vigorous assertion Of the Monroe doc

doctrines Blaine has been q strenuous
advocate; as 10 the powers, privileges,
and duties of this great Government
among the nations of the earth, be
stands committed.
Blaine and Logan we're the choice Of
the great body of the Republican party.
OF them. more truthfully than OF asy
other men ever selected by that party as
its standard bearers, II may be said,
that they were nominated. In spite Of
the machine. in defiance of the bosses.
The result iustifies the choice of the
National Convention. Blaine and
Logan have been elected by the people.
BY people we mean the great free think
Ing and Independent classes who CON-
pose the bulk Of the party. They have
net had the support of the Sums. The
Republican party has never depended
on the sewers for its successes. Bot in

industrious and intelligent artisans of
the Nation, the Republican party has
thrived, drawn constantly renewed sup
port, and by their votes achieved its
repeated successes.
There Is not member of the Repnb-
iican party IN this Territory, however
he or she may have voted upon an issue
OF vital local interest or importance.
who does not rejoice In ell sincerity and
heartiness at the success Of his party In
the great National contest Just ended

deeper sympathy with the true prinei-
ples Of Republioanism than those who
have advocated aud voted for their su.

called Republican Convention. All
honor 10 them. We're il not for that
true independents which revoits at In
sriRue, scorns subterfues. and deties
anrsehteous power. the Republican
party would not have been born. They
are the heart, the strength. the final and
supreme reliance. not alone Of the great
party that they love and honor, but of
that larger element in this Republic who
base their faith and acts upon the basal
principles OF self government. With
thai grand army Of Americans who.
through their delegates In Convention
at Chicago last June, declared anew
that the public domain Is the heritage
Of the people and should be reserved for
their occupancy, including ali thss Dor
sion granted 30 railroad corporations
yet not earned BY them, We are in full
accord. From the lips OF the dead Gar.
fsld and the living Blaine we quote the

Republican party We yield 10 none in
