There are thousands Of honorable

Not the Republican party as Il existed

inspired BY the noble desire % give free

party Of high motives and strong integ-

preservation Of the Nation. That truly
Republican party died with the much
abused Andrew Johnson's accidental

first term. II is true. But II ceased 20

In 1872 the Republicans We're contln-

been built up inside the Republican

up and reached the White House. Cor
ruption had eaten into the Cabinet.

elected Mr.. Tilden President. The
oligarchy Of privileged interests which

But for that the oligarchy would long
