tho great Democratic party. What is
the fact, Mr.. President? In 1893 the
Republican party was originated, and
Jefferson aud Madison aud Monroe and
the great statesmen of that period were
its founders. In 1900 the Republican
party elected Jefferson President for
four years. In 1904 the Republican
party elected Jefferson again for four
years more. 10 1903 it was the Repub.

party elected Monroe as President, and
again in 1920 elected him without any
opposition whatever. The party oppos-
ed to the Republican party during all
that period from 1900 to 1920 was the
Federal party, and in 1920 the Federal
party as such yielded up its existence,
and in 1924 there were four candidates
for the Presidency, every one of them
running as Republicans, not as Demo

of the regular caucus in 1924; General
Jackson ran as an independent Republi-

peoples candidate and as Republican,
was elected President of the United
States; and iu 1882, for the frst time
in the history of the country, was the
assumption given to the Republican
party, or that branch of it which sup.

the United States, called also at the 10
stigation of Mr.. Van Buren, and his
friends, aud then for the FIRST time tha,
branch of tho Republican party which
supported General jackson, assumed the
name of Democratic Republicans. IL
1886, it assumed the same in 1840, The
same and from that period gradually il
began to drop the name of Republican,
and it was called the Democratic party
