The Republican mPlotters."


"The little band Of plotters headed
by Mr.. Blaine" says the New York
Times of November 9. The little band
of plotters headed by Mr.. Blaine num-
Der something like six millions of adult
male voters, and not traitor or skulker
among them; not an unrepentant,
unreconstructed rebel among the
lot; not a broom-ranging Northern
copperhead; not a hypocritical nest
hiding parson; not dandy dude; not q
sulking, snarling stalwart; not mer-
cenary editor paid from the English
reptile fund" Into the ambuscade Of
Treason rode the six million; boldly
they rode and well Stormed at with
lies, into the jaws Of calumny, into the
hell OF false accusation rode Blaine
heading bis six million. Then they
rode back-the six million; ranks un-
broken, not man dismayed, not a soul
disheartened. They that fought so well,
came through the jaws OF death back
from the mouth of hell, all of them--all
the noble and gallant six million.

continuance which is necessary to log
ical and safe development. If princi-
pal can only be written in law or put
into the Constitution, the opinion seems
to be that that is final and
conclusive settlement of the whole
matter. If equality of rights is ex-
pressed in law, or If prohibition be put
into the Constitution, then all is well,
though equality may be trampled under
foot, or whisky run free as water. To
make answer to the fragrant denial of
rights and justice in the South that it
is differently written in the laws. is the
babble of a fool Every one knows
that the soil of the South is saturated
with the blood of men murdered for
opinion 5 sake; that laws and Constitu-
tions lie prone in the dust, and that
whatever may be the dictate of
mere temporary prudence, the real an
imating spirit of the Southern Democ-
racy is shown in the wild rebel yell
which comes up exultantly from every
quarter. The genius of this Govern
ment is equality. Equality of rights
is the first of rights" said Charles
Summer, and so long as that is denied,
timid men, and selfish men, and wicked
men will plead in vain for peace and
quiet. Right is of greater value than
ignoble ease or filthy lucre. Mr. Blaine's
great speech will sound through the
country like an alarum. Its echoes
will not cease to be heard until justice
is done and equality is triumphant

What II Is to Be Bourbon Democrat.

Mr. Hendricks passes all ordinary
bounds, too, when he asserts that no
one had right to accuse the Demo
cratic party Of unsoundness as to the
currency. He knows the history of the
party. OF many of its worst acts, of
many of its most dangerous attempts,
he was a conspicuous champion. He
now reasons: care we not interested
in sound and stable currency, we
Democrats as well as Republicans"
Yes; and you were also interested in
maintaining the Union. But you, Mr..
Hendricks, and others like you by the
thousand, conspired with traitors to
bring about the defeat of the Union
cause, and voted many times in such
ways as to cripple loyal armies. This
you did, with thousands more, because
party spirit was stronger than loyalty
to country. In precisely the same way
Democrats who knew their party could
not be trusted on the question of repu-
diation or initiation nevertheless voted
for it. They were interested in public
credit, and sound currency, but they
were more interested in party success.
So again, Democrats who knew their
party tended 10 break down the tariff,
to destroy all industry, to lower wages,
and to bring hard times for everybody,
nevertheless voted for it. They were
interested in public prosperity, but they
cared more for party triumph. Vim
dictive feeling as to the past swayed
them more than personal interest as to
the future. That is what it is, Mr..
Hendricks, to be a Bourbon Democrat,
as Won are.-N Y. Tribune.
