' Booh Aftirtlm -roCMit 'elections the 'lttdr of tho. llnpublican party began 'to announoe to nownpapor rqiortera, nd by thera through the public pres, theciusei which M to the defeat of the Republican party throughout the coutv try. These party lcadora ancrilied va rioua ri'twons for their orerwhelming defeat ; but nil of them, with few ex ccptionH,ought through those announce mmiU to conceal from publio tiew the real causes which led to tho orerthrow of their once powerful party. The leading Republican journals of the country also gae their viows as to the cause of the universal triumph of the Democracy in the Into elections. Rut none of them gave the real cause which conspirod to defnat the Republicans iu Ohio. Indiana. Pennsylvania, New York and other States. These jour Hals, too, like tho party Jeaders, were wont to concral the real and. leading causes of Democratic victory and Re publican defeat. Ilisy all joined in saying that it was the prohibition question winch alienated the Ur man and literal elements of the Repub lican party and caused them to vote with the Democrats. AH those etate merits of Republican leaders and of Republican newspapers are groundless, and only mado to deceive the people and divert public attention from the great living fads and causes of this mighty upiismg of the people through out the entire land. Tho masses of the people have bo coino convinced that the cry of cm service reform from Republican head quarters was and had leen a sham and a pretense. The peoplo heard this cry from 1 laves throughout his en'ire ad ministration, and although they regard cd hint as an intruder in the office to which he was never elected, yet they had hoped tliut something might bo 2one in tho way of reforming the civi service. Rut when his administration had dragged its weary length through its four years the peoplo of tho country, after a few investigations, found that fraud and corruption, political assess' tnents, star route stealing and every .manner of political jobbery had been ipermittcd and even encouraged under J I ayes administration. During all this time and for years 'previous the Democratic party, through its conventions and its platforms, its orators arid its party press, had been .nrraiguing the Republican party for its frauds in elections, for lU corrupt methods and practices in the civil ser 'vice department, for its class legislation for its legislation in favor of the cor porations of the country and against i the laboring, toiling millions of our .people, Tho Dninncrats in Congress arraigned the Republican leadors for creating innumerable Federal offices with exhorbUnnt salaries, then lovying Political assessments on the offices ere ntcd, thus drawing the money out of the treasury and using tho money re .nlizml front these assessments to cor nipt the elections of our citizens. Tho Democrats in Congross arraigned tho Kepuhltcans for keeping up and main tiuuiug the present infamous tariff sys tern and for their reckless and extrava gant use of tho publio funds. Tho Democrat in Congress arraigned the Republican leaders for originating, manipulating and upholding tho pres ent internal revenue system and asked them to join with the Democrats and, Teviso tho tariff and internal revenue AysUmis so as to relieve tho masses of the peoplo from the heavy burdens im posed upon them by reason of those tariff and rovenun laws. The Demo crats in Congress bogged of the Repub licans to go straight at this tariff re vision and give tho poople relief at once. Rut the Republicans, instead of joining with and assisting the Demo cratic members in this matter of the tariff, evaded it entirely and raised a committee outside of the members of Congress for the solo purpose of delay ing action on the tariff. The commit tee was a select one, known to be in the interest of the great corporations who are benefitted specially by our presont tariff system. This com mi t tee, after traveling around over the coun try and calling upgi all the leading protectionists, , .was reudy to report months before tiro present session of Congress. The leading newspapers of the country stated to the public what the suWanco of the report of this com-1 mutee would no. ilieso papers in formed us that the report of this cow mittee would I adverse to any reduc tion or modification of thr tariff in any material point Rut alas fo? thi committee and those Republican lead ers who raised the commit too and by their speeches throughout tho land sought and endeavored to prepare the people for its intended report The people, tired of and disgusted at the course of the tloiiiinnnt party on the tariff, tired of their abuse of the civil service, alarmed at their extravagant and reckless waste of the publio funds, overawed aud frightened at the eon tinuod and determined effort of the party to corrupt the free elections of the country, by the use of money stolen from the publio Treasury, and unwill. ing to submit to the unjust internal revenue system, sent thundering in Uuir report. The people forestalled the intended report of the committee, and we are now informed by the prewi that another and different report has Wen prepared and sent in more in cori- . 