idle now to discuss with Mr. Hulsman those
acts of retaliation which he imagineS may posi-
bly, take place at some indefinite time hereafter.
Those questions will be discussed when they
arise, and Mr.. Hulsman and the Cabinet ut
Vienna may rest assured that in the meantime,
while performing with strict and exact fidelity
all their neutral duties nothing will deter either
the Government or the people of the United
States from exercising at their own dlscNtlon
the rights belonging to them as an Independent
nation. and of forming and expressing their
opinions freely, and at all times, upon the great
political events which may tTanspire among
the civilized nations of the Garth
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY CAN AND WILL TAKE
CARE OF THIS COUNTRY.
We will not discuss with the enemies of this
country the possible results of Mr.. BlaineS
policy. When the time arises the Republican
party, under his leadership, will be found equal
to the occasion. The man who has been swift
to protect the honor OF his family will not be
slow 10 act when the honor OF his country is 10
be maintained.
THE ISSUE Is FOR or AGAINST YOUR COUNTRY.
My countrymeu, the issue is fairly made. 1t

party Is not for war, but for peace-fOT lasting
peace. which. in Its white robe, shall euvelopan
mankind. That peace, it believes. never can be
obtained on earth except through the spread of
Republican institutions. The party of freedom
and progress, it takes its stand by its principles

THE DUTY OF YOUNG MEN
To the Young men Of the State appeal. Make
no mistake now. Don't turn n deaf ear TO the
WhlSperlngS of your good genius. Don't defy
destiny. The Democratic hosts aided by for
eign influence and sustained by foreign gold,
cannot prevail against the deStinAeS of this re-
public. rhe same Providence which protected
II through the revolution, which watched over
| its progress as it moved along the pathway of
empire, Will watch over, guide and protect il in
the future. Its mighty mission is 10 conduct the
world to freedom at last. The stars have said
it, and against fate man is pOwer,CSS Young
men, You have been told that the mission of the
Republican party is Gccomplished-that the
power of this country should be taken from it
and given TO that party which it was supposed
had furled its battletlags forever when lis chief
taius laid down their arms at AppomatoN The
promise is idle and delusive; it comes from
hope that lost cause may be restored and the
| Judgment of the gods of battle be reversed. The
! young man OF to-day who attaches himself 10
the party which Is III opposition TO the aims
hopes and destiny OF the country, will find here
after, throughout all his life his power and
| his influence for good weakened 10y the fact that
| i'll this decisive hour he made IL mistake which
! was the equivalent Of IL crime.
| A friend of mine used to tell story which IL
