Mr.. Chair mani suppose in the prep

cultural tiil the general state CT the
country may be investigated co.lewhal.

Now, as to first branch of the propo-
| sition, there is 10 room for discussion.
! God does reign, and therefore 1t IS most
wonderful as 10 what foliows-taat the
/ Republican ga:ty still lives. UauSh-
I ter.)
StiI lives, What evidence was there
about Columbus. Ohio. that the Repuo-
! liean rarty still lives" that the life
OF the Republican party was in jeop-
ardy; that the peril had been PASSED.
and that the party "still livcs?" Why,
the great event about Columbus re-
Gently has been the question OF the
! election Of United States senator; and
| this declaration comes after the cleo
| ton of Mr.. Hanna, end, l presume, In
consequence CT it. From Mr.. Hanna's
point of view. there is an extended lease
| OF life to tae Republican party.
D0es t.ce REPUBLICAN party st Il live"

meaning that 1t is not yet entirely

avowed and rcpudistel or is trying to

! to do? 1t has elected Mr.. Hanna to

| OF the truest ard best representatives
/ OF modern re 2ublicaHism tot we can

as well quietly give UP the ghost and
| allow Ntr. Hanna, es the embodiment,
es the soul, as the essence OF the Re-
| publican party. to live in that body into
| which he has recently crawlcd? Why
would not that do?
There Is more OF this business. The
! fact Is. the morning edition OF the
, newspapers is rich in richness OF this
! kind. Now here is somethirg-a re-
: sponse TO IL A. Hanna from William
Mckinley:
