POLITICAL.
Why Should Republicans Support the
Democratic Ticket.
We copy from the Free Press of
last week the following sensible words
from Joshua:
“For several years past I have no
ticed the status of the colored voters,
religiously and politically, and have
promised to call special attention to
the subject through the press.
No poison can be surprised to see
the solored people affiliate, political
ly, with republicans, when they re
flect for a moment that all the polit
ical information they have, has been
derived from republican sources.
The fact that republicans claim now
to have suppressed the rebellion in
the interest of emancipation, invests
that party with a prestige and moral
power difficult to be resisted or disre
garded on thescore of gratitude. To
have acted otherwise would not have
been in keeping with the instincts of
humanity.
But, do not farties change? Do
not men change their policy as cir
cumstanceschange?This change of pol
icy and party platforms are not neces
sarily inconsistent with integrity of
principle, in all case?, by no means.
To properly understand the genius
of our political institutions, cannot
be accomplished in a day ; nor from
a partizan standpoint. lie that would
honestly know the cardinal issues
that have characterized the history
of parties since 1787, when the federal
constitution was formed, will have
to dig deeper for bottom facts and
fundamental principles, than can be
learned from a partizan press. Here
lies the great trouble with the color
ed voter. lie neither receives nor
cares to investigate any political fact,
theory or principle, that is tendered
by any person or party, other than
the republican; and when this an
nounced by a republican of respect
able standing, they receive it abso
lutely, with the credulity of a child,
and without even a question as to its
correctness. This want of inqu Iry on
the part of the colored voter is attrib
utable to a distrust of those with
whom he resides, in consideration of
former relationships, and the con
stant reminders by the republican
press of their ante helium condition
of servitude.
That the colored people should feel
grateful to those who emancipated
them is both natural and reasonable.
But the colored voter is under a de
lusion as to who did procure his
emancipation and aro to-day his best
friends. To this statement colored
voters will no doubt smile in derision.
Let them listen to facts and figures.
The historical facts, to which I call
especial attention of colored voters,
will require two articles. The first
inquiry I shall make is, when was
the republican party formed, who
formed it, and what were the princi
ples then, os incorporated in its plat
form ?
The republican party was formed
in 1856, essentially upon the slav
ery issue, which was then paramount.
This party was composed of whigs
and democrats, for, prior to that pe
riod there were no other parties, save
the know-nothings. The principles
set forth by this new party in 1856,
were these, viz: opposition to the
repeal of the Missouri compromise;
to the extensiou of slavery into free
territories; iu favor of admitting
Kansas as a free state; of restoring
the action of the federal government
to the principles of Washington and
Jefferson, and that a railroad to the
Pacific ocean, by the most central
and practicable route is imperatively
demanded by the interest of the
whole country.” Who were con
spicuous members of this new party?
Steward, Greely, Sumner, Weller,
Adams, Blair, Palmer, Turnbull,
and a host of others. Those that are
alive are democrats, those that have
died left the party, because its mis
sion was accomplished by the war.
The war settled eternally the sub
jects of slavery iu ail its phases.
There is no Missouri compromise
now; lo issuo of free soil; Kansas
was admitted as a free state in ISGI,
and the Pacific railroad has been
completed for a number of years.
Sensible men quit the republican par
ty when it had finished its mission,
and commenced a war upon the con
stitution and tho principles long rec
ognized by Washington and Jeffer
son. But further: In IS6O the plat
form was substantially the same as
that of 1856, with these two resolu
tions: Fourth, that the maintenance
inviolate of the rights of the state,
and especially the right of each state
to order and control its own domes*
CAETEKSVILLE, GA., TI TUESDAY, OCTOBEE 14, 1880.
tic institutions according to its own
judgment exclusively, is essential to
that balance of power on which the
perfection and endurance of our po
litical faoric deoends; and we de
nounce the lawless invasion by arm
ed force of the soil of any state or
territory, no matter under what pre
text as among the greatest of crimes.
Sixth. That the people view with
alarm the reckless extravagance
which pervades every department cf
the federal government; that a re
turn to rigid economy, and account
ability is indispensable to arrest the
systematic plunder of the treasury by
partizans, while the recent startling
developments of fraud and corrup
tion at the federal metropolis show
that en entire change of administra
tion is imperatively demanded.
