Honored . by tbe ' Up, Dishonored by the - Jeed The Republican Party Turps Its Back Upon Lincoln and Follows Inger soll and Shook to Its Kuln. "The' Republicans of the United States, assembled - by their delegates In national convention; pause on the threshold of their, proceedings to honor the memory of their first i great leader, the immortal champion of liberty and the rights of, the people, Abraham Lincoln." -; So read the opening lines of the late Republican ! national platform. - But of the Republican party it may, be written: "This people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me." Lin coln was not the product of r but the creator of the ' Republican party. The "immortal champion" of a mighty moral principle, the '. leader of a third minority party against both G. O. P.'s of 1850, 1860. Would Lincoln have ever become "the im mortal champion of liberty"! had he persist ently , ignored the great "moral issue? of his timo. and advocated free trade or protection? He staked his all in; defense of the great "moral issue. " ' How is his memory honored by a party that espouses every other issue while persistently re fusing the great moral issue? Is it lip or heart honor? Let Lincoln speak, and Re publican 'honor of his memory" be tested by his immortal utterances. - - : 'I think slavery is wrong, morally and politically. V Cincinnati Speech. Upon this rock he took ; his stand, and around that' single idea he rallied a new party. Does the Republican party "honor his memory" by a similar ringing plank on the great' moral issue? that is the real issue : "It is the eternal struggle ' between these two principles-bright and wrong throughout the world. And when ever we can get rid of the fog which ob scures the real question we can " get put from among that class of men and 'bind them to the side of those who treat it as & wrong, i Then there will soon be an end of it, and that end will be its ultimate extinction. iWheneverthe issue can be distinctly made, and all extraneous mat ter thrown out so that men can fairly see, biiereai nmereiicw ueiween lue parties, thiB controversy will soon be ' settled." Debate with Douglas, Alton, His. When or: where has the Republican party declared the liquor traffic" to be wrong, morally and politically, and set itself unequivocally to -secure its "ulti mate extinction?" Is it lip or heart honor? KILLED OLD PARTIES. 'We, the Republicans and others, form ing the opposition of the country, intend to stand by our guns, to be patient and firm, and in the long run to beat you. We know that you are all of a feather, and that we have to beat you altogether, and we expect to do it.: We don't intend to be very impatient about it. We mean to be as deliberate and ca'm about it as possible to be, but as firm and. resolved as possible - foij men ; to ' be." Cincinnati Speech. . ' i .." -,: . , - ' This was Lincoln's advice to the new party to "throw away their votes' in the struggle for moral right against moral wrong. What is Republican advice to voters in the present struggle of moral right against moral wrong? Is it lip or heart honor : either to God or immortal Lincoln? t - ; i NATIONAL POLICT DEMANDED. "I have taken it upon myself to say that we expect to ultimately beat them. In order to do so I think we want and must have a national poiicy in regard to the institution of slavery that acknowl edges and deals with the institution as being wrong, j Whoever desires the pre vention of the spread of slavery and "the nationalization of that institution yields all when he yields to any policy that either " recognizes slavery - as being right or as being an Indifferent thing. Nothing will make you successful but setting up a policy which; shall treat the thing as be ing wrong. "--Same Speech. j When or where has the ; Republican party ever honored . the memory of its immortal leader by setting up a national policy that treats the liquor traffic as be ing wrong? ? Let the saloons in our na tional Capitol, the half dozen car loads of intoxicants discussed at the national Republican convention answer. Is it lip or heart honor? . ; k, If Lincoln was right then the Republi can party is wrong now, for it persists in treating our great moral wrong as an in different thing to be voted up or down or legalized and protected by law, and now in the eternal struggle between these two ! principles, ngnu ana wrong, arrays useu in favor of the wrong. ; Is it lip or heart honor?. ' 1 . - :;- PARTY ACTION ESSENTIAL. s "To do these things we must employ instrumentalities. We must - hold con ventions; - we must adopt platforms, if we conform to ordinary customs; we must nominate . candidates and we must carry elections. ' If we shall adopt a platform that fails to recognize or express our pur pose or elect a man that declares himself Inimical to our purpose,' we not only take nothing by our success, but we tacitly admit that we act - on no other principle than a desire to have the 'loaves and fishes."