The Republican party had a great op-

opposed by large part OF the Demo-
cratic party. and Il Is q much more dIfa-
cult thing for a man TO oppose wrong
in his own party than in his opponents.
Here were Democrats willing to nrray
themselves in opposition TO the policy
OF the President, not because they loved
the President less. but because they
love the people infinitely more. Cap
plause.) When the Republicans as
sembled in ST. Louis, II they had OPP
posed the Presidents financial policy
