AMERICAN POLITICAL PARTIES
BT SON. JESSE 21A.CT.

fttteny important questions came before
the country during Grant's first term
"which had. to do -with party divisions at
the election of 1872. They arose largely,
though not it-holly, from the difficulties
created by the wax. In his dealing -with
tre jextraordinarv conditions existing n
h country. General Grant had shown
that soldierly firmness, directness and
slrrrSe common sense which was char
acteristic of our other soldier Presidents.
His personal Integrity was unquestioned,
as was hlB honest purpose to promote pur
ity and efficiency In all departments of
the Government. But he lacked, as many
successful military leaders have lacked,
the qualities necessary for wise civil ad
ministration, Tinder the more ordinary
circumstances of his second term, when
he became the victim of his Inability to
make judicious use of political advisers
and subordinates.
The Southern Queation.
The Congressional policy of reconstruc
tion adopted in 1G7 paved tho -way for
endless abuses and wholesale corruption
In the chaotic South. Full political privi
leges were conferred npon the nenrces by
tho 14th and 15th amendments, while tho
most able and Influential -white men were
debarred from them. Then set in the
period of "carpet-bag" rule of unsavory
memory. It is but simple Justice to say
that many of the carpet-baggers were up
right, honest, self-sacrificing and able
men, sincerely desirous of aiding their
country and fellow-citizens in an unprece
dented and most difficult crisis. Unhap
pily, it is another class whose evil courses
have made that era a hissing and a by
word. Unscrupulous and greedy adven
turers from the North made haste to
improve ths unique opportunity. They
quickly placed themselves at the head of
the -dazed and Incompetent blacks, who
became an easy prey; they filled the prin
cipal offices and pocketed mosf of the
plunder from the heavy taxes and huge
state debts which their methods fostered.
In somo of the states, under this dis
graceful leadership, protected by Federal
military power, the negro majorities
gained full control, while in others the
-white voters were able to soon restore
white supremacy. The situation led inev
itably to fraud and violence, and the ex
asperation of the Southern people was ex
treme. In certain districts the elections
became sometimes mere carnivals of
crime, the powers of the Federal Gov
ernment being used in the most unblush
ing partisan manner, while the opposite
party responded with artful Intimidation
of their former slaves and skillful use of
their superior knowledge and power. Es
pecially obnoxious to the South were the
Congressional acts of 3870 and 1B7L com
monly called the force bills. Imposing
harsh penalties for any Interference with
the negro franchise, and tho Ku-Klux
movement was a sort of retaliation to
those measures. The more violent phase
of the agitation, however, died down ere
long, and the general amnesty act of 1S72
aided the approach of more quiet condi
tions. Various Judicious mollifying de
cisions of tho Supreme Court helped to
clarify the -views and temper the pas
sions of all parties. The people came
slowly back to their senses. But the long
and serious strain upon tho Constitutional
principles of our Government did not end
until those principles had been subjected
to the supreme test of tho year 1S7C.
The last of the states to be readmitted
fulfilled the required conditions In July,
2F70, and reconstruction was complete; but
the Southern question was far from being
Bottled, and the several National conven
tions of 1S72 all pronounced upon the
problem. From that time on. however,
party readjustments took place without
inuch reference to Southern affairs.
Financial Questions.
The creation of National banks under
Fedoral law In 1SC3-4 was one of tho war
measures of the Government. The orig
inal purpose was to create a market for
the Government bonds. The system
proved successful, and National bank
notes soon supplanted all others. As a
U. S. Grant.
party measure, it was, however, sub
jected to constant criticism by the oppo
sition, as was the Issue of a full legal
tender paper currency yet earlier.
The Republican party committed Itself
n 1S69 to the speedy resumption of speclo
payments, and alo to the payment In
coin of the interest-bearing bonds of the
Government. Opposition to the National
hanla has nevor fullv died out, and In
the campaign of 1S72 the resumption pol
icy cf tho party and tho too rapid re
duction of tbe National debt were also
eubjected to criticism.
Annexation of San Dominpo.
General Grant had strongly urged tho
annexation of the negro republic of San
Domtnro and had labored with all his
powers to create a public sentiment In
favor of the scheme. Thoush the pro
ject had "been abandoned because of the
opposition of the Senate, yet In pushing
the matter with unwise insistence the
President had alienated two of his
Btrongest party leaders Sumner and
Greeley whose influence greatly helped
tho opposition In his second canvass.
Civil Service Reform.
The stupendous evils resulting from the
acceptance by both parties since the time
of Jackson of the "spoils" system In po
litical administration had by this time
become "so apparont that serious uneasi
ness was felt- The long tenure of power
In the Rppubllean party had developed
those evils to such scandalous proportions
as had never before been known. Gen
eral Grant heartily favored legal regula
tion of admissions to the civil service,
and the first civil service reform act was
passed in 1S71. But so deep-seated was
the evil, and so unfortunate was the
President In his choice of porsons--fo as
tdet him In his praiseworthy efforts that
the oclum fastened upon the party and
the Administration was such as to dls-r-ust
and alienate many of their sup
porters. The Tariff.
The groat Increase In tariff duties made
during the war was now filling the