-;, i-? -V - -' - Does the Republican party ; express a purpose to overthrow the great wrong while it nominated and strives to . elect men who "declare themselves inimical" to such a purpose? Is it lip or heart 1 honor? i . : - - ' AS MUCH OPPOSED TO THE TRAFFIC AS ' ANY ONE. ; -::-v-.. '"If there be ' among you anybody who supposes that he is a Democrat, and con siders himself 'as much opposed to slavery as anybody, would like to reason with him. You never treat it as a wrong. What other thing that you consider as a wroner do you deal with as you deal with that? Perhaps you say it is wrong, but j your leader never does. Although you pretend to say it to yourself, you can find no fit place to deal with it as a wrong. You must not say anything about it in the free states because it' is not here. You must' not say anything about it in th pulpit hecause that is religion and has' no thing to do with it. ; You must not say anything about it in politics because that will disturb the security of my place." ;The Republican party occupies the po sition and uses the : identical arguments Lincoln condemned. Is it lip . or heart honor? ; DEMOCRATIC rOFULAIl SOVEREIGNTY AND ' V J REPUBLICAN LOCAL OPTION. - -! Judge Douglas says ho 'don't' care whether it slavery is voted:up or voted dpwn,' Any man can pay that who does not see anything wrong iii slavery, but no ciau can logically say it who docs see a wrong in it ; because no man can logically say ho does uot care whether j a wrong is voted up or i voted down. f ; , . He contends that ; whenever a community wants slaves it has a right to have theta. So they have, if it is not a wrong." Speech at Alton, His. How does the Republican ' party honox the memory of Lincoln while occupying the Democratic popular sovereignty posi tion which contends that whatever local ity, wants the liquor traffic has a right to have it, a position Lincoln sturdily com bated. Now Republicans are shouting "local option,": and think it sufficient "that this question : is submitted to the people." Is it because it was an "indif ferent thing" to be voted up or down, or is it because it might "take the wind out of tho third party?" ; ; : ; THE NEW PARTY JT7STTFIKD. : "Our cause then must be entrusted to and conducted by its own personal friends those whose hands are free whose hearts are in the work who do care for the result. The result is not doubtful, we shall not fail if we stand firm, f We shall not fail.' Wise councils may accelerate or mistakes delay it, but sooner or later, victory is sure to come." i - If Lincoln was right, then is the Re-1 publican party wrong now, and they are ' trying the impossible of , honoring thd ' memory of their : great leader while per sistently rejecting every principle he enunciated. But perhaps it was lip, and not heart, honor that was intended- George F. Comings in Westfield (Ind.) Index , - , . .-. SPECIMEN LIES.

Purposes for the Future. . : ' , t- Many of the candidates of the Prohibi tion party this year are from the ranks of the young men. but the silver grays have also given of their best to serva us. : This week we present cuts of the candi- dates for governor in Connecticut -. and Tennessee. . . ; : -;,; .;. i : i ; Hiram Camp is one of the leading man- j ufactnrers of Connecticut, and his inven- tive skill is known throughout the world. His name not only stands in . the front" rank of productive industries, but . is widely known as that of a practical phi lanthropist. ' ' ., ;- . He was born of sturdy 'Revolutionary stock at Plymouth, Conn., April 9, 1811. tie appropriated suchr advantages " as - the common schools of the time and locality afforded, and the preparation for business life he thus made may be regarded, if not f as complete, j at least as better than none. - He had ' a -natural; taste for mechani cal pursuits, and e s o u g h t ; his fathers permis sion to work with his uncle, Chaun cey Jerome, in the manufacture of IIIRAM CAM? clocks. It was finally determined that he might do so upon attaining the age of 18. He made the journey of ten miles across the country on foot, carrying all his wordly goods tied up in a cotton hand kerchief." Mr. Jerome received his nephew with kindness, and ere long put him in charge of all his works.- The busi ness association then formed:' continued for more than thirty years. '; f -j ; In 1851 he entered into business on his own account, erected a ' building and began the manufacture of clock movements.