LET US STAND BY THE OLD
,yHTP

The Republican party is ike a
staunch ship that has been tested by
wind and wave and proven seaworthy
in every respect. She has met the
fieroest tempests and brought her pas
sengers and freight through il safety.
The question now before the people is,
Shall this noble vessel be laid aside for
the old worm-eaten hulk Democracy.
that was condemned years ago as un-
worthy of confidence or patronage?
The people who intrust their lives and
property to a craft require something
more than paint and putty to satisfy
them that the vessel is sound. Tilden
may paint and putty Democracy from
stem to stern, and hold ont the induce
ment of cheap fare for the Presidential
trip, but intelligent people will give the
old hulk a wide berth. She has been
tried and found wanting, and no assn
rance of reform i'll her management can
save her from public condo tmnation.

TIE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION

The man who can visit the Centen-
NAL Exhibition and go home a Demo-
crat must have very little of gratitude
III his nature. The priceless result of
Republican wisdom and loyalty are
gathered together in Philadelphia. If
the Democratic policy had prevailed
we should have lad no nation to glory
over, no Centennial to celebrate, no
welcome to extend 10 the world.
Strangers instead of rejoicing over our
glory would have come to weep over
our shame. No true American can gaze
upon the wonders of the International
Exposition without feeling increased
admiration for the Republican party
whose courage saved the country and
made possible this Centennial Exhibit

BRING OUT ETELsr I-oTE

Every Republican vote must be got
out this fall. No business transaction,
no public or private engagement must
be allowed to interfere with voting.
This must be considered sacred obli-
CATION to be kept at all hazards anG
under all circumstances. The loss of a
single vote may give State to Democ-
racy. The loss of State may lead to
the surrender of the Government to
those who have plotted its overthrow.
Republicans must work as ifon one vote
depended the salvation of the Republic.
The lukewarm must be aroused TO ac-
tivlty, the doubters must be convinced
by the presentation of facts, every friend
of the country must be enlisted in the
great work of defense. The signs indi-
cate a Republican victory, but our
friends must remember that tie result
depends upon the work accomplished.
If the work is thorough the triumph
will be complete.

When the Republican party came

has God wrought under the sway of

floats over feemen everywhere. Sla-

rule will wipe out forever tile spirit Of
oppression which still fingers around

The loyal sentiment OF the nation is
thoroughly aroused, and this means a
sweeping Republican victory. InteIli-
gent men, who love the Union, recog-

is simply the restoration of those evils
which threatened our Government dur

for the Democratic party would be a

Formerly bigamy was punishable with
death Under the more beniguant system
Of criminal law in our own State, it only
subjects the offender 10 imprisonment in u
State prison not exceeding FIVE years.
The act Of CHARLES IL. VAN BRUNT Is
divided from bicamy by the imaginary
line Of the State boundary. Had he done
on this side of that imperceptible line
what he did on the other. he woul1
have been guilty of bignmy. and liable to
imprisonment in the State prison for five
years. ono OF the occasional advantages
Of being learned in the law would thus
seem to be to know how to cvade ii.
Tho following is the provision of the Re
vised statutes relating 10 bigamy:
"E,crY person haviues hu.band or wife living who
shan marry any other per'on, whether married or M.
-t,t 3D. W.. W.. ,t,,s mn ,I m.N .,
uon shsl be nuni hed by imprisonment IA q ssate
PRISON for a term not exec. ding i've years
Then there is a provision that this Soc
ton shall not extend "to any person, by
reason of any former marriage, which
shall have been dissolved by the decree Of
competent court, for some cause other
than the adultery Of such person" Bat as
Judge VAN BRUNr's wife obtained her
divorce on the ground of his adultery, this
exception does not apply to him.
II seems that Judge VAN BEUNT is now
living openly, in this city, with his second
wife, and acknowledging her as lis wife.
For certain purposes this would be suGl-
Client evidence Of marriage. Now very
nice question arises; According TO our
judicial decisions, Judge VAN BRI ST, if he
had never gone through any ceremony
elsewhere, would be held, from these facts
alone, TO bo married. TO his second wife.
DO they so far constitute marriage with
in this State ms to subject him to prosocu-
ton for bigamy? We hardly think so; al
though it seems little inconsistent that
what makes n marriage for one purpose
should not make it for another.
Judge VAN BRCNT has very clearly vio-
lated the law of The State. Ha only de-
fence is that lac has done IT beyond the
State jurisdiction. The statute makes the
following provision;
mo second Or other subsequent mcrrare, shall be
contracted by any person during tie M lnc ~ nnY
lo0nr husband or wife OF Huch person. uns s. the mar
mage with such former husband VIE shall ha e been

has been sentenced to be confined in the

to be hanged by the neck until he is dead.

of executions following swiftly on the

The case is thus kept In the public mind (;
