THE CAMPAIGN TRIBUNE



The Presidential canvass of 1888 is already
certain to be one of signal interest and vehe-
mence. The American People, so long distracted
by issues originating in Slavery, embittered by
Rebellion, and eliminating in JOhnsOnism,
instinctively welcome the struggle now open
ing as destined to close the long series of
sterile and wasting distractions and usher in
a glad, bright era of peace and rest. OF
all the false dogmas which melted and
upheld the late frenzied War for Dis
union, the assumption that "This is White
and franchises are the rightful monopoly of
single race or caste, alone remains to be over
thrown. POintedly condemned by the Declara-
tion Of Independence, sgnally though quietly
rebuked by the Federal Constitution (Which
recognizes among our people only "free per-
"sons" and "all other persons but knows no
such distinction as White and Black, and put
to open shame by the undeniable fact that
men of diverse colOrs fought under our flag in
our Revolutionary contest in the War of 1912,
and in our late desperate struggle to
preserve the Union, it nevertheless takes
shelter under the Atheistic if not fendish
assertion of a natural, unconquerable antipathy
between the Caucasian and the African races,
and a natural right of the hater to dominion
over the object of his hatred This last enemy
Of our peace this fOmenter of intestine feuds,
of hostility and blOOdshed, alone remains to be
overcome; and the first Tuesday of November
next must see it unhOrsed and put at rest for
ever.
THE NEw-YoRK TRIBUNE proposes to do in
this contest its very utmost for Impartial
Liberty and Equal Human Rights. Believing
the triumph of the Republicans therein to be
the natural and logical complement and con-
summation of that struggle for the rights OF
Human Nature which our Revolutionary
! fathers so nobly initiated, it enters upon tho
Presidential campaign with a perfect con-
sciousness that it will be, must be- one of un-
equaled excitement and intensity, but with q
profound and joyful conviction that it can have
but one result--a result which will be hailed
with glad and grateful exultation by the cham
pions of Liberty and Progress throughout the
civilized world. But we are quite aware also
that the victory viii not be won without effort,
and tthhat the most perfect diffusion of Intelli
gence and Argument is prerequisite and essen.
tial to its achievement, or at least to its COM
pleteness.
