The doctrines of the republican party

to do right and refuse to do wrong.
During the four decades of its history
4 has displayed remarkable wisdom in
framing laws, and in administering the
government wisely. 1t has always
kept Jul neutrality dignified and just,
thus involving us in no entangling al
liances. Its victories of peace have
been mol ess renowned than those of
war and these have brought about that
sEperior andtruerg grandeur as anati0n
tat his lifted this republic to that daz-
Of all those who sit upon thrones
among the great powers of the world
are turned as they realize that it has
taken its place among them and here
after must be considered and consulted
In their councils.
That party has taught us to demand
nothing wrong and to submit to moth
ing wrong; it has made our diplomacy
sagacions. wary and accomplished; it
has passed through the barriers of
mountains and the Notifications of har-
bcrs in the island of the two great
oceans and planted the ensign of the
new republic upon the citadels of ty-
ranny. Truly the republican party has
added to the number of stars in our
flag and placed them SO high and so
grand that, like the stars of Heaven, no
power on earth can pull them down.
1t has Quickened into life the giant
brood of useful arts; it has plowed the
waters of all lakes and seas with a
healthy and growing commerce.; it
has by its wise and systematic conduct
OF domestic affairs quieted the Gle
nents of d%issention within our own
borders; it has given work to idle
hands. fed the hungry and educated the
youth OF the poor by placing within
their grasp the blessed boon of the
mantle public school; 1t has opened
our page of lettered glory. and it has
stimulated American patriotism every
where: it gave to the people the home
stead. preemption and timber claim
law, until 10Y the poorest man that
lives within our domains, with smiling
face and grateful heart thanks his God
that he Is an American; it has always
stood firm as a rock for law and order
everywhere, yet at iii times it has scat
tered the seeds of liberty broadcast,
and 1t has ever extended to weary ex-
lies, fleeing as clouds from realms of
tyranny and oppression, the asylum of
u God given liberty; 1t has opened
the honored pasn Of the industry of our
people; 1t has indeed dignified and en-
nobled American labor until now in
this republic manhood reigns alone,
and every citizen is king, an dthe sons
and aughters Of these who earn their
aailyl bread by honest toll, know full
we'll that where'so'er our detsiny send
forth
It's widening circles to the South or
North;
V'here'er our banner floats beneath the
skies,
Its mimic splendors and it's cloud-like
bars,
There shall free labor's hardy children
stand,
The equal sovereigns of a free mans
land.
Truly the republican party has been
the best friend to this republic In the
past. Its sword has always been the
enemy Of oppression and wrong wher-
over found. On its bright banner are
principles immortal. and in its hands
eternal Justice and equality Of rights;
and under the magic wand Of these, the
republic has made marvellous progress
In the past and in the future will be the
marvel of mankind.
