his one principle of political action is to

Logic of History.

The Silver Cliff Prospect is small Colo>
RADIO newspaper, but its editor Is mau
who evidently remembers and thinks
He is getteng tired of the old cry that all
the patriotism and love of country in
America rests with the Republican par
ty, and he splts out in this way:
If the Republican party furnished the
five million partiots who fought for the
preservation of the Union let our contein.
porary produce the figures from the record
to prove it. Let it name the Republicans
among the men who led the solid ranks
of the Union legion against the enemy.
1t confesses that Douglas Democrats
donned the blue, and it might as well
have mentioned that among those Doug
las Democrats were such distinguished
soldiers as General Grant, Sherman, Nc
Clellen, Buel, Balleck, Rosecrans, Hook
er, Logan, Hancock, Porter. Franklin.
Sedgwick, Butler, Dix, Couch, Slocum,
Smith, Sickles, Seigel, Landers, Averill,
Corcoran, Meagher, Bartlett, Brown,
Blair, Shields, Ewing, Lyons, Leib, Pail
mer, McClernand, Pearson, Ward, Man-
son, Slack, Rice, Singleton, Steadman,
Corse, Schofield, and host of lesser ln>
minaries whose names have slipped our
memory. Will our contemporary please
trot out the names OF the Lincold Re.
publicans who took the field in '61 as
leaders in the fight, and will it please
name the fights they won? 1t was a
Douglas Democrat that carried the forti-
fication of Donaldson. 1t was Douglas
Democrat that won the field of Gettys-
burg. 1t was Douglas Democrat that
led the victorious Union host at Anrietam
It was Douglas Democrat that won the
red fields of Fredericksburg, Chancellors>
Vile, the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Coal
Harbcr, and Petersburg. It was Doug
tas Democrat that planted lie Vars and
stripes over Vicksburg. 1t was Doug>
las Democrat that drove the rebel hordes
from Nashville. 1t was Douglas Demo-
crat led the boys in blue through the hell
of battle up the sides of Lookout noun
tain and planted his victorious banner
above the clouds. It was Douglas
Democrat that held the pass at Athena
1t was Douglas Democrat that led the
famous march to the sea- 1t was Doug
las Democrat that received the sword Of
Lee on the historic field of Appomattox
1t was a Lincoln Republican that laid
down his sword early in the fight and
returned home to accept a position in
Congress. His name is Garfield. Give
US more facts and less wind, ncighbor,
and rembember, when you assert that the
Republican party was strong enough in
1860 to wipe out the Democrats, that the
facts do not bear you cut in the statement.
Mr.. Lincoln received but very little
over a third of the popular vote at that
time. There were two Democratic tickets
in the field and the vote of the party was
divided between them. The combined
party vote at that time would have left
Mr.. Lincoln almost as far behind as Gree>
ley was left by Grant in '72. Mr.. Lincoln
was minority President by large per
cent.
