against any Of these things now-it ID
underneath them. The country In its
grand sweep has left all these things
to history; they are no longer subjects
of debate-theyare historical facts; they
are the sun-lighted peaks Of our most
brilliant and eventful epoch. We have
climbed the rugged and bloody pass.
The lowering clouds have lifted or have
fallen In refreshing showers. It ID .
time Of peace and amazing prosperity
throughout the land. So far az legisla-
ton and public administration can
shape the course of events, these things
haye come because of the wise, coura.
geous and patriotic legislation Of the
republican party; they have come be-
cause the democratic party has been
In the minority. There was . long
period in history:;of our country when,
as I had occasion to say once before,
the democratic party seemed to be
playing with our country the child's
game of "teeter." When the demo-
cratic party was up the country was
down, and when the country was up
the democratic party was down."
