The Party of Wrong. the Party of Fraud,
Must Go.
ED. DEMoCRAT:-If a person will only
once in while make a note of the daily
dOings, deeds and misdeeds of the Re-
publican party, he will need no mission
airy or speaker to convince him that the
star-rOute, blOOdy-shIrt party should be
given dose Of-ballOt-bOx, at least.
The plan adopted in the removal from
office OF his Accidency G. A. Arthur by
Hayes and Sherman in 1879 is a good
one. This was unkind in the two latter
gentlemen; and some say Hayes owes
the government for set of crOquet tools
that he got in Washington to play with
the women and children in the White
House; while that honest statesman,
John sherman, was having w. Paul
Brown paid from the United States
Treasury for working on his house in
Washington, and this but a few months
after kicking Arthur out. However,
these two items are but drop in the
buc ket. The late hippOdrOme in Con-
cord, New Hampshire, which closed this
month in the election of one Pike to the
United States Senate, cost the state of
New Hampshire nearly forty thousand
dollars they being in session nearly
two months. Quite an expensive Pike
TO catch, and AT the same time was not
the choice Of the people. That assembly
pOrtrays the beauties of the present day
bOught-Office statesmen, and the plan of
allowing bribed State Legislatures to
elect United States Senators. The pOpu-
lar vote should elect all officers, from
President down to all other offices. 1t
has got to come to this; it is only a
question of time. Then the monODOiies
and national banks will cease to cor
ruptly govern the country, as they can
not bribe the rank and file of the people.
lt Is fine thing for q. Foster, Esq, of
FOstOria, to prate about HOadly Dur-
chasing his nomination, when it is well
known to many that both his (FOster's)
nominations were bought. He could
not have got them had he not used
plenty of money, for he has no execu-
tive abilities, as is plainly shown by his
administration. He should be the last
man to throw stones at HOadly, OF get
up sensation of that kind. He had
better shut his she'll.
The Hill investigating committee at
Washington has unearthed a fine state
of affairs lately. A systematic scheme
OF rObbing the government has been in
running order for some time. This
Architect Hill of Public Buildings has
proved himself a rascal of the first
water. Still he was kept in Office and
can party, and ably defended by that
Republican national banker and patriot,
John @. New, of Indiana, and in fact by
the whole administration.
Ii the Devil needs recruits, he can find
them to-day full fledged in the star route
party. If this party desires to prate
about using money for nominations and
elections, let it turn its eyes to Indiana
and Maine, in the year more espe cially
of 1880, and let it hunt up the records
OF Me5sTs. Dorsey, Brady, Robson, SheT-
man, and last, though not least, that
immaculate statesman, "My Dear Hub
bell, !" and If they are not satisfied, they
are hard to please.
The United States government is Grip
pied to-day by the telegraphers' strike
in all its departments on account of
Praise-GOd BarebOnes Brewster being
Jay GOuld's Western Union attorney, as
we'll as the Republican party's Attorney
General Of the United States, as that
snide statesman of Carrie Ids, Stanley
Matthews, IS Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Bench, who was also attorney for
the Pacific railroads. Thus is every i'm
portant office in the country handicapped
ard presided over by tool of monopoly,
while the uuwriJten history of the cleo
tiOn frauds and rascalities of the year
1880, just coming to light, are astOund-
Ing and almost beyond belief. Ii al
lowed to have political power for ten
years more, it will be impossible to re-
move the numerous Oflice-hOlders and
sap-suckers of the Republican party ex-
cept at the point of the bayOnet.
The Scott liquor law and the Teduc-
tiOn of taxes are their great hobbies
now. Near twenty years have passed
since the civil war, and there was no
reduction in tariff or taxes. When did
the Republican party suggest or adopt
measure or law for the reduction of
taxes2 Never, till the Democratic tidal
wave struck them. Now they cry re-
duce the taxes as last resource. Too
late, too late. That dodge won't work.
when the devil got sick
Tho devil a monk would be;
When the devil got we'll,
The devil a monk he.n
The Republican party's mission has
ended, and it must go. 1t is the party
of violence and wrong, and thoughtful
people think its end has come. Thus
