hibition ticket this year will be the repetition
of the wicked achievement of four years age,
the giving Of New York to the Democrats,
and thus secure the defeat ofthe Republicans.

on, and whether il suits the peculiar notions
ofGeneral Fisk or not, the true, consistent,
and practical friends OF temperance must de-
eide which OF the two parties, the Republi-

Philadelphia Inquirer: Gen. Fisk's letter
of acceptance is published. II would make
a very good Republican campaign document
but as Il plea on behalf of a new political
party it is simply absurd. All that he claims
As the mission Of the Prohibition party is
being lone by the Republican party without

little. lie does not need to be cautious, for
be has nothing TO conceal he cannot but be
courageous and courteous, for courtesy and
courage are natural TO him. The oftner be

Winona Republican The rebel ~demagogue
Brooks, who is running on the Prohibition
of the most contemplate creatures that the
Almighty ever permitted the breath of life
TO enter. His flippant boast of having been
a traitor to his country, coupled with the
sneering remark that although he had done
many mean things he had never been guilty
of voting for a republican, shows not only
his viperish disposition, bat the small men

90 into history as one of the first soldiers of
the Republic. lie lacked the breadth of
Grant, the Genius of Sherman. the wise but
never strained caution of Meade and the clear
unerring strategy Of Thomas, but he surpass-
cd them ali as 4 leader in action. He could
inspire his command to the most heroic and
even 10 apparently impossible achievement.
as was pOintedly illustrated in his grasp Of
victory from the very jaws of defeat in the
valley after his memorabl ride from Winches-
ter, and again in the ~tireless and superbly
directed pursuit of Ice that made surrender
a necessity and on all the various tests of
his soldierly qualities since the war, he has
widened respect for the honors conferred upon
him. In civil and social life he was one of
the most unobstrusive of our heroes, and
every patriotic heart will moarn the delth Of
Lieutenant General Sheridan.
