 "We meet to do honor to one whose achievements have heightened human aspirations and broadened the field of opportunity to the races of men. While the party with which we stand can justly claim him his fame has leaped the bounds of party and country and now belongs to mankind. What were the traits which made him leader and master without a rival in the greatest crisis in our country? Lincoln had sublime faith in the plain people. He walked with and among them. Among the statesmen of America Lincoln is the true democrat, and Franklin, per haps, excepted, the. first great one. Lincoln had that happy, peculiar habit which few public men have attained, of looking away from the deceptive and misleading influences about him straight into the hearts of the people.
 "The greatest names in American his tory are Washington and Lincoln. The fame of each will never die, and it will grow with the ages. Lincoln taught us that no party or partisan can escape re- sponsibility to the people; that no party advantage, or presumed party advant- age, should ever swerve us from the plain path of duty which is ever the path of honor and distinction. Cover nor Mckinley was frequently applaud ed. General Horace Porter finished the toast list, responding to Lincoln and Grant,"

General A. B. King paid a glowing tribute to the memory of Abraham Lincoln. United States Senator Allison of Iowa respond ed to the toast "The Republic at the Dawn of the Twentieth Century" and pictured unceasing success to the re- publican party.
 In reply to the toast Party Organiza- l tion," Hon. J. H. Manley of Maine, sec retary of the national republican com mittee, said mo great work can be &C., complished unless it relies for success | upon organization. But the organiza- l tion of a party Is simply to do the | party's will and carry out it's wishes | as laid down in convention, platform | and instructions. Whenever it seeks to | exert power outside of these limits it | becomes danger and a menace It is, not created to control or dictate to con ventions, nor to distribute or aid in | patronage. Lincoln declared that this | was "a government by the people and for the people," This doctrine is the founda- tion of our party. If we apply it to the organization of the party the organiza- tion will always be right The repub- lican party has set its face with un- yielding hostility to every attempt which may be construed into bossism Leadership it seeks and desires.
 '"The day has gone forever and re- joice in it when large expenditures for the success of the party will be needed The organization should remember that the party demands of it fidelity to the highest standards of public service. If IhO Oi Se1AllNebbAOh WIFI dlWdyS keep pe- l fore it the great doctrine of Mr Lincoln then the victories of 1894, which were the triumph of the partys principles, will be but the forerunners of the great CT victory in 1896, restoring to the re- publican party this government in all its branches-a victory which will mean good politics. good government, good times"
 Congressman Brosius of Pennsylvania talked about the Young Men of the Country" "They rightfully belong to the republican party" he said.
