Whitney then told how the Republican
Press association was organized, explained
it's aims, and said that while surrender

viduality, we desire 10 extend the hearth

party"
Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa was introduced
and he spoke as follows:
''It is great pleasure to me-" he began,

of editors, business men and politicians.
have come here more to get my own pol
itical strength renewed than anything
else, feeling that close contact with Min
nesota enthusiasm will do me good. One
of the great troubles with some of the
Western states is that they have been d
lit lie remiss about voting the Republican
ticket. never had as much faith in poll
tics as some people and my acquaintance
people must rely on themselves and not on

desire Only a few things are certain in
this world. I have read number of lee
lures on religious certainties, but all l
could find was two, enc being that we are
here and the other that we must go hence.
$50 it is with politics and everything
else find. One thing I have found that
is certain, and that is that the Republican
party had in 1892 produced commercial
industry and security the like of which
the world has never known. I often feel
like turning back to it to show what the
American people can do when the country
Is in the hands of wise and conservative
men. l am a believer in the Republican
party that is and has been. met a man
on the train coming here who had the au-
dacity to tell me that the Republican
party had been in league with the Bank of
England, and suggested that it would be
good thing if few practical men like
General Weaver and General Coxey would
get hold of the country. then wondered
from my heart that if Grant and Lincoln
were blind to the interests of the country
when they were in power, God help us
when General Weaver and General Coxey
secure control
Our Country Under Republican Rule.
''The whole history of our country in Is
prosperous years was written by the Re-
publican party, and look upon it as the
most splendid epoch in the history of the
human race The Republican party wrote
every line of that history, it was the prod
uct solely of Republican legislation"
He told of the time the Republicans
took charge of the nation and found not
nickel in the treasury and in eloquent
words detailed how the party had re-
claimed the country from chaos and estab-
ished a long era of prosperity.
IF were editing Republican paper"
he cried, II would pound away on the his
tory 1t has created for itself and the ma
ton. would take the pictures of Grant
and Lincoln and Blaine and Garfield and
hang the pictures on the wall and give the
biographies of the men to my children to
read. l would use the biographies to my
children as educators in patriotism and
liberty. However, wouldn't undertake
the campaign solely on that, but if party
could live on it's record ours could and if
one could live on broken promises the
Democratic party could live in luxury
The Republican party must be faithful to
it's obligations 1t has solemn contract
with the American people to take care of
the men who gave everything they had
even their ives-to save the nation from
disaster. And those old gray headed vet
Grams have been driven from the treasury
of the United States by the Democratic
party without shadow of regard for the
gratitude that is due them. The Republi-
can party will keep itself going with re-
spect to labor. 1t seems to me that there
is one thing American labor has which no
political party can take from it, and that
is the right to employ it's skill and sell the
product of the skill in the American mar
ket."
The Tariff Discussed.
He then entered upon rapid discussion
of the tariff bill, which he said had been
talked about so much that it reminded
him of the young lady at Narragansett
pier, who said that she had eaten so many
CLANS that she arose and fell with the
tide. He said the trouble with the enemies
of the party was that they do not under
stand the principles of the bill and the
principles of protection. In the present
congress. instead of coherent and scien-
