Some Pertinent Observations By q
Thinking Man.


What is the matter with the situation ?
Why is it our friends the enemy are try
ing to excite the mob spirit and are way
ing the bloody shirt so vigorously2 DO
they see the Handwriting on the wall 20
They tell us they gave us a govern
ment under which to live We know we
had government full many years be-
fore this q. O. p. was ever dreamed Of.
True they had proclaimed it "a league
with hell and a covenant with death, f"
because it allowed slavery of the bhck
race in a section thereof. True they
were slaves of masters then who in some
cases may have been tyrannical, but
generally recognized the fact that his in
terest was identified with the negro's be-
ing well fed. Now the negro is made
the slave of a party who have no interest
in him except his vote, and socially are
more ready TO ostracise him than the old
masters.
We are told they Saved the Union, -
Would the union ever have been in dan
ger, had they never said "let the union
slide"
Had ii been announced, as now claim.
ed, that the war was republican wal
would the many illustrious names now
Clellan, Hancock, Rosecrans and others
been known to fame?
They claim all the patriotism, but il
takes a vast amount OF money now to
keep up the fire.
Let us look at the situation calmly. II
may be well to consider what we were
and what we are, also what we may
soon be- Once we had "life, liberty and
. IS f,i,
were pledged our tires, our FORTUNES
and our sacred HONOR
Now we have minority rule and the
the right to pay taxes-for which are
pledged all the fat that can be fried out
of protected monopolies.
We say minority rule, because in the
three or four elections the vast popular
majority being on our side, Garfield s
pitiful 5000 in a 100000 vote, being
the exception, and when we consider
the proportion ofthis vote that is cast by
the party slaves of colored voters, pro-
tected Industries and colonized, we are
constrained TO ask chow long, oh Lord,
how long?"
But as If this were not enough we are
told that certain badges must not be
worn, and that mob law, and not the
guaranteed rights OF intelligent freemen
will henceforth be enforced. Possibly
such may be, but at the same time IL
may be well to consider that the false
pretences that were palmed off on the
American people once in the heat of ex-
cited passion, may not succeed so we'll
again.
We have circular sheet mailed us,
such as would be contraband If put forth
by democrats. 1t says wool ought to be
protected same as other articles, signed
Andrew Jackson. The said article was
mailed at Fairmont and we thought OF
the good "all wool and yard wide"
cashmere we used to get at GAINESVILLE,
and now thing of the past and we in
stinctively said, Amen For, since the
passage of the Mckinley bill that goods
seems to have ''gone where the wood
bine twineth."
Talk about protecting American indus
tries Why not protect the farmer who is
a consumer as well as producer, and who
is compelled to labor night and day to
pay his tax, taxed on everything from the
aceoucheur Of his infantile advent TO the
undertaken returns him to mother earth.
Well it is not convenient for Sunday
school superintendent to get $500, 900
from him to use to prevent the majority
ruling, so we will protect him He is a
hayseeder anyhow and we only see vir-
tue now in free Americans Of African
descent.
The means may be one, the end is an
other. No difference now so Elkins
wins. Just where or how the legislature
is secured, when our courts are not held
or the dockets go "over," because Of
the fact that eve think it is hardly safe
TO risk the scales of justice in a jury's
hands in times of political excitement,we
are compelled to ask the question as to
who is responsible for the situation
party who believe.public office is pub
lie trust, or the party who are threaten
ing to prevent that which the patriot
sires of '76 pledged their fortunes and
their sacred honor"
1t was Gen. Grant who said: Let us
have peace" but those who pretend to
be his disciples now seem TO wish to re-
vive all the worst passions of the people
and perpetuate the issues inimical to
peace and prosperity.
