BUT THERE IS REGULARITY.
This campaign is one OF the most Pc
culiar that has ever been conducted
in American politics. There IS nothing
peculiar about the attitude of the Repub-
lican party. Whatever there is in pacu-
liarity or grotesqueness relates to the
condition of the Democratic party. The
Republican party now, as always in its
history, stands for the public faith and
credit, for the integrity of the national
administration and for the integrity and
honesty of our public finances. The
Democratic party is in a singular state
Of disorganiZation and disruption. Its
convention has been seized by those who
were not the old and trusted leaders oc
the party but men who have recently
have been swept to one side and new
men have taken the direction of the
party and If we may believe the state>
ment OF those we have been accustomed
to look for the correct and authorita-
tive expression OF Democratic sentiment:
those now In control OF it have turn
ed it entirely aside from Democratic
traditions and from Democratic priIci-
pies. Applause)

THE PRESS Is ALL RIGHT.
81 can hardly be expected at this stage
Of the campaign to introduce anything
new into the discussion which has now
been progressing SO long. II has been, !
IN a higher degree than any campaign |
Of which / have knowledge, an edrca- !
tional campaign; and in this work Of |
education the newspaper press OF The |
has had a conspicuous and wor |
thy part. Great as has been the con-
trihutiSn to the country in past CAM |
raisns of the American press il las |
never rendered so conspicuous serve
ice ~ Il has rendered in this campaign. |
The issues have been lucid |
~ and infinitely stated in the hearing Of /
the people with the elaboration ard |
which is practicable in
wnere there rs easy access to
and TO data. The voice Of /
the campaign orator is limited; IT de-
bends upon the aid of the press for any
wide or permanent influence tina: IL may
lave. And never before IN the history
of this country. certainly never since
the struggle of 1861. has the great and
potent power of the great newspapers
y this country been so unitedly, so in
and powerfully exerred in
behalf Of true principls in government
