speech.
He said the troubles, difficulties and perils
of the nation were increasing. Republicans,
while struggling to establish a republic,
were united, but after they had achieved
victory they were divided, because an ideal
always exists. The present government
represents solid reality, and opposition rep
resents an idea. He brilliantly traces the
history ofthe democracy, and declares the
death Of the republic would be the death of
liberty, aud the generation would be in
famous which achieved liberty and failed to
preserve it. l am a rniversalist, he said,
but madness rends Spanish nationality
while Italy and Germany are becoming
more united. He reviewed the public life
of Theirs, which, he said, was a life of
warfare. In conclusion, he invoked Divine
projection to save the liberty and integrity
of Spain.
