Republican Rascality Unveiled

It is most ludicrous to witness the assumed sanctimonious airswith which the Republican press and the resolutions of Republican Conventions, cali upon the people to keep in office and power the ravenous harpies and plunderers who had well-nigh bankrupted our government, and made it a by-word and a mockery among all honfist, minded Deople, until the nation had roused itself and placed a majority in both branches of Congress, and had elected a Democratie President who was stolen from them by the concentrated frauda of the expiring dynasty. . . , ,, Well may those political villams have dreaded the exposures that would followwhen the Democracy should come into power- no wonder they resorted to perjury, bribery and corruptions of the foulest dye, to cover up their crimes and to try and avoid the retributive justice that was sure to overtake them. Here is what the New ork Star says of the Congressional report made by Mr. Glover, chairman of the committee appointed to investígate the rascality of the Kepublican rogues: The document is a lene;thy one, but all who peruse it will readily appreciate why John Sherman and his radical confrères were so anxloua to smother it. It litts th roof off the Treasurythe flrsttimein twenty years. It shows that the swindling Bureau of Engraving and Printing has absorbed $27.000,000 of pubho money, the greater part of which was wasted or 8 Itshows that interest on Uuited States bonds lias beenfraudulently collected tor years by an outside Ring operating in oollusion withTreasury employés. Itshows that thethieves were protected and shielded by Treasurer Wyman and other high officia's. Everv rascal whose crimes torced him out of office received a more lucrativo berv.h abroad. It directly implicates John Sherman, who not only perpetuated thecorruption he found before him, tmtmuliplied it lor the purpose of rewarding partisan (.arVices_so, for instanoe, when he altered the Custom regulations on our Canadian frontier and ruined hundreds of merchants, solely for the sake of increasing the lees of a Republican Senator's proTlie Glover report demonstrates that the Federal Secret Service Bureau isa siuk of rottenness and black-mail, in which no honest man can attempt to perform his duty withoutincurring the penaltv f certain dismisaal. It incidentally examines the Bouthorn cotton seizures, andldetails how Hou. William E. Chandler, having secured f uil list of these cotton claims, was enbled to resign liis position ot Assistant ecretary of the Treasury and step at nee into a "law practico" worth l,000,DO But tbe most startling disclosures of he entire report refer to the Mints and ,othe Bureau of EngravingandPrinting. Sveiybody on the Paciflc coast knows ïow Linderman puffed the Bonanza mines into official raporw and made a ortuue of the swindle. But it ta not so well known that as much as $1,000,000 In excesa of the authorized volume of c.urrency has been afloat at one time. This and any other over-issues, as well as déficits in various departments, have been eoncealed under false eutries and forced balances in the Treasury books. On the whole, a more scandalous exhibit of jobbery and robbery has never been presented to any civilized nation. The charges are almost too startling for credence, but they are none the loss trae, lt is humiliating to us as a people that such thievery has been so long tolerated, but it would be unspeakably infamous to cloak or condone it. He w to the line, let the chips fall where they may.
