If our candidate has not filed the noisy trump Of
fame these are the trophies which he has won In the
earth to make millions OF graves for his fellow men,

been foremost man among those enter
prising benelactors OF our race who are pushing
railroads into every part OF extensive country.
Railroads are the grandest achievement OF modern
civilization They the highways OF the millions.
They carry population into our remote lands; they
build up towns and cities in what had else been the
waste places OF the earth; they dinuse intelligence,
comfort and cheerful wealth broadcast and they
bring back to the seaDoard cities the products Of the
terror communities. The planning, constructing ana

the heavy tonnage Of coal and and to the quick

mind and bear loud testimony to the fitness OF our
| candidate to grapple with complicated problems,
and to bring them 10 sound practical solutions.
