I THE inter-ocean. I J ~ 1873. 1874. THE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE NORTHWEST. Til WINTER-OCEAN FOR. 1874. r Established less than two years since as rt representative Republican paper, pledged to maintain and defend the principles and organization of the great National Republican party, the Inter-Ocean has attained a circulation and influence with the masses ot its voters everywhere to entitle it to approach the commencement of a new calendar year and to prepare, for the preliminary work of' the next campaign, the shadow of which II already casting itself upon the country, .in l the confident belief that its friends will need' no other specific pledge for the future than * has been given in its coliitnns from day to' day during the past eighteen f non ths- Sipße' its first publication it lias maintained the position of ! THE LEADING REPUBLICAN Nt!Wti. PAPER IN THE NORTHWEST, id which It was assigned by universal assent, iu the excited canvass which resulted In the second and triumphant election of President Grant. THE EN EMIES OF THE COUNTRY are vigilantly at work. Despite the overwhelming rebuke administered to them in 1872, the opposition are skillfully massing their forces for a more determined onslaught upon the Republican organizational the next State and National elections. Encouraged by the apathy of Republicaus iu the “offyear,” seizing the unprecedented financial stringency as a pretext, and using as a hood wink the deep feeling among the agricultural classes for het'er and cheaper modes of transportation than now exist, THE DEMOCRACY, under as many names as there are hungry Demagogues eageT for office is getting; itself tulo rendimss to become once more tha Ruling Party of Hie nation. ’ IN THE SOUTH Hie old D mocracy of Secession and Rebellion is being warmed into life by tlieappareut reverses .Republicanism has suffered in the North. The election of Allen in Ohio, the triumph of Tammany iu New York, and the few desultory successes which have come to Auli-Republieau tickets iu various portions of the W st and Northwest, have inspired the rebels of Ibfl with the hope that the day is dawning when the Lost Cause is to be voted into a victory they failed to achieve by means of the bullet a,.d buyo ret. Already R. M.T. Hunter, a former Senator from Virginia, and a member of the Cabinet of Jeff Davis, has publish d iris scheme for the virtual payment of Four Hundred Millions of Dollars for the Emancipated Slaves of the South. Tire Richmond ;Va.) WAy and Governor Gilbert Walker are urging this plan with all pertinacity ; and there can be little doubt that a large party of Southern Representatives iu the Forty-thild Congress will be prepared to advocate lire payment of this money by the General Government. The past history of the Democratic parly gives no warrant that it will oppose this infamous robbery of the people ol the North for the benefitof traitors: but if the party is true to itself and its instincts the South will find it and its representatives u subservient ally. THE PAYMENT OF THE REBEL DEBT ■ __ is another scheme that is broadly hinted at tn many parts of the South, and is, without doubt, one of the projects to which the leading Democrats of that section would address themselves if the time should ever come when of the Northern States aud the General Government should be in the hands of tlie party which helped the rebels-in their work of destroying the Union. These are not faucilul issues. They ure real dangers, either to be met lace to face, or else4o be squelciied iu tlivir inception by tho continued successes of that organization which crushed the rebellion, gave ireedom to the slaves, and destroyed the slave-holding Confederacy. THE FARMERS ’ JuiawL lhat-thoLutkr-Ocuin was their. earli est, as it has been their staunchest and warmest, irieud. It is emphatically the oigan of the people in tlie best sense of the term, believing in the fullest protection o! the rights of the many against the encroachments of the few. It believes that all chartered corporations should be held TiLbe sulServieiit to the power that created them, uud without an of the just rights of blliers it insists, and will continue to insist, that all corporations enjoying special privileges voted to them by the people shall servo tha people fuirly and justly, at a compensation allowing a reasonable profit upon the actual cajiitul employed.
