To the Editor of the APPEAL, Sir
Mr.. Chandler, an Importation from
Chicago, spoke in the Opera House
Thursday evening, and undertook to tell
the glorious things which the Republl-
can party had done for the Nation, es-
pecially for the lahoring classes. He can |
probably make more misstateMents in a
given time than any professional prevar-
| icator that ever lived, yet he did not men !
ton 1.-THE of the political infamy, the
treason to the Republic, to the great mass
of working people in this country, to |
humanity, civilization and liberty, of
which that party has been guilty since
! the death Of Lincoln. For wholesale po-
litical corruption. for dishonest jobbery,
for venality and class legislation, it
stands without a parallel in the history
Of political parties, or in the history Of
despotic rulers.
by their fruits ye shall know Them"
What are the fruits of the Republican
party?
For twenty years after the close of the
civil war it waved the bloody shirt and
kept alive the smouldering embers of
sectional hate. For twenty years it
branded as copperheads, traitors and
rebels all citizens, North and South, who
refused to vote the Republican ticket or
who complained of vicious class legis-
lation. For twenty years it treated brave
men who laid down their arms and ac-
! co;t ho Of no
war; AS it is now treating the people of
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines,
and thus delayed the reunion of North
! and South. For twenty years it dis
franchised white citizens of the South
by keeping United States Deputy Mar
shals at the polls to intimidate voters not
partial to Republican rule. For forty
years il has maintained the most unjust
and stupendous system of taxation and
robbery ever known on this planet.
That system. that crushing tariff, that
browning infamy of class legislation
was tho prolific parent of every trust that
has since robbed the people and dis
graced the Nation. Some of these may
be mentioned farther on. That system
e of legalzed robbery and plumber en-
u riched the few, impoverished the many
and reduced to state of absolute vas
salage the toiling millions of the land
: And all this under the hypocritical pre-
II tense of protecting home industries.
