Babcock's conduct of the congressional
committee, Mr.. Clarkson said:
The meeting of our committee was,
IN fact. one in regard TO work cext YEAR

own work to be carried on after the
November elect on. By patty custom,
tue entire interests of the psrty are el-

fore Chairman Eabcock aud his COL
leagues have the entire right Of way in
party management and control. have
happened to know great deal about
the campaign they have made, as was
in Warrington several months during
the start of it when it was organized. |
can say of it that it has been the most
clearheaded and systematic campaign,
beginning early, taking up every detail,
covering every neighborhood in the
county and developing fully the moral
and intellectual strength of the party
on tie strength of its politics, thst has
been organized in the history of the
party.
The most of our campaigns begin too
late, and therefore have to go by Jump
ing stages and cavalry charges aud
mere headlong energy, and by throw
ing masses of power against the weak
points of the enemy, instead of depend.
ing on our own strength the justice of
our cause, and making and keeping our
line strong at every point Chairman
Babcock started early. and aided by his
colleagues, and Secretaries Odds and
Mckee put bis organization on the bed
rock, and with such system and detail
as to develop the strength of the repnb-
lican party and its policies and princi-
pies in every voting neighborhood of
the northern states. No voter has been
left unpossessed of facts of the republic
can party's record. and the wisdom and
benetcence of Its theories and principles
as applied to every home in the land.
MIR. Babcock rea ICES that the present.
day politics is question affecting the
comfort of every home and material
condition of every citizen.
He has made his campaign one to
reach every home and every voter, and
to show them by comparison what the
republican party has done to benefit
them, and what the democratic party
is doing to injure them. He believes
and he is right in the belief, that the re-
publican party can gain more voters by
convincing them than by buying them.
He leaves the buying to the democrati c
party. and depends on convincing the
voters as being at once the most honest
and the most successful method of
gaining to the republican party a ma
jority. This sort of campaign he has
made in the most splendid manner,
and so far from the national commit
tee, or any member of it, doubling the
wisdom or the success of his campaign
ing, directly the contrary is true.
He was invited to our conference
last Thursday, because more than any
other man in the parry he knew the
situation of the country at large, be-
cause the committee knew that on the
high lines have indicated, and with
no more money than enough 10 print
and circulate large quantities OF effec-
tive literature, he is making a success
full and winning campaign for his par
ty Indeed, concluded Mr.. Clarkson
mir. Babcock has shown such peculiar
skill anu ability in managing a COM
plete and thorough campaign with so
little money, that | hope we are to have
more Babcocks hereafter in the execu-
tive management of our party.
'In giving this estimate OF him |
know am speaking for every member
of the national committee. He is GO
lug present the republican party
with the splendid gifts of a republican
majority in the House and the next
Senate, and to the nation the great gift
of deliverance from any further bane-
