he OhItapo j hlbtNE IL I'LL IlltltDtllt-
ent Republican journal which supports Greeley
and Brown and the Cincinnati Platform. 1t
believes that since all the distinctive princi-
pies OF the Republican party have been accom-
pllshed, and all organized opposition to those
principles has ceased, there Is something bet
ter to engage he attention Of the people than
to fight old battles over again. Ii holds that
the most important thing to be done now is 10
effect a complete reconciliation between the
North and the South. These two great sec
ions OF our common country have been in
bitter hostility toward each other more than
Il quarter Of 4 century III reference TO the insti-
tuition of Slavery. Eleven years ago this hos
tlity broke out II War. Seven years ago the
War terminated the Rebellion was crushed,
and Slavery ab0ls ed both by force of arms
and by Constitutional Amendment. Since that
time the southern States have been recon-
stgucted, Impartial Suffrage has been estab-
lIshed, the payment OF the National debt Sc
cured, and the payment of the Rebel debt
prohibited by Constitutional Amendments
All the old obstacles to Permanent Peace and
Reconciliation between the North and the
South have been removed. To effect such q
return of friendship and fraternal feeling, to
the end that there may no longer be any enc
mics OF our Government in our own midst, is
the principal mission Of the Liberal Republl-
can party which assembled at Cincinnati On the
LIST OF May, whose platform and nominees have
been wisely and patrioticaly indorsed by the
Baltimore Convention.
HE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is an organ of Pro
CIR S.. II bel YES that there are a multitude
OF abuses TO be reformed, and that no time
should be 4ost IN combating them. The Civil
service OF the Government has become an
instrument OF party tyranny, and an object OF
selfish greed, 1t is the great coruptor Of
public morals and legislation. The Federal
offices are openly used TO CONTROL conventions
and elcctiuus-that is to say, the taxes col
lcc,cd from the People are employed to over
ride the Peoples viii. The evidence OF this
tact Is prt sentcd 70 the public every day, and
the proofs OF il were funis he'd overwhelmingly
by the recent Chs ON House investigation in
Newlork. No Administration has ever car
lIcd this practice to suCn dangerous lengths
a. that Of President Grant, and il Is now be.
coming question whether the People them
selves are strong enough TO throw off the yoke
that has been imposed upon them. IHE CHI-
CAGO TRIBUNE Will labO, tor a thorough Reform
of the Civil Service
The country also needs Reform in the Rege-
nue. System, whereby the taxes collected from
the People shall go INTO the Public Treasury,
and not INTO the Golfers Of priyat individuals
and corporations. The CHICAGO TRIBUNE
holds that the doctrine OF Protection is a de-
fusion. whereby millions of dollars are lost
each year both to the producer aud the con-
sumer. 1t will labor, therefore, for such
Reform a viii s.. adualiy reduce the TaIh to
Revenue standard, TO the end that Industry
may be as free as the revenue requirements OF
HE Government, economically administered,
viii admit.
In short. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE propos to
act in the Living Present, and leave the Dead
Past to bury lis dead. 1t claims for It's
course the merit Of Honesty and Iudcpeud-
cncc. tt has NO uttIla lions with any class of
or office-seekcrs. Its relations
are with the People only. 1t seeks to- elevate
the standard OF political intelligence ard
and 10 encourage independence
Of thought among its readers. ia This en-
deayor 1t has been amply sustained. From
this c0ursc it will not be swelvcd,
