To the Editor Of The Register
Fairmont, w. Va, January 1G.-Will

it was stated that the ladies OF cur

great Republican there laid down for
his party and for those who should
come after him.
No man or set of men have since
that time been authorized to modify
these words or to lead that party away
from the spirit of their meaning.
1t is, as it were, a new command
naent which he has given US, to stand
firm in defense of the common people,
that those who died for liberty may
not have died in vain, that we may
live as a Republic.
These words of Mr.. Lincoln lie deep
ly engrayen upon the hearts Of the
masses, without regard to party. The
heart Of this great patriot beat with
sympathy for the toilers. and with
love for mankind.
He annunciated as good Republican
doctrine that the people need not be
feared. FOR the people are fair and
honest and only demand there shall be
equal rights and opportunities for all,
but special privileges for none.
Throughout his entire career he PIN
ned his faith TO
TIE COMMON PEOPLE.
It is the bounden duty Of such Of us
as believe in the principles laid down
by this great Republican leader to fol-
low as he pointed the way.
If the party has been led away from
these principles, it is the duty Of those
whose words may influence and who
love the party Of Lincoln, to make
themselves heard and to lead it back
to the Magma Charta Of self govern
aent.
1t is the misfortune Of great parties
when long in power, that to it flock
for mercenary and selfish motives all
those who desire to enrich themselves
by legislation which this party can
give them.
So to the Republican party there
have aocked during the past few years
many birds of Ill omen, undesirable
tenants, who are making the house SO
foul that they are driving out the
rightful owners
These undesirable acquisitions, the
masses of the party who are to-day
sust as honest, just as patriotic. just
as sincere as they ever were, would be
only too glad to get rid Of for the
party's good.
make in my mind no difference be
tween the integrity of the common
people in one party or another. Those
who have nc ak to grind, who do not
make living by party professions or
party favors, can all Of them be trust
ed with doing
WHAT IS ABOUT RIGHT.
It is party leadership which Is most
always az fault when things go wrong.
The average man who has belonged
to party for a great many years,
will stand great deal before he leaves
it. This fact has often been taken
advantage Of by those who control
party, directly or indirectly, and people
subrait to wha. they know is wrong
and to policies and platforms with
which in their inInost heart they Go
not agree, for party's sake
