Mr.. Heath spoke follows:
Twenty-four years ago. at the mature
and dignitied age of nineteen, | came to
this beautiful village to teach your acad-

We're discussing the issues left over from
the conflict for the nations life The
rolling years have wrought Il silent rev.
olution. The Republican party. born in
the travail of war. faces in the maturity
of its manhood a crisis no less grave than
the crime of 81. 1t Will meet it with the
same courage that ruled its councils in

honest 1t does not believe with Bryan
that the American voter is blind to the
sacred rights OF his neighbor and deaf TO
the voice OF justice.
Its a noble maxim of American liberty
that no man should 20 to the extreme of
his right. The voice of the people is the
voice Of God,-the same God that thun-
dered forth from Sinai's lofty peak
Thou shalt not steal" The will of the

Aye, more. the American people would
blush for shame to see the gray-haired
veterans of 81 limping their way TO the
treasury hearing in their trembling hands
the broken promises of Abraham Lincoln.
The mother that knelt in the cleaning
and with her little ones prayed for the
