that had misrepresented him in comments on
account of his indictment against the Demo-
cratic party viz: that the party had attempted
to damage the business interests OF the coan-

Mr.. Chandler thanked God for the whole
record of the Republican party and gloried in
it's financial record. 1t has mastered the great
est national debt ever laid on any people and
has given to all prophecies that the debt would
be se.t when our ed
closed the money markets of the world against
us. The Republican ADMINISTRATION appealed to
the patriotism of the people, and then and
there the greenbsck was born. The Republi-
cans came into power at time when our ma
tional bonds found no purchasers. To-day
our bonds, vast in volume, command premi-
um at the lowest rates of interest. After q
record ofsuch great achievements in camp and
cabinet. we are told the Republican party has
performed its mission, outlived its usefulness
and ought to die. Well, if ever party was
prepared to die it is ours, but we have made
other arrangements and propose to live Every

Republican party ought to die, and who seeks
its death. They are the men who rejoiced in
every Union defeat and now threaten the in

publican party is not ended, and will not until
those devilish rebels are brought to humility.

lican State convention of Wisconsin was re-
ceived.
Hon. Jas. A. Garfield was received with
cheers. He said this vast assembly must have
richly enjoyed the review of the party's history
presented here and celebrated here to-day, and
not only the review of the past but the hope
full promises made for the future of that great
party. The Republican party, organic ed a
quarter century ago, was made necessity to
carry out the pledges of the fathers that this
should be land of liberty. There was in the
early days of the republic Republican party
that dedicated that very territory and all our
vast territory to freedom, that promised much
ior schools that abolished imprisonment for
debt and that instituted many wise
reforms, but there were conservatives
in.those days whose measures degenerated into
treason.
The Republican party of to-day was but
revival of the Republican PARTY of seventy
years ago, under new and broader conditions
of usefulness. It is we'll to remember and
lican party. One of these is Joshua r. Giddings,
who for twenty years was freedoms champion
IN Congress, and, from feeble minority of
two, lived to see Republican speaker elected
and himself to conduct him to the chair.
Another is Abraham Lincoln, the man 'raised
up of God for great mission. No man ever
had truer apprehension of the principles of
the declaration of independence, that great
charter which IL was tho mission of the Repub-
ican party to enforce.
There was fitness in the first platform of
the Wisconsin Republicans that they based
themselves on the Declaration of Independ-
ence. While Republicans have from the first
they promised, as proved to-day by their whole
record, the Democrats on tho other hand,
steadily wrong, have been forced from one bad
position to another. Can any Democrat point
with pride to his party platforms of "a, or
find in them any living issues. The issues
they then presented led us into war and in
volved us in a great national debt. Looking
for the cause of that debt say the Democratic
party caused it. We are as a nation just en-
crying from difficulties, and the Republican
party alone can proudly claim that the bright
est pages of the country's history ever written
by true friends of freedom and progress.
The Republican party has yet work to do.
We are confronted to-day in Congress by near
ly the same spirit that prevailed there in the
years just before the war. They tell us the ma
tional government is Lut the servant of the
States ;that we shall not interpose as nations to
guarantee honest elections in the States; that
if we interpose they will deny appropria-
tions. Is this less dangerous than their posi-
ton IN 1861? Have we no interest except in
local elections; no power to guard the ballot
box and protect ourselves against Outrage upon
it? Why does the South make this issue? I
answer, they have solid South and only need
to carry Ohio and New Yark to elect President
and they trust to carry these states by means
they best know how to use.
There are sentimentalists and optionists who
may see no danger in this. There were senti-
mentalists and optionists in the Republican
party, but to-day none but stalwarts. Presi-
dent Hayes came into Office on that sentiment.
All his hopes of Cancellation have been frus-
trated, all his advances met with scorn. We
all now stand together on the issue as one, and
I rejoice to see Wisconsin hopeful and prosper
Gus, so true to the Republican party.
