Show Those Congratulations. The bullotin of congratulations sent out by Chairman Salisbury, reads like that issued by the first Napoleon after Austorlltz. Some of its paragraphs are striking. As, for, instance, that which speaks for "those loyal people who have never deserted the grand old party.'.' That is not only striking but touching. That no doubt meant the true and tried Republicans who for ten years past have claimed to bo Democrats just for the purpose of fooling such men as Judge Powers and Chairman Cunningham; kept them as "food for powder, food for powder, as fit to fill a pit as better men." "Those loyal Republicans who are always Republicans" Re-publicans" is good. Did that mean such old hide-bound hide-bound Bishops as have always been Demociats until this year and this year "saw things in a different light?" A victory wrought in shame through dishonor, through broken faith, through practically endorsing en-dorsing what the first Republican National platform plat-form declared was a relic of barbarism; through taking the right hand of fellowship with a chief of a band of slaves, one who robs widows, who speaks for the degradation of women and Hie shame of children; to owe an election to the favor of such an one and the work of his slaves, and to do it in the name of the grand old Republican party. Great God! |
