To many of the younger voters, 1t Is regret

that eats out the heart OF popular institutions Is

THE PARTY OF THE PEOPLE.
From Tls Indianapolis J1aihdi thepj
The Republican party is as much the party
of the people to-day it ever was. 1t embraces and
represents the same elements OF progress ana reform
aud evnces the same readiness to respond to the Polt
zeal necessities of the times As party III hls nade no
mistakes ana the persistent
son TO hold responsible for the errors or nisdeeds OF
some OF s individual members ought not TO deceive
any honest man. No other party has ever shown the
same readiness expose and punish the wrongs done
in It's name called ITS leaders 10 sdch
swift and severe account for political shortcomings.
Whatever may faults of the Republican party, II

from The Chic1go Post and Mai (Rg.)
So long as the Republican party is not op-
posed by something maniesty better than itself II Will
inevitably succeed all important elections. lt Is the
party that saved the ion; ii is the party that enfra-
chsed the slave; 10 the party that through the II
years of the cOuntrys greatest and most uninterrupted
development has had charge Of It's public ahirs; IL is
the party I'm power and possession Is nine points In the
law" The opposition GrOwl aud blaspheme terribly
when these facts asserted simply because they
know them TO be factsiacs impossible to deuy or 10
resist ordinary circumstJnces facts Whch nave
made the name OF the Republican party tower OF
strength among the common people hard 10 overthrow
or undermine, tower strong and "rOck-rOOed that
it can be taken from wthout It's Toes must be
those OF It's own household If II ever surrenders.
