Republican party, + = its principles and
purposes aud policies underlie every
American interest amd + allied with
true growth and advancement. Since
1859 until now the Democratic party
has been without power to do anything
with public measures without the sane

they have full possession. There is no

longer any room for hypocrisy. If
they believe in their own professions of

We have but to move on with our old
