That's what the Republican party stands
for this year. Among the other good
things 1t stands for are law and order
1t stands for the honor Of the govern

In response Major Mckinley said:
You could not have brought me gift

picture of my old friend, a friend Of
every soldier of the whole country.
(Great cheering.) I know not soldier
during or since the war, whose life was
more signally devoted to patriotism and
love of country. He was a devoted
worshiper of the flag. His voice was
always eloquent for country, for hui
manity, for the private soldier. He new

principles of the Republican party,
which he loved, strove for to the event
of his eventful career. I am glad to
greet this assemblage of citizens rep

Republican ranks. (Great applause.)
And you must keep them with you and
continue to receive them. This year

applause. This is year when those
who stand opposed to us indulge in gilt
tering promises. They offer a remedy
which they say will cure all our ills. We
might accept their services, take their
remedies If we had not been doctored be-
fore by them. Great laughter and ap-
plause.) Free trade and free silver are
false friends to labor. (Applause.) They
lure with promises Of cheap commodities
and cheap money. Partial trial of free
trade proved that cheap commodities
promised are dear to labor and, at the

Well, the free wool bill passed Have
any Of you realized the promises then
made? (Cries of mo, no.") Wool was
made free and every man in this coun-
try knows how poorly the performance
tailed with the promises then made.
