Revolutionary Character of New yor,
RepubIfcanism

Revolutionary Character of New yo-,-
RepubIicanism.
II the country ever doubted the reyo-
lutionary character of the republican
party. all doubts must now he cast
aside when viewing the present atti-
tude OF that party in the state of New
YORK. The temptation was tremen-
dous, perhaps irresistible, when bv rev.
oiutionary methods they overthrow the
Will OF the people and defrauded the
natlon OF Its legally elected president
IN 1876. That great wrong never can
De condoned. Nor can the people for
get how with despotic feet repu blican
senate trampled upon the rights of a
state just born into the union and shut
i.s doors against its legally elected
democratic senator's Nor will it for
get the wicked revolutionary methods
VI poltlcal car. strengthened and
sustained by republican majority of
an American house of representatives
VINO, rough shod, rode like a SQUADRON
Oh mailed roboerS over the constitu-
Iiohal rights OF minority and enacted
legislation which has enslaved the peo-
PIE ana SO impoverished the treasury
OF the country that its authorized mill
tary agents have been Obliged to sus-
pend work upon the Notifications of
New York city and discharge two hun
area workmen, with two months nav
due them for labor performed, notvith-
standing the fact that the Harrison adj
lnlnistration began its sway with
surplus of hundreds of millions in the
treasury.
The same revolutionary spirit now
seizes the party in the state of New
York. Having stipulated with the
democrats that all contests of the legis-
lature should be finally adjusted by the
court of appeals, the highest legal
tribunal of the state, and that they
would abide forever by said decision
the court having given judgment
against them-they now seek to over
ride the courts authority by methods
of the most revolutionary character
They have ruled the state SO long by
means OF a wicked Rerrymander they
are 10th to surrender, and hug the de-
lusive hope of preventing the demo
Gratis from correcting the evil by block
ing the organization of one branch of
the legislature by abssnting them
selves from its sessions. Having been
repudiated by the people by ajori-
~ u over HIIY bnOusanQ, ana every
Office of the state taken from them, as
well as the control of the legislature,
IN their desperate straits they resort to
the methods of robbers and would put
in motion the whirlwind of revolution.
First. appealing to what they agreed
was a non-partisan court, asserting
their entire willingness to abide the
result whatever it might might be. re-
lying, they alleged. upon the justice of
their cause, they endeavored to hood
wink the people into the belief they
would rule by the forms of law. Over
thrown by this high court of appeal,
they return to their natural level of
revolutionists and disorganizers.
The country may be assured. how
ever. that the legally elected and law
abiding democratic legislature will or
ganize each body in accordance with |
the forms of law, and in obedience to |
the viii of the majority, and. without |!
resorting to the imperious ways. nor
embracing the example and revolu- |
tionary methods of the billion-d ollar |
congress, proceed at once to inaugurate !
the reforms in legislation SO long in de-
mand.-Chicago Herald. !
