what Leads TO Republican Sue
cess.

The principles which are hereafter 10
uoyern the Republican party and lead
Il on to successive victories have been
admirably stated by Judge Foraker the
Republican Governor-elect OF ONO, ana
~ these principles have just reclaimed
that Safe FROM Bourbon rule anu pau
Govern ment, they should be made al
once the cardinal principles OF the he
publican party.
Expedteucy for the sake OF victory
will not wear in tbs k,puolican party.
There must be a solid, substantial
basis of good sense upon which 10
build Republican success, and with
clean, honest men as Candidates,
the party would be invincisie' Inc
first rea son sdduced by Judge Foraker
that led t. such good results In ONO,
vas That the Republicans deemed IL
imnortaut to give decisive expression
at this .he first Stats election aftor the
bauinninQ Of Democratic National
Administration. That expression has
been er, phatically given and 1t Is that
AZ has been weighed in the balances
and fouud wanting. The second reason
for n Republican victory was the de-
termina:ion of the Republicans to give
expression In favor OF free osilot ana
a fair ,unt in all our elections. This
ia an honest principle that can never
die out.
wneuever anything was said in the
late g ate canvass about as honest q
vote in the Southern States as In the
North. the Democrats cried ont, do
not r. sur rect the bloody shirt" They
had good reasons fer letting that ISSUE
alone, They knew thai Presiden
CLEVELAND got sixty electoral votes ii
the States Of Virginia, South Carolina
Georgia, Alabama. Mississippi an'
Louisiana that he should not have ha'
and would not have had, but for th
most outrageous frauds aud violenc
against suffrage. They knew and the
know now that Grover Cleveland sit
as Presid dent OF the United States, tn
eficiary OF these fraods and VIC
lence.
The Republican party will never los
populartty by denouncing fraud an
violence at elections, notwithstApdir
the ory of bloody shit that is raise
against them. Fair electons al
honest counts may not suit the Dem
Gratis. but they are right in theor
right In practice, honest in principi
and will triumph in the end.
The third reason Judge Foraker a.
duces for Republican success, was u
distrust Of the people for the free-trac
tendencies Of the Democratic party, al
n desire to keep up the Republics
ascsudency In the United States Sena
as the means of checking the tenden'
of the Democratic party TO tamper wi
the tariff in the interests OF free trao
The Repu blicans OF Ohio planted thel
aelyes 50 arely on tho side OF protecti
and won thousands OF unempioye
Democrats who have had no work
much amount since the agitation OF
tariff has locked up capital as well
manufacturing industries. The peoI
ofOhio have sAid by their votes at I
late election that protection and I
free trade must be encouraged, a
many Of them have said by their vol
IL they cannot get protection from
Democratic party they will get IT frt
the Republican party The other t
reasons which Judge Foraker addu!
as part causes Of Republican success
entirely local in their operations, Blu
free and honest suffrage and protecti
to American industries are the cardi
purposes that will lead the Republics
TO success wherever intelligence I
walls and honest elections are held.
