business since the days of Washington. has been
courageously embodied into a ,code-a code
which has preserved the principle Of the pro-
lection of American industries. To it has been
by benefcent treaties and wise diplo-
macy, which has opened to our farm
ers and manufacturers the markets
of other countries. The navy has been built
upon lines which will protect American citizens
and American interests and the American flag

off. The public credit has been maintained.
The burdens of taxation have been lightened.
Two hundred millions of currency have been

"Unexampled prosperity has crowned wise
laws and their wise administration. The main
ques ton which divide Us is: To whom does the
credit of all this belong? Orators may stand
upon this platform more able and more eloquent
than 1, who will paint in more brilliant colors,
but they cannot put in more earnest thought
the affection and admiration Of republicans
for our distinguished Secretary of State.
yield to no republican, no matter from which
state he halls, in admiration and respect for
John Sherman, for Governor Mckinley,
for Thomas B. Reed, for Iowa's great
son, for the favorites of ILL
nois, Wisconsin and Michigan. But when
am told that the credit for the brilliant
diplomacy of this administration belongs exclu-
sively to the Secretary of State, for the admin
istration Of its finances to the Secretary of the
Treasury. for the construction of its ships to
the Secretary Of the Navy. for the introduction
Of American pork in Europe to the Secretary Of
Agriculture, for the settlement, SO far as 1t is
settled, OF the currency question to Senator
John Sherman, for the formulation of
tariff laws to Gov. Mckinley, for the
removal Of the restrictions placed by foreign
natiGns upon the Introduction Of American
pork to our ministers at Paris and Berlin, am
tempted to seriously inquire who during the
last four years has been President Of the United
States anyhow.
Caesar, when he wrote those commentaries
which were the history of the conquests OF Eu-

Gen. Thomas, as the Rock OF Chicka-'
mauga,' occupies place in OUT history with
Leonidas among the Greeks, except that he
succeeded where Leonidas failed. The fight Of
Joe Hooker above the clouds was the poetry Of
battle. The resistless rush Of Sheridan and his
steed down the valley of Shenandoah is the epic
OF our civil war. The march Of Sherman
from Atlanta to the sea Is the supreme triumph
Of gallantry and strategy. 1t detracts nothing
from the splendor Of the fame or the merits Of
the deeds Of his Geutenants to soy that having
selected them with marvellous sagacity and dis
erection, Grant still remained the supreme COM
mander of the national army.
10 WHOM ohhDir Is DUE.
All the proposed acts OF any administration
before they are formulated are passed upon in
cabinet council, and the measures and sug-
gestions Of the ablest secretaries would have
failed with q lesser President. But for the
great good Of the country and the benefit Of
the republican party they have succeeded, be-
cause OF the suggestive mind, the indomitable
