THE PARTY NAME.
observe some confusion as to the
name by which We are to fight. This
must be secondary matter. This will
be the weapon our enemies will use as
an effectual one to divide US. Who OF us
would desert friend because we did not
like the color OF his coat? Who of us
would permit our neighbors to be op-
pressed and wroneed because we did not
| like the uniform worn by his deliverers ?
None of US.
We love the Samaritan because he is

STATE ADMINISTRATION.
l beg to impress you with the grandest
OF facts--tkat our state administration in
honesty, integrity, efficiency and econ
omy has surpassed every etate west of
the Missouri river. Ipermit no excep-
ton. Iappeal as testimony to this tact
to the admissions of this truth by the
New York Evening Post and the reports
OF the Reform club Of New York on
estate and Municipal Affairs OF the
United States" Can any of our prede-
cessors compare with our standing? Let
them dare to name an instance. Can
any OF our political enemies point where

instance has arisen in the administration
of our state by our selected officers that

this exemption in any one year OF their
administration? Where is the act or
conduct or result of our state sdministra-

cannot take honor and credit and feel
glory in? Why then, should any OF our
men, at the dictates OF our enemy, wish
to repudate himself? He will never,
never do it, Therefore all our state Off
GERS and their exemplary assistants will
be spontaneously commended.
FOREIGN PoLICY.
Permit me to suggest that as the county
conventions select delegates to their state
conventions, and who are to be their
spokesman, that all declarations as to
foreign policy to be subsequently pursued
by this government, be left to the state
conventions. This for the apparent rea-
sons that as wide divergence of views ex-
list, contrary expressions from each
county may embsrrass delegates to act
freely upon and IN accordance with events
that may develop between the meetings
of the state and county conventions; and
that broader field of discussion will be
afforded at the state convention because
of the developments which will follow to
guide our views. OF course we are all a
unit Tor the defeat of the Spaniards and
the placing OF the flag of freedom and
the cross of Christ on the shattered en-
battlements of tyranny and persecution.
