versal by the republican party, not only
without the help Of the democratic party,
but in spite of it's bitter and determined
opposition.
In al these great measures, and through
all these eventful years, the republican
party has shown the highest order of
craftsmanship and a capacity for public
affairs equal to every emergency. 1t has
been constructive and aggressive in all
it's policies and purposes, and by "ardu-
Gus work DONE" has gained the conf
dence of the country and led us steadily
onward as people until today we stand
at the very front of all the nations of the
earth.
! According to familiar principles this
record entities US to preference not only
to continue approved policies, but also
and more particularly, to solve new and
difficult problems
Tested by practical arguments and con-
siderations the same result follows:
Certainty as to our government and it's
policies is of the highest Importance. We
know what the Mcinley administration
is Who knows what a Bryan admins
tration would be? No one can even intel
| ligently speculate. Democrats are them
selves hopelessly divided as to what
would follow their success in November.
Mr. Bryan stated in his Indianapolis
speech that if elected his first official act
would be to call an extra session of con-
gress. to carry out his views, and he ask
ed for votes on that account; that Mr..
Burke Cochran in his letter to the "Sons
of Liberty" assembled few days after
Mr.. Bryans utterance, in the same city
of Indianapolis, appealed to that body
to support Mr.. Bryan on the ground that
if elected he would be powerless, because
of republican senate, to secure any leg
islation that would embody his heresies
end Mr.. Cochran have thus respectively

he cannot do worse than throw the ma
tion into deadlock, and what Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Cochran have thus respectively
set forth fairly represents the differ
ences among democrats generally. Some
want Mr.. Bryan elected that he may do
publican senate will remain to stand be-
tween the country and the countrys dan
ger.
The trouble with the democratic party
is that it lacks sincerity and harmony of
purpose, therefore, when it occasionally
gets into power it necessarily proves in
capable to redeem it's own pledges, and
as a result brings upon the coun-
try distrust that paralizes
business, robs labor of employment
turns trade balances against us and Inn
pairs national credit
Republican ascendency means, and al
ways has meant, the very opposite. This
is forcibly illustrated by recent events.
M'kINLEY's ADMINISTRATION.
President Mckinley was elected four
years ago to do certain specific things
that the republican party thought would
benefit the country. He has done them
and the whole country has profited in
consequence.
His party meant what it said when |,
made its promises, and the president ha,
been able to redeem those promises, be
cause he had united and sincere parry
behind hia,.
!, 1t is something to have kept the faith
, It is conclusive to have been vindicate
by results.
Experience shows that when the re-
| publican party make a promise it means
to keep it; and that when it does keel
it, good results will follow; and tha
when the democratic party makes {
promise 1t may or may not keep 1t, ac
cordingly as it's discordant elements
may or may not be able to act in har
mony. and that whether it keeps it O.
not, the country is the loser.
| Such is the party-What are the pro
fessions upon which we are now asket
to restore it to power?
