The Alliance has broken down

discussion of those issues which affect
their hearthstones-their wives and

waving a bloody shirt, nor Can they
divert their attention from the consid-
GRAFTON of their true interests by

have done with mere party spirit, for
a spirit more fell never is sued from
hell. 1t spares neither the living nor
the dead; it invades the sanctity OF
home; it penetrates the privacy of the
bedchamber; it even mutilates the IN
scriptions of tombstones to effect a
diabolical purpose. 1t has blackened
the fame of every American President
from Washington to Harrison. No
epithet is too vile to heap upon a
man, no slender too foul to be re-
ported by partizan against partizan.
1t gu ded the bullets Of Booth and
the assassin of Garfield. 1t ratified

places we have the power, and that
power we intend to use to cleanse the
