"The destruction of the Maine is a casus belli without the horrors of Cuban suffering. If this nation does not avenge that dastardly deed mo self-respecting sailor can serve under our flag. De sertions f roiii our navy will come toy thousands, and the ghosts of thiose dead sailors will stalk about every con vention and hover over every ballot-box until they send to oblivion every Mug wump and every mangy dog who is in Washington trying to pass for a man.
