The promised article giving whatI
this paper said on the assassination OF |
President Lincoln may be found else
where. A reading of twill show thatI
the Times statement of last week is
short on truth but long, very long, as
usual, on it's opposite. Unlike the
Times this paper has never counte-
nanced mob law and'yiolence, as it has
in behalf of cause itinyariably votes
against, prohibition. Unlike the
Times it has never canonized such
murderers as old John Brown nor ap-
polgized for such political murderers
as the assassins of the Governor OF
Kentucky. All of that kind of work
it leaves to the sanity hypocrites who
edit the Times. In reading the article
to which this refers the reader will
see that troubles for the South were
feared as the result of the wicked deed
of assassination. All these calam-
tiles came. The south failed to get
out out of the Union through war was
voted out of the union by congress.
Then came the period of reconstruc.
the north, Iowa furnishing one fol
Florida, with members of the various
legislatures were spawned upon them
as thickly as the frogs and lice that
cursed Egypt. Then began a system
of spoilation that has never been
equalled. Railroads were projected
everywhere and none built, though
bonds, county and state were issued
and sold the proceeds carried away,
thus leaving every southern state
bonded with millions of debt and
nothing to show for it. Missouri thus
had a debt of 40-million dollars, Geor-
gia like sum, and other states in like
manner, and these are the facts that
have made s'solid south. z"
