IN THE NAME or DECENCY.

There was hope that this would be clean
and decent campaign There was no room FOR
offensive personalities. There were no un-
sovorv scandals TO be brultcd. There would be
no mud.throwng The fighting would be done
by argument, on grounds of reason. That was
the hope. There seems danger now that 1t Will
prove TO be vain. The Populo-Democratic Re
pudiationists have already introduced into the
compaIgn an element of gross indecency, one
Of the most revolving in the history Of American
politics.
Not content with reckless blasphemes Of
spcech. they have transformed the most sacred
and solemn embems Of the Christian religion
into insignia of party warfare. last week 'he
country was treated to the spectacle OF haI-
drunken, bowling mob parading behind an up
lifted Cross and Crown Of Thorns. There IL
now promise that the performance VIII DE TO
heated innumerable times, all over the land
The symbols of Our Lords Passion, which
Christians regard with veneration and others
with respect. are 10 be borne aloft by polticai
paraders, among torches and transparencies
and party banners The Cross and Crown or
Thorns are to be hung In every barroom VIII
dow. and faunted at every massmeeting, ana
be added TO the political cartoonlst's stock-in-
trade.
Is it possible that such sacrilege can be tol-
Grated in a cvized-nOt to say Christiah-
land? The Presidential candidate, in whose
name and for whose advantage these Things
are being done, is himself processing Chris
,ian. and an active member OF one OF the lead
ing churches Is IT possible that he can regard
such desccration Of holy things with any feel
ing other than horror and deestation?

The air motor may not be what Is wanted. put
the experiment Is a hopeful indication. The
managers have frequently said that they dld
not light their cars with electricity because
they might at some time run the whole road
with electric motors. With the use OF air
motors q possibility, It RAY be that they VIII
consider II unnecessary to walt longer Oeiore

No one will be SO foolish as to imagine that
the credit Of the city is not good because takers
were not found for the S4OO,O00 Of bonds offered
by the Controller yesterday Proposals were
received for only S121OOO. and the financial
officers of the city felt somewhat apprehensive
regarding the larger Offering to be made to-
day. when bids will be received for nearly
x4oOOOOO in bonds. Controller Fitch's pub
lie statement however. attracted the favorable
attention of capitalists and the indications ia''
In the afternoon were that there would be Il
fair number Of bids for these bonds. IbouptFss
Yesterdays experience shows the effect or the
free silver agitation and the feeling of dstrust
that prevails on that account.
The parties to the Popocratic-Silver alliance
are in peek OF tfOuDIe aife"u!' """ '"''' VIM
culties bid fair to increase as the campaign
advances. The new chairman of the fopui'st
National Committee is Senator Marion Butler
whose selection has caused marked dlssatisfae-
ton among some members Of the party lie Is
credited with the idea OF establishing head
quarters in Washington. and Is capable OF car
rying out the idea despite the protests OF ex-
perienced politicians. The Silver National Com
mittee means to act as tender to the Demo
cratic Committee, and will have It's headquar-
ters in the same city. AS Il matter OF fact, II
will be a mere sideshOw.

FROM AN EARLY PORTRAIT OF LINCOLN. q man named O., who had been conspicuously attentive to Mir. Lincoln during his visit there, and who kept a carpet store. applied to him for foreign mission. Tie application, however. was not granted, and the president after ward speaking of the matter to another Philadelphian said: ''I suppose, if ap- pointed, Mr. O., when he returned to this country from lis post, would have had q new sign painted for his store, Administer from Biuxelles (ex- minister from B1ussels), 6 bonmot worthy the wit Of Sydney Smith CT a Jeffrey
 When one considers the restriction of his early environments, the lack of edu- cational advantages and the utter ab- sence of all romantic or heroic ele- ments, <" one is left to wonder where he learned or how he attained that marvel ously simple and yet vigorous style of expression which distinguishes him from so many men of greater preten- sions and supposedly greater renown. It is astounding to note how well he stands in this respect when compared to some of the profeun6est thinkers and ablest writers of the day. Here is the law of progress as set forth by the e1ni- nent Professor John Eiske: The eyolp- tion Of society is a continuous establish ment of psyphical relations within the community in conformity to physical and psychlcal relations arising in the en- vironment, during which both the community and the environment pass from . state of relatively indefinite, in- coherent homogeneity to a state of rela- lively definite, coherent heterogeneity. and during which the constituent units of the community become even more distinctly indiyiduated. " Observe how a clear headed. self educated man like Lincoln illustrates the same law: Many independent men everywhere in the states a few years back i'll their lives were hired laborers The prudent penniless beginner in the world labors for wages awhile, saves g surplus, with which to buy tools CT land for himself, then labors on his own account another while and at length hires another new beginner to help him. This is the just and generous and prosperous system which opens the way to all, gives hope to all, and consequent energy and prog ress and improvement of condition to all

 Although Mir Lincoln rarely told sto- ries i'll his public and political utter ances yet he had an endless list of jokes and incidents about his political cam paigns.

Major Whitney says DO one could use facsimile in his presence without his invariably rejoinding sick family" 4 vain and adventurous fel- low and 0 conspicuous adherent of Doug las in Kansas, who figured considerably in the papers, signing his name H.

 How fine is the wit in the 1aconie ex- pression of th5s letter, copied by me from the original:
 EXECUTIVE MANSION, Oct. F, 1861. Major Ramsey;
 My DEAR sIE-The lady--the bearer of this says she has two sons who want to work. Set them at it. Wanting to work is so rare a merit it should be encouraged. Yours truly,

felt that he was able to fill it credit ably, he never concealed that faes from his friends or nlisrepresented hir. elf to the public. Believing after the q etion, which closed the campaign of 1S5 l, that he stood some chance of reaching the United States senate, he began to set things up i'll Egypt. The following characteristic letter will illustrate his methods of campaigning:
 CLINTON, De Witt County, Nov Il, 1854. J. Harding, Esq.
 My DEAR SIR-I have a suspicion that q Whig has boen elected to the legislature from hdg2r. If 1bis is not so, then-nix cum arous -bl1t Ii Ii Is sg, then could yoa not make q mark with h1ia for me for United States sen ator? really have some chance. @ Yours truly A. LINCOLN.
 During one of his visits to Chicago he was the guest Of Q friend, Mr D., whose residence was in the fashionable part of the city. It was in the summer of 1858 and about the time of the cam paign with Douglas. He was sitting with his host and family on the front veranda facing 9 small park one evening when he noticed among tine children Q little fellow who was fat and excep- tionally short of stature That boy, :" he observed roguishly, reminds me of a man named Moore in Springfield, who suffered the loss of both feet ill rail road accident and whose legs are now so short that when he walks in the snow the seat of his trousers wipes up his footprints. ''
 The next dag Mir. B., whose hos pitality he had enjoyed, accompanied Lincoln to the depot where he was to take the train for Springfield Hunting up the colored porter who had charge of the sleeping car, MT. B. introduced Lincoln, saying, ''I have brought my friend Lincoln, who will ride down with you to Springfield tonight. Make him comfortable, for he is friend of your people and would make you free if he could. " Some time later Mir D., happening to meet the porter on the street in Chicago, inquired how Lincoln enjoyed his ride. "Oh, well enough, D said the porter After he had left Chi cago and he had been in his berth awhile he called fir a darniag needle, and when I asked him what he needed it for he answered, To pick from my ears these pillows, which are es much too small as my ears are too large. ;"
 He used to relate many amusing stories at the expense of an Indiana con- gressman who was renowned for the ex- treme care of his physical person and his fastidioas attention to dress. The latter, General S--, had been invited to accompany the president elect and his party to Washington in February,
