political outlook for our party's continued
ascendeucy. The platform of principles
adopted at Chicago, and upon which the
Republican party went before the people
and achieved Il signal success, eievating
Benjamin Harrison and Levi p. Morton
to the Presidency and Vice Presidency,
has been carried out in all its enuncia-
tions by the legislative and executive
departments of the government
The Repu blican party has shown to
the people of the United States tnat it
cannot only make, but keep its promises.
The history of the present Congress
has been frought with legislation in con.
