Republican Duplicity

publican may be put into a posi-
ton to assist in crushing every
principle dear TO the heart OF the
true Democrat.
Now what must be done by
any Democrat before he can sup
port candidate Of the orpoSi-
lion?
Let us briefly review the i'm
mediate past of our country.
For twenty-four years, Demo
Gratis high and low have been
designated as traitors: villains
and copperheads-men unworthy
of the confidence, esteem and
companionship of these self styi-
ed patriots. For twenty-four
wears these same men have been
ignoring the teachings of Christ
| and the Apostles. and preaching
the hell-begotten doctrine of inn
placable hate and intolerance,
| and instill:ng into the minds OF
the children the glaring lie, that.
| the nearest visible approach 10 a
| devil incarnate, was a man who
voted The Democratic ticket.
They belong to the tribe OF
hypocriies who cry ''peace, peace
but there is no peace"
Ministers OF the Gospel, law
| yers, doctors, merchants, men OF
letters, and the uneducated JON
| tongues in villifying all who dis
| agree to their notions of govern
mental policy.
The Republican party, con-
ceived in the single idea of the
abolition of slavery, and at whose
birth sectional hate acted as ply
sician, and disioyalty to the con
stitution and laws of the land was
installed as wet nurse, the party
grew great and fastened its Shiny
| carcass on the body polite like q
barnacle to the rocks of the serf-
| beaten shore.
The civil war was the first
born of this political monstrosity
! and the natural outgrowth OF the
damnable doctrine of hatred and
intolerance.
"The Constitution is a league
with death and a covenant with
he'll" was Haunted from theil
mast and proclaimed from the
pulpit and the stump until hon
esL men who stood petrified with
terror at the audacity of thei'
treason, learned first to tolerate
and then to embrace the damna-
BILE heresv. painted on the Re-
publican escutcheon in the sui;
pherous smokes of Lucifer's fires
After precipitating the civil
| war which cost the country
million lives and more than three
billions OF treasure, they raise
| the cry of traitor, and pose them.
selves as the saviors ct the coun-
try that never was in danger save
from the effects Of their hellish
doctrine of hate.
Being a party possessing nc
principles save plunder, and hell
inspired hatred of anything and
everything that tends to curtail
their power, they live only in the
past, and ghoul- like, feast on the
putrid carcass of the OWL war.
What matters it to them that
one generation or ten have passed
away since the close of the war
They know that a return ofpeace
good will, and general prosper
ity is the death knell of their
power, and hence all their efforts
are bent upon engendering strife
hatred and Ill Will.
Democrats are prescribed, viii
fed and nicknamed, to hide their
own faults from public view ant
discussion. Prohibitionists are
| yiliied, ostracized and abused
because they are true TO thcii
convictions, and stand by tEeil
colors.
In most of towns. whether BY
precuncsrted agreement, CT not
in no business house controlled
by Republicans can Il Democrat

No matter how competent
honest or anxious, the chances o
| the Democratic boy are reduced
to one in a thousand, in seeking
a position.
Sam Brigh! but echoes the vim
dictive spirit Of his party whei
he rises from his bed, as he die
last fall, at three O'clock in tht
morning. TO denounce Democrat
as copperheads and traitors, un-
worthy Of the confidence and as
sociation of good men.
Robert Keynes only gave free
! tongue to the sentiments OF The
average Republican when he de
ciared:
Eg"I WOULD RATR EE
FOLLOW MY BOYS TO THE

T!CKET." -u

TO say it was said III a heated dis
cussion. Their dupiicity is MAJ

their lives.
