the hideous mockery Of high license Is a

q The party that had done almost everything
that was lone against slavery was the Wing
party, and yet the men who started the Re
publican party killed it, Killed what ?
II The You're means slavery, it IS correct, but
il evidently wants to be understood as say
ing that the men who started the Republican
party killed the Wing party and the asser-
ton thas the Wing party did almost every
thing that was done against slavery, Is a
new discovery in American history.
When il suits the purpose OF The Voiee,
however, 70 compare the position Of the
Wing party, in regard to abolition, with that
ofthe Republican party in regard to prohi-
bition, among other things quotes this from
a paper Of the times This was the plea
which led tens of thousands in 1870 TO sup
port the slave power, wrapped in the Harri-
son and Tyler ticket and the same il to be
urged with utmost energy in 1854. It con

of an act that ought not 10 be committed

almost everything that was done against

Here is another utterance Of The Teics
sam Smasls vote in Georgia last Wednes-
day wasn't small. The Democratic vote
footed 1850, the Prohibition f.423, the Re

the Third party down there. Vow where is

Georgia hadn't thrown away their votes on a
a third ticket. the Democrats would have
been defeated. OF course. they are a Demo

This Is quite appropriate FOR the organ Of
a party whose candidate for vice president
openly haasts that he was a Shareholder. and
a secessiouist but it does not explaia how

Here Is a fragrant sample Of the campaign
literature of the thini party, which PIumes
Itself upon having a monopoly Of ali the
principle, parity and p;eiy IN American poll
ties. Bishop Newman, Of the Methodist
Church. recently declared that he would vote
for Harrison and Morton. and s,idei Il

ing to this. an advocate Of Prohibition,
who edits one of the organs Of the laird
Party, emitted The following sweet scented
screed 10 his journal The Wisconsin
Prohibitionist.
The 0llowing IS from the advanced sheets
ofthe Bishops book Of common prayer
"Oh, Lord, Thou knowest that have
had about as mach attention from the Re-
publican party as il IS the good lot Of any
Methodist minister to receive, and Thou
knowest also that no man who has enjoyed
these privileges can leave the party without
being called n s0rehsat. a traitor Snd = suive-

for 4 man Of my standing b vote the same
ticket with tens Of thousands Of saloon THUS
