be summary that he makes OF the purpose on tne tD
efa Republicans and is equivalent to restaeInent OF

bic. No whose heart Is set reform can take e1
the party which hopes achieve victory in the coming
canvass plant itself hKedy on that ldenucaI plat
form This Is the kind OF talk that should have been
