NJ Dorado Republican,
The "Allianco Nightingale" is the
production Of Mrs. Florence Ohm
stead, Of Douglass, in Butler county
a loyal daughter OF a union volunteer
soldier in the late war-a true woman
whose heart throbs in sympathy with
the poverty and the distress Of a long
suffering people. The little songster
breathes sentiments Of loyalty and
humanity inspired by the purest mo-
tives Of the heart Of a true woman. IL
has met the approval Of the members
Of the organization for which il was
designed, and is used by many OF
them in their meetings.
4. b. Murdoch is editor Of Che El
Dorado Republican--a man who
stands convicted OF Standardization
by the columns Of his own paper
Speaking OF the politicians who ma
nipulate the affairs Of the republican
party in 1887, he said;
They bulldOZe or subsldlzo the newspapers,
tramp upon small politicians, blackmall the rail-
roads for their followers and rob them Of money
for q corruption fund.
They put stupid inbocles or ChancterIesa
deadbeats into prominent places and dominate
az successfully as Boss Tweed ever ruled New
York. II strong man reyOlts he Is bought on
with a fat Office; II weak one objects they sniff
him out
He then pOrtrays wildly the filth
and corruption of the republican
party. IL is this wretCh-this Cring-
ing, fawning sycophant who stands
self stultifed before the people, who
is to day the apologist Of all the cor
ruption he 30 wildly described il
1887, who stoops to insult noble anC
pure woman, the daughter Of union
soldier, and the people who appre
ciate and prize her work, by chasing
il with a rebel history and a rebe
geography. And yet such conscience
Arabs kick when respectable people
talk Of excluding such vile sheets
from their homes. We have mighty
little respect for the intelligence Of
people who will submit to such in
suits and still support the cowardlJ
villains who publish them.

The above is one of the slickest
moves of the republican party. The
object is to have a complete list Of
the members Of the farmers alliance
so that just before election it can send
the GREAT CONSPIRACY, which
it is now busily engaged in preparing.
This CONSPIRACY is as ingenious
a piece of political devilishness as
was ever launched upon an unsus-
pectinR public. It will consist OF
msliciously and viCiously false at
tacks upon the candidates Of the peo-
ple's party, sustained by aftidavite

Senator Quay has been charged with
embezzlement from the Treasury and
the accusation is sustained by full details
of the crime. His answer is "dignified
silence"
Senator Delamater, the Republican
candidate for Governor, stands accused
on responsible authority of bribery, per-
jury and forgery, and his answer is
"dignified silence"
Major Mcdowell, the Republican nomi-
nee for Congress in the Twenty fifth
district of this State, is charged, on oath
of three men, of purchasing his nomina-
tion by bribing delegates. His answer
is "dignifed silence"
Lawyer Wallace, of New Castle, is
accused, on oath of three citizens of
Beaver county, with paying the money
by which the Twenty fifth District Con-
gressional Conference was debauched in
the interest of Mcdowell. His answer
is that Quay has set the example, and he
maintains "dignified silence.
DIR. Henderson Hayward and Jos. II /.
Huddell, well known Republican politi-
clans of Delaware county, have been ar
rested for criminally using money to in
fluence the result of the primary election
in the Sixth Congressional District The
charge is supported by the oath of ex-
County Commissioner BENZ. F. Pretty,
and the answer is a "dignifed silence"
This dignified silence is becoming epi-
demic, and has already assumed danger
GUS form. 1t only remains for the crimi-
nal in the dock to plead "dignified
silence" when he is arraigned in court,
and the policy of Quay, Delamater and
their followers will be fully appreciated.

warp and woof of every Anglo-Saxon

warp and woof of every Anglo-saxon
mind.
The truth is, scratch an American and
you will find States rights man, not in
the sense of Calhoun, certainly, but a
stalwart believer in home rule, local self
government, the right of every commu-
nifty to manage its own affairs, the right
of every individual to steer the bark of
his own destiny without undue interfer-
ence from without. Convictions such as
these, ineradicable from every Anglo
Saxon heart, are what have given the
Democratic party its enduring lease of
it rises again. Not so with its opponents
Federalists, Wings, Know-Nothings-all
have gone down before it, never to rise
again. And, although the Democracy
by its course during the events leading
to the late war seemed at one time to be
buried forever out of sight, the party still
shows itself to be thoroughly alive. 1t
cannot be killed. And for the simple
reason that the principles for which it
stands and has stood appeal to the aver
age American heart. Black sheep and
backsidlings to the contrary. Democracy
has always, in the main, stood for the
rights of the individual and the rights of
the community. And it stands for them
now. In its opposition to the follies and
the iniquities of the Mckinley bill it is
doing battle for the vast mass of
consumers against the plots of
the oligarchy of manufacturers. And
when, the other day, the Democratic mi
nority went down in the House in their
protest against the revolutionary and
Sectional Election bill, their adversaries
seemed to have won the battle. But they
will not be long in finding that it was
but Pyrrhic victory. The true issue
may be obscured by partisan passion for
the moment. But only for the moment.
triumph scored over instincts and con-
victions innate to the American mind
cannot endure. The Hartford Courdnt
sounded note of warning, but sounded
it too late. The bark of the G. o. P. is
already among the breakers.-New York

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1890-07-24

Ingalls, will not hesitate to force closure
of the debate regardless of the rules OF
the Senate if that becomes necessary in
order to pass the bill.
~
The United States Senate has the repu-
tation of being conservative body, but
it can make some quick changes. Its ac-
ton in relation to the Silver bill may be
cited as an instance. On June 18th the
Senate, by a majority of seventeen,
passed bill providing for the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. But the
House of Representatives refused to ac-
cept that bill, and on July 10th, by a
majority of thirteen, this same United
States Senate passed a bill which was as
far from being free Silver Coinage bill
as possible. The Senators who indulged
in this radical change were all Republi-
cans. For discipline and entire obedience
to the party whip the Republican party
is commendable.
~
A bill fixing eight hours as the limit of
a days work for Goverement laborers
was favorably reported to the House
last week. For years there has been
on the statute books law intended to
effect the same purpose, but it has been
practically a dead letter from its enact
ment. There does not seem to be much use
of burdening the statute books with laws
of this kind if Government officials are too
negligent to enforce them. r.