United States Treasury to overflowing,
and an embarrassing surplus was accu
mulating. A widespread demand for tar
iff reform spread over the land, being par
ticularly strong in tho "West, whose ag
ricultural population had failed to derivje
from the high wax duties a fair share
of advantage. In that part of tho coun
try party lines were threatening to dis
appear as the tariff question gained prom
inence. In si! the platforms of the nu
merous parties or factions holding con
ventions in 1S72 some reference Is made
to the acslred regulation of duties.
"Liberal" Republican Convention.
The terdeney toward a corrlnatlon of
CAMPAIGN OF 1872
Seymour Eaton.)
DIRECTED BY PROF- SEYMOUR EATON
the several elements opposed to Grant
was first manifest In Missouri as early
as 1S70, and from that state came the
proposition for a National convention of
those Republicans calling themselves "lib
eral" to nominate a Presidential ticket.
A movement tending to divide the Dem
ocratic party appeared about the same
time in Ohio, and by the time the liberal
Republican convention met a large pro
portion of the National Democratic party
was ready to Join with them to defeat
Grant.
The convention, which met In Cincin
nati in Hay, was really a mass meeting,
having no regular party organization. A
long platform was adopted arraigning the
Administration In scathing terms for wan
tonly seeking to destroy the fundamental
principles of Constitutional government,
and charging the President in person with
partisan corruption and the prostitution
of his official power to personal ends. It
pledged the party to maintain the Union
and to accept the results of the war; de
manded universal amnesty, restoration of
tho writ of habeas corpus, thorough civil
service reform, maintenance of the pub-
lie credit and speedy return to specie
payments. A majority of the convention
were pronounced freetraders, but they
were persuaded to yield that principle to
the necessity for uniting all the forces
of opposition to Grant, and a resolution
framed by the great protectionist, Gree
ley, was accordingly passed with reluct
ance, and on the sixth ballot Greeley
was nominated for President. B. Gratz
Brown, of Missouri, was made candidate
for Vice-President.
"Reimlar" Republican Convention.
Grant was nominated rby acclamation
by the National Republican Convention at
Philadelphia, and Henry Wilson was
nominated for Vice-President on the first
ballot. The platform gave much space
to vaunting the achievements of the
glorious party during Its 11 years of su
premacy. It demanded complete liberty
and exact equality In civil and political
rights for all men, Irrespective of race,
color, creed or previous cdndltion of servi
tude; approved civil service reform; fa-:
vored a well-regulated protective tariff,
suppression of disturbances in tho South
and protection of the ballot box; sup
ported the amnesty act, and deprecated
unconstitutional lnterferenco with the
reserved rights of the people.
"Regular" Democratic Convention.
Eighteen state Democratic conventions
met before the assembling of the Na
tional convention at Baltimore and In
structed their delegates to indorse the
platform and candidates of the Cincinnati
convention. It was accordingly done,
though not without some strongly ex
pressed opposition and much more that
was silent.
'Straight" Democratic Convention.
The great dissatisfaction among tho
Democrats with the action of their party
members In the Cincinnati and Baltimore
conventions led to still another conven
tion, called at Louisville, Ky. It met In
September, with a large attendance. The
platform adopted exalted the state in tho
extreme states-rights fashion; set forth
Constitutional -views of the strictest con
struction type; repudiated the Baltimore
convention; and declared In favor of tar
lffl for, revenue only. The candidates
were Charles O'Conor, of New York, and
John Qulncy Adams, of Massachusetts.
Both gentlemen declined the honors
thrust upon them, but they nevertheless
received some 30.000 votes.
Minor Conventions.
Tho labor reformers held the first con
vention of the year at Columbus, O., In
February. Their platform was an Im
posing document. It set forth the duty
of the Government to provide "a purely
National circulating medium, based on
the faith nnd resources of the Nation. Is
sued directly to the people without tho
Intervention of any system of banking
corporations," such money to be full legal
tender for all debts. It called for modifi
cation of the tariff, for an eight-hour
working day, for civil service reform and
a ono-term Presidency. David Davis, of
Illinois, and Joel Parker, of New Jersey,
wero nominated, but in June both with
drew. The Prohibitionists also choso candi
datesJudge Black, of Pennsylvania, and
John Russell, of Michigan and put forth
a lengthy statement of views, making
legislative prohibition of the sale of In
toxicating drinks tho leading principle.
The Election.
Though the final result was never really
in doubt, a somewhat exciting campaign
too"k place. Mr. Greeley had done long
and worthy service for his party, and
many were grieved at his defection. He
carried through an energetic canvass,
taking the unusual step of mailing a
series of stump speeches himself. His
death before the meeting of the electors
was believed to be due 4.0 his heartbroken
disappointment at the result of the popu
lar election. Tho regular Republican
ticket won with a large increase of the
popular vote, due largely to the disor
ganization in the Democratic party. That
party had now reached its lowest ebb
and seemed on the point of going Irre
trievably to pieces.
Conflict of State Governments.
Tho count of the electoral votes In
February, 1S73, gave rise to many disputed
questions, the most important of which
were those pertaining to tho Slate of
Louisiana. Political quarrels there had
brought about the formation of two re

