APPEAL TO HONEST RE.
FUBLICANS.

Carl Schurz is making some telling
speeches in the great Eastern cities. At
Brooklyn, recently, he closed his address
with this powerful appeal to his fellow
Republicans.
Republicans, / yield to none of you, in
pride of the spirit of the great achieve
ments of the Republican party in the
past. There are undoubtedly men before
ms who took an active part in the great
Republican campaign Of 1860. l know
you will feel your pulse grow quicker
when you remember the joyous glow
with which the enthusiastic conscious
ness of a noble cause filled our hearts;
with what eagerness we went into the
conflict, having nothing to apologize for
and nothing to conceal; with what afec.
Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1884-09-28

ton and confidence We commended to
the sulfrages of the people our standard
bearer, Abraham Lincoln. Remember
how, under Republican guidance, the
American Union was washed clean oil
the stain Of slavery, and the great retel-
lion was vanquished, and Abraham
Lincoln was borne once more on our
shield, with the same faith and the same
affectionate confidence, for the trials OF
power had given to his honesty still
more radiant lusture.
And now, after "a years OF uninter-
rupted ascendency, what has the party
come to? Look at it, the party OF moral
ideas, presenting as its great leader and
representative a man whose unclean
record it cannot deny and dare not face.
Listen to its spokesman, how they dodge
and squirm around that record as some
thing too hot to touch-unfortunate at
torneys, wretchedly troubled by the
feeling that. if they respect themselves,
they must take care not to become lden-
tilted with the public morals of their
client. Watch them, how they use the
tariff question as a great fig leaf which
they streatch and spread to make 1t
cover and hide the crookedness Of their
standard bearer! What a burning shame
and disgrace is thisl Pride of party in
deed! Those who are truly proud OF the
good the party has done will be too
proud to consent to it's degrading perver-
sion into an instrument of evil. II a
great party which abolished slavery and
saved the Republic is to serve as an
instrument to poison the life OF the
same Republic by browning corruption
with its highest honors, then the truly
proud Republicans will wash their hands
