Ia letter sent out TO Indiana Re
publicans last week Chairman Hetnly
said:
'.As the campaign prog resses we feel
the great Importance of III e result. and
every day impresses US with its national
Influence and effect. Not since 1864
has the nation been so on trial as minis
cam paign, and we believe that the peo-
pie viii rally TO the support of the flag
and the Mckinley administration. and
that much enthusiasm will prevail be-
fore election day. We must stand by
our country in the war with Spain and
emphasize the great victories of our
army and navy by supporting the adj
ADMINISTRATION which so successfully pros
ecated the same, and we again appeal
to the people and their patriotism and
81 IL, l
flag, as we appealed to them to stand
by Lincoln and the flag in years gone
by.
1.-The success of the opposition in this
election means return to the starved
and dernoralized condition of the coun-
try IN lS93-95. and reputation of a
protective tariff with its attendant
prosperity: it means reputation of the
present gold standard aud the estab-
hshment of silver recommendation and
dishonest money, because the Demo-
cratic party is pledged to the free COIN
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to L.
The success of the opposition means a
rebuke TO the Mckinley administration,
which has prosecuted the most success
ful foreign war III the lifetime of the
nation, and its humiliation i'll the face
of the nations of the earth. The sue
cess of the opposition means aid and
comfort to the Spaniards, encouraging
them to insist on terms of peace. which
this country may not be able to grant,
thus provoking renewal of hostilities
1t also means an invitation to foreign
nations to interfere with the settlement
of the Philippine question. 1t elso
means encouragement to the insure Ents
and malcontents III Cuba and the p lip
pine islands, thus having a teEdancy
to keep them from peaceful a(aui-
eseence in the government of the} is
lands by this country"
While the above was reaching 1.-THE
hearts and arousing the enthusiast OF
Indiana Repa blicans, their bEesherk in
New York were responding with shA uss
and hurrahs to Chauncev NJ. Depsfy'a
eloguence in their state convention
Among many good things said byfMr
Depew was the following: IL
THE widest dream ever born Tthe
Imagination of the most optimi be-
lever in our destiny could not see
when Mckinley was elected two airs
ago the onrushing torrents of events of
the past three months. We canno1 re.
treat or hide. We must ride the waves
and direct the storm A war has been
fought and won, and vast possessi pms,
new and far away, have been acquired
In the short space of 1l3 days politicians
and parties have been forced to meet
new questions and to take sides upon
startling issues. The face of the world
has been changed. The maps of yester-
day are obsolete.
1.-The times require constructive
statesmen. As in 1916 and 1865, we
need architects and builders. We have
but one school for their training and
education, and that school is the Re-
publican party. Our Republican adj
ministration, upon which = tremendous
responsibility rests. must have a Repub.
lican congress for its support in the next
two years-two years of transcendent
Importance to our future.
Friends and enemies alike join in
| the general satisfaction with the wis.
dom. sagacitv and craftsmanship of
| President Mckinley. A protective tar.
| if, sound money-the gold standard,
| the retirement of the government from
| the banking business and state issues
| are just as important as ever. Until
| three months ago to succeed we would
| have had TO satisfy the voters of the
| soundness and wisdom of our position
| on these questions The cardinal princi.
| pies of Republican policy viii be the
| platform of this canvass and of future
