What is civil government institu
ted for? Dc the spoils Of office con-
stitute its chief purpose? The Re
publican party has been acting upon
the hypothesis that the main object
of the Government has been the con
troll of patronage, the distribution of
the offices, honors and emolumeuts
as rewards for election services
This shallow view has corrupted all
the political elements of the country.
The great fundamental truth, that
government is instituted to protect
the people in their u~nalienable rights
of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, appears to be lost sight
of in the general scramble for the
spoils of office. To say the least of
it, we have reached a crisis in our
public affairs, when the protection of
the people in their rights of personal
liberty, personal security and private
property, is made merely secondary
to the spoils of office.

What we Believe.

o E scbCts
We believe in the genuine priDci-
Piles of Democratic held by the faith
ers and founders of the Republic,
those cherished principles which IN
derlie the whole structure of our
Government, and we believe that the
Democratic party only can bring it
back to the safe, anchorage of the
Constitution, to the paths of econo-
my, integrity, and fidelity, to the
people.
The experience of twenty years of
Republican rule, with its long carni-
val of crime, corruption and Gebauch-
cry, should induce the American PEG
pie to pause, and calmly consider
the question whether the best inter
ests of the country do not impera-
lively demand a change, as well in
the politics as in the practices and
character of our rulers.
A long lease of undisturbed power
is almost certain to engender and
bring to the surface the meanest and
basest passions of those who yield
it, history may be searched in vain
for a single instance where a party
grown corrupt in long possession of
office and power, was ever willing to
institute, or able to carry out, any
measure for the genuine reform of
abuses which had grown up in the
hot bed Of vice and corruption, sus-
tanned by the vile, the venal and the
cowardly. The only remedy for such
abuses as have blackened the record
of the Republican party, is to be
found in the free and fearless use of
the surgeons knife, and this can new
er be looked for at the hands of the
afflicted patient. Reform must come,
if it comes at all from the outside.
The prison house of so many hideous
secrets of crime must be laid bare to

there should have been anything ex-

The foods of last week done very

serious of which was the partial de-

River Bridge over the Miami river,
two miles north of Hamilton, on the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton,
and the Cincinnati and Chicago rail
road. The bridge has not been CON
sidered safe ever since the big floods
of over n year ago, and workmen
were kept busily engaged at work

preparatory to building a fine, sub
stantial iron bridge. For some rea-
son the work has progressed very
slowly, and the last weeks high wa
