Stands for Everything Noble.

The ninety-irst anniversary OF the
birth of Abraham Lincoln, February
10Th, was observed In many OF the
larger cities Of the United States.
The tribute paid the martyr presi-
dent by the Marquette Club, OF Chica-
go, was OF an unusually high order.
Among the noted men present were
Murat Halstead, james I. McCleary,
OF Minnesota, Bartlett Trip, OF
South Dakota, Daniel l.. Russell, OF
North Carolina, and j. X. Cubbison,
OF Kansas; to the latter was assign
ed the toast, THE Coming Contest
The speaker closed his brilliant ad-
dress by stating what the Republi-
can party stands for as follows:
"Our people and the world know
that the Republican party in the
coming campaign will stand:
~. For the honor and glory OF
our flag and the dignity Of American
citizenship.
"2. For the extension Of Repub-
lican institutions into every land
where the valor OF our soldiers has
carried the American flag.
20. For sound money and an
American dollar worth as much In
the hand OF labor as In the safe OF
the banker.
-. For a protective tariff that
will protect American labor against
the labor Of the world, and n reel
procity that will give US the markets
In which there is no competition
with American labor.
-. Forthelaws that will restrain
trusts and combinations of capital
when inImicable to American institu-
lions.
&c. For the building OF the Near
aqua canal and the construction Of
forts at each end thereof, over which
shall float the American flag.
with n platform embudying these
principles, and with Mckinley for II
leader the coming struggle will be
won at the quarter, for Bryan and
Ills cohorts VI despair will be
left OF the post.
Mckinley is the greatest popular
idol ever known in American politics.
He In the only statesman whom the
people nominated before the pollti-
clans met In convention. He stands
the champion OF sound money, pa
triOtism, good government, the ex-
tension Of our Republican institu-
tions and for the honor, glory and
welfare Of the American people"
