THE REPUBLICAN COLUMN NOT TO BE SHAKEN.
This, 10 my mind, indicates fully that the Rcrub-
can column of 1888 Is not TO be shaken II indicates
unmlstakably that every State which We carried In
1884 Will be uneQuivocally ours in tho next clcc-
ton (Chccrs.) 1t also gives us an earnest, aye,
nm almost absolute, confidence that In this contest
every Northern State including New York (checrs AMI

ground and position which, in the last campaign.
tho Republican party have sought to make their oppo-
nonts occupy. But thcy have been unwilling heres
,oforc to their principles fairly and squarcly
to the American people. Four years ago the Dcmos
cratic party told the people Of the State OF NcwYork
that II they would put 1t In power II would guarantee
