The Republican party never stood
higher in the public estimation than
at present. The reason for this is, il
has justified by its acts the confidence
of the people. 1t has stood the tsst
for more than twelve years of power
ond during that time has given berth
to measures that have added largely to
the strength, wealth. and influence Of
the Republic. Since the formation OF
the government, ne party has bee n
called upon to stand a strain as severe
as the one put upon the Republican
party. Both its legislative and execu-
tive branches have been called upon
to face the difficulties almost insur-
mountabls; yet, with firm and pa
triotlc hand it guided the nation
through its troubles, and to day it en-
oys the reward due it. services--the
continued confidence and support of
tchs people. Waterloo Journal.
