that you are sustaining your principles
All right. You may say you are showing
your sincerity by standing up to be
counted amongst the faithful, although
you are few in number. All right; that
may be good; but the proper way to
stand up and be counted for the right is
when 1t will do some good. Now, we are
engaged In the great work of putting the
Nation upon the right track. Our stage
coach has been overturned. We want TO
right the coach; we want to cure the pas
sengers; we, want to make the people
we'll. And until we have done that, until
we have changed this governmental
policy, you ought not to stand upon the
highways and preach a new doctrine.
You ought to aid all the people of ali
classes and of all parties to change this
government, from the manner in which
1t Is being conducted, back to the manner
In which 1t was conducted when the Re-
publican party had full possession of the
Nation and made the Nation prosperous
and the people happy.
And if you really believe in your re-
forms, it you really think that your re-
forms should become the law of the land,
IL is your duty to vote the Republican
ticket this year, get the country back
into proper shape, into peaceful and pros
porous habits, ana then convince the
country that you are right and the country.

but Go not this year strike half blow at
the Republican party.
There is room in these United States
Tor only tW parties-one affirming and
The other denying certain basic princl-
pies OH which this Government must ex-
lst. The third party simply comes in to
bother both parties and to injure none,
save the members of the third party. The
third party has no right to exist this
year. principally because this year we are
engaged IN the pressing labor of saving
the land, OF setting the country back in a
right direction, and our attention ought
not to be distracted from the real issue
by the cries of those who hold their
hands up and say, "Woe is me, Albania!
the land is corrupt and the people
thereofn
Mere crying in the Wilderness against
the evils OF the Nation will avail you
naughu. Join the Republican party,
party that has always had the courage to
do what was right; party that has in
scrlbed upon its record and acknowI-
edges as It's motto that sentiment of the
nero and the statesman, of the soldier
and the patriot Grant. ''Let no guilty
man escape" LCheers.l Our party can
be depended upon to do its duty at all
times. And ii you wish the country to
be prosperous; if you wish your reforms
to be inaugurated, stay with the Repub-
lican party. Leave it not in this hour OF
your country's peril, for in the great
hereafter your heart will beat against
your conscience, and they will both con-
vlct you OF having done a wrong to the
land that you claimed to love. lap

ask you vote Tor that ticket, not because
1t is Republican ticket-although that of
itself is a title to your esteem-I ask it be-
cause 1t represents the best interests OF
the country. You, young men, who this
year are to cast your first vote, who this
year have been stricken upon the shoulder
by the sword OF the genius of our Ameri-
can institutions and raised from your
knees, as you were bowed beneath the
temple OF freedom and obedience, to the
1ull stature OF an American sovereign, by
the grace of the Republican party; YOU.
young men, who cast your first vote this
year, remember that to start right Is TO
achieve success by at least one-half: and
remember that, if you vote the Repu blican
ticket this year, you are starting right in
the race OF life, no matter If you never
voie that ticket again.
Rest assured in the days to eome-as
years of experience, and trouble, and
love. and happiness, and children and
grand-chlIdren and wealth comes to YOU

days of '94 and congratulate yourself that
