Roadway could she make fighting

Mr.. Bryan was voted down be-
cause he was the friend of panic
and an enemy of prosperity. His
election would have created an up
roar throughout the land. The
millions of poor and the middle
class of well-to-do people can feel
a more profound tnankfulness over
his defeat than the rich. A man
with millions can get along with
compartive comfort under any adj
ministration. To the patriotic men
OF all parties is due the present
promising outlook for the future.

There were representatives from Penob

Washington, ID. c., Feb -.
George Libby, Esq, President of the
Lincoln Club Portland:
Lincoln's public life was an example of
true Republicanism. all possible progress
consistent with order, all possible con-
servatism but no halt in civilization. He
was not satisfied until slavery was on the
road to ultimate extinction. He lived af-
ter the war to see its extinction. We shall
not be satisfied until the equal liberty Of
all citizens is on the road to ultimate es-
Establishments. May we without war, in
peace and prosperity, live to see our prin-
ciples established, for they are his.

The opening address was made by Pres

greeting on this every memorable and in
spring occasion. to bid You a sincere and
hearty welcome in behalf of the Lincoln
club, to this our sixth annual banquet, in
observing the S7th anniversary of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln, is to me a
great and delightful privilege as we'll as a
high and distinguished honor.
This magnificent gathering of earnest
and patriotic citizens, within these walls,
made sacred in the days Of the nation &
peril by the presence of majestic heroes,
who have since taken their places in
history, crowned with immortal honors,
proclaims to the nations of the world, like
herald trumpet topgued, that time In
her onward march will never efface from
the hearts and memories Of the American
people, the name and fame of our
martyr president. Abraham Lincoln.
Endowed by Almighty God with the
higher qualities of heart and soul and in :
tellect, he looked into the not distant
future, and saw what others had never
even dreamed Of before. that a house
divided against itself cannot stand, that
his nation could not exist permanently
half slave and half free, and, believing
that justice and freedom andIequal rights
for all mankind Were more sacred than
any personal consideration, he gave freely
and without reserve the best there was in
his life
Recognizing always what is purest and
best in human life, he gave to the people
of the United States an administration of
the affairs of this government never ex
cellcd by any ruler who has welded the
scepter of power in republic, empire or
kingdom in the history Of the civilized
world
He was the first Republican President
of the United States. Abraham Lincoln
was indebted TO the Republican party for
the opportunity to initiate great reforms,
affecting the freedom of millions OF bond
men, and the peace and prosperity and
material welfare tf the whole country /;
but the Republican party, the country
and mankind are indebted to Abraham
Lincoln for the enlightened and courage
Gus craftsmanship he exhibited in the
most perilous crisis of the nations
history.
1t was the Republican party that sup
ported and encouraged the administration
of Abraham Lincoln, from his Inaugural
ton on the 4th of March, 1861, until his
assassination on the 18th Of April, 1866.
