A safe belonging to John s. Matthews
was being moved up the stairway to hfs
Office in the Warren block. It was pro-
ceeding on its journey as complacently as
a New England tourist in a palace car,
when it broke from its moorings and
rushed down the stairway ike an express
train.
When the smoke OF battle cleared away
the bottom of the stairway showed unmis-
takably the effects of the encounter, and
the sidewalk looked like a pugilist who
had endeavored to stand before John
Longfellow Sullivan for four rounds.
The safe was minus a few wheels and
was considerably unused up. The com
mittee of forty-6ve adjourned from the
corridors of the Inter Ocean to view the
proceedings, and after duly celebrating,
returned to their quarters to render a ver-
dict, but as yet failed to agree. No one
was SO much disappointed as the coroner,
who has been waiting anxiously for the
last month an opportunity to hold an in
quest.

other that the Nation has ever
known, the Republican party has
never had a man or an organization
of men in it that it feared to bring
to trial and condemn for wrong do

when loss of power was certain, to
expose and punish unworthy men,
no matter how powerful nor what
their services to the party had
been.
1t has not waited for its oppon-

WHY \ MAN SHOULD BE 4 REPUB-
LICAN,


LICAN.
Gratitude is not the basis of the
Republican party's claim for sup
port. Past services, no matter how
glorious, are not sufficient reason for
unfaltering allegiance to the Homi
nees and principles of the party
which has performed those services.
Previous good conduct is indeed the
strongest foundation upon which to
build credit and confidence, but it
is not everything required. The
merchant who asks for a heavy loan,
or the man who desires to have con-
fided to him great responsibilities or
trusts of any kind, must not only be
able to point to good record in the
past, but he must make it manifest
that he can acquit himself equally
we'll of new demands that may be
made upon him.
If, for instance, another war were
to break out, it would not be suffi-
cient that Gems. Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan had won brilliant victories
in the past. We would want some
assurance that their powers were
equal to the new emergencies.
Leaving the question of advanced
years out Of the question, it might
be possible that in the new conflict
their sympathies might not be in
the right direction, or the art of
war might have outgrown their
methods.
So it is not all sufficient that the
Republican party has fought heroic
and successful battles for the right
in the past,-that every great issue
found it on the side approved by the
wise judgement and the conscience
of mankind, and that it battled I'M
finchingly. for that side. Glorious
as were it's victories for National
unity, and good government of all
kinds, these do not constitute any
claim whatever for the perpetual
allegiance of even those who most
warmly upheld it in those great
struggles.
Its past record is chiefly valuable
not as mortgage on the country's
gratitude, but as a demonstration
beyond doubt that it is the most
reliable and fit engine with which
70 accomplish any good work in the
future. It is because it shows by a
host of tests that no matter what
the emergency, and no matter how
unexpected or grave the issue pre-
sented, the Republican party will
infallihly take the course dictated
by wisdom and justice, and make
that course prevail against all the
evil elements that can be arrayed
against it,

CORRUPTION"

ply such epithets as the above to
Republicans ought to refresh their
memories. Was it not Democrat

see that made way with over a

Treasurer Of Alabama that not long
since stole over a hundred thousand
dollars of that States money? Was
it not a Democratic Treasurer of
Georgia who pocketed over a hun
dred thousand of Georgia's money.
Was it not Democratic Treasurer
of Arkansas who stole over one
hundred thousand dollars and was
afterwards elected Governor? And
finally to come close home, were
they not Democrats that got away
with large amount of Davidson
County's money? Instances with

raise the duty on motion of Mr..
Converse, and the attempt made in
the Morrison bill to cut down the
duty still further, have not been
misunderstood. The majority for
the Republican ticket in Vermont
ought TO be large enough to encour-
age the defenders of protection in
other States where the issue is doubt
full.
Ex-senator Chaffee of the Repub-
lican national committee predicts
that Cleveland will be a worse beat
en- man than Greeley. He says "Col-
orado will give Republican major
ity of not less than 5000, and more
probably 5000. In fact I am not
altogether pleased with the situa
ton. The Democrats are too de-
moralized and divided to suit me.
1 am really afraid that Cleveland
will fly the track before the election
comes off. The bolt against Cleve-
land is assuming such vast proper
tions that it is not improbable that
the National Democratic committee
may withdraw Cleveland"
The Democrats, while making
absurd claims to Ohio, know per-
fectly well that the State will give
Republican majority of from $4,000
to 10000 in October, and this knowl-
edge accounts for the stories they
are starting concerning the importa-
ton by the Republicans of Kentuc-
ky negroes into that State for voting
purposes. There is nothing like
providing beforehand an explana-
ton for defeat, even If the explana-
ton has not even the shadow Of a
truthful basis.
