Why SibIey is a Republican.

conceived properly the character OF
the distinguished man who occu-
pies the White House, no honest
man in the house of representa-
tives will embarrass him, no true
American would embarrass him."
= x x eff | am elected to
represent your interests in public
life, | will never ask, when a meas
ure comes before the House, If it
has a Democrat back of it. If
that measure makes for the moral,
social, and intellectual uplift of our
common humanity, | will never
ask if it is a Republican, Prohibi-
bition or Populist measure. VIII
this, enacted into law, better the
condition of those who. in the
various kinds of industry must
win their way in the world. VIII
this open wider markets for agri-
culture? VIII this afford wider
opportunities for transportation
and commerce? VIII it give to
some man, who is now denied the
Godgiving boon of earning his
bread in the sweat of his brow, a
wider opportunity? And if it does,
| do not care what party brings in
that measure, | will give it the best
support that it lies in my power to
give. If you have business in the
departments at Washington, and
send it to me. / will never ask you
the question whether you are a
Republican or a Prohibitionist,
Democrat or Populist. l. your
business is such that a repre-
sentative can honorably and prop
erly transact it for any man | will
do it with my might and will, and
all my strength, and l wort even
ask if you voted for me-"

When Mr.. Sibley announced
himself as a Republican he landed
just where he belonged. AS q
builder, instead of wrecker, he
was sadly out of place on the Dem
ocratic side of Congress. AS one
in favor of the onward march tt
the position Of the greatest OF al
nations by the United States, Mr.
Sibley found himself i'll very poor
company. When Lewis Emery
, of Bradford, upon the tmder tc
t him of a nomination for Congress
: on the Democratic ticket, told his
hearers that he was in accrd with
5 most of the principles as nunciat,
t ed by the Populist leahr w. J.
e Bryan, he also put himsf where
he has belonged. For may years
e Mr.. Emery has been doin 'spoil-
ed child" stunt within tin Repub-
b lican party. He has Invariably
e been after some Office ad if he
II couldn't get it, by reaon of the
q other fellow having the mst votes
then he would "sulk' md help
II elect the Democrat. The broader
is questions of party supremcy never
appealed to Mr.. Emery 1t was
l. always case of "Give N my own
y way or | won't play" lie rarely
ever got his own wayfor the
'e reason that his seliishnes disgust
ed every Republican yorhy of the
name, and as a result hthas ever
used his time and mqeyto create
{ discord within the barry ranks.
