A P4IYARIE IKKOR.

Commenting upon General Grants recent
talk with General Buckner. The Utica Obscrrer
remarks that the reconciliation 10 which he
apoints with pleasure could never have been
accomplished were the political fortunes of
the South left dependent upon the mercy of
the party with which he was long identified
= 1t was the Democracy ot the North that hast
acncd the day of reconciliation, and for that
achievement alone it deserves undying
glory The trouble with these self-compla-
cent assertions is that they have no foundation
in fact. Tested by the cold truth of history
they are seen to be absurdities. TIE Demo-
cratic party, instead of fastening the day of
Southern nc.liatiun, has distinctly retarded
il.
No sooner was the war over than the Re-
publican party continued the loyal work which
It had so nobly begun and carried forward from
Sumter to Appomattox, by addressing itself to
the grave and pcrplexing problem of recon
structng the Stites which had taken up arms
against the Union. In this great work. in
which reconciliation was necessarily involved
which wa, in fact but another name for recon-
ciliation- the Democratic party bore no credit
able part Its relation to the reconstructive
IeglslullOn put lHIDupH ,Hc Ho
had the majority in Congress, was that Of n
malignant faut-inder and an ever-prcsent
stumbling block. Its influence. was not thrown
on the side OF those who waved the olive
branch but with the Ku-Klux gang and kin
ilred organizations at the South who set aside
the olive branch in favor of the bludgcOn, the
torch and the shotgun.
Now that the Democracy has come into
power again it is more anxious than ever to
vindicate its record during the War and the
unsettled era that came Immediately afterward.
But vndication Is impossible. Through the
whtewash which super -serviceablc Demo-
cratic newspapers like The Observer are con-
tinually applying, the ugly old stains continue
to reveal themselves. Democracy was not
q loyal party while the contest between union
and disunon vas being wagcd. 1t was party
that furnished all the traitors at the South and
all the Copperheads at the North. And its
course during the reconstruction period was
equally unpatriotic and indefensible. The
Observer meant well, but it might better have
kept quiet. Whoever attempts to eulogze the
career of the Democracy during the last quarter
of century undertakes n sorry task. The
Democratic record during that time, in the
words of Junius, escapes censure only az 1t
escapes observation"
