he hoped to merit their good opinion.

believe in the Republican party because
II has done more for my iellow.citizens
than any yet organized. 1t is the party
OF liberty, Of progress, OF intelligence,
and above all, 1t Is the party that has
always iimed to do right. 1t has always
dared to do right. 1t has hcwed TO the
line regardless OF the lodging place Of
the chips. And right hero lot me say
somcthing--If you find . man in any
party in this State talking Of war, test
oaths and registration, set him down ~
a political OulcaSt. Another thing, these
men, nine times out Of ten, don't know
Of what they are talking, aud whether
they wore the blue or the grey they are
in both parties and only an imag-
mary fence divides them. They
have moved to the North and East
from the South and Southwest, aud to
the South and Southeast from the East
and the North. The man who is stirring
up these dead embeB OF the past is not