This fourth resolution was incorpo
rated in Mr, Lincoln’s inaugural ad
dress, Now, I ask every candid re
publican, white and colored, what
part of the platform of 1860 do you
advocate? The fourth is peculiarly
democratic, and republicans take pe
culiar delight in denouncing local
self-government, as little less than
treason. Need 1 ask what republic
cans meant by “restoring the gov
ernment to the principles of Wash
ington and Jefferson ? ” Why the
republican party wrote a prophetic
platform for tho democrats of 1880,
when they said, “the recent startling
developments of fraud and corrup
tion at the fedeial metropolis”
What was the ‘reckless extravagance’
denounced in 1860 ? The average ex
penses of Buchanan’s administration
was $65,000,000. The average ordi
nary expenses of Grant’s administra
tion, while the republicans had con
trol of every department, was $170,-
302,325. Read it all and strike, the
difference. Let Col. Akerman read
and comment upon it through the
press, if it be a misrepresentation.
“Reckless extravagance!” Was
anything, since the government was
founded, to bo compared to Grant’s
second term? Robeson had been
secretary nearly eight years, and
spent more than Sioo,GQO,OOO, when
Admiral Porter testified on Oath, be
fore a committee ot the house of rep
resentatives in 1876, that “our navy,
taken as a whole, is worth nothing,
and the sooner the country under*
stands that fact the better.” “Start
ling fraud ! ” Who ever read of a
greater “fraud” than that of 1876-7 ?
Fraud does not express the crime. It
is “among the gr alest of crimes.”
But, who suppressed the rebellion ?
Col. Akerman and all the republican
press and orators answer most em
phatically, “the republican party.”
Well, let figures speak. Mr. Lincoln
received, in 1860, 1,866,352 votes, all
being republicans. From official
documents, it appears that the whole
number of volunteers dining the
war was 2,678,967. 110 w could 1,866,
852 republicans send 2,678 967 men to
suppress the rebellion? The demo
cratic state of Missouri gave Lincoln
17,028 votes in 1860, and furnished
109,111 men to the war. Grant and
Logan were democratic generals. So
were Hancock and McClellan. Then
Dix Dickerson and Cass Douglass.
Had tho democrats favored the re
bellion it would have been a success,
for the republicans never could have
accomplished its suppression. Nor
is it true that republicans abolished
slavery. “Well” you answer, “who
did then?” Trumbull, a democrat 1
and now a candidate for governor of
Illinois, introduced the thirteenth
amendment in the senate in 1864,
when 16 democrats voted for it, and
without 13, it would have been lost.
Yet republican orators and the press
will continue to repeat, “We sup
pressed the rebellion and abolished
slavery, and as such, you should vote
for the party.”
The republican party clamors for a
free ballot, and complains that the
ballot is not free in the south. No
party, having possessson of the gov
ernment, ever attempted to interfere
with elections up to 1870. Tho fed
eral government had been in exist
ence 81 years and no complaint had
been heard of unfairness in elections.
Col. Akerman thinks and says, “No
man who has sense enough to get out
of a shower of rain can but under
stand the constitution on the subject
of regulating congressional elections.”
How can the election for congress
men be regulated by congress, when
electors for president takes place at
the same time, and not supervise
that also. Surely Col. Akerman will
not contend that congress has power
to regulate the election of president.
Admitting that congress has. the
right to regulate elections for con.
gressmen, it should be fairly doue.
Col. Akerman tells the colored voters
that there is but one issue between
the two parties: “Supervisions of elec
tions.” With his permission, I wifi
add one more, the great fraud of
1876-7. The people that want a free
ballot and fair count, will rebuke
that fraud by voting for Hancock,
and those who wish to perpetuate
power against 250,000 majority, by
fraud, bribery anti perjury, will vote
for Garfield. According to the pres
ent law, the two supervisors are of
different political parties; but what of
the deputy marshals? Who appoints
them? Why, the marshal appoints
as many deputy marshals as he
pleases for any city of 20,000 inhab
itants. The president appoints the
marshal, and the whole class is parti
san and have things their own way.
In 1878, there were 773 deputy mar
shals in Philadelphia, all republicans
ai $5 per day for ten days. John
Homewood, drunk, arrested voters
without cause; James Brown, convic
tql for illegal voting in 1872; Philip
Madden has been in prison twice,
a bad man,once for highway robbery
aid once for shooting a negro boy; E.
Baker locked up a legal voter; Flem
ing intimidated many democratic
voters; John G. Davenport arrested
2,600 naturalized voters prior to 1876,
because the clerks had failed to re
cord the papers correctly. Subse
quent trials showed the papers were
all right. What think you of such
regulations when an order from the
war department placed the army un
der MeDowel at Davenport’s dis
posal? Joshua.
BEFORE THE NOMINATION.
Hancock’s Reluctance to be Spoken of
as a Candidate.
New York, Oct. B.—The Herald
publL’es the following important
politicaidispatch: Indianapolis, Oct.
