HE RECORD of the Republican party during the forty-four years of its exist- ence tells of a devotion to principle and a courage of conviction that have been reached by no national organization since the forma- tion of the government. It was not created to destroy slavery, but to prevent the exten- sion of it. It believed that fighting was nec- essary to that end, and it was ready for the fight. Since then, with its share of bad men within its own lines, it has struggled for the highest good and has accomplished it to some extent through the punishment of its own wrong-doing as well as that of the enemy. It has been a brave and a conscientious party, and has turned its back on no duty and no emergency, It never stopped its good work in order to save to itself the votes of any sec- tion, and it gave up in its patriotism in behalf of progress whatever of the support of bad men was necessary to that end. Its platforms have dodged no dangerous issues, and it has proclaimed in plain words such doctrines as only good men could be relied upon to indorse. It has put its faith in the people, and they have stood by it pretty nearly through the whole of these memorable forty-four years. The party of courage and conscience will be equally true to itself this year at Philadelphia, Events and situations have made its platform for it, and there will be no mincing or doubtful words or phrases, The situation has put the standard-bearer at the front, and the ballot-box will take care of the rest. The work of the convention is largely done before it is begun, for the questions at issue are clearly to be judged by such consid- eration as lies between the main matters of right and wrong. The story of forty-four years prophesies the men. the principles, the policy, and the victory of nineteen hundred. The orators will speak the praises of the party of fifty-six and the subsequent years, and the people will ratify their judgment. GINCE HIS LAST whipping Mr. Corbett has got so hopeless that he wants to go to congress. THE CUBANS will understand presently that the Americans know how to punish crime as well as to furnish it. eee PADEREWSKL says he will give us another farewell tour. We may also look for Patti again; but Dan Rice, poor fellow, has quit the business for good. o. RUSSELL SAGE talks foolishness in saying that he finds his great- . est pleasure in attending missionary meetings. He ought to know that he isn’t eligible to any of the contributions. eee DURING APRIL more than twenty thousand Italians landed in this country; but it ds still too early for these men to imagine that they can make the wages or break the capital of their adopted land. eee THE PURSUIT of riches, according to Mr. Rockefeller, is not a° wrong thing. Surely not; but when the pursuér wants every- thing, denying everybody else his share, it may be suspected that he is not entirely courteous or considerate. is Wy MAKING HAY WHILE— NO EXCUSE FOR HIM. “+ Yer honor, I was ignorant of the law.” “Are you a lawyer?” ER—* No, sir.” Jupce— Then, sir, allow me to tell you that that is no excuse.” FURTHER FINANCE. T IS OF NO consequence to Clark of Montana whether he buys or steals his honors. He is not sensitive about little things like that. But it would gratify a good deal of curiosity to know what his lieutenant-gov- ernor cost him. A DANGEROUS SON. ‘THE REVEREND MR. JEFFRIES, father of the champion James, is praying that his son may be whipped and so leara the error of his ways. Possibly James will come to look upon the father as a hoodoo and judge it to be a business duty to whip him. Pugilists are very much inclined to be superstitious and to imagine whippings to be cures for all evils. THE FIRST REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN. HILADELPHIA was the scene of the first’ Republican convention, in 1856, and John C. Fremont, the California pathfinder, who ran away with and married Jessie, daughter of Senator Thomas H. Benton of Mis- souri, was its candidate. A prominent candidate for vice-president was + Abraham Lincoln, who made the great speech of the convention, but was beaten by William L. Dayton of New Jersey. The candidates were fre- quently mentioned as Fremont and Jessie, and the lady won the applause of Democrats and Republicans alike. ‘ guy, Mant; MG) babe MNT a We vy ae he %e —THE SON SHINES. comicbooks.com
