MAsH1SGTDs, July i, 1914
After the adjournment of Congress, tn
irnagnates of the Republican psrty, n: Chand
iler, j. M. Edmunds, and others, held seyefa
IN settings to devise ways and means to ward!
the Inauguration of the congressional Cam
paien. and it was finally determined TO re
Quest Senator Howe to draft IN address .
the people OF the United States. Inc paper
Is considered by. the leaders the best posslDie
defence of the party, and Is said to be cnar
acterjzed by great adroitness. 1t is INTENDED
to be the basis upon which the party IS TO OF
united and the congressional battle Is 70 ps
fought. It contains the essence OF tnou
sand campaign speeches. The remarkdoft
features are the absence of all eutogy OF
euen reference to President Grant, and the
admission that upon, the currency question
the party is divided. ~ 7.,....5 .l4.e
FOREIGN RELATIONS UNDER REPUBLICAN RULE
The document would make about a page
of the Herald, and purports to be revie"
of Republican achievements since the party
was called to the administration Of National
affairs. Like the Presidents message, it be-
Gins with allusion to our foreign relations,
and declares that Of the thirty years of Dem
ocratic control prior to 1861 there is hardly
a memory left at which the nation should
not blush. Under this rule Austria was bui'
lied out of q Hungarian refugee, Mexico de-
spoiled of portion of her territory, Grey
town demolished and millions jinsled in the
ears of Spain as lure for Cuba. The Ostend
manifesto is satirized; and, while our con-
duct towards weaker Powers was firm,
during the years OF Democratic control q
naturalized citizen could not safely revisit bis
birthplace, and letters could only be sent by
paying enormous postage.
ACHIEVEMENTS OF CONGRESS.
Having disposed OF Democratic diplomatic
achievements, the story Of home rule prior
to the advent of the Republican party into
power is dwelt upon at great length, and
pronounced sadder than that Of the foreign
policy, pointing out that deficient revenues
were made good from time to time by loans.
The prolonged sessions of Congress prior to
1861 are denounced as worse than waste OF
time aud money.
The address then recites the scanty aDpro-
priations made to improve barbors and
rivers, and on this point it is the evident in
tention of the committee to prejudice the
granger element of the West against Democ-
rscy by showing up its past record. Under
this head, the history of the origin and COM
pletion of the Louisville and Portland canal
is given at length, the manner in which De-
mocratic administrations refused to take
charge Of it and relieve the steamboat inter-
est Of gigantic monopoly, while the cor
poration was virtually swindlng the Coy
eminent and the people through influences
in Washington. l.
THE REBELLION RECORD. 81 - !.
The record of the Democratic administra-
ton while the rebellion was yet in its incipi-
encr is next approached. OF the army it
says it was Offered far too largely by those
who bad been educated in every soldierly
grace save that of allegiance. The navy was
scattered in remote seas, while the doctrine
of Stale rights was preached on every Demo-
cratic house top that "the people OF the
United States" may not forget that slavery
is dead. This subject is elaborated and all
the Democratic sins Of omission and conlmls-
sion laid bare to the world, until the greater
sin of fomenting q wicked rebellion was com
mhted.
THE GREAT NATIONAL REFORMS AND TRIUHPHs.
Having pointed out the evidences of unfit.
ness, sin the opinion OF the Congressional
why Democracy should never
be resurrectcd, the address takes up the great
and glorious course of the Republican party
since March 4, 1851 The Union has been
pres sryed, slavery abolished, human rights
have gained the sanction of three new chap
tiers added to the National Constitution !;
murder, organized in several States, bearing
the name OF kukluX, has been exposed, con-
yicted, punished. The Dew era in diplomacy
growing out of the Treaty Of Washington,
the REIMBURSEMENT OF the San Juan claim,
and the payment OF the Geneva award, are
pointed to as Republican triumphs, The
establishment of postal treaties With every
nation on the earth and cheapeuing the postal
rate is alluded to with pride.
THE SPANISH DIFFICULTY.
This is all the committee find suitable in
regard to the Nirsinius outrage f." When,
in October last, a Spanish vIce-eonsul in
Cuba so far forgot the respect due to the
limited States as to seize upon vessel sailing
under the protection OF her dag, Spain
promptly, without the firing of Il gun or
spilling drop of blood, made that honorable
reparation which every just Government is
glad to make for wrong DONE"
THE UNPARALLELED PROSPERITY OF THE
COUNTRY,
increase of inland commerce, extension Of
railroads in every direction, and an increase
of our population, are all traced to the beneti.
cent administration OF the Government by
the Republican party. The policy of discon-
tipuing subsidies to railroads is indorsed,
after which the bird of freedom is let loose,
and gush of rhetoric more brilliant than
the comet INDUCED in at much length. Com
ing back to facts, the address details the pro-
rress made in reducing the public debt and
taxes. while the stability Of our finances is
considered d good card for the fall elections.
THE APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE
then begins as follows:
"You are about to select representatives
to a new Congress. We earnestly entreat
Won to send the truest and ablest Republi-
cans YOU have, but we entreat you to send
Republicans and not Democrats. You will
send one OF the other, No matter what the
Individual may call himself or what disguise
he NAV wear, he will be Republican or a
Democrat, There is at present no room for
any other style in our politics. If you do
No; mean TO retrace the past you will select
Republicans and not Democrats. Ii you
mean to 90 forward In the future you VIII
select Republicans and not Democrats"
