dental campaign, we were cody
informed that the Republican party
had elected its last president, that
it's work was done and that from
the very nature of things, il would
have to give way for more pro-
gressiye and wideawake organiza-
ton, one inspired with loftier
motives and aspiring to higher
planes.
But the record of '88 shows that
the people were not yet ready to
dispense with the services OF the
party that had, with everything 10
contend with, evolved some Of the
best Legislation in the history Of
nations. 1t was again entrusted
with power, and the present admin
istration has, with statesmanlike
ability, coupled with businesillke
manner, attended to the affairs Of
Uncle Sam, both at home and
abroad, remembering that their
first duty was to the nation over
whose destlnles they were called 70
preside.
And it has ever been the Republi.
can policy, that Americas needs
and demands were first to be con
sldered, aud as a result we fnd our
selves to-day the most prosperous,
most progressive aud best governed
nation of earth, rlch IN our re.
sources, sound in our finances aud
careful in our economies; proud,
fair and mighty.
And SO 1t is that, conscious OF
grand achievement. in the past aud
Of work well done, the Republican
party faces the future, confident
and aggressive, determined that,
come what will, the American flag
must continue 20 float and tell TO
the world, through It's clustered
stars, that we are in fact, as we'll as
in name, The United States Of

From the manner in which this |
preliminary work has beer con. |
Quoted it is fair to assume that the |
election of Speaker will be but the |
beginning of new troubles for the |
democrats. There will be half a |
dozen claimants for every chairman
ship Of a prominent committee aud
the disappointed men will be apt to
be heard from on the floor of the
House, and when the getting even"
process is started the republicans of
the House are not likely to retard it
any. Besides, the Speaker viii
have the impossible task Of satisfy
ing the various outside elements
that have contributed, directly or
indirectly, to his election. That
the House will be an unruly body is
certain.
Proofs that the Alliance move
ment in the South will not antago-
nize the democratic party are
constantly turning up, The latest
is the withdrawal of the Alliance
candidate for the vacancy in the
Eighth Virginia Congressional dis
trict caused by the death Of the late
Representative Lee. This with
drawal was made after all arrange
ments had been made 10 make an
aggressive canvass Of the district,
with the assistance Of the Alliance
contingent ia Congress, and the
only reason therefor is that the re-
publicaus of the district have
nominated candidate. The ALI
ance people, although claiming to
nave been -nubbed and insulted by
the regular democrats, will swallow
their grievances rather than to take
any chances Of the election of a
republican,.
Ex-senator Edmunds, who has
been here since the opening of the
Supreme Court, concluded not to
remain until Congress o"ened, so
he has gone To Aiken, South Caro-
lima, to join his family He was
asked just before he left who was
his preference for President next
year. "lhe nominee OF the repub-
bean convention" he replied. eff
he Is the worst republican in the
country he viii be preferable to the
best democrat"
The hearing of the arguments by
the Supreme Court in the three
cases brought for the purpose of
breaking down the Mckinley tariff
law, which took place last week,
was not calculated 10 encourage the
gentlemen who nave been persuaded
10 furnish the money To hire the
hgh-prleed lawyers. One of these
suits Is brought on the GROUND that
the omission Of the tobacco rebate
clause from the bill as signed by the
President makes the whole bill void
another that the sugar bounty clause
was unconstitutional and the other
that the reciprocity clause is un-
constitutional. For convenience th
three cases were heard as one, aud
II there was any doubt of what the
final decision viii be it was almost
entirely dissipAted by the tenor Of
the questions put by the Justices
during the argument to the lawyers.
The conSlitutionahty of the law
was ably maintained by Attorney
General Miller and Solicitor
General Taft.
