NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Uudu udu successfully
settled more national questions, involv-
ng the welfare and material prosperity
Of the country, than any previous
administration since Lincoln. Our ma
;ional honor had been maintained and
our flag protected all over the globe.
The republican candidate for vice
president was also a man who went to
the front in defense of his country, and
who has arisen from the lowest round of
fame to the manager of the greatest
in the country. AS a states
man he had been a success-as minister
10 France he had succeeded in inducing
that country to raise the embargo from
American pork, and to-day American
hog is respected in Paris-making a great
market for America.
Our standard bearers we're true and
patriotic specimens Of American man
hood and craftsmanship.
Against them we're pitted men who
also have record-records that we're we'll
known, aud he left his hearers to decide
between them and those of the republic
nominees. The history of the parties
was an open book-that of the republi-
can, progress; that of the democratic,
retrogression. One
A PARTY OF THE EVER LIVING PRESENT,
the other a monument of the pasta
party opposing advancement and urging
a step backward. Under republican
rule the country had been prosperous,
and the national debt reduced beyond
all expectation and without great bur-
den. For thirty years the democratic
party had OPPOSED every great question
of national Importance, and at last had
got around to the advocacy of free trade
and industrial depression. The republic
can party had always been for protec-
ton, integrity, economy, freedom, and
sound currency. In 1861 the republican
party took hold of the government and
found not a cent in the treasury, her
credit ruined and her bonds unstable.
Now her national credit is unexcelled
and her industrial prosperity-thanks to
republican sagaoity-has distanced all
other nations. .
The speaker desired to call attention.
to significant parallels. On the demo-
cratic side Martin Van Buren, was
defeated for reelection, because he
ought to have been. Cleveland was de-
feated in 1888, because he ought to have
been, and he will be defeated in 1892 for
the same reason. On the reput lican
side Abraham Lincoln was successful,
because for every reason between man
and God he ought to have been. Grant,
the silent soldier, who destroyed the
entertainments of rebellion, was success
full, because he ought to have been, and
Harrison, the soldier, orator, statesman,
patriot, ought and
WILL Be SUCCESSFUL ON NOV. 9TH.
He couldn't understand why the
democrats renominated Cleveland. I'm.
less it was to catch mugwumps. 1t
reminded him of the story of the woman
whose husband suddenly disappeared,
and whose body was found two weeks
later in a creek near by. A committee
waited on the widow to break the awful
news of the discovery of her husband,
"My God, where is he" she asked. The
committee told her he was in the creek
and his body was full of cells. Her fond.
ness of cells prompted her to exclaim;
els that SO; for goodness sake take the
cells out of HIM and set him again." 1t
was the best bait she had ever heard of
Possibly so with Cleveland-the best
bait for mugwumps the democrats could
find.
The republican platform stands fol
protection, reciprocity, honest money
and no debasement of the currency
On this latter plank alone the republican
party deserved success. The country
desires no return to wild-cat currency
Every old man knew full we'll what thai
meant-when the value of 80. called
money huctuated to such an extent that
no one knew from one hour to another
the value of the money he had in hit
possession. The democratic party would
revive the old state bank system anc
abolish national banks, and a system
wherein nc man looks to see by whai
bank his paper money is issued. A So
bill issued by a bank in Pennsylvania il
just as good in North Dakota as one
made here. That was the republican
idea of sound currency. Our 81 pei
cent. government bonds are to day the
choicest securities IN the world.
He spoke of the grand triumph of the
Mckinley bill, and how by the basest
Misrepresentation only we're the demo
Gratis enabled in 1883 to gain a temporary
congressional victory.
