tries.
notwithstanding the enormous expense
OF q. foreign war, the rational treasury
today is In a stronger position than ever
before. Owing to the magnificent sup
port which the people Of the United States
gave to the war loan of 1893, the cost of

THE war with Spain imposed grave
and unexpected responsibilities upon the
republican party. That the party fully
met the expectations Of "A patriotic people
and possesses today their unbounded con-
iidence is recognized by all. No one

the republican party In IA spirit of justice
