other things that an honest government,
an honest ballot, an honest count aud pro-
lection of every form of American industry
will be forever the cardinal principles of
the republican party. [Applause.] We
stand today on .hallowed ground. On
yonder mountain, in sight Of that historical
battle hill where the continental soldiers
won a victory that made the nation, died a
great captain, who, by his great prowess
and his skill, saved for all time what con-
tinental soldiers had gained. Under the
shadow OF that grand name we meet here
today to renew our fidelity to the princi-
ourselves on that line Until the leaves fall
in November" Applause.
