He belonged to q former generation, and the
present generation knew Him not. When
lie quit being Republican he passed
out Of the memory Of mankind,

in them; because the party was solid; be-
cause there would be no boiling; because it
was the solid determination Of every member
Of the ranks to do his duty for the party.
They all knew that the party was standing at
the turnng-p point of its career, One victory
more and the country was safe. [Appfause.]