5. —OoloH‘l Blanton Duncan, who
recently arrived in this state, has
been placed in counties where Gen
eral Weaver spoke last week. He
has already applied a powerful anti
dote to Weaver's speech at Green -
Helen oxnosimr the latter’s alleged
duplicity in his alliance with the
radicals before an audience largelv
made up of the greenback candidate’s
former hearers. He goes this week
to Covington, thence to Marshal, Pu
laski and Cass counties. Col. Duncan
sends to your correspondent, with a
private note, the following letters
from General Hancock, never before
shown to anybody or published,
which, among other things, rather
effectually disproves tho statement,
widely circulated through the repub
lican press, that he (General Hancock)
had sought the nomination of
the green backers on a ticket with
General Butler.
The first letter is dated October 29,
1879, and is as follows:
“My Dear Colonel:—-I received to
day your favor of the 25th, and was
much interested in your resume of the
working of the political caldron. I
have always been of the opinion, and
am so still, that, until the democratic
party has disposed of the question as
to whether they would nominate
Mr. Tilden as a sequence of past
events, it was folly inside of that or
ganization to advance other candi
dates if their availability for the fu
ture was a question of importance or
of interest. I have no part in any
programme looking to the future,
j My name comes up through friends
and foes, possibly, yet I know of no
machinery in the interest of my nom
ination. It is about as it has always
been in that regard. I seem in public
opinion to be put forth as an expo
nent of certain poiiiical available
possibilities, and 1 would be better
pleased if permitted to pursue the
even tenor of my way untouched by
political excitement. I do not wish
to bo considered a chronic candidate,
for I know what that means when
the end comes. So my true friends
had better let the matter rest, or, if
not, let it drift.
“The next election is to be a mo
mentous one. What may come out
of it, good or bad, I do not know;
but I am certain that I cannot assist
in leading to a good result more cer
tainly than by following the quiet
course I have always endeavored to
pursue, ll I come in question in pol
ities it will have to be from the states
and tho people, and not from me. I
am very truly yours,
“Winfield S. Hancock.”
“Very singularly,” writes Colonel
Duncan, “therecame to me about the
same day a letter from one of the
most prominent greenbackers, whose
name and that of others concerned I
will not mention. They are at the
present time most active supporters
of Weaver in the plan to aid in the
election of Garfield. The letter was
marked ‘confidential.’ ”
“October 28,1879. —Colonel Blanton
Duncan—My Dear Sir: For some
time past and myself have
been talking over a plan to elect Gen
eral Hancock president ot the United
States. Our plan is that you write
to General Hancock, and if he re
sponds with the right views on the
financial and labor questions that we
then decide to call the national con
vention first, nominate Hancock for
president and some ex-confederate
for vice-president, and it will force
the democrats to meet and nominate
the same ticket. Your plan of call
ing both democratic and national
conventions the same day will not
work and will give a large element
of our party an excuse to say it was a
political trade, while my plan i3 one
that a large majority of our party
will endorse. I hope you will agree
on the plan and have a conference
with General Hancock on the sub
ject.”
“That letter,” continues Colonel
Duncan, “was forwarded by me,with
a recommendation to General Han
cock not to make any reply to it.
He, however, wrote to me as follows:
[confidential.]
“November 1, 1879. —My Dear
Colonel: Your note has been received
1 do not occupy the position of a po
litical candidate, to express any opin
ions. lam a soldier in tho federal
service, and my usefulness as such,
and as a commander, would be im
paired if I should take open grounds
in favor of the political views of any
party. If lam ever a candidate of
a party for civil office it will be on
the record I have made. I should
never make any bid for such office.
If I were nominated by a party I
would be governed by its platform,
or I would not accept the nomination.
Therefore, I shall pursue the even
tenor of my way, undisturbed by the
ambitions which pursuesome people.
I am, very truly, yours,
“Winfield 8. Han cook.”
GARFIELD’S COMING GRIEF.
The Trying Ordeal That Awaits Him
in the United States Senate.
[Washington Post.]
Next to the inauguration of Vice-
President William H. English, the
most attractive feature of the exer„
cises in the senate on the 4th of March
next will be connected with Senator
Garfield of Ohio, who will, on that
day, enter upon a term of six years
in a democratic senate. We do not
propose to exult over General Gar
field’s prospective defeat and disap
pointment. Asa man we have no
ungenerous sentiment towards him.
It is the good fortune that is coming
to the country in a democratic tri
umph, not the crushing blow that is
to fall on General Garfield, that
moves our exultation. After the of
ficial oath shall have been adminis
tered to Vice President English, in
the presence of all the cheif digni
taries of the nation and representa
tives from all foreign courts, General
James A. Garfield, with other sena
tors-elect, will be called up to the
vice-president’s desk to take the
oath. What must be his feelings at
that hour and in that presence!
