BosroN, April 22.-To Hon. L. G..
Houk: The party at large look to this
convention to-day with eager interest.
1t will set up the standard of victory OF
1892. 1t will be the faithful representa-
tive of what will be in the hearts and
ambition of the people. 1t will regard
not merely the craftsmanship of COM
merce and money, but also the states
manship of humanity. These are
questions lying nearer the hearts of
the American people to-day than the
price of tin cup or whether the color OF
money of the realm shall be yellow or
white. The greater questions are those
of human liberty, the protection of the
weak in their rights; the insurance OF the
constitution of republican form OF gov
ernment to the several states, for without
it and as absolute security and peace to
the poorest citizen and family on the
Yazoo as the richest citizen on the Hud-
son. The Republican party was not sim
ply great gladiator raised up in the
emergency to conquer the rebellion and
free the slave and then pass away. 1t still
has greater and mightier things to do. AS
long as Democracy lives and resists the
full Interpretation and concession of the
rights OF all men, Republicans must live
and call it's work unfinished. Unsettled
questions have no pity for the repose o.
nations aud neither the betraying COW
ardice of a senate, more careful of COM
merce than of human rights. On these
higher lines and greater questions the
party can retain its favor with the people
and its power with the government. Il
is not party which can live on simply
commercial or sordid issues. 1t needs
still that animation and inspiration of the
heart of Lincoln in his love for humanity
which is larger and better in all noble
things than the animation of trade or the
thrifts of shop or the profits of commerce
