MAI. MCKINLEY
1.-THE political situation of the country
is peculiar. We have had few parallels
to our present political condition. We
have but one political party which is
united, and that is ours. (Applansc.)
Discord reigns in all others. Our time
honored opponent, the Democratic party,
is torn and divided. Two national con-
ventions have been held by it and two
national tickets presented and their plat
forms are totally different on every sub
ject and in almost every section. The
Populist party has merged its organiza-
ton into that of the Chicago Demo-
cratic and st. Louis silver organizations,
and their allies are for the most part
harmonious except that each one has a
distinct and different candidate for vice
president Great laughter and APP
plause.)
Happily the Republican party was
never more closely united than now, both
in fact and in spirit. and there We're
never better reasons for such union, and
never greater necessity for it than nc W.

three years of experience, whatever may
have been our political relations in the
past, of the truth of the observation Of
