/ am glad to be q member Of the
Young Mems Republican Club, for ]
feel that as an organization and as in
dividuals, We form part Of that great
army of American freemen who have
been battling for the right and against
the wrong. The cause Of Republican
ism is grand and lofty cause. II is
the cause of liberty, humanity and
Of progress, enlightenment
and improvement; Of industry, honesty
and nationality. 1t has for its object
the protection of the national honor and
the promotion Of the welfare OF the peo-
pie. [Applause.l

1t induces young men who are just en-
tsring upon the active duties Of life to
take a proper interest in the po,
litiosl affairs Of the country, and organ
ICES political sentiment in the right di-
rectiOn. We look to the young men of
the country for the future conduct OF
public affairs, and no more potent force
Tor good can be brought to bear upon
them than is effected by just such or.
carnations as the Young Men's Repcb.
loan Club.

complish more. We have won q bril-
liant national victory. We have Won

this State in twain. Applause. The
future is bright with promises. Let us
See 10 1t that no effort shall be spared
by Us to convert that promise in:o full.
illment. Much remains to be done.
We must maintain cur organization
throughout the State. We must quail
