The Republican party appeals with
pride and confidence to lie past history
in proof OF it's fidelity to principles, and
its consistent discharge OF duty TO the
country in peace and war. These prin.
cipIes and the measures growing out OF
them have been stamped on the public
and approved. There is no taint OF
suspicion now resting on its honor as q
partv. II has 80 conducted public at-
isirs that at the last Presidential elec-
ton one of its founders was accepted az
the Democratic candidate for the Pres
idencv, thereby leaving that party DO
other hope O! further success than may
be found in a return to it's original and
abandoned organization, or in negative
hostility TO measures it has solemnly
approved. Ii recognizes the fact that
d,versities OF individual opinion exist IN
reference to the details OF public policy
and does not seek or expect precise
agreement among its mem
bers. Ia all such debates
unity in fundamental principles IS all
that can reasonably be expected in 4
country like this, where the people are
capable OF intelligent thought Unlike
the Democratic party, it lays no clsImt
to political infalibility, but It does claim
that it has shown itself both ready and
com petent 10 resist all wrong aud op
pression, 10 restrain injustice, TO re-
move the public ills when tney are
known 10 exist, TO Condemn the con-
duct OF faithle lees and dishonest public
agents and TO detect and expose abuses
in the administration OF government
even when protected by its prolessrd
suppor.ers. 1t has never tailed IN ths
work OF reform when shown 10 be nec'
esssrv ; no offender detected in corrup-
ton has escaped it's condemnation, nc
matter what party services be may
have rendered. 1t Las never en-
deavored to deIest the public WILL
