that itwould foreshadoU the result in
November, and we're strongly certain OF
success. They filed the cir with slapdsr.
Local issues led many voters to disre.

prophecy Of 20 600 1 plurality for Blaine
and Logan in November. With the rate
Of gain in other states, Il foreshadows an
increase OF 7OO,OO0r'ta the republican
national votes and the largest popular
majority ever given to any candidate.
These victories show the determination
OF the people that as Lincoln, Grant and
Ga, field were slsndered in vain, SO the
foremost statesman OF to day shall not
be driven from the peoples work by the
tongue of malice. They show that the
republican party. which was the first to
resist and uproot the dogma of 'per-
petual allegiance" to q foreign power. is
chosen by the nation to defend all
rights Of American citizens abroad.
They show that 80 long as the demo-
cratic party rests all hope of success up.
on denial Of free suffrage in the south.
ern states it will ask in vain the conf
dence of any state where free vote is
recorded by honest count.
They show that the people will not
abandon the protection of American IN
dustry, under which the country has
gained twice as much in twenty years as
it gained in all its previous history the
protection of American labor. which has
lifted wages sixty-two per cent higher
here than in England. The people see
what stagnatiun democratic 's6rst
firm step toward free trade," has caused
within the past year. Nine months ago,
flushed with victory and boasting of Ger
tam successes, the democratic party
made no secret OF its blind adherence to
British theories OF free trade. Now
neither deceitful platform nor dumb b
candidate avails to check the stampede
from tire party. For its voters know that
protection has made the rewards of labor
greater here than in any other country
on earth.
The national committee appeals to the
people to make the victory decisive. It
is no time for over confidence, or for neg.
lect Of any proper effort. Bare success
is not enough. It is time to put an end
to the agitation by which the demo.
cratic patty prostrates business every
four years; put an end to the hope that
the nation can be ruled by shot-guns in
sixteen states and frauds in two; put an
end to the villification of the two fore
most champions Of American ideas by
national policy. Make the principles
proclaimed by our matchless leader
"Peace with the world; commercial ex-
pansion in every practical direction; /;
encouragement of every form of Ameri-
can industry; protection of every citi-
zen, native or naturallzed. at home OF
abroad"-not only triumphant, that the
splendid prosperity which they promote
shall not again be interrupted by the
istruGgle Of Absolete Theories and foreign
interests for tho mystery of this cont.
nent. The grandest part Of the grsndest
history ever made by any nation is the
work of the republican party. It rests
With you, republicans of the nation, tc
carry forward the work which you and
your fathers have begun, and to which
so many brave and faithful men have
given precious lives, that government ol
the people, by the people and for the
people shull be maintained in the land
