No Republican has either spoken or
written a word Of apology or justification
for the November slection. Not one Of
them, not even Spirituelle Spruance or
Holiness Hastings has ever said 1t was a
fair or an honest election The papers have
made charge after charge Of fraud, Of
bribery, of bulldozing, Of hired deputy
marshals, Of stolen tax receipts and Of
Baltimore reporters, but not a
single word has been spoken
In denial or even in palliation
spruance and Hastings were willing to
let ell OF those things be taken for
grantad-they practically acknowledged
the charges-but they we're anxious that
their party should profit by them. The
willingness to condone all sorts Of politi-
cal chicanery for the purpose Of holding
or usurping Office Is not q local disease,
which affects respectable Republicans
here only. It permeates the
whole party The same disease
has sent Republican Senators from
Democratic states OF New York and Con-
necticut, stolen the seats OF the Montana
Senators, countedin Republicans in Rhode
Island and New Hampshire The same
disease affected Congress in passing the
Mckinley bill. in urging the Force bill
and in counting out Democrats who were
elected, to increase the Republican ma
iority by men who were not elected, and
in receiving new states not competent &c
enter the Union 1t Is an indisputable
fact that the Republican party is rotten
