The CHICAGO TRIBUNE
FOR 1R7R-


A great Presidential Campaign will soon com
mence. That struggle will determine whether the
Government of the United States shall continue
to be administered by the party which preserved
it from ACKNOWLEDGMENT. or by the men who en-
deavored to destroy or refused to help save it. in
order that Slavery might be maintained
Those who desire the Republican party to re-
main in power cannot more efficiently contribute
to that end than by increasing the circulation Of

On the leading measures before the public, THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE holds the following views be.

to the debtor classes.
2. Reduction of direct State, and indirect Ma
tional Taxation.
3. Economy and Retrenchment in Public Ex-
penditures; no Bounies or Subsidies Of Public
Moneys for Private Schemes. or Payment of Rebel
Losses our of the National Treasury.
4. An honest maintenance of Public Credit
and Condemnation of Reputation in any form or
shape.
Carriers and Corporate Monopoiies. not to Cypress
them, but to protect the people.
6. Exposure and Punishment Of all Official
Corruption and Frauds on the Revenue. Let no
guilty man escape.
r. Honest and FIT Men for all Offices giving
good Unionists preference former Secession.

g. Sovereignty of the Union in all National Mat
tiers; State Rights and independence in all Local
Matters.
O. Election of President by direct vote Of the
People, without the clumsy and dangerous inter
vention of Electoral Colleges, which may some day

10. Constitutional Amendment prohibiting
division of the Pubic-SchoJl Funds Of any State
for Sectarian Purposes.

Friday, End OF June, had been looked forward

night. Alas! just as their highest anticipstions
were about to be realized, came sad disappoint-
ment. At ten O'Clock the different Sabbath
schools formed q procession and marched to the
grounds, with baskets of provisions in great
abundance: but just about the time eating began,
1t commenced raining, and Oh, my! the new
