cd friend,
THE TACtruRS SENATOR QUAY,
he who says so little, does great deal
to appear before you for the purpose and
for the sole purpose OF saying in such
ways as l may aad with euch arguments
and reasons II, may present, why it is
that the Republican party is entitled to
the continued confidence OF the Repub
licans Of Allegheny county, and why its
and supremacy should be
maintained iu the State OF PENNSYLVANIA
and in the Nation.
Fellow-citfzens OF Allegheny COUNTY,
in popular representative form Of gov
ernment, political parties are au indis.
pensible necessity. When there is no
dynasty, no reigning family, no heredi.
tary nobility, no prerogative nor class
distinction, the Government is the party
in power, and hence it is that every
American citizen should be politician.
Not in the sense OF beinga candidate for
Office, but in the larger, in the wider and
in the nobler sense Of taking nm intelli-
gent interes. in public aGAirs. Zap
plause.
Aud from the spectacle l see before
me should be inclined to think that in
the sense which l describe. the Republi.
cans Of Allegheny county need no further
instructions from me. Aud not only
should every citizen be a politician, but
a partisan politician. never have
learned the lesson Of belonging TO the
Republican party little. ! never have
learned the lesson OF voting for the
candidate upon the Republican ticket
occasionally. A man ought to be poll.
ticjan as in everything else, a partisan
politician. He ought to believe that his
vile is the best, his children the most
attractive, his city, bis State and his
country the noblesl and most deserving
OF his devotion, or he is not worthy Of
having wife, children, city, State or
country.
no USE FOR MUGwUMps.
There is certain class OF politicians
sometimes belonging to one party and
sometimes to the other, who are go ex.
traordinarily perpendicular that they
lean over u little backward, who are
never quite sure that they are belonging
to a party unless they are voting for the
candidates OF the other, and giving aid or
comfort to their adversaries. Therefore,
Mr.. President and fellow citizens OF
Pittsburgh, / confess to being partisan
politician, and | have no sympathy with
those who roll up their eyes until you
can see nothing but the whites, and
hold up their hands in holy horror, and
enlarge the borders Of the philactories,
anu stand on the corners OF the streets
magnifying their own virtues, and
thanking God that they are not as
other Republicans. lii man is Demo.

for the last thirty years, the Republican
party has always been right and the
Democratic party
HAS ALWAYS BEEN WRONG.
And it is just exactly as wrong at thil

1901, or any time since 1861. Slavery
