great statesmen of that period were it.

elected j flerson President for four years
In 1904 the Republican party elected JEFF

it was the Republican panty which electct
Mr.. Madison as President OF the Initec
States. In 1872 the Republican party
second time elected Madison President o
the United States. In 1916 the Republican
party elected Monroe as President, anc

sition whatever. The party opposed to the
Republican party during all that period
from 1900 to 1870 was the Federal party
and III 1920 the Fcdelal party as such yield
ed up its existence, and in 1924 there wert
four candidates for the Presidency every
one of them running as Republicans, moi
as Democrats. Mr.. Crawford was the nom

candidate from Tennessee; Mr.. Clay as al

adhesion to the Republican party. In 1924
there was no choice for President by the
people; it went to the House Of Representa-,

Convention that was ever held in the Uni

Mr.. Van Buren, and bis friends, and then
for the first time that branch Of the Re
publican party which supported Gen. Jack
son assumed the name Of Democratic Re
publicans. In 1886 it assumed the same;
in 1910 the same; and from that period
gradually it began to drop the name Re

patty. But, sir, as tie Wing PARTY, in 1850,

Mr. SALISBURY. 1t was my pur-
pose, Mr.. President, to submit few re-
marks i'll reply to that ortion Of the speech
Of the honorable Senator from Wisconsin
which referred to the remarks before sub
mitted to the Senate; but since that he las
goue off on very cold scent, and the CON
trovcrSy has lost to ne most OF its interest.
| cordially aglee with the honorable Senator
in his statement that our relations are those
of personal kindness, and therefore ! am
sure he Will take no personal exception to
what ] am about to say. The course he has
purSu uCd on this occasion only verifcs a re-
mark made by the photographer of the Re-
publican panty, the honorable Senator from
New Hampshire. That honorable Senator,
in the course Of the remarks i'll which he de-
lincated SO tluthtully and SO beautifully the
character Of the Republican party, said that
he was one Of its earliest champions, and
now he found that the new converts to the
party and especially that portion of them
who came from the Democratic party, were
its most jealous defenders.
The honorable Senator from Wisconsin,
in the remarks which he intended to be dis
paraging to the Democratic party, denied
al t1,n ,ot, nj thn+ 4 i
that its record was as honorable, as | had
ayowed it to be before the Senate. How
many years has it been since that honorable
Senator was high-priest in Democratic
councils? Sir, he has not tarried at the
political Jericho Of the Republican party
sufficiently long for his beard to attain full
growth. If mistake not, he bore honora-
bic commission to the national councils Of
the Democratic party. If mistake not, he
was one of its tiercest champions, and he
bore alott its banner in his own State at one
time. Sir, | have never known it to fail,
when member of the Democratic party has
left the party, that he has not said that he
did not leave the party, but that the party
left him.
Mr.. DOOLITTLE. The honorable gen
tleman is mistaken. The real Democratic
party did not leave me; they came right
along with me and helped to make the Re-
publican party, and they are almost all in.
Mr.. SALISBURY. My only reply to
that is that the old Republican party to
which the Senator alludes had everything
in the head and not ''nigger on the bIain, I"
and the Republican party Of the present day
I mean 10 personal offense-has nothing
except 'nigger on the BRAIN"
MIR. LANE, of Indiana. | do not wish
to interrupt, this interesting discussion; but
| will at this period make a point of order.
My point is that it is out of ORDER it is ile-
gaIto hole an inquest over the corpse of the
Democratic party when the coroner is OF
present. : laughter .-EJ8#f E IL o..
