temporarily stop the prosperity OF the
country, as it has done and now il doing,
but the party that stands in the way OF the
prosperity of the country will be got out
Of the way by the votes of the American
people [Applause.]
a Party of Destruction.
'sThe party that destroys the prosperi-
ty of this country will itself lie destroyed
and that is the work in which we are en-
gagged here today; and every time the
people get an opportunity they will help
and are helping in the destruction Of the
Democratic party-the party that stands
in the way Of our material prosperity.
Loud cheering.]
Every state in this union that has
spoken since the year 1892 has reversed
its opinion and has spoken in favor Of
the Republican party. We started IN
Massachusetts M in 1898; that state ell ected
a Democratic governor in 1892, and in
1898 the voice of 1892 was reversed and
$4,000 majority was given to Governor
Greenhalge, the Republican candidate
for governor in that great state Then
we went to Iowa. Iowa had had Dem
ocratic governor and Democratic domi-
nancy, and it is remarkable how quick
they got tired, Populist or Democrat, and
that Democratic majority in Iowa was
transformed into Republican majority
for Governor Jackson of more than
$4,000.
The Buckeyes In Kansas
Then, my countrymen, we came to
Ohio loud cheer5l and the people
of Kansas just like the peo-
people of Ohio [Cheers.] Many OF them
came from that great Buckeye state. |
have met them at every turn since came
in this generous commonwealth Of Kan
sas Ohio in 1892 had given plurality
of 1920, and in 1893 she gave a Republi-
can plurality of $1,000, and it will be
larger this year than it was last. ICheer-
ing
to a close, but what 1 want TO say-what
/ want to impress upon you is that every
time the people of this country have
had an opportunity since the cleo
ton in 1892 to vote in any of
the northern, eastern great north
western states they have spoken without
exception in favor of the Republican
party, and only recently ia the state of
Maine they got majority, the like Of
which we never mad before, and sent
back to Washington Thomas b. Reed,
the great Republican leader Of that state,
(great and extended cheers), and what l
want you to do here in Kansas 10 to help
elect a Republican house of representa-
tives. / remember your old deleR cation
W hen it was solidly Republican. ! re-
member the men who served ten or
dozen years or more with me in that
national house. aud well | remember how
they stood faithfully for the interests of
their party and the interests of the peo-
pie Of the entire country.
Send Solid Delegation.
"Send solid delegation back this
year. Ohio is going to put six Republi-
cans in the place of six Democrats at the
election this fall. Do your part and
the national house will be Republican,
and the opportunity for mischief by
the Democratic party will be stopped
on the fourth day of March next. They
say they are going to cut deeper. They
say they are going TO reduce duties still
lower. They say they are going still
further to degrade American citizenship,
and the only way to stop it is to take the
reins OF government out of their hands.
LET us commence to do it by electing
a Republican house OF representatives
and then when your election is over /
want TO have the glad tidings sent me
that Major Morrill,, my old colleague,
your candidate for governor, has been
elected by an old time Kansas RepuDIi-
can majority
