its Mission Not Ended.

For fourteen years the Republican
party has governed the nation. Its
record has become the most brilliant
chapter in American history. No cit
izen need blush over a single line.
Posterity will dwell with admiration
over the grand work recorded in so
brief a space of time.
Grand as its past achievements are
admitted to be, even by its opponents,
they will be at least equalled, if not
surpassed, by the work of the future.
1t has delivered the nation from the
hands of its enemies its future mis-
sion will be TO conduct it to the high
est possible plane of nationality. 1t
has q public debt to pay, pledged faith
of the country to maintain, curren.
cy to redeem in coin, an emancipated
race to protect, before it can retire
froTn a work to which it was called by
the voice Of the people.
It's not idle boasting, but recog-
nized truth, when we say that the Re
publican party represents the intelli-
gence, the wisdom, the patriotism, the

all classes, among men of culture,
wealth, industry, the true governing
elements Of nations. Could the two
parties pass in review, so that the ma
ton could contrast the material Of
each, there would be no hesitation
among fair minded citizens as to the
party most entitled to support.

THE sneecb of Senator m

The speech of Senator Thurman,
of Ohio, which was to be the great
event Of his life, and an oratorial ef.
fort which would equal the best pro-
ductions of Webster or Clay, has not
worked exactly as was anticipated. 1t
has edectually squelched him, so far
as Presidential aspirations are concern
ed, and is everywhere denounced as
tricky and cowardly. Even the New
York Tribune gives him up, as weak
kneed, aud lime-serving. Alasl poor
Thurman Pendleton triumphs at last.

IFS ranks, men who desire to do right,
and who earnestly seek through their
votes and influence to advance the
interests Of their country. But they
are 10 a hopeless, minority, powerless
to control the bad elements which ex-
ert controlling influence in the Dem
ocratic party. Honor, patriotism, re-
spectibility, intelligence, are the ex-
ceptions in Democracy, while in the
Republican party they are the rule.
Rascals will creep into the best or
ganized society. They will get into
the church, the best protected orders,
the family circle. They are not in
vited, but they come under the guise
Of honor, and are known only when
their acts betray them. Such men are
discovered from time to time in the
Republican party, but as soon as
known they receive the lash of indig-
nation, or if criminally guilty, the
penalties laid down in the law. They
have never been sheltered by the par
ty, and they never viii be. Whenev-
er, or wherever discovered, they will
nave meted out TO them the punish
ment they deserve.
This is all that any human organiza,
tion can do. We should expect no
more from party; we should be sat
isfed with no less. To search out and
punish the delinquent, to ignore the
unworthy, to turn a cold shoulder to
those who would use the party to pro-
mote their own selfish purposes, should
be the object and aim Of true Re2ub-
licans. Our ranks are 6lled with no.
BILE characters, men Of public and
private virtue, whose names have be-
come household words in the locali-
ties where they reside. To bring them
to the front, to nominate them for Of
fee, to select them as leaders, is to
write victory on our party banners.
Let this important duty be performed.
