ABRAHAM LINCOLN delivered his
first political speech in 1892, when a
candidate for the Legislature Of Hi
nois 1t was as follows: Gentlemen,
Fellow-Citizens: / presume you know
who l am. / am humble Abraham
Lincoln. / have been solicited by
many friends to become a candidate
for the Legislature. My politics can
be briefly stated, l am in favor Of
the internal improvement system and
a high protective tariff. These are
my sentiments and political princi-
pies. If elected, / shall be thankful;
if not, it will be all the same" The
same issue confronts the American
people to-day which confronted Lin
coin in 1882. Is not the example Of
humble Abraham Lincoln" patriot
and martyr, better one to follow
than that of Calhoun, the slavc-dri-
yer, or Jefferson Davis, the seces-
SiOniSt?

OF which the Republicans received 23j,
and the Democrats 1913. This year. UNI
der the new apl ortionment, the cleo

it will requ re 243 to elect. Where can
the Democrats obtain that many!

from the SIX new Sta os, and tho re-

GLoBE-DEMocRAr: The lesson of Il

DEMOCRAT: The lesson of the
Georgia election is so plain that the
average voter can easily comprehend
it. There was supposed to be a for
midable anti-DemOcratic vote in the
State, but the returns show that it
did not materialize. The Peoples
party has been beaten by majority
that fully refutes the idea Of a new
departure in Georgia politics; and
the explanation Of this result is obvi-
Gus at glance. There is reason
TO believe that large proportion Of
the white citizens are dissatisfied
with the present condition Of things,
but they are evidently unwilling to
seek Il remedy by repudiating the
Democratic party. They affiliate
with the Farmers Alliance TO the ex-
tent Of talking loudly about the ne
cessity OF legislation for the benefit
Of agriculture, but when election day
comes they march to the polls and
vote as they have always voted.
Their promises to the Peoples party
do not count. In short, they are
Democrats first and Alliance men af-
terward. They will not desert the
party with which they have been
heretofore identified or contribute in
any way TO its discontinue. II
the members Of the Peoples party in
the North who were formerly Re.
publicans have proper sense Of self
respect they will resent this decep-
tion by refusing to aid in the election
OF Democratic President. If the
Southern men who profess to be in
sympathy with the principles and
purposes Of the new party make it a
point to go on voting in the old way,
then certainly the Northern men who
are supporting Weaver may justiflably
abandon him and resume their former
political allegiance. That is the
manifestly sensible and patriotic
course for them to pursue. Either
Harrison or Cleveland will be elected;
and surely no man who has ever been
Republican can honestly and con-
sistently prefer the latter to the
former. 1t is not reasonable to sup
pose that men who left the Republi-
can party in the interest of the re-
forms projected by the Alliance had
any intention of joining the Demo
cratic party; and yet the conditions
place them in the attitude of practi-
cally taking that step. A vote for
Weaver in Northern State is votS
for Cleveland, as the case now stands.
Let the Republicans who have strayed
into the Populist fold give serious
consideration to this fact.

CLEVELAND floundered miserably
in the paragraph of his letter of ac-
ceptance referring to the suffrage.
He was compelled by the stress of
party necessity, to say something
about the "force bill" spool, and I'M
truthfully declared that the Republi-
can party is seeking "to interfere
with and control the suffrage OF the
State through Federal agencies.
This is not true, and he knows it
none better. Aside from this, lie
knows that the Republican party
does not propose to pass a Federal
election bill.

affect wages, workingmen are con-
tinually emigrating from free trade

If the soldiers Of the Mexican war
were not more worthy OF the recog-

ity bill, pensioning the needy sur
vivors Of the war to save the Union?

in ITSELF and, Notwithstanding
courts, spiritual inspiration was
not wanting. 1t is house of 10 rooms,
well furnished. On the first floor are the
parlorS, assembly room and cafe. The Sec
ond floor is given up to billiards and loung-
ing rooms, while on the third are sleeping
apartments for those who miss the last car.

have contributed something to the make up
of the house. The great feature yet to come
is a door mat that will come to meet one on
the threshold and dry his feet before he
enters.

ably assisted by Secretary J. Z. Hall and

A SMALL FLOUR OUTPUT.
The Northwestern Miller's Weekly Report
of MinpeapoJis' BIG Industry.

The Northwestern MiIIer's Weekly Report
of Minneapolis Big Industry.
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 1.-The northeastern
Miller says:
The flour output last week was the small
est since September. This was due to all
the mills being shut down for Christmas,
and some of them also on Saturday. At the
same time the production is much heavier
than year ago. The output last week was
149,OS0 barrels, averaging 24,Sl7 barrels daily.
against Dol 80 barrels the previous week;
102 $50 barrels for the corresponding time In
$780, and los $50 barrels in 1889. The mills are
running strong again, but it viii not con-
tinue through the week. There were IL in
operation to-day, and they were running at
the rate of about so 900 barrels per "a hours.
About 900 barrels of this will be cut of to-
day by five mills shutting down for the rest
of the week.
Millers say that there has been an i'm
provement in the supply of cars. The flour
market for a week back is reportedto have
been without much life. The downward
tendency of wheat, together with the effect
of the holidays, has caused buying to be re-
stricted to small limits. Foreign business
is light Low grades continue to be most
difficult kind to sell. and bakers are only
trifie better. Domestic trade seems to be ~
little better than foreign, though very little
can be said in favor of either. Some millers
claim that q good deal of needless cutting
in prices is being done.
