Principles to the Front.

Political parties in this country worthy
to exist must have some great tnnda-
mental principles underlying them, which
have firm hold on the convictions of
those who compose them. The Republi-
can party had it, origin in great national
emergency and the spirit OF liberty and
impartial justice, subject to law and order,
was its principle of life and continue To
be- its vital force. There are those who
seem to think that the chief object of
parties IL To elect certain men to office.
But the less flauagans there are, the
better for a party worthy of the faith
and devotion of American frcemcu. The
Republican party has the most emphatic
reasons for making it. principles and
measures its foremost objects aud for
suboriinating to these all individual
ambitions and desires for place. Mem

required by the constitution and the laws.

and to enforce the laws.

ties, ii it would win splendid triumph

of its first decade, do not fully realize how
necessary il still Is to keep it to its high
level of moral integrity aud patriotism.
The signs are suspicious of success. and
it only needs that the Republican party
prove true to itself to restore the National
Government to its control. Unity. moral
sincerity, and loyalty are of first necessity.
The Cleveland democracy has descended
nearly TO the depths of the Pierce aud Blu

the best interests and the highest aims of
the country. The majority of the ocople,

the best citizens of the Nation, are sick of
Clevelandism even to disgust This public
feeling is even stronger than it was against
Van Burenism in the memorable year of
1910, when took place such an overwhelm-
ing defeat of Free Trade and its unserupu-
lous partisans. Victory is clearly within
the grasp of the Republicans, ii they will
act in the spirit of true men thoroughly
