Uhh no, Ben Franklin among the rest of the Framers first helped create a CONFEDERACY, and later a United, Federal Deomcratic-Republic. Republicans themselves only arose during the pre-civil war era in the first place.

Ironically Ben was most likely speaking against antidemocratic sentiments rather than for them. But perhaps I'm being too optimistic.
Anyway "republic" in the American mind is just shorthand for the ideal bourgeois state, one in which only the propertied classes have a say.

In mullerian terms, he is talking about how social contestation has severely declined in the current political scenario of the USA.
Confederacy and republic are referring to different parameters of state organization. Republic basically means that the power that sustains the country comes from the collective of the society, which may or may not be democratic, considering that said power can be controlled by specific individuals (oligarchies, dictatorships, plutocracies, etc…).
Confederacy/federation refer to the prerrogatives of the central government in relation to its federated entities.
