Speech of LIT. Gov. II. L. Woodruff.
MIR. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen
of New Haven, and Members of the
Republican Club of Yale University:
1t is a satisfaction, the depth of
which have not the power to express,
to address an audience like this, here
in the city of my nativity and of my
alma mater in this great contest of
1900, in behalf of the principles of the
republican party. 1t is my pride that
since the birth of our party no ances-
tor or relative of mine has been other
Khan republican, and that as a re-
publican my father represented this
district in congress during the trying
days of the civil war. l am a republi-
can, therefore, by birth and by tradi-
tion. I am also a republican by edu
cation, for 1t is Yale's glory that
during the life of our party all her
presidents, Woolsey, Porter, Dwight
and Hadley have been republicans 1t
is a matter of great significance and
satisfaction throughout the entire ma
tion that, despite the free trade theo-
ries taught by our professor of politi-
cal economy, Yale university is to-day
overwhelmingly republican. Since the
opening Of the campaign / have WISH
ted practically every county in the
state Of New York. I say to you with
confidence that there is no more doubt
about the great Empire state being in
the column of the republican party on
Tuesday next than there is about the
sturdy little state of Connecticut.
PARTY IDEALS.
Let me remind the young men in this
audience that parties are instruments.
They are means to ends; they exist for
the accomplishment of public objects.
They should have for their ideals the
maintenance Of good government the
application of right principles to pub
die affairs, the aScertanment of the
will of the people touching public poll
cies and the embodiment of that will
in prompt and effective state and ma
Hional legislation The republican
party has become the effective instru
ment for the attainment of these
ideals. In the last national cam
paign it rose to height worthy of its
most glorious traditions. Were it now
before the people asking for a contin
nance Of it's commission with nothing
Of achievement to it's credit since 1896 1t
would deserve to remain in power for
what it did then to preserve the insti-
buttons of the fathers and the honor of
the nation. By pursuing the patriotic
purposes which have always been the
law Of it's life it has attracted and is
attracting to the support of It's candi- |
dates many loyal and patriotic demo-
Gratis They should receive from Nc |
IIinley's party of the honest people the |
game hospitabe welcome which demo-
Gratis received in 80 and ga from Lin
coins party of the plain people
The republican party In this cam
paign is more than the instrument of |
republicans; it is the hope of the ma
ton. Since the democracy of Jefferson |
and Jackson became the prey Of pop |
lllistio fanaticism and the vagaries of !
{lreamers like Bryan supplanted the |
doctrines of statesmen, the republican
party has become the only and the
natural home of those democrats who !
l1aye been driven from the household !
of their ancient faith. They have not .
left their party; their party has left /
them. We hear them sometimes say
s.I am going back to the democratic
party If I ever find it." 1t is incum-
bent upon us, and especially upon you
men Of a younger generation, who are
