THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY MUST GO

Under the above heading the New York
Sun comes out in red hot article against
the republican party. Its arraignment of
the republican party is enough to drive
every honest man from it. 1t states that
the Star route defendants were repubii-
cans, were prosecuted by a republican
administration, tried by a republican
judge and acquitted by republican jury.
1t alludes to the scandals under Grant,
the Babcock whisky ring, Black Friday,
Credit Mobilier,. Freedmans Bank, and
other jobs which fourished about that
time. The Sun says: When a republi-
can congress passed the salary grab anG
the back pay steal, they only kept time
to the quickstep of robbery, with Secol
Robeson's marine band furnishing the
music. And after indignant public opin
ion compelled retreat from that bare
faced scheme of spoilation, the doubled
salary of the president was preserved as
a special compliment to Grant.
The iobbers, the ringsters, the plum
derers, the adventures, and the thieve
infested the White House, demanded
third term for Grant. The third tern
conspiracy failed only because the part,
feared crushing defeatif the experimen
was tried.
