Mr.. TAFT's SPEECH.
GeHflsmsa d The Contention The action Of the
Democrats, the past year, IN It's Conventions, and
IN Congress, has made II apparent that the mis-
son OF the Republican party lie not yet ended. FOL
though the principle Of equal ghts for all, without
distinction OF race or color, may be considered
established no man can Justly claim that the pe0-
pie Of the country desire TO trust that party which
N lso4 declared the war failure, and that the
obligations Of the Government should be paid N
nanaplIls, with the reform OF the abuses which
come upon country when the Government Is en-
Gagged 10 q gantc struggle. You have been call
ed together 10 chose delegates to the Convention
which will think, name the next President Of the
United States. There is doubt that you will
elect such delegates who will give TO the party
| which gave US Lincoln and Grant standard
bearers OF the highest character. And | think
test give voice TO the feelings Of the Republicans
| q Vermont, when / say that the phrase "a clean
! departure from Grantism" lnds no more approval
than when the great silent man Of the country met
/ cen. Lee at AppOmattOx.

ing me to preside over your delegations. Will now
