The Position OF the Republican Indorscd-
states that Have Abolished the Death
Penalty,
~ ne Eitor n ne National RspBblic1rs
SIR: The position Of the NATIONAL REFUBLt-
CAN on the subject Of the death penalty Is In &C.
coriance with the spirit Of the age, OF advanced
civilization, and Of Christianity. II is not gen.
orally known that actual experiment has demon.
strated the uselessness OF capital punishment.
Here are the facts: Michigan abolished the death
penalty In lsI6, and for twenty-seven years nc
execution has taken place In that enlightened
community. We have the testimony Of the
highest authority that murders are less frequent
and convictions more speedy aud certain than
when the gallows nourished In that State.
Rhode Island abolished capital punishment In
1862, and for twcnty-one years has enjoyed
greater tranquility, with more safety Of human
life, than ever before. The chief Justice Of the
State and the warden Of the state prison concur
In this view. The people Of Rhode Island, like
those OF Michigan, are among the wisest Oui
country Affords, and they are nearly unanimous
In similar sentiment, Wisconsin comes next. In
lso9 she swept from her statutes every vestige OF
the law OF vengeance. Twenty years eNpe.
rience only confirms the wisdom OF her course
Gov. Washburn Is emphatic In his approval Of
the act Of 1888. Last comes Iowa. On the 2Olh
Of April, lsI2, her Legislature utterly repudiatcd
the law OF blood for blood and life for life. Sc
We have the experience Of the following states

An Objection TO the Headlines OF the Repub-
licnn-No Mere Sensation Intended.
~ ne Editor n ne RsppbiicaRl
SIR But for the headlines you prenxed to my
communication Of yesterday, containing a new
creed, the once Of the present note could be
confined to the expression Of my thanks; and I
ought to say that perhaps the tenor and the tone
OF those headlines did not seem to others as
they seemed to me. But the communication IN
question would never have left my pen had
consulted either pride or vanity or any other
purely selfish feeling or consideration; and !
cannot think that what wrote deserved TO be
presented as II 1t had been composed by some
seeker Of notorlety. The truth Is, now and then
one Is somehow inspired to undertake unselnsh
things In order to promote what one considers
Interests Of public dignity and value.
SO much Of your headlines as related to some
supposed notion that Washington, which said
being now the political capital, asplres to be-
come, II she has not already become, the social
centre OF the country, Is destined also to become
the religious centre Of the country II not OF the
world, was not, think, called for by the body
Of my former note.
The creed you published seems to me a fair
expression OF the faith OF millions, here and on
the eastern shores Of the Atlantic. To compose II
was as easy as to write out the multiplication ia
bic or the LOrls Prayer or the Apostles Creed,
Not being, as Aforesaid one Of the saints but only
one OFT sinners, have felt, from time to time
the need Of association with enlightened minds
agreeing with me as to the proportions which
mat creed expresses, or at least intimates.
No mere sensation, no mere nine days wonder
Is IN contemplation In the movement here In
question.
From the tone and tenor OF your headlines, Il
seems TO me, one might think that some nTst-
class DamphoOl had taken into his head the mo-
tlon that he ought to figure as the priest or
prophet OF new religion. II you read my for
mer note as indicating that, | must say that
either you misread or ] miswrote. The matter
TO which desired to call attention seemed to me
OF public interest, and dlscerned about II moth
ing smackng OF a love OF nOtoriety, Y,Z
