The hEHU BLAOAN"As L. - ~
The evidence accumulates that the
Republican leaders are hand in glove
with the A. P. AS. In the first place.
Republican platforms and Republican
orators, with rare exceptions, fall to
say a word OF condemnation OF the
dark lantern gentlemen, while the re-
verse is uniformly the case with the
Democrats. In Kansas and other States
the A. P. AS have dictated Republican
nominations wholesale.
Whenever the searcb-light OF investi-
CATION has been turned on, the Repuo-
licans and A. P. AS. like guilty sweet
hearts Unexpectedly disturbed, move
away from one another and try to look
innocent and unconscious, but they de-
ceiye no shrewd observer. In the
North and West the gang who have
sworn to ostracise a large proportion
of the citizens Of the United States and
even prevent them from earning their
bread, have been overheard to say that
they hope to gain their ends through
the Republican party, and that it is no
use to approach the Democrats.
The National Republican Campaign
Committee has been convicted OF
spreading broadcast by the million, A.
p. A. documents Of the vilest KIDD. Ten
millions Of people have been grossly in
suited, and no Republican Of note, ex-
cept KERENs and Gen. TRACY, who
were almost kicked out Of the respec-
tive Republican conventions of Missouri
and New York, fOt their pains, has yet
had the manhood i raise even a finger
in condemnation. And, indeed, how can
they be expected to do so, when they
hope to be the benefciaries OF these
unmanly tactics. When and whore did
ELKINs, DAYTON, DovENER, or any man
on the Republican Senatorial or county
ticket condemn the A. 2. A?
OF course there are some few excep-
tions to these sweeping statements, as
in Michigan, for instance, and there are,
too, many honorable Republicans who
hang their heads In shame at the depths
OF degradation to which the leaders OF
the party Of LINCOLN and GRANT have
descended, but these represent merely
the little back currents and temporary
cross eddss in the mighty sweep OF
great black flowing river.
Turning In particular to this dis
trict, the evidence of the co-partner-
snip existing between the Republicans
and the A. p. A. is overwhelming and
indisputable When the miserable
alleged eX-Priest RUDOLPH, who con-
iessed that for great part OF his life
he had been a hypocrite, was brought
here to belch forth his obscenity, he, an
avowed A. p. A., was introduced to the
audience by Republican, esder, and all
on the platform with him were Of the
SdU6 pOllblCdl dlNus uOA VI VIZ
local branch of the A. p. A. appeared
on the stump at Republican gathering
no later than Tuesday evening. Not
only did no Democrat aid and abet the
ex-priest, but no fool big enough to
dream of so charging any Democrat,
can be found in this city. The A. P,
As and Republican workers are seen
going and returning together, to and
from Republican meetings, They ar
range states, and to all intents and pur-
poses act as unit
These facts are gradually but surely
becoming apparent to all, especially to
that daily increasing class Of voters,
who vote according to their consciences
and their manhood, and it goes a con-
siderable way toward explaining the
growing apathy and disgust of many
Republicans and the Frightening pros
poets of the Democratic candidates.
