You you not find him trying to destroy
the silver coinage of the nation, nor to re-
tire the greenback so dear to the people.
Nor vet to strike down the manufacturing
interests of the country in behalf of our
old enemy and present commercial rival.
You would not find him usurping the
functions of coordinate branch of the
Government and hundreds of times thwart-
ing the legislative will by reckless and
wanton use of the veto power that is shame
less in view OF the traditions of the Repub-
lie.
You will not find him sneering at the old
veterans, nor heaping gratutous insults
upon them, nor yet belittling and mimify-
ing their service nor refusing to permit
O grateful people to show their gratitude.
You would not find him filling the rep
resentative places of honor abroad with
men who have no just conception of what
this government is. who know nothing of
the indissoluble cohesion of these States
and whose only claim to recognition is to
be found in partisan service. You would
not find him returning rebel flags, those
honored trophies of grand victories, to

You would not find him paltering about
home rule in Ireland, and then consenting
to that partisan conspiracy, justified only
by the footpads' logic, that disfranchises
10000 900 free American citizens retains
them in territorial vassalage, and keeps the
name of Dakota from the shield that desig-
mates State.
You would not find him contentedly and
complacently accepting the fruits of that
