Republican schemes and the fate of power in the republic
The Louisville Courier-Journal argues that Speaker Reed’s rulings and Republican support reveal a deliberate scheme to extend power. It contends the party lacks a true majority, relies on corruption, uses tariff and sectional appeals, and risks heavy burdens on the public as it fights to enlarge its grip before future elections. It concludes that restoring Republicans in 1888 was a grave mistake with costly consequences.