1 .. ...... iu L.'.J.UJ 1,.. lormity wim ine rtpori, rcnuumu vj . All these questions of the tariff, of 6ivil acrvico reform, of the unjust in ternal revenue system, of tho scar route stealing, of political assessments, . nil! . -f .ill, nlan- . and oi reuerai iiiwiriurmn;o wim i;h-v- lions, have been kept constantly before the people by and through the Demo cratic party, and the attention of the country has been so clot-ely and con- tinuolly directed to tnese questions that tho people of both partie have time and again demanded oi me Pa7 in power that these abases of tho civil service be corrected, thdt ther be a stop to this taxing for political pur poses the office-holders anil eriiploycs of the Government, that there 1 no mere of this conception of the people's eleotiens by the uso of the nation's treasury, lhat these corrupt scoun Jrels who haye disgraced, tho country bv their political jebbcry lm dismissed from office and punished according to law. That their present system of Dub ic Plunder through tho tanu and revenue laws I alwlished. In short, the people have become greatly alarm ed at the corrupt, reckless and extra acant use of the publio money and bavo Wen demanding a return to 'fitst principles, a return to hotieity and economy in the administration of pub lic affairs, and finally, after they had been rcpsatedly promised relief in these matters by the Kepuuiican party, and instead of promised relief being ol- tained, things grew worse and worse, aud the people, seeing that relief from the Republican party could no longer he hoped for nor expected, and sun groaning under the heavy burdons of taxation so long imposed upon them by the dominant party, rose in their might and by the sovereign power of tho lal- lot. rebuked that party and Hurled trom office the wen who had bo grossly bc trayed then And this victory of the people was a decisive one, It mean ing cannot be mistaken. This was no SDasmodio uprising of the mawe It was not the result of any sudJen en thusiasm awakened by tho cry of demagogue. Rut it was the result of a cool, deliberate fthd, well settled, con viction, and this conviction Was lincksd by the determined will of the honest freemen who toil and labor for their livinu. and who. being convinced of their duty, were ready and determined to do it To prove and demonstrate tho causes of recent Kepumican defeat, it is only necessary to refer to the utterances and statements of RrpUMican letulcts mado since CongrosH met a few days ago, And as positive proof of the causes which led to the triumph of Democrat io principles in the late election We refer simply to the President's message to Congress. Arthur now advises an immediate revision and reduction of the tariff. Whyl Reeau so tlto people of this country, by an overwhelming majority, on tho 7th of Nov. last, so decided, and the Democrats ill Con gross, having mado ' this issui, thus warned the Republican party of the result should tho peoplo not obtain mi mediate relief in this respect, and the Democratic party, unable to obtain this desired relief, went to the people on the tariff question as erne of tlte lead mg issuos in tho November elections The peoplo said in thundering tones In theso elections that civil service reform must and shall come, Arthur in his recent message to Congress nays so, too. But the Domocrats went to (he coun try on that issuo also, and their tickets headed by such men as drover Cleve land, Robt I. rattison, tho gifllant old Stoneman. Cons. Rosecratis and Slo- cum, swept the country like a whirl wind, and this powerful and unmiHtaR ablo announcement of tho people has alarmed President Arthur and has struck terror in the ranks of these Re publican bossen, and hence theso favor able recommendations to Congress. Rut the dio is cast. The people have been heard from, and all the cunning of party leaders cannot turn the tidn of public sentiment It is too luto for these political manipulators to find re pontance now, for this death bed re pentance is a very doubtful sincerity, They have sinned away their day of grace, and the voice of the people hath spoken it.
