AM omen rupture in the Republican party

An open rupture in the Republican party
of Pennsylvania is liable to occur at any
time In order to capture the state dele
cation for Blaine, his friends promised their
support to. Cameron men for various posi-
lions for their assistance. Blaine, it is said,
is at the back of the movement, and it
contemplates ousting Don Cameron from
the United States Senate Senator Cam
eron, by reason of i'll health, has been away
for long time, and only recently returned
He had heard of the efforts against him, but
declined to believe them, until last week when
Mr. Cooper, chairman of the state committee,
a man who owes all he is politically to Mr..
Cameron, announced that Cameron would
not be candidate for reelection. Then
Mr.. Cameron got his eyes open, and he and
his friends are very indignanttoward Blaine
and his managers. The Blaine men have
promised Cameron's seat in the Senate to
Calvin Wells, and the power of the Admin
istration, in the event of Blaine's election,
is to be welded in his behalf. Already the
Blaine men have defeated several Cameron
men for nomination for the Senate, and war
has begun in local way. Such under
handed work is to be resented by Cameron
and his supporters, and Blaine may be
knitted to such an extent as to lose Penn
sylvania. 1t would be no difficult thing to
do, as there is considerable revolt at his
nomination already. If Cameron chooses,
the scales can easily be turned against him.

THROWING AWAY YOUR VOTE.
Are You a Moral Coward.

The following is from the Ypsilanii
(Mich,) Commercial, one Of the oldest and
staunchest Republican papers in the State
1t cannot longer stomach the Republican
party and its candidates and supports the
Prohibition candidates
''As am excuse for not voting conseien-
tiously, for principle we know no excuse
more weak and contemplate II is ul-
worthy person with any pretence to man
hood, and what makes it more contempt
bic is the excuse Ito keep the Other party
out" As though God was not at the helm.
The motto of the ''old abolition guard,
the men who made the Republican party
possible and the overthrow of slavery
certainty, was Duty is ours Results are
Gods If you are afraid To do your duty
and vote on principle against great moral
wrong. afraid that God will not bring good
out OF Your fidelity, never preach another
sermon ON faith. stop praying at your fan
lily affairs and in social circles, Publish to
Your fellow men that you have lost trust
in Cod That in years past your testi-
mony was mere pretense and bold by
pocracy. Never utter it aloud again, even
in whispered tones, never think it. The
paltry, the utterly contemplate excuse of
throwing away votes. No vote cast for
principle was ever lost. 1t is registered in
the archives of Jehovah. What an exam
pie for mature christian men to act before
our young men, afraid to throw away my
vote Why, did you know that ON the
basis OF your silly and wicked excuse, all
the grand men who vote ON principle
against slavery up To the election of Abra-
ham Lincoln threw away their votes p
They threw them away rs will the supper
tiers of st. John in this year of grace 1894.
Those votes of moral heroes from 1910 To
1860 Were the first fruits of granler reali-

holes in shame and confusion of face. Let
