Government to afford protection. your pub
lIc acts have received the unqualified in
dorsement OF popular approval. But We
are not unmIndful OF the fact that parties,
like individuals, cannot live entirely on the
past, however splendid their record.

that are free from the stain of violated faith
in the past, are fairly entitled to the pre-
sumption Of sincerity in their promises for
the future. Among the promises made by
the party in its late convention at Chicago
are economy and purity Of administration,
protection OF the citizen, native and natur-
allied at home and abroad. prompt restora-
