TIT ruRrnERANcE OF PRINCIPLES.

TIif FURTHERANCE OF PRINCIPLES.
The principles,as expounded by Robt.
M. La Toilette, for which Vernon coun-
ty republicans have SO nobly fought
and still so staunchly stand, are en-
Craven upon the banner of the republic
can party of this state. To carry them
into effect it is the beunden duty of
every republican of every community to
assist. To commence at the fountain
head, it is the plain duty of republicans
to attend the party caucuses next Sat
urday, and send only men loyal to thos
principles to our assembly convention,
and nominate as standard bearer, one in
whom there is no guile nor shade OF
turning. In the Legislature, must the
final battle for these principles be fought.
The trenches are ours, now for Moro
castle.

And now the car of all the Russians
demonstrates his humane character in
railing upon all the European powers
i'r the converting of peace congress
and the reduction of the excessive arma-
'nents that weigh upon nations. The
cars proposal is far reaching in effect
and advocates the maintenance of gen.
eral peace among civilized nations and
US preservation as an object of interna-
tional policy. This is likely to produce
good results throughout all Europe and
will be a great relief to the people, who
have more and more difficulty in bear
ing.

such immediate legislation and constitutional

We demand the enactment Of such laws as
Will compel corporations to pay their Just
proportion of taxes and We demand the cleo

We condemn the payment of any money to
public officials in advance of salary earned
and the practice of making the state treasury
a local office for politicians.
