the spot.
Itis too great strain upon the intellect to.
imagine that harmony can best be evolved
from discord. Few Republicans seem to-
agree that the more marked and better
the present estrangement, the more close.
and pleasant will be the future alliance.
cannot believe that any true Republicans,
in amoment of temporary disappointment
or petulence, will sacrifice alike principle,
and interest to a feeling of dishonorable,
revenge. The Republican party origina-
ted in justice, in charity, in honor, and for
almost a quarter of century has controll-
ed and guided our countrys destiny by
adherlng to principle and not to men, and
repudiate to-day the suggestion that any
large number of its N embers Or any hon
orable men in its ranks still sacrifice to
loss of importance or failure of aggrandize-

which they have fought in

to such an extent as will enable the m to
1ntrench beyond the rights and privileges
OF individuals. But whenever and wherever
for the convenience and benefit of the pub
lie it is necessary that there should be an
aggregation of capital, that capital should
be protected to the same extent as the cap

upon the public, and particularly upon the
poor. monopoly generally exists when

number unite their energies and their for
tunes for the protection of themselves and
the people. Wherever associations and
corporations exist, vigilance and aid are
always to be invoked to protect the.weaker
against the power and possible encroach-
ments of the stronger. If elected, and duly
appointed committees shall devolve upon
me, shall have no hesitation in saying,
