sLAlNE.s RETROSPECT.



Some OF the Reasons why tho "P1umcd
Knight" Il Depressed.
Mr.. Blaine has had little to say Of
late. Ills bitter and foolish harangue
at Augusta after his defeat was enough.
II Is well. But the silent Plumed
Knight Is sad over the thought Of what
might have been. and hcaves deep
sigh from time 10 time ~ the spectri
money kings around the banquet board
M Drlmonico's rise up before him
And he il particularly depressed when
the shadow Of Dr. Bnrchard falls before
his gaze.
Seven months ago the future was
roseate in Mr.. Blainc's mind. The am.
bilious statesman had been nominated
for President by the Republican Con.
vcntion. He had 'served his people"
for quarter Of a century In Legislative
halls. but the great aim Of his life was
to serve them In the Executive De
parmcnt. lie coveted the honor o.
ruling iifty-ivc million people. No
Republican candidate for twenty-five
years had failed to enter the White
House. Surely he, with his magnetism
and his audacity. was not to be defeat
ed. A Republican nomination wa
equivalent to an election. SO, acting
on this pleasing theory, he began early
10 shape his plans for administering
the affairs Of the Government.
Mr. Blaine had accepted the aid Of
Jay Gould, the willy monopollst. Mr..
Gould's railroad syndicate owed the
Government vast sum Of money which
was to be conveniently forgotten by the
new Cabinet. Star-Routc. Brady, Star
Route Dorsey. Whisky-Ring Joyce. and
Navy Ring Roach were all ardent sup
porters OF Mr.. Blaine. These men were
to be near the throne. Result: A ricl
harvest for Mr.. Blaine.
Castles were built in the air by al
the millionaire plunderers on the basis Of
the Plnmed Knights power TO conduct
successful campaign. But public
sentiment was aroused against Repub-
lican rascality. and Mr.. Cleveland, the
great political Rcformer. the man who
knew no ring. who would accept no
personal Gift. was elected instead Of MIR.
Blaine. And the Star-route gang, a.
well as Mr.. Blaine. now sigh upon the
threshold Of 1885, when they realise
what they have missed.
The Star-routc thieves alone robbed
the Government Of S4.OO0.0OO. Had
the Republicans won this time, the rob
bing would have quadrupled that
amount in single year. Natural,
Blaine and his friends are sad Wei
do the people rejoice. Blaine hopes =
be the candidate Of his party again u
1888. but he will never more deceive
himself BY thinking that nomination
means an election. The days Of pr
chasing the presidency are past Rich
m0nd State.
The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1885-01-30


While the stories Of negro alarm at
the election uf Grover Cleveland have
been exaggerated for political purposes,
there has certainly been some appre-
hension on the part Of the most ignorant
Of the Southern blacks that the return
Of the Democrats 10 power meant in
some manner the oppression Of their
race.
One If the best results 10 be accomplish
ed during President Cleveland's term
Is the removal Of the erroneous impress
sion.from the minds Of the Sou hcrn
negroes that Democrats are their natural
enemies and Republicans their friends
and protectors.
Since emancipation and enfranchise-
mcnt the Republicans have been in I'M
disturbed possession Of the National
Government. For their own purposes
they have deceived the colored people
Of the South with the story that should
the Republican party be deprived Of
powcr Acknowledgement would cease and
slavery be restored That SO stupid and
wicked falsehood should be believed
| i proof Of the ignorance and super
| stition Of n race rccklessly endowed
with the franchise by the Republicans
Immediately on the adjustment Of
| the deplorable institution Of slavery,
which had deprived its victims Of all
| education.
| The Democratic party favored eman-
cipation as a war measure. but would
not have cnfranchised millions Of the
released slaves and flooded. the ballot
box with the most degraded ignorance.
Such an act was an insult to American
citizenship.
But now that the negroes arc en-
dowed with all the rights Of citizens the
Democrats would not. ii they could. de-
prive them Of one Of those rights. The
mission Of Democracy is to educate the
Southern blacks up to an. intelligent
and honest exercise of the franchise.
The Republicans have no right tc
claim. as they do. that the negroes OF
the South are all in sympathy with thai
marty. even now. The enfranchised
slaves were given the ballot in order
that they might become the politca
chat,eIs Of the Republican party. Tha
i one Of the crimes for which Repub
lcanism has to answer. But the over
throw Of carpet-bag and bayonet ruiz
gave second Acknowledgement, politi
cal Acknowledgement, to the Southern
