is its best platform.
No political part" in human history
has taken such advanced positions
! for the equality of races, none has so
welded the administration of author
it TO the needs of business, none has 50
managed the affairs of a 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 duti IS of office.
In all things it has been the direct
\ opposite of the Democratic party.

strong in its devotion to principle, it
is now, as it has been from its berth,
the representative of all that is best
J and noblest in its own country and
| hope and promise of better future
I for the fUman race.
Its batl les for human rights, its pre-
servation of the Union, its abolition
of slavery, its protectionsto labor, its
elevation of manufacturers, its uphold
ing of the national credit, its efforts
| in behalf of honest finan ,ial 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 names of its heroes are legion,
and the deeds of Fremont, Lincoln,
Grant and Garfield will shrine like
electric lights on the pages of history.

correct and needed legisla ton than
any since the war.
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 oae Offenders
taught that congressman are paid by
the people for making laws and not
bad politics.

placed the silver question on basis
that viii lead naturally to free coinage
and disarm all opposition among
financiers.
1t has taken up the work of a read
justment of the tariff in a patriotic and
business-like way, such as viii protect
the interest of labor and at the same
time encourage capital to enterprise
that will furnish 1t with employment
at good wages.
