The party of Abraham Lincoln has
become the party Of Morgan. The
principles of liberty have been aban-
doned and Ii Is time for the rank
and file of the party to denounce and
retire from control these men and
henchmen and save the party. We
remember the days when the rcpub-

seems now to be confirmed, IL we
