The whirlwind of corruption which
swept through the public life of the
country following the civil war was a
theme of much discussion and moraliz-
ing for years, but it never obtained
such force or dimensions as to embrace
the indictment OF as many as three
senators of the United States in one
year, besides scores of public officers
including members of the house. The
present corruption in the republican
party exceeds that of the Credit Mo-
belier and whiskey ring times. Ac-
cording to the doctrine Of regularity"
there can not be anything done except
to vote 'er straight.
