The Republican Address.

The Republican Address.
The Republican Congressional Committee
have issued an address to the people Of the
United States setting forth the reasons why
the voters OF the nation should elect Repub-
lican Representatives at the pending elections
for the next Congress. The fact that there
is limit to capacity of newspaper columns
will preclude its publication by vase major
ity of the Republican journals OF the country.
The fact, too, that life is short is realized by
go many general readers when they take up
the newspaper, that only small part of those
who have the opportunity will undertake to
read six columns of closely printed matter,
when the reasons for electing Republican
Congress and particularly for re-electing
such gentlemen as represent most of the
districts of New England, are set forth in
their record during the last session and par
ticulary in the letter of Congressman Hale,
which has already been published in these
columns.
A large part of the address is evated to
the record of the two leading parties during
the past years-facts well to remember and
TO certain extent affording reasons why the
Republicans should continue to have ma.
jorty in Congress and why their opponents
should occupy the minority benches for a
longer time. The first part of the address is
devoted to what is termed Democratic states
manship. So much has been said by our op
ponents in praise of this kind of state-craft
and so rarely has it been called upon to ex-
ercise its lauded excellence that the following
