Your teiesraphic message announcing

thanks for your great services in the cause
OF sound money and protection throughout
the campaign now closed and gloriously
won. They We're most general and effect

VIII be pleased to have you convey to
Your associates on the national committee
my high appreciation OF their efficient SER
vices.
THE people In their majesty. ignoring
party lines. have declared their destesta-
tion of reputation and dishonor. in what
ever specious guise they may be present
power affirmed their devotion to Law and
order and their undertaking respect for
Justice and the courts. They have pro-
claimed their unfaitering determination to
support and uphold the constituted au-
thorities OF the country. and have thereby
given new vigor and strength 10 our free
institutions. They have. indeed. again
consecrated themselves TO country and
baptized the cherished ordinances of free
government with n new and holy patri-
otism. The victory is not 20 party or sec
tion. but OF and for the whole American
people
Not the least OF the triumphs OF the
election Is the obiiteration of sectional
lines IN the republic. We have demon
strated TO the world that We are "a re-
united people In purpose as in name. We
have manifested in the great cause the
spirit OF fraternity and brotherhood that
should always characterize our common
and equal citizenship and have proven
conclusively that in a country of equal
privileges and equal opportunities the in
sidtous doctrine OF hate OF of class or see
ucral distinctions cannot prevail
Lei as. as Americans, straightway de-
vote ourselves 70 the upbuid.ng OF
America 10 the peace. honor and glory
OF our common country. Party dssen-
ssons should no longer divide or rack the
puoiic mind. nor the zeal or temper of
o,ic devotion to the good of ALL
ihe reports that cabinet sIatemakers
were easy throughout the country caused
much good-natured comment here today.
