son, the Pennsylvania republican who has
deserted TO Hancock, a severe rap. Pear
son gave as reason for joining the demo-
cracy that Hancock had proclaimed ''that
the right of trial by jury. the habeas corpus,
the liberty of speech, the natural rights of
persons, and the rights of property must
be preserved" On this Mr.. Curtis re-
marks:
The party which has denied the right Of
trial by jury, which refused and contested
the protection of the great writ of liberty
to the most innocent and most unfortunate
of Americans, which has always insolently
attacked freedom of speech and the press,
which has outraged and destroyed every
natural personal right, and which Furnish
es recruits to the forces of communism, is
the party to which he has now betaken
himself.
On the other hand, the party which has
demanded that all citizens, black as well
as white, shall serve equally upon the Jury;
which has invoked for the poorest and
most oppressed citizen the right of the
habeds corpus, and has suspended the writ
only as against armed treason and to save
the government; which has asserted every
where the liberty of speech and of the press
attacked by democratic foes; which was
born of respect for the equal natural
rights of persons; which is the uncom-
promising enemy of every form of com
munism. including that which would lower
the value Of the dollar of the laborer,-is
the republican party which the general
leaves.

faith and We're to be babtized The
place chosen was tbs immense excava-

the stone for the walls and building had
been taken. The rocky sides of this
great cavity rise to height of more
than a hundred feet and present wild
appearance. At the bottom is a pool
of water clear as crystal. In the after
noon the sides of the quarry were lined
with eonvicts. Above them were the
guards posted as sentinels, while deep
down around the impid water were
the converts awaiting baptism. The
ceremony began amid most impress
i've silence. The words of the minister,
the responses of the convict convert,
Iloated to the upper air with strange
sofeness and amid stiffness as of
death.
