agreeable to me and that have left
more agreeable memories which shall
cherish forever than the years l spent

convention. c. w. Fairbanks, Of Indi-
ana. answering a call. remarked.
There was some question when that
great congress met at St.. Louis. In the
minds Of some. as to what would be
the declaration Of our party faith. In
the days OF Abraham Lincoln the re-
publican party did not straddle upon
the supreme question Of slavery. and
when the war came the republican
party did not divide or straddle but
spoke with UNIVERSAL unity. AL the
great questions before the people, tar
in and currency. the republican party
never straddled. and 1t did not straddle
at St. Louis"

wisdom than the republicans Of any
one section. (Applause). They recog-
nize the fact that the republican party
stands for other things than the money
question. With all the other great ques-
tions and with a candidate who Is not

on which he stands, but is the living
embodiment Of republican progress, re-
publican patriotism, there will be no
question about the state of Washing
