THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL

Said Mr.. Dorsey in his statement:
''They talk of fine work in Indiana. 1t wasn
a patch to that of New York, where our chic
implements were hot work, sharp trades, qnie
bargains and golden stream from Stevenson's
| bank.''
Money was poured out like shower from
heaven to carry Indiana. That state il
naturally a Democratic state, and it re-
quired unusual work to produce the needed
'change of thought" to give it to the Re
publicans. Mr.. Dorsey states frankly how
| it was done:
''Each one of these men, nearly 5000 in mum
Der, reported what they could do and how much
| it would take to influence people to change Of
thought. We paid $40 to some, and as high a.
| $75 to others, but we took care that the thret
men from every township should know just wha
each got. There was no chance for 'nigging.
There, that's all there was in carrying Indiana il
October.''
Yet, what was done IN Indiana, wasn't
"patch" to the work that was put in New
York. The majority of $4,000 for Tilden
in New York and Kings counties, in 1876
was cut down in 1880 to $4,000 for Han
cock. The hot work, sharp trades, quie
bargains, and the golden streams from
Stevenson's bank accomplished that much
which as every man who is familiar will
politics knows is great deal. It was flint
work, surely.
1.-The Republicans bought the Presidency
in 1880. There are none to dispute tina
| 100000 was used in Indiana. Mr.. Dor
sey says: "Mr. Ed. Stevenson, president o.
the Sixth Avenue National bank of New
York, received and disbursed all the money
sent to me. think he disbursed about
$500,000 on my orders.''
This is fair picture of the Republican
party, and of what it has been since 1868
1t has been the party of corruption since
the first nomination of Grant. Genera
Grant, was, before his nomination fol
President, SO little in sympathy with the
Republican party that before he would
accept its nomination a bargain wa,
struck with him that he should have two
terms and the salary of the office should
be increased from $25,0OO to $4,000
year. That trade gave the country two
terms of Grant. In order to retai1
the presidency after him it becam,
necessary to steal it, and having
enjoyed its possession four years longer
they bought it outright.
Thus the rascals have kept themselves
in power. Is it to be wondered at that tn,
honest people of this country are agreed
that it is time to Turn them out. Who il
there in the Republican party of this da!
who who commands national respect anC
confidence? What is the history and rec
ord of the party since the administration
of Grant began. A history of proflgacy
extravancies, frauds upon he people, job
bing in Office, bargains in appointments
of men who entered public Office in penury
and now roll in colossal wealth.
These are the times that have faller
upon the Republic under Republican rule
The public temper demands a change
The times are ripe for it. The people
have begun to speak. All the election!
held since 1880 have proclaimed the com
ing of the end of Republican misrule
The elections of this year will add to the
volume of public condemnation. The
Handwriting is upon the walls. The battle
cry has been sounded forth, "Turn the
Rascals out"
