MAI. MCKINLEY.
'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. eApplaase.)
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 it's 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
distinct and different candidate for vice
president. Great laughter and ap-
plause.)
Happily the Republican party was
never more closely united than now, both
in fact and in spirit, and there were
never better reasons for such union, and
never greater necessity for it than now.

Great applause) 1t has always kept

three years of experience, whatever may
have been our political relations IN the
past, of the truth of the observation of
Webster. made more than half a century
ago. You will recall that he said:
0That is the truest American policy
which shall most usefully employ Ameri-
can capital and American labor and best
sustain the whole American population
(Great applause.)
agriculture, commerce and manutac-
lures will prosper together or fail to-

words of John Quincy Adams, That the
great interests of this agricultural. min

linked in unison that no permanent cause
