Foraker IN Now 1oIk'
Judge FORAKER spoke at James
town. New York. on Wednesday last.
lie carried his malignity with him, and
in New York. as he had done at home,
vented his spleen upon the poor perse-
cuted South. and waved with strong
arm the flag Of the bloody shirt. Next
week he is expected in Virginia, so we
are told, but we can hardly credit the
rumor. At any rate, MAHoNE's New
York organ, the Tribune, reports him
as having spoken at jamestown as fol-
lows:
1.-THE Republican party should be
returned to power. first Of all because
it has not been in any morally legti-
mate sense turned out Of power. The
solid South is meant by this remark.
Ii has been said that we thould not
arouse memories Of the war. | call
your attention to the fact thai in Virginia
in Fi;zhugh Lees canvass the casaicade
that attends him to political meetings
bears at It's head the battle-ilags borne
by the memorable Pickett's division at
Getty sburg. The Democrats are taking
tue lead in arousiug var memo.
ries. | do not believe that the
war memories of the wrong side
should be appealed to and those
of the right side forgotten. The Re-
publican party does not appeal TO MON
cries Of war in speaking of the solid
South. Ii Ie'er, to the condition Of
things TO-DAY when speaking Of the
solid South. The reconstruction policy
gave the black a vote and thIs added
thirty-eieht votes 10 the electoral col
lece. In the last election the people
back Of those ihirty-eght votes were
misrepresentod. By this means the
men Who followed Jackson and Lee
were given two or three times greater
political power thar that held by the
men who followed Sheridan and Grant. y
II Democrat had made aspeech four
years ago containing the sentence first
above quoted, he would have been de-
nouncod from Maine to Minnesota as $
double-dyed traitor. SHERMAN did as
much as any other man to cheat Mr..
TILDEN out Of the presidency, and as
much as am other man to
elect FORAKER Governor of Ohio,
and yet FORAKER has the unblush-
ing impudence TO declare TO an
audience in Mr.. TILDEN's own State
that "the Republican party has not
been in any morally legitimate sense
turned out Of power Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND was not elected at all, according
to this new doctrine. Is FORAKER
preaching treason! If not, what is it?
General LOGAN saws FIT2 LEE rides
on the " treason-s stained saddle" Of his
Uncle RoBEKT +. LEE. Does not
treason Of a deeper hue "stain " the
speech Of Judge FORAKER?
1.-The men who followed JACKSON
and LEE" auoth this Ohio missionary,
are given two or three times greater
political power Than that held by the
men who followed SHERIDAN and
GRANT" What fal,ehooi. The
Republican electors in Ohio and Penn
sylvania suppressed the votes Of
seven hundred and fity-eight thousand
white men Democrats-aad cast the
entire electoral vote Of those two
States for RLAI,,E. Seven hun
died and Gfty-eigh. thousand sup
pressed Democratic white votes IN
only two States In ,he North will Offset
all the negro Sc;e, suppressed IN The
same way in south Carolina, Florida,
Louisiana. Georgia. Mississippi, and
Arkansas. What woall FORAKER
say il be should be confronted with that
fact. OF with the fact that every Rhode
Island Republican has forty times a
much influence in the United States
Senate as New York Democrat, and
ten times IS much as Virginia Demo
cTat:
OF course If FORAKER comes to Viz
cinia. he will be afraid to stand up In
the presence Of any Virginia speaker
and make blunders 50 numerous and
statements so false and Incredible. lie
will not divide time with MASSEY, nol
with any other Democratic speaker.
