Voting the Way They Shot

. In the Shallow Brain-Pan O.
Some Republicans.
We to day heard a Republican
who had ehanced, by the coer
cion Of Edwin Nj. Stanton and his
conscription law to wear The blue
boastingly say. that he intended
to vote as he had shot, and it
caused us to think-seriously-o!
the meaning if any.that attached
to this pet phrase of Republican,
ism.
Men who can not, after twenty
years of peace, lay down the
isword are dangerous men in the
community, and not fit for hr-
man friendship or human associ-
alton. 1t is the same spirit that
four hundred years ago burnt,
christians at the stake, and two
h. ndred years ago in tn the State
of Massachusetts vented its
spleen on inoffensive old women.
and hung them by the neck as
witches. The idea is the direct
offspring Of ignorance, and the
lenial defendant OF superstition
and intolerance
What, if anything, did the sol
der of twenty years ago shoota
If he did his duty under his
enlistment, he directed his efforts
in shooting rebels, and now after
twenty years these ignorant,
blundering fools are stillslashing
themselves into the belief that
every man who has and express
as an opinion upon any question
of public policy, Isl rebel. unless
that opinion is articulated by
Republican lips.
They vote the Republican tick
ct. by their own evidence, upon
the policy and acts of that party |
quarter of a century ago. and
do not know, the poor driveling
dotards, that all the while the
world has been moving. and the
questions that then marked the
party lines lie buried by the
sands Of time too deep for any
power to exhume.
Men of sense want a reason for
voting the Republican ticket that
is fresh and alive. ands will not
be satisfied with owl boots that
are footed with hory antiquity.
But if you must vote as you
shoot, train your guns at the
Rebel General Keyes, the Re
