SHOWS, in that section, we had these seven
and half weeks. Two weeks were con-
sumed in holding State Convention. non
! partizan in character. and the appointment
of State Committee having the arrange
ment of our work. was chosen, fortunate
ly or unfortunately, as the chairman OF
| that distinctively non-partizan committee.
The campaign was waged with consider
able vigor and no man has ever charged
that the campaign was not distiDetively
and clearly non-partizan i'll every respect.
Not document of a partizan character
was scattered, not partizan address was
delivered, not one favoring any political
| party, and yet not single Republican po-
iltician Of prominence went ON the stump
for that amendment. A large number Of
men OF local prominence, of course did.
Not single Republican newspaper of any
prominence in the State-mark me. r

word TO say in behalf of the adoption of

occasionally meet good men Of the Re-
publican party who say, Now, sir, what
you say about our party is all true, but
DO you not think you ought to stand for
the Republican party because the majority
OF that party is right on this question:
want to say that my Republican friend
who asks me to stand by his party because
the majority of his party is right on this
question, has UNIV ittingly himself given
me sufficient reason for refusing to stand
with the Republican party. Applause.
Are We to judge of tue action of party by
| contemplating either its minority or ma
jority? 1t is mere boyish trick 1t is
boy s play to talk about the majority of
the party being right and confess that the
minority of the party is wrong. and then
to ask us to stand by that party for such
a reason. Applause. A party is an or
ganic whole. We are to consider the marty
as unit, and not to ask ourselves abont
the composition of the minority or tie
teal question is '.where does the party as
| a whole stand, aud what can the party
do Applause. ] A party is a mere ma
chine and must be weighed as whole and
not as to its component parts

is broken. look at one of those great
driving wheels and discover that perhaps
half or one-third of the ilanee is gone.

say: For Gods sake. my mani You
don't intend to take this fast express train
to Pittsburg with such loeomotive?'' and
he says. Certainly do; climb on board
or you will be left" But say, Look at
