Year: 1879

Perhaps Messrs Baker & Baker are not
aware however that if the Judges OF the Su-
preme Court had issued mandamus against
the Governor and Council that body would
have taken no more notice OF II than manda-
mns issued by seven Jackasses i'll Australia.
The Supreme Court is a very august body but
it has no more power over the Governor than
the ghost of Solomon. The Supreme Court
headed by Baker s. Baker and backed by
Blaine might send posse OF constables to ar
rest the Governor and Council Then the
Governor might call out the militia, put Au-
Gusta and the State for that matter, under
martial law, arrest every constacle, and the
judges too, and this would be the end OF their
mandamus. I


Then, when our friend Hamlin says he
"von't stand it, what will he do? marshal
the political office holders, buns, postmasters
and the grave yards. forgetting that the Gov
ernor is backed by the farmers, operatives :,
train managers, locomotive hremen, engineers,
brakemen, gravel train workers, and ten thous-
and wild Irishmen, already mad on account OF
Ireland's oppression, who fight as pastime-
all Democrats and Greenbackers. While crow
ing over the bulldozing operation OF the Su-
preme Court and how the Governor and Coun-
Gil 'have backed down." our Repuohcan
friends forget that the Governor has power TO
convene the Greenback Legislature elected
last year, and the Legislature has power to i'm
peach every Judge on the Bench, and that
Garcelon is not the man who would hesitate to
do any more than jackson hesitated to remove
the old deposits from the u 5. Bank.


The time has come in the history of our coun-
try when politics are reduced TO an aosolute
science The sharpest meu enter TINS held,
and those who cheat most succeed BEST


The above beautiful extract is from the
Grcenback Chronicle of the 9th of this month.
Its editor is awful Fogg, the wild-eyed ass of
the Androscoggin 1t will be seen that he
glories in his rascality and lays claim to the
ability of his fellow rascals to carry out the
scheme of Pillsbury, Dana & Co. by appeals
to the mob spirit of his party.


1 have contended strenuously that the only
difference between Henry j. Gully and Pills
bury &; Co. was that the latter have more We
neering upon them than the former, but the
core is Just the same The tactics of the DEM
ocratc party would be the same here as in
Mississippi if the Republican party was COM
posed of the same material. 1t not being so,
however, the Gullys of this State resort to
thieving and rely upon the mob to carry out
their larceny. warn the gentlemen who are
chuckling over the prospect of profiting by this
rascality that the staid, honest people of this
State have long since classed the receiver Of
stolen property in the same category as the
thief We hope the Republicans in this State
and elsewhere VIII place these men IN the pill
lory of infamy Let us treat them socially and
in business matters as moral lepers for any
man who will condone such piece of rascality
should be summed. If this course is pursued
and these mems names kept in large type In
conspicuous place in the columns OF our papers
throughout the State, our people VIII never
hear of another such attempt and the perform
ance will be an expensive one to the parties
engaged in it.


Take our city for an example: we pay one
seventh of the State tax; our valuation is fixed
this winter for ten years; and by this operation
we have no voice in the matter. We hope our
Republican business men will mark these men;
YES, brand them. There is one thing these
scainps will find out, and that is it has decided
the question of the Presidency and that to
their cost. The Tribune of "Wednesday last
has no uncertain sound upon that question,
and has served noteeupon the. Pillsburys and
Danas of this State what they are to expect II
they persist in their steal. We have the
remedy and believe it will be applied.


REPUBLICAN.
