feel proud of the grand ovation which
was rendered him on the occasion Of
his appearance at Maennercnor hall
Saturday night. Every seat in the big
rear of the hall were filled with men
who stood throughout the evening, and
large numbers Of people were turned
away.
The senator's arguments were list
ened to with b%reathless interest, the
only relaxation being the frequent
bursts Of applause which greeted the
many good points brought out by the
speaker.
Although the campaign is virtually
closed and nothing which IS said at this
late hour can have any appreciable ef-
feet on the result, the senator's remarks
were of such high order that The Re-
publican r%eproduces them here almost
in full:
SENATOR WARREN'S ADDRESS.
Necessary to civilization is govern
ment, and incident to a republican
form of government are political par
ties, advocating different principles
and policies. This brings before you
platforms. campaigns and speakers
hence our presence here tonight.
1t is fair to presume that all political
parties aspiring to administer Il gov
eminent are DESTROYS of the greatest
good to the greatest number. 1t should
be party ambition to secure not only
greatest financial success, but highest
civilization and citizenship, greater
liberty, better education, closer COM
munion and with all a warmer fellow
ship.
! think the rank and file of every
party seek high results but unfortu-
nately, greed, love of Office, or erron-
eous belief sometimes obtain control
of a party and its usefulness is de-
stroyed. Usually there is something
of good and something of evil in every
party but | say to you in all candor
and earnestness that it seems to me
at the present ju%ncture in our affairs
the republican party, through its con-
tinued high efforts and long expert
ence. has adopted for itself about all
that is good, while the democratic
fusion party has, in its bad judgment,
%espoused about everything that is bad.
This, largely, because the opposition
insists upon %espousing everything
proposed by republicans so that their
only chance of stumbling on to the
right side is for us to first get wrong.
l do not apply this personally, be-
cause all democrats are not responsible
for this state Of affairs; besides, some of
the dearest friends I nave are now, or
have at some time, been democrats,
those whom l love and respect, but
right here let me tell you, very many of
our former democratic friends are get
ting to be pretty good republicans for
at least this one election. They are
forced to it in order to vote for their
own and the nations interests.
It is no strange that the republican
party should be thus deserving, for 1t
was born in patriotism. its cradle was
greater liberty, its youth one long
struggle against illiberality and an
overbearing oligarchy. and its full
manhood was. and ever is. the pulwark
of the nations dignity and honor and
her supremacy Of flag and influence
over land and sea. at home and abroad.
OUR PARTY'S RECORD.
We invite your suffrages at this
time with peculiar confidence because
of the excellence Of party's record
the correctness Of its principles. the
good faith of our ,~omises and GER
tainty of their fulil,s ont-judging the
future by the past.
Has the republican party always full
filled its promises? Yes. Tell me when
and where 1t has failed. Has the other
party likewise fulfilled its promises
Very. very seldom.
I can think Of only one democratic
promise fulfilled. 1t promised to re-
peal the protective tariff law, and II
did. partially: 1t savagely mangled it
at least; likewise it mangled us. here
in Wyoming. and moreover 1t manglet
somewhat the feelings Of President
Grover Cleveland, for he dubbed II
IAN act Of perhdy and dishonor."
