The republican party viii @ into the polit
ical contest this fail tn one great advantage.
The busines and industry or the country are
stinatly rcv.ving- degree OF staEuation
which few were disposed 10 recOgn le did, i'll
deed, follow the partial failure OF crops last
year. The worst of il has been felt ia sea-
son, even after il had become certain thai the
yield this ar would be large.-N. J. H. iJuue.
In looking around for peg upon
which to hang a reason why the Repub-
lican party should remain in power, and
control the destiny of the Republic, the
organs and bosses of the party. driven
from ever hole and den in which they
have taken shelter, having had every
refuge of lies battered down by storms
of facts and figures, seek to hide them
selves from the wrath to come by point
ing the people TO the abundant crops
which a benefcent Providence has sent
as the rewards of toll; they declare that
owing to such favorable surroundings
the Republican party VIII 90 into the
political contest this fall with one great
advantage" Such highfaluten hypoc-
risy is really very suggestive. 1t is a
combination of ignorance and ignominy
in about equal proportions. 1t is ldiocy
and Infamy. each with a pickaX and
spade, digging a hole for the remains of
the Republican party when the Demo
cratic party shall have bruised its head
an organs and bosses do not ask the
people to support the candidates and
policy of the Republican party because
candidates and policy are patriotic
and pure. They dare not do that
because the record of the party is
black with perfidy. The New York
tribune sees the point distinctly, and
invites the country to contemplate in
the magnificence of the harvests the
wonderful things the Republican party
has done for the country. The Repub-
lican party goes into the fall campaign
of 1882 with - one great advantage" +"
saws the Irjb1tae. What IS this one
great adeantage?n Simply this: The
country feels certain that the crops win
be large, and the Republican party pro-
poses TO enter the political contest
claiming all the credit for the crops If
in the future the Democratic party es-
tablishes beyond all controversy that
the Republican party has foisted upon
the country curses without numhe-. i.

tot al Ii a word is said about biucLHai
the bosses and organs viii refer to ele
vators full of barley, to breweries anC
beer, and claim all as the result of Re
publican policy. As against any Repub-
lican rascalitY in the catalogue of ruin
the bosses win claim they are all wipeC
out blythe abundant crop of RE which
the Republican party has bestowed
upon the country. When the Demo
cratic party charges that Republican
officials are guilty of violating theI
oatbS. they will demand verdict of nc
quittal, because the Republican party
has raised all the Outs. When the Re
publican party is charged with foment
ing sectional hates, fierce as hell. i
will ask to be exculpated because bu
