Democratic National Committee to reproduce
this Davis rendering of the current Dem
ocratio campaign anthem. The Democratic
press Of Ohio in particular must not neglect 70
perform this service. Ohio distinctly remem-
bers john Morgan's men, aud just how
they struggled in unequal combat to Vindicate
the rights their fathers left them" The Re-
publican party must go. Why, certnly, MIR.
Davis! 1t was the Republican party that reso-
lutely declined to help John Morgan's men
accomplish this particular piece of vindication.
Nay more, and worse. 1t was the Republican
party that squarely and perslstently denied that
John Morgan's men were struggling for
urights" and that steadily upheld the hands OF
the Boys in Blue who handled John Morgan's
men so roughly. In fact, they put John Nor
gan's men into the Ohio pehitentiary. The
simple statement of these facts constitutes, as
Jefferson Davis thoroughly realizes, scathing
indictment of the Republican party. Impartial
history will convict it of having hurt the feel
ings of John MOrgan's men in several places.
The Republican party must go.
The American people can well believe that at
his age Jefferson Davis is averse to taking an
active interest IN current politics. But when
John Morgan's men urged him to attend their
commemorative jamboree the unwasted instinct
of patriotism within his breast asserted itself,
saying, " Now, Jefferson, here is a fine opportu-
nifty to deal the Republican party staggerer.
Democrats in various parts of the country for
some time have been singing that the Repub-
" lican party must go. Just you take mp the
strain, adding some characteristic variations oil
q your own" Mr.. Davis obeyed his instincts
with his accustomed ability and earnestness.
The Republican party must GO Jefferson
Davis says SO.

sir. jefferson Davis has added his high fall
setto voice to the Democratic chorus. lie too
is convinced that the Republican party must
go. The survivors of john Morgan's Con-
federate command held reunion few days
ago at which the benedctiOn of MIR. Davis's
presence was earnestly desired. But he was
not able to be present, and so responded to his
invitation With letter of regret This letter
was simply Mr.. Davis's way of declaring that
The Republican Party Must Go. @The name
of your association" he wrote to John Nor
"gan's men, is eloQuently commemorative of
the daring deeds performed, the dire suffer-
ngs borne and the barbarous indignities in
fcted on meu who had bravely struggled in
unequal combat to vindicate the rights their
fathers left them"

standing will of course be requested by the

cashier of the Orange National Bank, last
Saturday, IN Hoboken. They pleaded guilty
yesterday of attempted robbery and were SEN
fenced to ten years. Imprisonment each. EN-
erson. the other prisoner, means to stand trial.
The Judge regretted that he could not punish
Nugent and Farrell more severely. The public
regrets it also. Apparently one or two other
indictments might have been found against
these men if the authorities had wished. Then
possibly their sentences would have been
heightened. term Of twenty years is about
what they deserved. Their scheme was as I'M
pudent and daring as it is possible for any
crime to be- 1t was not the result of sudden
temptation, but of careful deliberation. The
penalty for it, therefore, should have been
measured by the intention rather than by the
success of the attempt. Only in some such
wav as that can other criminals be made AFRAID
to undertake similar performances.
The manner of keeping Sunday becomes
every year more and more a subject of con-
troversy. 1t has recently occupied the atten-
ton of the English Parliament, aud although
the advocates of re sonabie Sunday ala
Rot succeed in changing certain laws as they
wished, they were encouraged by the liberal
views expressed in the discussions. In TINS
city the question comes up regularly once or
twice a year, and public opinion has so far
advanced that it is admitted to be foolish to
put laws on the statute books which are not
enforced. At present st. Louis is in turmoil
over the matter The liquor-sellers are ag-
cressve and declare that they will never obey
the Browning law, which would shut up their
shops Oh Sunday. They certainly did not obey
it day before yesterday. The matter is to be
carried to the courts 1t is likely to be
sharp fight, but the respectable people in the
community have q fair chance of coming out
ahead if they will only be persistent enough.
They do not want want Puritan Sunday;
nor do they want free rum and no Sunday at
