POMONA, Los ANGELES, CAL,
November 11th, 1887.
The joyful news Of Ohio's loyalty and
trueness to the soldier and to herself
bounds over to the Pacific coast.
The town site Of Lordsburg was first
offered to purchasers In May, 1887, and
Icopy the following from the I.ordsburg
Eagle, weekly, six-column newspaper:
"The elections just past are the prelude
the grand entree, % it were-to the
great aggregation Of shows that will take
place next year with thirty-eisht rings
under one canvas, with the probable
addition Of one or two more rings"
It 10 truly gratifying to note the sub.
stantial manner our people have Of ex.
pressing their loyalty TO and fond recol-
lection Of the party and the men who
purchased with their blood and their
valiant and heroic service the liberty of
millions Of human beings held - bond
men and chattels, and saved our grand
and glorious United States of America
from disruption. And does not the Re.
publican party advocate the same prin.
ciples to-day that it did from 81 to '85-
that these United States shall be one
and undivided, and that every citizen
/. shall be free man, and his interests -
well - his person shall be protected?
Although our people are liable to take
abnormal notions, it is not ct all surpris-
ing to see them come back to true and
tried principles, and sustain true and
tried men by their ballots.
Talking with member of the Prohi.
bition political party (it is not right to
give them the name of Prohibitionists,
for every true man is . prohibitionist,
irrespective Of his political view, he
said: "It is no wonder that the soldiers
and those actively engaged in the Re.
publican party during the conflict should
still continue to be Republican,. But
show me why We who were small boys
during the war are in any way duty
bound to that party"
Ianswered him: "My friend, where
would you and I be to-day if the princi.
pies of the Republican party had not
been sustained? If those principles
parchased for US, the best nation in the
world, and the same principles are I'D.
vocated and sustained to-day by the Re.
publican party, We most certainly are in
duty bound to stand by what makes ua
what We are"
Leave the heinous crime of human
slavery out of view and imagine, if you
can, what would be our condition II the
South had succeeded in seeding in 81.
Instead of one grand government, two
to sustain would have been the result
two national debts would have had to
be paid; two standing armies and navies
each much larger than the one We now
have would have been necessary on &C.
count of the jealousy Of one Of the other;
and while one might have been engaged
in trouble with some foreign country,
the other, from sectional strife, would
have been ready to pounce upon her ;
and who is there to say that now instead
of being the pride of and model for the
civilized nations of the world, We would
not b bound down and the would.be
two nations tributary to European
power?
r 1t not safe still to trust the party
which purchased by its leadership our
boastsd-of privileges and position? Do
We not owe it our support - debt Of
gratitude. II from no other reasonf
