ago, its controlling section took up arms
against the Constitution. it was thought
that the name "party of the Constitu-
ton" was inapplicable. Strange er-
TOR! Had the party succeeded in that
undertaking, the Constitution would
have been smashed. 1t did not succeed.
Did not its failure save the Constitution,
and SO conclusively establish its claim
to the title of Constitution-savior?
Again, when, only two years ago, its
agents in Congress set out to undo the
political consequences of its failure to
overthrow the Constitution, it was
-thought that its course imported par
ty of reaction instead of party OF
progress. The effect of its success
would have been to remit the Constitu-
ton back to the time of Buchanan. But
it did not succeed, and the consequence
of its failure has been the extinction of
its control in Congress and the advance
ment of the Constitution to the time Of
Garfield. Therefore is it the party Of
progress!
Great is logic! Great is Mr.. "Sam''
Randall! But greater than either is q
party which can boast its glorious
achievements and crowning triumphs
in the consequences of its failure tc
achieve the opposite. Chicago Times
