shall truly express the views and wishes Of
majority of the qualified electors residing
within It. The results Of such elections are
not local, and the insistence OF electors resid-
ing In other districts that they shall be pure
and free DE- es not SAVIOR at all Of impertinence.
II, In any Of the states the public security Is
thought to he threatened by Ignorance among
the electors. the obvious remedy Is education;
The sympathies and help Of our people will
not be withheld from any community strng-
CLING with special endorsements or diMcul-
pr rs S proceed upon lawful lines and are
prompted by just and honorable methods.
How shall those who practice election frauds
recover that respect for ths ssnotty OF me BAL
Of true citizenship? The mau who has come to
regard the ballot box as q juggler's hat has re-
nounced his allegiance.
CoRRuPr PARTIsANsHIP HURrFUL TO PARTY.
Let us exalt patriotism and moderate our
party contentious. Let those who would die
for the flag on the field OF battle, give better
proof of their patriotism and higher glory to
their country by promoting fraternity and JUS
tice. party success that Is achieved by un-
fair methods or by practices that partake of
revolution is hurtful and evanescent even from
party standpoint. We should hold our differ
ing opinions in mutual respect, and. having
submitted them 20 the arbitrament of the bal
lot, should accept an adverse judgment with
the same respect that we ould haSe demand
ell of our opponents, If the decision had been
in our favor.
GODS GIFTS TO AMERICA.
No other people have q government more
worthy of their respect and love or q land so
magnificent In extent, so pleasant to look upon
and SO full OF generous suggestion to enterprise
and labor. God has placed upon our head a
wealth beyond definition or calculation. But
we must not forget that We take these gifts up
on the condition that justice and mercy shall
hold the reins of power and that the upward
avenues Of hope shall be Il ee to all the people.
NO MIsTRUsT OF THE FUTURE.
I do not mistrust the future. Dangers have
we have uncovered and vanquished them all
Passion has swept some of our communities
but only to give us new demonstration that
the great body of our people are stable, patriot
ic and law abiding. No political party can
long pursue advantage at the expense of public
honor or by rude and independent meth DDS,
without protest and fatal dieafection in its
body. The peaceful agencies of commerce are
more fully repeating the necessary uniting of
all our communities and the increasing inter-
course of our people Is promoting mutual res
pect.
PLEASURE IN THE NEXT CENSUS.
We shall find unalloyed pleasure In the reve-
lation, which our next census will make, of
same of the states. Each state will bring It's
generous contribution to the great aggregate of
the nations increase.
And when the harvests from the fields, the
cattle from the hills and the ores of the cart h
shall have been weighed, counted and valued +,
we will turn from them all to crown with the
highest honor the state tina has most promot-
ed education, virtue, justice and patriotism
among its people.
