Présentation de l'éditeur
Massachusetts is to give her opinion, before another sun goes down, concerning the hard-money political party, and a cheap-jack and burglar, greenback and greenhorn gang. The first skirmi in me presidential contest of 1880 will be fought in this not thoughtless Commonwealth to-morrow. An attempt is making to use the chair of Governor Andrew as a block to aid a political adventurer into the saddle of the wild horse of inflation. Sitting Bull, travelling in Massachusetts under the assumed name of Denis Kearney, appears in Faneuil Hall in his shirt-sleeves, and preaches a crusade of the poor against the rich. Massachusetts weighs him, and finds him first indecent, then blasphemous, then shallow, and last, and chief of all, bloodthirsty. The doctrines of the sand-lots of San Francisco are heard on Boston Common. Let Fall River remember that Moscow was burned to ashes. Labour must be crowned king, even if it wades knee-deep in blood. We stand ready on election day to take the life of any man, be he United States supervisor or other officer, who attempts to debar voters from exercising the right of suffrage. We, the working-men, are in the majority, and shall instal our candidate though the streets run with blood.
