The Lsncolnites Down ON fremont
and Ills supporteTs. Proof.

Colonel CoSRAD BAKEK is the candidate on the
Republican State tickle, for Lieutenant Governor.
He Vas one of the speakers at the LiNooLS ratih
cation meeting in this city on Saturday night last.
The Journal. of Monday last, reports his remarks
upon the occasion. he spoke after Governor
MoEros. and. therefore. with foil knowledge
of the views Of His EIcellency. These facts
give additional significance to the remarks of
Col. BAKrR. lie has the repstatiOn OF being
sharp, shrewd man. and he undoubtedly under
stands the feelings and purposes Of the LINCOLN
wing of the Republican party Col. BAKER was
undisguised in his opposition to the Cleveland
Convention and the Cleveland nominees. Mark
well the opprobious epithets he applies to
FRExoSr and bis supporters. He charges FRE-
sosr with desertion. and it is well known in these
military times that deserter j. not only degraded,
but should receive condign punishment He also
said, using most contemptuous term, that the
Cleveland nomination drift wood con
cern," and intimates that the nominees would
catch drift on shares with Southern traitors. Is
not this complimentary to the Cleveland Con
vention. composed of Republicans We also
call attention to another point. and We quote the
words which the Journal reports. Col. BAKER
twas particularly severe on the right OF asylum
as set forth in Cleveand-and it meant an asy-
lum for scoundrels." This is not report. be
IL remembered, but that Of the Journal the or
gan of the LIScoLNITKs. What did the Cleve-
land Convention say upon the subject? We
quote from the platform:
Z. That the right of asylum, except for crime.
and subject to law. is recognized principle of
American liberty; that any violation of il cannot
be overlooked. and must not 60 unrebuked.
Is there any thing wrong in this declarationf
Col. BAKKR representing Governor MoRTos and
the LINCOLN State ticket, says there is-that it
means an asylum for seoundrels. We quote
again the words of the Cleveland convention, so
that the odium which morton, BAKER and COM
pany seek to place upon the supporters OF FIRE.
MONT, may be fully appreciated: The right of
asylum. exeept for crime and subject 10 lar. IS a
recognized principle of American liberty" Is
there any thing contrary TO Republican principles
in this? Yet n LINCOLN meeting in this city, at
which the LINCOLN candidates for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor were the principal speakers,
say nothing is meant by this formal declaration
of principle. but to establish asylum for scoun-
dres. And be il remembered, also, that the
speech of Col. BAKER has not been modified or
changed, although there has been ample opportu-
nifty TO do if he not correctly reported.
The speech of the LINCOLN candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor but echo OF the senti-
ments entertained and expressed by the LINCOLN
candidate for Governor Ii not attack
upon FREMoSr's letter OF acceptance or tho views
entertained exclusively by that individual but a
denunciation Of the Cleveland resolutions.
We reproduce and call attention to the speech
of Col. BAKER,, IL appears in the LINCOLN
organ for the reason that far il goes it fully

the speech of His Excellency. o. p NJ. 1t
proves most conclusively that MoRroN. BAKER,
and the whole State ticket are down on Fremont,
are down on all who support him, and such is
their arrogance that they denounce even the Re-
publicans who have the independence to think
and act for themselves. Here is the speech of
Col BAKER as reported in the Journal of Mon

REMARKS or COL. BAKER.
A loud call being made for Col. Baker our
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, he came for
ward and spoke briefly but eloquently, and his
remarks were received with great applause
He said the nominations had been ratified by
the people the moment they heard of them. The
Baltimore Convention had only put record
and confirmed the previously expressed will of
the people all over the country These nomlna-
tons had been made by the peope-the ticket
would be elected by the people He thought
Fremont could be connected Of desertiOn. The
General thinks everything is suspended. and for

suspended The Cleveland nomination a

would also ne drift wood birgain-would catch
