To talk of republican freedom and then to discharge dis-charge men from their employment, uo matter how efficient they may be, is one of the republican anomalies of the aj;e. U is admitted that these men were adherents of the party in power, but bec-iu-e they would not sustain a T certain wing of that party, they are thrut out of employment aud ordered to .-eek LiKr elewhere. We have no reaon to taunt lritih ljudlords and capitalists with coercing votes by threats-of threats-of robbing thor-e who will not uxeivl-e . the suffrage at their bidding of em- . ploymont. while all democratic-repub lican i.-m is thus openly disregarded and denVJ. No wonder the e.-mes ' bark to u in uiuiiMverable form. "'To ilxc vie;..f; belong the .-p-iL-" is a moii-trous dix-triue in politics at the be.-t; but I III- is the qultit-e.-?enee of "one man-power"' which divides the spoils only anion;: th? ,:ivi-n. pMs of he victors. |
