The Republican Party’s Birthday.
Distinguished Republican* from all otter the country
are assembled In Philadelphia today to celebrate the am
nlveraary of the birth of their party.
The feature of the occasion ha* been the presence
there of a delegate who advocated Abraham Lincoln for
the second place on the ticket with John C. Fremont
when on June 17, 1856, the first Republican convention
was held in Philadelphia.
The present occasion, indeed, has thus far become a
glorification of Abraham Lincoln rather than a celebra
tlon of the Republican party Itself.
It is well that this should be so, for by the common
consent of the united republic, the Republican party has
never had a man of whom It might so Justly boast* as
It could ol Abraham Lincoln.
While the present month and year has beon chosen
for the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the birth
of the Republican party, the fact Is that two year* be
fore the convention of 1856, a state organisation embody
ing its principles and first assuming Its name was per
fected In the state of Michigan. From that day until
tho assembly of the convention In Philadelphia there was
constant agitation of the slavery question. It was the
imssage of the Knneas-Nebraska bill which gave a aud
it' n Impetus to the organisation of the party, and It was
tho feeling then engendered which drew from the ranks
of the anti-slavery Whigs, the Freo Boilers, the Know
Nothings, the Abolitionists and the antl-Slavery Demo
crats to form the rank and file of what was to be the
Republican party.
John C. Fremont, who headed the ticket, obtained
only 114 electoral votes as against 174 cast for Buchanan
la the first contest with which the new party measured
strength with Its opponents. After this a slight falling
oil In Republican strength in congress Indicated the
wane of the Initial enthusiasm of the Republicans, but
their places were soon filled by new adherents from
tho shadowy American party and from Whigs and Dem
ocrats who resented tho Dred Scott Decision.
During the administration of Buchanan tho Repub
licans concentrated 'their efforts upon a protest against
the extension of slavery, pnd upon unsuccessful attempts
to secure the passage of the homestead bill, and the ap
propriation of public lands for educational purposes.
The second national convention of the party was
held In that favorito city of conventions, Chicago, in
l sco. The platform denounced Democratic threats of
disunion; and. be It remembered, oven In that hour, the
t-entiment against a centralised government was so
strong that the Republican party itself, legatee as It
was of tho rrinclples of centralisation, had to Insist that
tho rights of the states should be maintained Inviolate,
especially the right of each state to order and control its
wn domestic Institutions according to its own Judg
ment.
It declared, of course, that "the normal condition of
all the territory of the United States Is that of freedom,
which congress Is bound to preserve and defend.” It
demanded the prompt admission of Kansas as h free
Mate; It Initiated Its long warfare In behalf of the pro
tective tariff, and advocated national subsidies to further
the construction of a Pacific railway.
It was on this platform that Abraham Lincoln, when
Reward and Chase had been passed over, was nominated
en the third ballot from consideration of "availability,'
for as yet his full strength was not realised, even by the
men who nominated him. He received 180 out of
393 electoral votes, but his strength was exclusively In
the north and his full vote fell short of a majority.
Even before his election, however. Republican rule
had become an accomplished fact, by reason of the with
drawal of Southern members from the thirtieth con
gress, which gave the Republicans tho majority in both
houses, as indicated by the admission of Kansas and
the passage of a protective tariff act.
It Is unnecessary to trace the history of the Repub
lican party In detail from that period which immediate
ly succeeded the civil jvar. It came Into existence as a
protest against the extension of slavery, but It was never
sincere In Its advocacy of states rights. It was always
In favor of a protective tariff, and In a short tlmo Its
dominant note became what had been the chief charac
teristic of its predecessors seventy-five year* before, vis.,
a strong centralised government
In the history of American parties. t!|ere has been
such Jugglery of names that It Is difficult for the averago
reader to keep clearly in mind the meaning of "demo
cratic" and “republican" as applied to parties. But the
one broad fact remains that there have always been two
parties in the United States, one committed to a central
ized form of government, and the other advocating a
i- - rtct construction of the constitution and the enlarged
powers of the state.
To this may be added the advocacy of a protective
tariff tor the alleged benefit of Infant industries on the
one band, and on the other an advocacy of a tariff for
revenue only, and an encouragement of the freest possi
ble competition- This line of demarcation has run
through them like a silver ribbon ever since the founda
tion of the republic.
It exists today as clearly and a* strong)}- as In the
cradle days of the government.
At a time when corporate wealth Is exercising an in
solent aggression which gives the American people the
gravest concern; when corruption M being exposed In
high places and the tyranny of trusts and combines so
evidently threatens the very lito of our Institutions, the
Republican party has small reason to plume Itself upon
those principles which have made possible these unholy
alliances of wealth snd greed.
That the Republican party has given to the country
some grtat men cannot be denied, but if there are any
great men In its ranks today, they have manifested their
greatness chiefly by the courage with which they laid
hold u;>on Dcmocrntb' principles and Insisted upon cm
bodying them Into statute law.
