FOURTH WARD.
large number of Fourth ward
Republicans assembled in the circuit
court room, and were called TO order
by l.. Bowen, chairman OF the ward
committee. He called upon Fred A.
Maynard for some remarks prior 10 the
business of the meeting. Mr.. Maynard
made one OF his brilliant speeches,
touching briefly upon many points
which be will doubtless enlarge upon
during the campaign.
lie said the Republicans of the Fourth
ward had met to assist in the prepara-
tons for whipping the Democrats, the
time honored vocation of oUr party.
He congratulated the Republicans OF
the ward that one of their number,
Henry NJ. Rose. had been chosen 10
head the county ticket, and the Repub-
hcans generally on securing 50 satlsfac-
tory = successor TO Mr.. Clark. We
have an efficient committee, but all
must work, and the victory viii come.
This is called an '.otf year" After the
vigorous work of last campaign, II IS
but natural that there should he lull,
but we should remember that we are
blessed with goodly heritage winch
we are 10 preserve, protect and trans
NIT 10 our children. There is no "oh
year" IN the performance of duty, and
the duty IS always paramount 10 defend
and protect the right. Let us light
our torches at the altar OF Republican-
ISM and fight the cause of Republican,
ism, for IN our hearts we can say we
believe IN its principles. The record of
the Republican party Is the record OF
American liberty. All that is brightest,
best and purest II American politics Is
the result Of Republican endeavcrs.
While things are as they are IN this
country, the Republican party must be
always right and the Democratic party
wrong, TOR the Republican party repre-
sents the civilization of the North and
the Democratic party that OF the South.
Those two civilizations are COntendlng
for the victory, the North against the
South. Where the school house IS a
curiosity and the church a mystery,
there Democrats prevail. Where the
newspaper abounds, and intelligence
prevails, and personal liberty Is secure,
there Republicans are found. 1t is the
nature OF the leader to see things ahead
and the follower to see things when
they are past. That is tho relation Of
the two parties. The Democrat Is like
q man riding IN a car backward and
seeing the things after they are past.
/ They say That Republicans are
always looking at the past
We can look back upon a
glorious record, while memory to the
Democrats IS 4 curse. Never has a Con-
gresS done so much, never has a House
passed SD many laws of value TO the
people rs the present one. All the real
revision OF the tariff laws and reduc-
ton OF taxation has been done 10y the
Republican party. They mad cat OFT
. s245, 900 0 o OF tariff duties. and Will cut

/ All the rev rses of the Republican
party, except the defeat OF Blaine had
occurred in July and August. That is
when toe Democrats win their victories.
