transaction. One Is the party that
stands by the American PRESIDENT

of the whole United States, striving
earnestly with every faculty that he
has, to settle that great question so

do it's work well, and I say that there
are only two parties, those who stand
by the American president and those
who do not. The policy of the admin
istration l have no question will be
broad, sound, American. I am con-
tented to wait and let the constituted
authorities do the work that is assigned
to them. / have confidence in the presi-
dent and his commissioners, and l
believe that we have taken the right
course as republicans in simply laying
down the great general principles that
we want to preserve the liberty of those
whom we have freed, and that we
leave the settlement Of the infinite and
perplexing details of the negotiations
to the president of Che United
states"