THE AKRON EPISODE.
Relation Between the Bryantte Dem
ocracy and Mob Law.
PORTLAND, AugTli. CTo the Editor.)
Recent phenomena in the way of race
riots in Northern cities afford material
for a timely editorial In this morning's
Issue of your paper. You wish to know
the meaning of these strange things
which have come to pass,and with a
commendable spirit you set your mind to
work thinking out the reasons therefor
and the causes thereof. Proceeding to dig
down for the root of the trouble, you hold
as utterly untenable the suggested notion
of a possible miscarriage of Justice by
the screening of the negro offender before
a lawful tribunal. Nor will the usual
explanation of such occurrences In the
Southern States do In the cases of North
ern riots. The outbreak at Akron you
find to be as wanton as the one In New
York is unreasoning and baseless. These
ate not labor riots. Nor, again, can wo
take refuge In the reaXJy excuse that has
often served us under similar circum
stances It will not apply. Wo cannot
charge these offenses up to the foreign
ers. No. At length we must put these
Pharisaisms by. Tho New York and
Akron mobs are to the "manner" born.
Where, then, Is the breeding ground of
this monster which has lately shown its
ugly head? Verily, 'tis a pusszle. But,
aha! You have it. 'TIs the foul fiend
known as the Chicago platform. A plague
upon It 'tis always up to mischief! Down
with It, and stamp upon It! Let us have
less liberty and more law, less palaver
and more discipline, less sentlnrcntallsm
and moro executions. Such Is your-prescription
after a careful diagnosis of this
case of painful disorder In the body pol
itic However, you offer it simply aB
"one remedy," leaving the Inference that
there are others. Now, allow me, if you
please, to try a hand at this case my
self. I freely confess that I am a young
er and less experienced doctor than your
self, but I claim to belong to a different
and perhaps sounder school.
There are some elements In the case
which seem to have entirely escaped your
professional eye.
First These Northern race riots are
the growth of the last year or two.
Second One of the two under, consid
eration occurred In New York, the home
of the "strenuous life." The other oc
curred In Ohio, the home of "benevolent
assimilation,"
Third Press reports state that most of
the rioters wero young men or boys.
Now, hasn't thero been a certain Teddy
going about the country, blustering and
swaggering, and roughly telling tho young
men that It Is a noble thing to fight for
the mere sake of fighting? Did no't this
same Teddy In a magaaine article boast
of having shot a Spaniard In the back
while tho latter was fleeing from the
field? Did. he not write to a committing
magistrate in New York commending that
official for having summarily discharged
two boys brought before him on a charge
of fighting? And was he not the first
Governor of a Northern State to attempt
'n public speech a Justification of the
lawless act of "Governor" Taylor and
his associates In bringing, armed mobs
to the capital of Kentucky to prevent the
legally constituted and elected Legisla
ture from assembling? And this man hath
become a god! 'Tis even so. And thus
has the strenuous lifo been nourished and
fed among the youth of. the land until it
has festered and broken out Jn ugly
sores upon the body politic at Akron
near Canton and New York City. Tho
remedy Is obvious. A return to the tra
ditional American view of the soldier.
Let us teach our boys, as In tho past,
that they should ever be ready to de
fend their country. If need be, to the
extent of sacrificing their lives; that It
Is the part of the patriot to fight for
sacred principle, but that of the bully
