true patriotism that, watering every root

Says the Chicago Inter- Ocenn "The
new party does not meet with that en-
couragement its founders SO confidently
expected. To speak plainly, it is receiv-
ing very shabby treatment. For some
cause or other the obstinate masses will
not rise, and the soul-stirring utteranees
OF those patriotic orators who sacrifice
self that they may go about doing good,
fall on listless ears and uninterested or
dlsgusted faces. Even large majority
of the Democrats, who ought to be ready
to embrace anything rather than retain
their old name. refuse to touch the thing
and say they got all they wanted of
these new departures last fall -

paper, does..not chose to blind it's eyes
to the situation in Ohio, and candidly
says:


Governor Noyes will be reelected and
the whole Republican ticket will be
elected with him and one of the first
results of this will be the transfer of
Governor Noyes from the Governors S
Office, at Columbus, to Mr.. Thurman's
seat in the Senate. This everybody in
Ohio knows-the Democrats as we'll as
the Republicans. 1t has been a long.
long time since we saw q Democratic
Governor of Ohio, and there is hardly
single intelligent Democrat in the state
Who ever expects to see one again.
Still the Democracy are told they must
fight forever to be forever whipped This
may suit the leaders of the party, who
do not know what is to become of them
selves it the party goes to peaces but the
voters are getting tired of it,


The Republican party never stood high
er in the public estimation than at pre-
sent. The reason for this is. it has justi6-
ed by its acts the confidence of the people
1t has stood the test of more than twelve
years oe power, and during that time has
given birth to measures that have added
largely to the strength, wealth. and in
fuence Of the Republic. Since the
formation of the Government no party
has been called upon to stand strain as
severe as the one put upon the Repabli-
can party. Both its legislative and
executive branches have been called upon
to face difficulties almost insurmountable;
yet with firm and patriotic hand, it
guided the nation through its troubles,
and to-day it enjoys the reward due its
seryices-the continued confidence and
support of the people.


To retain this support and to gain
the active sympathy of tho thousands of
young men who are yearly becoming
entrusted with the privilege ofovoting,
our party must put forward its very best
men for office. We need something
more than ability in our public Office


we need sterling honesty to make and
administer our laws. The party should
steer clear of political tricksters, for the
election Of one of these slippery gentle
men will more than offset the good that
a dozen worthy officials can do. The
honest, intelligent, and patriotic citizens
should attend the local conventions and
primary meetings. By this practice,
good men will be selected, and the party
strengthened. The surest way to purify
the ballot is to place none but worthy men
in nomination. Our principles are right;
the purposes of onr party are commend
able; it now remains for the people to
see that the right men are selected to
MAINTAIN our principles and carry out our
Objects Washington Republic
