Republican Split in the Tenth.
For the Spt ctator.

|
The Republican split in this distric
is wider than is generally believed. Gu
attention was called to this fact by
recent editorial in your paper in whic
you stated in substance, that i'll treat
ment affected Republican as it affect
ed Democrat, and they who had beel
badly treated would not be as friendl.
to the party as before. This is surel.
true. How could men who have beer
kicked and cuffed about as the anti
Allen faction of the party in this dis
trict has, be expected to carry the ban
ner as before, how can they when theil
voices are hushed in the councils of tht
party be expected to supply the sinew'
war, or work in the political harness as
| they would have done had they been
treated with due consideration 1t is
| well to recall how the party got foot,
hold in Augusta especially, and in the
district generally. When the war closed
only few Republicans could be found
here, and they were body of disrepu-
table people who were willing to rob,
steal, abuse those who were in the Con
federate army. and incite negroes to
insult and humiliate their former mas
ters. This condition existed practical
ly unchanged for years, in fact until
the Grant and Greedy campaign. It
was then that Maj. Y Yost entered the
party and placed his paper, the Valley
Virginian, in line with the Republican
ideas of the campaign and threw the
force of his intellect and pen into the
upbuilding of Republican principles in
this section of the South. This was the
first leaven of respectability ever pour
ed into the lump, and it took new life,
and grew to size which alarmed the
Democrats, AMI to size which when
Malone undertook to capture the
State was SO formidable as to cause
him to ally himself with it at once. At
that day the Valley virginian was ad-
the ablest Republican paper
in the State, if not in the South, and it's
influence was felt far and near. The
Hon. Jacob Yost was the only Republi,
can in this district who could have
beaten Capt. Bumgardner and he was
the only one who could have beaten Mr..
Flood in the last campaign. 1t has been
by the force of these two men, Mai. |
Y ost and Hon. Jacob Yost, that the |
party has been built up and brought |
nto respectability in this district, and
It does seem suicidal now, when the
party has gotten to period in it's life
'f power and respectability, that those
Who gave it it's life, as it were, when it
would have died of neglect, and i'm
proper nourishment, should be driven
rom it's ranks or discountenanced by
he men who would have been unknown
o fame or fortune, but for the fact
hat the life of Republicanism was pre-
erved by the very men they now seek
o destroy. 1t is our belief that should
hose seeking exclusive control sue
eed, they will wreck the party and
ink it into oblivion and disgrace, by
tier and entire abandonment of prlnci-
lie, and by their inordinate greed for
flee and spoils.
