Platform and aes0iutiOns

| ne record OF the KepuOilCan party
is its best platform.
No political party in human history
has taken such advanced positions
for the equality of races, none has SO
| welded the administration of author
| itY to the needs of business, none has SO
managed the affairs of State as to
| encourage the development and settle
ment of a continent, none has elevat-
| ed a nation and so contributed to the
| comfort and happiness of man, none
has so honestly and economically car
| ried on the routine duties of office.
In all things it has been the direct
opposite of the Democratic party.
| Grand in its ambitions and impulses,
| firm and resolute in its consistency,
strong in its devotion to principle, it
is now, as it has been from its berth,
the representative of all that is best
! and noblest in its own country and
hope and promise of a better future
| for the human race.
Its battles for human rights, its pre-
| servation of the Union, its abolition
! of slavery, its protection to labor, its
| elevation of manufacturers, its uphold
| ing of the national credit, its efforts
| in behalf of honest financial methods,
/ its homestead system and its devotion
| to popular education have made for it
| the greatest record of any political or
| ganizatiOn this or any other country
ever had.

The crime of filibustering, so often
resorted to by the Democratic party
for the purpose of defeating legisla-
ton and blocking the wheels of gov
ernment, has been done away with
by the genius of Reed, Mckinley and
their associates, and che offenders
taught that congressman are paid by
the people for making laws and not
bad politics.
