Mr. Morrison remarked to me: "
will swear that the national platform
shall never advocate the abolition of
internal revenue taxes so long as the
government owes one dollar of war
debt if I can exert influence enough
to prevent it. The internal revenue
was a war measure and should live
until the last dollar of the war debt is
paid." o I
This implies that so long as the war
debt remains unpaid the democratic
party will not advocate the repeal of
the internal revenue system. All re
duction must therefore come through
the tariff taxes. Is capital and labor
prepared for this The Republican
says, most emphatically, No.
OUR RECORD.
In 18T6 the Republican Party put
out a platform j nominated Fremont
for President and came very near elec
ting him. The campaign slogan then
was "Fremont, Freedom and Free
Kansas." Since (then we have passed
through many trials but it is worthy
of note that from' that day to this the
Republican party have never put a
plank in a platform that has not either
lecome the law jof the land or is an
issue to-day. They have never aban
doned any position taken by them
from that day to this. -Please contrast
that record with! the Democratic par
ty's and say which is the more worthy
of confidence and support.

it now looks as though these immoral

"SLOPPING OVER."
We beg to remind our very zealous
democratic friends that such disorder
ly and unseemly conduct as was shown
while Mr. Tuiner was speaking upon
political subjects at the Court House
last week cannot be defended upon
any errounas. reo speocn goes witn

fear Jiidcre ! Fowle's crreat speech on
the "Constitution'?' did not impress
our friends as it should. Mr. Turner
was long an honored member of the
democratic party : he still has many
personal friends and if the Bourbon
party will "slop over" and add ; their
personal approval of such conduct
they wll have less votes to count next
November: that's all.
