Your modern so-cslled Democrat As :
serts with much confidence that there
were as many Democrats in the Wal
for the Union as Republicans. But
what did the party do during all those
years, and what is it doing to-day? AT
the beginning its conventions and its
new speakers denounced the war in Nm
measured terms. Every utterancs OF
theirs was calculated and was meant to
smbarrsss the Government in its sirug
gle against armed rebellion. In 1854 its
national convention proclaimed the Wal
failure -empssized that declaration
by nominating for the Presidency the
most conspicuous failure among the
Union Generals-and declared that the
Government should at once make peace
with the rebels. The year previous its
convention in Ohio had nominated foI
Governor a man who had been driven
into the rebel lines for disloyslty. This
year it has nominated for the Vice
Presidency q man who was conspicuous
ia his opposition to the war measures
of the Government.
No matter what individual members
of that political organization may have
done during the war, the party as an or
ganizstion was disloyal, and did what II
could to cripple the Government and its
armies in that great struggle. Follow
ing the war, it endeavOred to Obstruct
and embarrass a satisfactory and safe
adjustment of the great questions grow
ing out of the changed condition of af-
fairs throughout the States which had
been in revolt.
To-day this party is masquerading
and beating its drums for reform, ana
demanding that the control Of the Gov
ernment which 30 lately. apparently, j.
was willing should be dismembered and
broken into fragments. shall be commit
ted to its hands. For its chief standard
bearer it has chosen man who is pro-
nounced "mOrsl leper" by an infuen-
tial Democratic editor of Rochester,
New York, aud lately candidate for
elector upon the Democratic ticket, and
associated with him they have map
wholesale influence during the war was
was against his country. Mr.. Blaine
rendered his country valuable service
in the halls of Congress during the WAT
and through tie long struggle over re-
construction. Gen. Logan was the Chew
aIier Baysrd of our volunteer soldiery,
and since has been a patriotic and useful
man in Congress. The party which puts
them forward occupied no uncertain dor
equivocal position during the struggle
for the maintenance of the Union. Its
course was patriotic and generous du-
ring The war, and under its control the
country has prospereA As 1t never pros

THE N. Y. Herald of Friday joined
in the call for Mr.. Blaine to have his
friends cease their comment on Grover
Cleveland's private character. The Her
aid published a Washington letter threat
ening that unless the scandals were
suppressed, the private lives of Blaine
and other prominent Republicans would
be published. This only shows that the
Democrats are badly scared. They feel
that they are beaten already. Their
threats are equivalent to an admission of
the truth of all that has been said about
Mr.. Cleyeland's mineral character, and
instead Of attempting defense they
propose to invent tissue of lies against
Mr.. BlaiHe. Let them 60 OH. They can

HON. GEORGE l.. CONVERSE, Demo-

u denomination on Wednesday of last
week. Mr.. Converse became conspicuous
during the recent session of the House,
10y introducing and laboring to secure
the passage of a bill restoring the tariff
on wool. The prominent part which he
took in the measure, it was expected
weuld make him solid with his constt-
nepts and secure his denomination. The
Democratic majority in theHouse choked
to death his wool tariff bill, aud now the
Democrats of his district have punished
him for his presumption in attempting
to pass protective measure for the
farmers, by defeating his denomination.
Mr.. Converse has paid the penalty of his
devotion to the wool growers of Ohio,
and the free trade Democracy have again
demonstrated their ability to cast over
board every rrotectionist in its ranks.