We extend our felicitations to the O. O. P. and trust
that Its June picnic In the City of Brotherly Love
may bo a social success, flowering Into a thousand de
lights. But we do not envy them the record they have
made upon the annals of this country, and we look for
ward eagerly to the time when we may celebrate anoth
er of those crushing defeats on their part, which signal
ized tho first contest they ever made before the Ameri
can people.
Some restless spirit Is stirring up the old question of

The Jungle.
The Georgian begins today the publication of Upton
Sinclair's epocb-maklng story, “The Jungle.”
Tbls thrilling and absorbing novel will run* In dally
Installments until, it Is completed and we confidently be
lieve that It will be one of the most acceptable features
ws have yet presented onr readers.
The merciless fidelity and wealth of detail with
which the conditions In the Chicago packing houses are
given to the public constitute one of the strongest and
most stirring Indictments ever drawn against the abuso
of wealth and power. The publication of the book
wrought one of the most Important and far-reaching rev
olution* In the history of our country, and the discus
sion is still at fever heat.
The Indications sre that this Is to bs no mere flash
In tbs pan. The American people will never be satisfied
until such legislation la adopted aa will correct theta
criminal evils.
The underlying purpose of thfe novel does not pre
vent the development of a charming love atory, and
even as a work of fiction it will take high rank in the
world of tetter*.
We are fortunate in being able to present this great
work to our readers and we believe that the effort will
be appreciated.
Canfield on the Folly of Gambling.
Borne time ago "Dick" Canfield, who may be regard
ed as the prince of gamblers in this country, delivered
himself of a little advice on the subject of his profession
to an Inquiring newspaper man, and coming from the
source It did It should be regarded as highly valuable.
Canfield said, not merely In aubstance, but In literal
words, that the man who gambled, with the Idea of mak
ing money, was "either a very'uosophlstlcated youth or
fool.’” 1
The moral and conservative element of the world
hag been -saying pretty much the aame thing ever since
games of hazard came Into fashion, but the source from
which such advice came discredited It In the eyes of the
glided youth who had an Idea that gambling was an easy
way of making money and that they knew more about It
than those who undertook to advise them.
But Canfield’s honest opinion should settle the mat
ter, oven In their Judgment, for he says that It la utterly
Impossible for a man to make any money playing the
games.
He does not deny that there are Instances In which
considerable sums of money, have been won. He thinks)
fact, that those stories have rarely been exaggerated.
But the man who wins a wad today will almost certainly
come back and play again, and In the long rnn he la
suro to drop his winnings and a little more.
Everyone who has taken the trouble to follow any In
dividual Instance knows that this Is true. Few men have
the stamina to content themselves with what they have
won. Thoy come back to win still more. It looks so
easy, don't you know.
Canfield says, furthermore, that there Is no need
for the keepers of gambling Joints to play an unfair
game, because the odds are so distinctly In their favor
that It really It aot worth while. A professional gam
bler would soon discover that the game was not on
the square and exposure would Inevitably follow. In faro
and rouletto, which are among the most popular games
chance, the odds are about 5 per cent In favor of the
house, and as this yields a very fair profit where there
any patronage at alt it Is Just as well to pity fair.
Sooner or later the man who goes out for wool will
come homo shorn.
So the prince of gamblers takes the position that no
man need ever gamble with the hope that he can make
monoy at It. He looks upon It like any other expensive
amusement, snd warns those who cannot afford to lose
not to play at all.
This Is s species of expert testimony which certainly
ought to be heeded by those who have an Itching tor
unearned Increment." Who does not know that the man
who wins today feels that ha Is Just so much ahead of
the game of life and that he Is privileged to “blow" his
velvet," which be proceeds to do, several times over?
But when he loses he has to go down In his pocket and
dig up to pay the piper. So he la necessarily out Just
that much.
These are cold facts, and furnish a strong argument
outside of the moral aspect of the case. That gambling
demoralising and carries with It habits which are in
themselves Iniquitous does not even need to be argued,
but this old veteran of the game of chance furnlsHcs an
argument which should be absolutely convincing, over
and beyond all moral considerations.
The "Greater Nashville" edition of The Nashville
Banner, which has just reached our table. Is one of the
most notable special numbers ever Issued Id the South-
states. It consists of 88 pages, profusely Illustrated,
and presents a complete history of the state snd Us lead-
cities, an absorbing snd graphic presentation of the
Industrial snd commercial greatness of Nashville and
Tennessee and the thrift and prosperity of the people.
Typographically It Is of the very highest order of merit,
while from an editorial point of view it is pitched on that
high plans which we have long since learned to expect
from our evening contemporary. It Is a notable number
and the management Is to be congratulated on the suc
cess It has achieved.