to fight for the mere sake of fighting.
We need less bluster and more sense;
less commercialism and more genuine pa
triotism; less talk about "hauling down
the flag," and more comprehension of
what the flag stands for.
The men who are responsible for the
nihilistic mischief in this country these
two years by their policy of militarism
and Imperialism, under tho disguise of
"strenuous life" and "benevolent assimi
lation," must be run to earth and buried
beyond hope of resuscitation. The first
fruits of their sowing are seen at home In
the New York and Akron atrooltlP3. Those
who believe in the fundamental princi
ples of our government will see the point
and bo governed accordlnglv.
ROBERT J. O'NEIL.
This Is flippant and trifling, though spe
cious, and merely partisan, and intended
to be "smart." There have been "antl
nlgger" outbreaks heretofore in Northern
States, for example in New York City
in 1SG3. No one needs to be told In what
party the great mass of these race-haters
are. Bryanlsm, every one knows. Includes
the great majority of the turbulent, irre
sponsible class. Yet we do not say It In
cludes all of them, or that Bryan will
not get many votes from the quiet, in
dustrious and orderly portion of our pop
ulation. Still, every observer knows that
the inspiration of Bryanlsm is a revo
lutionary movement against order and
property. The great movement which
first found expression In the Populist
party, then mastered the Democratic or
ganization, and now leads and controls
tho Bryan movement, 'Is a revolutionary
effort. Its doctrines form a body of
thought or feeling, Inspired by discon
tent, class prejudice and a superficial
philosophy. Its strength Is In negatives:
bitterly attacking existing Institutions- It
seeks to unite all who, on whatever
grounds, are dissatisfied with .present
conditions. But having no positive policy
of reconstruction, its triumph would, of
course, bo the signal for its dissolution
Into warring factions, and for general
political disorder. The essential element
of Bryanlsm Is mob law. It declares war
against the economic laws which govern
the production and distribution of wealth,
and If it could carry out the principles
that inspire it, the end of representative
republican government would be at hand.
It is for these reasons and on this basis
that the responsible elements of our so
cial, political and business life are bo
largely against Bryanlsm.

Three little fellows of S years, two be

land lady who formed part of The Dalles
colony at Collin's Landing for some
weeks, secretly agreed among themselves
the other night to steal away in tho
early morning and climb Wind Moun

else, and thoughtfully carrying with
them some stolen grub and a bottle ot
water. They made the ascent of the
mountain and had such a time as kids

naturally distracted, and as a last re
sort headed a party who started up the
mountain with lanterns. The lights and
the shouting attracted the boys on their
downward course, and the Jad3 were in
due time smothered -with maternal kisses,

with what one of them characterized, as

Insular as a caddts-worm, the Chinaman
has enclosed himself In a stone cell, out of
which he moves rarely, and never very
far. There are Chinamen who would be
utterly lost two blocks away from their
district, and who, although residents' of
the quarter for years, know nothing and
carenbthlng for the white-world save that
which they gather from occasional
glimpses through plateglass to and from
Evergreen cemetery, where the bodies of
many departed Celestials He till such time
as their boneB are gathered up to be trans
ported back to the Flowery Kingdom and
to be mingled with the dust of the fathers.
