When we go hack into power we must
remember that it carries with it the re-

1861 we went into power with our leader,
the immortal Abraham Lincoln. Affairs
then were worse than they are now and
I have the confidence that the Republi-

One of the most important issues now

We glory in the fact that this is nation
of citizens, not subjects. The foundation
on which this Republic rests is universal
citizenship and equal suffrage. The
government and the people are so closely
connected that what affects one quickly
affects the other. The condition of the
government depends upon the condition
of its citizens. Whatever will develop
our resources, foster and encourage our
manufactures, secure the highest wages
and independence to our laboring classes,
should be the policy of our nation. This

Chairman Soldiers of the Committee on

the committee. The resolutions were
unanimously adopted by the convention:

by this convention be instructed to give
their unqualified and persistent support

silver equal to one of gold, it would mean
that, for every 371M grains of pure sill

at any United. States mint, a person
would receive coin stamped one dollar
which they intend shall circulate with
the gold dollar and accomplish just as
much. But, upon Ithis basis, the gold
and silver dollars would not circulate
side by side in this country, and. in
stead of more money, we should have

would receive his own pay in silver
worth 30 cents on the dollar and pay his
own debts in gold worth 100 cents on the
dollar. Gold money would not circulate
with the silver here, but would be hoard

it is the only legal tender money. The
financial history OF our nation shows us
that, with an unlimited coinage of gold
and silver as proposed. the inferior would
drive out the superior. The coinage of
too much silver has already shown it's
menace. In 1898, notwithstanding our
government was required to redeem it's
silver certificates in gold and had done so,
the quantity of silver coined became SO
great and its value consequently less, the
fear became prevalent abroad that this
great government was getting SO deeply
in the mire it might not be able to
extricate itself by paying its obligations
in full. Consequently, foreign investors
flooded the markets with our securities.

the Republican party of Maine earnestly
hope that means may be devised to re-
store to that industry it's old time pros
perity and enable the stars and stripes to
float upon every sea and be seen in every
port.
l have briefly called to your attention
some OF the most important matters now
confronting us. There are many others,
but will not take your time to go +, into
them.
My friends, in 1892 we were turned
down at the polls and no one can quite
tell why. In 1896 the Democratic party
will be turned down at tina polls and we
can all tell why.
The hands of the people have been
burned IN fires kindled by the Democrat
ic party, fires not so hot, perhaps, as those
which will. emanate from the Democratic
headquarters in their lurid world to come
but hot enough to keep their hands out of
the flames in this world, at least for the
present. The Democratic party is party
of failures and broken promises.
In my early days l remember seeing a
sign hung in a country store which read
as follows: 1.-Two reasons why we don't
trust man, one because we don't know
him, and the other because we do. -
These reasons slightly modified could be
applied to the Democratic party. We
don't trust them because We know what
they have done and because. if they re-
manned in power much longer, the Lord
only Knows what they might do.

man in Indiana who bet ten dollars that

j. H. Manley, who received storm of
applause as he stepped to the front of the
platform, called tn. convention to order.
He called upon Secretary Byron Boyd
who read the call for the convention.
Rev. ASH Dalton, D. D., was intro
duced by Chairman Manley and asked in
appropriate language the blessing of AL
mighty God upon the doings and delibera
tons OF the convention.
Mr.. Manley then said:
"Forty years ago the Republicans of
Maine under the leadership of that mag
nificent statesman Hannibal Hamlin
wrested the political power and control
from the hands of the Democratic party.
''Ever since that time, it has retained
absolute control with the single exception
of the elections of 1879 and 1880. What
magnificent record! Can any other
State equal it? Your committee have
