the public spirit OF its citizens and the
fact that they stood together as one man.

1t is the duty OF every man to vote the
ticket. Let us all stay with the Repub-
lican party this year, even as the people
OF the East and of the West and of the
South are staying with that party. Good
men in those States-Democrats, Popu-
lists, Prohibitionists, independents =
have united with the Republican party
and have endeavored to express their
condemnation of the imbecility that has
characterized the National Government
to express their voices in favor OF
change by electing Republicans to Office.
The light of Republican victories has
been shining upon us for the past six
months.
You will know that in the darkness OF
| the night the stars come forth in the
ornament OF heaven and give light 10 the
| weary waytarer as he travels TO his home
or his business; and you know that these
stars, thus fixed in the sky by the hand
of the great Creator, go not down behind
the darkened west, but melt away into
the brightness of the orb OF day himself.
And so this year we have seen shining
| through the clouds of Democratic rule,
| which has overspread this whole Nation
like funeral pail, injnring every busi-
ness, paralyZing trade, running COM
merce, creating bankruptcy on every
| hand, and making the darkness to be felt
by all the people of all the States-we
have seen shining through this darkness
and this gloom the stars OF various States
of the Union. radiated by the brilliancy
of Republican victories.
The first was the star of Oregon. our
sister-State upon the Pacific slope; and in
the month OF June We saw the star of a
| Republican majority in that State that
! swept Pennoyer and his crew and the
Democracy alike from power; we saw it
streaming down ,wfah all its glory and its
radiance illuminating the whole William
mette Valley, coming across the Siskiyou
mountains, bathing the hills and the val-
leys OF California with its glory and it's
| brilliaucy, and giving cheer to the heart
of every Republican in this grand old
Golden State OF ours. Applause. And
later on we saw coming to US, from the
star that never sets-thas for forty years
has been fixed III the firnament OF our