- This enterprise he prosecuted alone until ; 1853, when he organized a joint stock association, under the title of the New Haven Clock company. ;- 0" Mr. Camp has retained the presidency of the company and the general manage ment of its manufacturing department. More clocks have been made under his supervision than under that of any other man, and his management of an estab lishment making the largest number of clocks in tho world extends backward from the present date through a period of more thau half a Century. Mr. Camp's ; energies 'have not been confined within ! the limits of manufacture. In deference to the wishes of the people he has filled seVwral public offices, such as member , of the eity council, selectman of the town, ; chief engineer of the civic fire department ! ana member of the state legislature. He concerns himself deeply in the education andevangelization of his fellow beings. He supports two Sunday sebool missionaries in Nebraska, and a city missionary in an other state. He founded the Mount Her mon Boys' school at Gill, Mass., which was under the auspices of the great evangelist, D. C. Moody, and co-operated with him in establishing the Northfield seminary for young ladies. : Toward the maintenance of both of these institutions Mr. Camp is a constant and generous contributor, and he is officially connected ; with one as president, and with the other ; as trustee, : To employ a simile which has j reference to his practical lifework, he knows that each human being : has ; his ' place in world mechanism whether it porrespon4 to that of wheel, fusee, es-i capement, or merely tooth or peg and aims, through the instrumentality of his missionary agents, : and the help! of the Diyine spirit, to fit each for his place in the great whole, so that humanity in its entirety may movein perfect accord and concord with the great author of nature and the giver of all grace.

In that cityhe has, been actively and snccessf ully engaged in business for the past thirty-seven : 'years,, "and estab lished an " enviable name for enterprise and probity- among all classes in that' great commercial center. Originally he was a Whig, but voted for secession with great "reluctance. In late Sears he was largely engaged in the cotton uying business, and for ten years! was sole proprietor of the celebrated Hope Cot: ton Seed Oil mill, which he lately sold to the American Cotton Oil company. - He voted with the' Democratic party, un til the vote for amendment .representa tives, when he worked ' to secure then election of the Republican nominees, who were pledged to support the amendment ; He founded and mainly, supported the Hope night school in that city, Dr. Porter of late years assisting, and over 1,000 of the deserving poor youths passed through this school.

The following, is the "Prohibition Hopeless Programme" as published in The Cleveland Leader and" credited to Al bert Griffin: . "If we can defeat the Republican party this year, by drawing from its ranks enough zealous temperance men. to enable the saloon party to triumph. and if the Republican party becomes so cowed that it refuses even to kick, and straightway gives up the ghost j and if its members prove to be devoid of human nature, and conclude to kiss the hand that smote them; and if woman suffnure-: does not prove to be 'an old ' man of the mountain on our shoulders: and if a majority of ,. the people suddenly , become -.i. e j.i i . jj i i 1 . lnaitterent to the tariff, currency, immi gration, labor, land and other questions, about which they now care more than they do for anything else; or if we are able to make the supporters of both sides of other questions believe we . favor, their views; and if enough of these antagonistic elements can - be welded together under our leadership -to constitute a majority party, we will surely win. ; And then if our legislator is uniformly wise, and oui officers zealous and efficient f and if no new set of misguided enthusiasts, rejected office seekers, cranks and marplots are led by our success to follow out example, and break bur party to pieces in order to use its fragments in the -building of another, before we shall have done our perfect work, we will wipe the saloons from the face of the earth as soon as we can, and everything will be lovely, with us on top. " We offer the following (asking our read ers to excuse; the want of originality) as the hopeful programme of the party to which Mr. Griffin has sold himself. ; If "we can "wisely and well direct" rotten eggs; if we can successfully advo cate free whisky and temperance at one time, or, figuratively expressed; if we can straddle" wide enough to face In two op posite directions; if we can find a temper ance plank, which will please Sheridan Shook; if temperance men will support a whisky party and will allow safaonists to lead them whithersoever they will by their noses; if we can make men believo that it is profitable that souls be lost in the vaiu hope of gaming a few dollars;- if we can convince Prohibitionists that they have no right to vote as they ,, please; If the Democrats don't beat us, and if Somebody else kills the bearwe will sym pathize with him and claim - the credit of the work- We also will divide the spoils and grow fat in the land.

Nor could he possibly have prevented such wreck and ruin. -; And now som much misinformed or, very facetious opposer of Gen.
