THE NAME.

Partisans and patriots will prop
erly designate the voters at the
next presidential election. People
who think more of their party than
of their country will continue to
vote as they have been accustomed
to vote, for whatever candidates
are sci up by their party leaders,
be they Democratic, Republican or
Populist. The real patriot will
look beyond his party and cast his
vote where it will best subserve
public welfare. Party slavery ia a
most dangerous thing In republics
it is even more destructive to free
institutions than was African
slavery 10 its time. 1t Is a servi-
tnde often based upon abject
coyardice, and is more threatening
to liberty than pulsory tervice,
because more insinusting and de-
ceptiYa. Men, from the best OF
motives. frequently vote for the
destruction of their country, bat it
is at the command of party. II love

aud our liberty perpetual. The
worst enemy this country viii
ever have is the citizen Gho So
far forgets bis duty as to stand 10y

people asked, but he always gave an
