WELLINGTON ENTERPRISE, WEDNESDAY, SEPT TO- 1884,


the Republican party can arise. Until the,
last Bourbon caucus has adjourned without
day and the last Bourbon platform taAen it's
place among the curiosities Of literature, tho
Republican party will rema n where the Provi-I
dence OF God placed 1.-THE master OF the
situation. The Republican party made new,
era for American affairs. James Buchanan'a
administration is as distinctly part of an
eient history as the Babylonish captivity
Every footstep of the National progress for
thirty years has been dogged by Democratig
barking and biting at the heels. The tears or
Democratic statesmen have fallen upon the
tomps OF every abomination that this genera
ton mas putaway. That welghty organization
OF opinion, beginning at the grave OF John
Quincy Adams, and moving steadily forward
with the divine hate of slavery In his heart
ana the divine oath OF loyalty upon ts lips,
until at last the Nation was lifted out Of po-
htical barbarism and Joined In holy bonds
unto liberty forever-that is the Republican
party. And it anybody supposes that tho
Democratic organization, or the recognized
exponents OF the Democratic faith bore any
creditable part in the achievements of this
generation, he ought TO connect himself with
library association.
Gale to defend the National unity the Re
publican party out of the wrath and malice OF
civil strife gave to the future an undivided
country.
Called to protect public liberty, the Rcpub-
lioan party found the slave power seated on
all the thrones of office and opinion, and left

out u civilized friend in the world.
Called TO restore the fallen fortunes Of trade
and industry, the Republican party has given
good blood to the veins of American business
and put the shield of American law between
the homes of American labor and the mendi+
cant competition of English cities.
Called to preserve the commercial good
name OF the Nation, tho Repub lean party has
steadily exalted the public faith and left IL
permanently secure from the folly of maniacs
and the threat of demagogues. Grander than
any victory OF the clvilwar | count that silent
moral victory Of 1858, when the AmericaT
people under the leadership of the great
soldier Of the rebellion, chose rather TO suffeI
atfiiction with people who pay their bills than
to enjoy the convenience OF the dead beat for
q season.
In the face of such q record the marvel Is
not that the Democratic party fails, but that
It exists. The history OF this generation OF
Democrats is an obituary notice, both of men
and doctrines. Yet even here In Iowa, there
are men who have got themselves galvanized
into the belief that the time has come In the
course OF human events for the procession
TO turn out and let the corpse take the road.
II is even hinted that this Is the year for the
young men Of the country to cast their lot
with the Democratic party. venture TO say
that no young mnn-no man not yet hardened
by the search for ofiice-not yet fallen into
that most humillatlng of all paganisms, thd
idolatry OF bummer.worship-not yet lost IN
fair prospect and an honest stake In
bOClely-Chn look WITHOUT sudlIe OH Jne only
vital thing left IN tho Democracy of Iowa.
Every school house In Iowa opens into the
Republican party. A young man can not get
into the National Democratic party without
leaving his history Of the United States on the
outside. In the dark ages they had custom

burning up the books that contained
them. They answered mans
