NoTHING succeeds like success. That
Is practically the meaning Of the compli-
mentsry reception Senator Bill got from
his colleagues Of the Senate. For years
Democrats have been too fair or too
timi5. The Democrats Of the South
after witnessing the behavior and learn
ing the intentions, cali5re and cowardlce
Of the Republicans during the reconstruc-
tion era and the reign Of the carpet bag
ger, determined that they must be
dealt with summarily. The people
OF the South could not endure the ma
chinRtion Of the insolent carpet Dagger
and his alliance with the negro, hence
they either suppressed him or drove him
away. But the people OF the North have
been submitting TO the political methods
Of the carpet bagger's brother almost
without murmur. They allowed him
to steal the Presidency for Hayes against
a popular majority Of 10000 votes; al
lowed New York and Ohio to be gerry
wandered into the Republican party they
have witnessed the downright purchase u
Indiana, the stealing Of Montana, and the
suppression Of Rhode Islands vote with
apparently little concern. The people Of
the North, including the Democrats, sub
mtted to the rules By which Reed 8
Billion Dollar House counted In and
counted out members to pass the Nc
Kinley and the Force bills. When the
Democrats referred to these things as
unfair the Republicans hooted at them.
Now Hi.l comes, takes in the 81 ~uation
and beats the cowardly crew of tariff
pension and subsidy robbers. Hill is q
revelation to the Northern Democrats.
