A RUN HURRAH At TOPEKA.

The party of Abraham Lincoln, Tho
party of-1he true and LOYAL people OF
this proud, prosperous nation, is being
tried as by fire, tried as whole and
tried in detail: attacked by enenies al
every conceivable point from without
and rended AID torn by strange and
inharmonious elements within. IL
this party of past glories and uueX-
ampled victories survives at all, i. viii
come out more pure, more unseltisl
and more patriotically exalted than
ever before. If il survives in spite oi
the threats and Vaccinations OF lis
whiskey element upon the one hand
and its cranks upon the other, Spar
tan victories and magma charters will
pale before lis record Of deeds and
living principles, and the names Of its
leaders will be enshrined and canon
ized.
Another call for another state con-
vcntion has been issued. Is il not
enough that the party in Kansas
should be stained by the contents of
St. Johns dirty little bubble! that
men who had been honorcd by the
party and trusted for Years. should so
far succeed in rcnding it rs To place 4
blatant copperhead in the chair of the
chief executive! that half of the
county attorneys and sherifIs of the
state should have been elected ayow-
ing as their only platform the deter
mination TO nulliiy and trample upon
enacted laws.
AS we said, call for another state
convention has been issued, to meet in
Topeka on the both day of August, 10
meet the same day that the Democrat
ic state convention meets. This call
is TO all Republicans who voted for
Click two years ago, and is called in
the name of temperance. Ii is TO be
known as the RcsubmissiOn Republic
can State convention. Ii means, if
IL means anything, the defeat of the
Republican party in Kansas. Ii
means the defeat of an unanimous
nominee of the Republican party. 1t
means the defeat of a man for gov
crnor whose record is so honored. SO
bright that nothing but praise was
ever ELECTED from il from friend or foe.
II means the defeat of a man who has
devoted his whole life TO the best in
terests of the state of Kansas. II
means the crushing out of a patriot
who fought for what we now enjoy
and the elevation of another who
staid at home and rejoiced in the de-
feats of his ncighbor and mourned
over his victories. Ii means that Kan
sas is TO be represented IN the United
States senate by some stay-at-home,
of Democratic Click.
II means oil these things and much
more if il means anything.
This move sprung from the hearts
Of Click and his coharts and was first
suggested by the Democratic organ of
the state. The Republicans who may |
respond to the call know that further
Of the Republican party in
Kansas means simply defeat of that
party. An Independent ticket by
whatever name, can only weaken the
party and fusion ticket
must tend to the same result, and we
IRE surprised that any man who
claims to be Republican could lend
his name TO such call. or that any
nan who has been either honored or
trusted by, or who believes in a single
Icnet of, the Republican party's plat
orm, should consent to meet on the
anne day aud in the same place with
ne Democratic party.
The Commonwealth suggests that
rood may come out of this step. There
, no possible good that can come out
4 coalition Of Democrats and Re
and It will prove the politi-
al suicide for every Republican that
ouches or recognizes the Janus-faced.
