 We renew our fealty to that party which preserved us as a nation, established equal fly before the law, built up all the great 1 industries which have added wealth to our exckequer and honor 10 the American name, and maintained the national suprem- acy on land and sea,
 point with priee to the record of the Re blIcan party, party which scizzd tbe government when the nation was in the throes of political dissolution, which restored the national authority and rebuilt with herculean energy the national credi | We point with pride to the fact that the Re l publican party upon its accession to power received the government ef the Ratioa iu distracted condition, torn py disscnsions and | q prey to conspirsc cies and factions, that at the end Of 25 years it turned over the gey- ernment to its Democratic successors with { the ''old flag still there," not a star dimmed nor stripe crased, with the Union restored ard financial credit unimpaired, an over flowing treasury and the public credit higher than that of any nation on earth, with confidence in our ability fully restored, tie national escuteheon untarnished and the American Rane the synonym Of patriotic virtue.
 We condemn the administration of Grover Cleveland as being false tc it's pledges, and hypocrltical in its dealings.
