within the power of one state upon an inter

give il power to demand more than its

AGAINST PROHIBITION.

Republican leaders and journals are
gradually taking ground against the

however, they still continue TO lie low
and keep dark.

ward, Cleveland, on Tuesday evening,
this week, Hon. A. L. Morrison of Chi

for the Scott law, and advocated heavy

SENATOR Sherman tries to alleviate
Dorsey's exposure of the millions used
in 1880 to carry Indiana, New York,
Ohio, etc, and elect Garfield and Arthur.
The Senator touches it very gingerly of
course, admitting the fact. and saying
both parties use too much money. Amer
ican Exchange says:
As to the use of money by both par
ties, the Republican party has been in
power for twenty-five years. It has
blaZed the way and set the COPY and
marked out the political methods. If
the minority did manifest some dispOsi-
tiOn to follow the means employed by
the majority it would not be remarkable
but where are the great interests to re-
spOnd at the call of the Democratic par
typ We deny that the Democratic par
ty has used such means as a party, al
though in few localities, and on the
part of few Democrats, there have
doubtless been such cases. Republican
methods are organized and systematic
collections from great interests of all
kinds and of various degrees of Tespecta-
bility and morality, and systematic
and organized application of funds to
corrupt the ballOt-bOx, and maintain
privilege. Destroy this system and the

taken but the public will not then at
one bound recover from having fOstered
this systematiZed corruption, robbery,
and bribery for twenty-five years; or to
date it more correctly, from the time
when 1t irst began to be the all cOntTOll-
ing method, for fifteen years from 1868,
when the great business interests repre-
sented by leading capitalists and bnsi-
ness men suggested Grant, having in
view stability. The Republican party
embraced the suggestion and nominated
Grant, and passed under the control of
the business idea, which soon became a
a ring idea. Everybody knows how soon
ali kinds of rings begin to build them
selves up behind the great name of the
bluff and personally honest, but blind,
and politically inexperienced old SOL
dier. The most serious charge against
the Republican party is that it has low
cred the tone of political life, and cor
Pupted to some extent the whole cOun-
try and not itself alone. If we find boss
ism even on the Democratic party, local
ly here and there it is an exact mini
ature copy of that which Dervades the
entire Republican party, national and
local. The only way to reform is
through the destruction of the RepubIi-
can system; the rest will follow speedi-
ly and in due order.
