rhc history Of the Republican party Is well known,
and In the full understanding OF that history you are
called upon 10 decide who shall be rulers for tile
next four years. 10 decide as TO the principles Of the
party to which your allegiance shall be given No
important duty can come 10 clilzcn than this.
Il am not here to borlte opponents nor to
speak Of the candidates Of the opposition in any tone
If dersion. am here TO call your attention 20 the
results Of Republican rule and to ask you whether
has been for The best interests Of country. IN
this campaign no contuInely will DE hcapeI either
candidate. The question to their abilities or their
characters Is not open for discussion. EOth have
been tried in the high executive oc" of the Presidency.
In tho last eight years the Nation has had an OPP
portunity to test the principles Of both the great
parties AMI It upon the result OF this test that
Republicans appeal to the people, confident Of their

We having occupied and developed great continent
under It's bcnncent influence shall say to the Old
World our markets free TO YOU and all the benefits
VIC have wrestcd from and land are equally yours.
