ly Lappy in the career Of Mr.. Sherman that in the
legislative departu ent he was permitted to shape
the resumption act and in the executive depart
ment to administer its provisions and carry it to
successful issue. (Applause.) That resumption act
il continuing blessing and benefit to this country.
1t has placed the government finances and the
finances of the people upon a stable foundation,
and am sure that from this brief historic review
have ventured TO submit transition is easy to the
duty of the impending national contest If the
sumption act and great series of financial measures
of which it was the fitting climax benefit to
the business interests of this country the political
inf1uenceof the business men of the couptry should
be given to the party which originated and enforced
thar legislation. (ProoDged applause) There is
need for me before The business en- of New
York to supplement the argument which am
Mr.. Sherman has made complete, and should
hardly have dared to give myself the pleasure of
appearing here but for my desire to testify in this
great metropolis of the Union my appreciation OF
your distinguished guests services. (Applause)
And while am here, may be permitted to add
that not alone in the financial and business depart
ment Of legislation which interest every man, but in
all the great of life and in all that relates
to the of great people in the 13 years during
which the Republican party has been in power, are
certainly distinguished beyond any equal period in
our history, excep ing alone the immortal period
which gave our independence ami our constitu-
ton. Great applause). At no time, certainly
have the educational interests of the people been SO
greatly and 80 rapidly advarced; at no time have
the spirit Of humanity and beneyolence of the peo
pie been so generously developed as during that pc
ri (applauseG at time certainly Las
Christianity made SO marked advance as
during the period in which the Republican party has
admins cred The COVER ment; at time within
t. memory of any one who does me the honor to
hear me has there been so little hiyotry in the
country as there is to-day at no previous tine has
there beed occasion of great public interest
latiDg to the fate of the government in which upon
the same platform and for the patriotic end
has there been such cordial and hear Y coopera-
tion there IS among The great religious de
nominations s-Protestant, Catholic and Hebrew.
(tireat and prolonged applause.) Certainly that is
the great cohsummation which republic pledged
to lvil and religious liberty should aim and it
will remain the lasting glory of the Repub lean
party that that contamination has boen achieved
during It's broad and wise and iibel al administra
tion OF the national government. Great applause)
