meet you at my home tonight, and /
congratulate you upon having enrolled
yourselves on the side of the Repub-

81 ander history; no party ever did more
for mankind, for liberty, for equality

you have enlisted No party appeals
more to the intelligence and pride and
the patriotism of young men than ours.
Il appreciate this call. The young
men are always an inspirat ton to me.
They are the hope of the community,
the State and the nation. (Applause)
In little while will fall upon them the
duties and responsibilities which are
now borne by those who are older
| love to have the young men about me;
and / can do no better than to say to
each of you to-day-those of you who
| have your careers yet to make and your
fortunes yet to build can do no better
| IL an to say to you that there is nothing
| in the world that will serve you SO well
as good character, clean in morals and
| III life. (Applause.)
Il do not care what you may con-
| clude to do; whether you engage in
| business or a profession; what you
may choose as your occupations; there is
| nothing that means so much or will
wear as well as good habits and spot
| less name. You have done well in thus
first voting to enlist under the banner
of the Republican party, which repre-

within its doctrines and PURPOSES the
| honor Of the country and the greatest
prosperity of all the people," (Great
