said the reason why the Republicans
had chosen SO able q lot OF represent.
atives was that a new and vital issue
confronted the party at this time.
We had awakened to the discovery
that in opening our land as an asy-
lum to the oppressed of foreign
lands we had become g. mere catch
basin for criminals and cranks OF the
Old World. We have been nursing g.
viper in our bosom and it turns to
sting us. He denounced the Democ-
racy for Installing poison into the
minds of workingmen by making them
believe their interests were Identical
with the imported doctrine of An
archy and violence; thus has
Democracy, in an endeavor to
catch votes, toyed with secession,
fiat money and Mormonism. No class
more needs the protection of society
than the laboring men. The Repub-
lican party promises that protection,
and was never known to go back on
it's promis es. The Democracy were
Turing the workingmen into the grave
yard OF Bourbonism, with hope and am
bition buried on every side. The friends
of the workingmen were not there,
but in the Republican party
the true friends OF labor and the
advocate of dignity. The Republican
party upholds the old flag and oil it
represents, and those who tear down
the principles it stands for must
suffer. In no other manner can the
Republicans of Wisconsin so sure
ly record it's opinion as by
the renominatipg by acclamaticn
of Gov. Rusk. We must cay TO
