The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1888-10-13

The following address by Mrs. j.
Ellen Foster was delivered at the re-
cent Republican rally at Woodstock,
Conn. 1t is considered one of the
most able of all the eloquent speeches
made on that occasion. In it she
forcibly and convincingly gives the
correct views about the relation of the
Temperance party with the Demo-
cratic party and the Republican party
and all other parties:
Men whose names are synonyms of Re
publicanism and power, and better yet of
Americanism, speak to you to-day in ad-
YOcacY of Republican principle and of the
Republican ticket. | congratulate you,
and congratulate myself on this auspici-
GUS gathering; insensible must that heart
be which is not moved by these enuncia-
tons of great principles, these reviews Of
their historic development and of their
National application and illustration 1t is
well that we be thus stirred.
The routine of toll, the ordinary round
of citizen duties, are the fruitful soil out of
which are grown the staple foods on which
the Nation feeds; even as the prairies of
my great West give bread for the mill

with iaundced flesh, ask the rheumatic
with stiffened joint, and he will answer:

blessed with perfect health to pause and
reflect on their happy condition. The Re-
publican party only half conscious of it's
fortunate lot has been filled with this rich
blood which mantles its cheeks and fills it's
brain and nerves with healthiest tissue,
and gives it the unconscious vigor of po-
litical health.
Among the questions presented for the
consideration of electors in this campaign
is the relation of political parties to the
temperance question.
The Democratic party is the open ally OF
the saloon; it admits the impeachment and
glories in the fact
The so-callcd Prohibition party assumes