Near him will be seated General
Hancock, waiting for the organiza
tion of the senate to be perfected, In
order to proceed to the east front of
the capital to be inaugurated as pres*
ident of the United States. It will
not be a cheerful thing for Senator
Garfield to remember that the man
whom he tried to have mustered out
of the army has won the prize for
which he strove so earnestly. It will
occur to Senator Garfield that the
whirligig of time is sure to avenge
the meanness of men and the wrongs
which they do or try to do. When
the grand procession is formed to
move to the east front, the new Ohio
senator may affect a cheerful mein
and step off with alacrity, but he
will feel as if he were marching to
his own funerel, for it will be the fu
nerel of his ambition. And when he
has settled into his new place, how
otten and how terribly he will be
wrought on by references to the
events of this campaign ! How many
times will he be reminded that the
weapons used against him were
forged in republican workshops! A
more unpleasant place for a defeated
presidential aspirant could not be
contrived by malicious ingenuity
than a seat in the senate with tie
leaders of the defeated factions, in
the persons of Conkling and Blaine,
for associates in that body. The
S. A. CUNNINGHAM.
Chicago fiftht will be fought over
again 100 times, and the man who
went there to help another and help
ed himself will not escape the sharp
est satire that masters in irony ctm
perpetrate. Day after day the voice
of Captain Bassett will be* heard in
the senate chamber announcing
“messages from the President of the
United States,” and year after year
General Garfield will be compelled
to see and hear the name of Winfield
S. Hancock appended to executive
papers. It may be an enviable
‘thing, under average circumstances,
to be an American senator, but Sen
ator Garfield will not be an object of
envy to anybody.
POLITICAL POWER OF THE
SOUTH.
The states “lately in rebellion”
have not that power which the re
publican orators attrioute to us, nei
ther in the democratic party at large,
in congressional caucus, nor in com
mittee room of congress. The dem
ocratic party is not a southern party.
At the north its vote in 187 G was
3,195,068 ; at the south it polled only
1,089,689 votes. Three-fourths of the
democratic party reside north of the
Potomac and the Ohio.
It is equally incorrect to say that
the north is solidly republican. That
section is by no means solid for or
overwhelmingly for the republican
party. The northern vote in 1876
was:
Repn bl c an a ,294,801
Democratic 3,195.069
All other votes 93,604
Republican majority 6,078
It is this slight majority of six
thousand vetes in a total poll of three
and one-half millions that Senator
Conkling speaks of as an ovewhelm
ing republican vote of the north.
In the great northern states which
produce so much of the wealth of tho
country, and that Mr. Conkling’s
basis of political power, we have the
following significant showing:
Democratic. Republican.
Connecticut 61.934 59.034
New York 521,949 489,207
New Jersey 112.962 103,517
Pennsylvania 366,158 384.122
Ohio . 323,182 330,698
Illinois wi mm
Total 1,861,412 1,852,821
Here are seven of the richest and
largest northern states giving a dem
ocratic majority in 1876 of over
8,000 votes.
It is charged that the south has
control of the democratic caucus in
the house. The truth is that the se
cedeng states have ninety-two of the
democratic members, whereas the
other slates have ninety-eight. It is
not a fact that the south does not or
cannot control the caucus, but it is a
fact that the democratic party in con
gress unlike the republicans, deny
the right of a caucus to dictate party
measures. The case of Senator Bay
ard and the silver bill is too recent
for any public apprehension of king
caucus within the ranks of the dem
ocratic party. Southern democrats
have never submitted to caucus dic
tation, and will never attempt to fas
ten such dictation upon a free and in
dependent party. It will be remem
bered that when a majority of the
caucus voted to refuse to pass the ap
propriation bills at the late session,
southern democrats like Lamar, Gor
don, Hampron, Stephens and Ran
som declined to be bound by the
vote. The fear is not from caucus
dictation at the hands of southern
democrats, but rather from the dic
tation of the republican party which
has invariab’y used the lash of the
caucus to dragoon into the lines men
who had “splinters of the constitu*
ti on sticking into their gizzards,’’ to
to use the expressive language of
caucus king Thad Stephens of old.—•

Senator Hill, of Georgia, addressed a
democratic meeting at Library Hall,
Jersey City, and, alluding to the
Fowler interview with General
Grant, said : “No southern man wilt
raise his voice against Grant. I have
the greatest respect for General
Grant. No southerner will ever for
get his grand and noble conduct at
the surrender. He was greater and
grander at Appmattox than any oth
er of his victories. His behavion on
that occasion will never pass from
our memories. If he had proved
himself as great a civillian, and had
riser, when president above party, he
would have had a strong southern
support. I certainly never shall
abuse him, but hi3 view’s of General
Hancock and of the southern people
are an error. If he has lound out
that Geueral Hancock is crazjvhe is
the only man who has made the
discovery.
