1864 AND 1900.
The Same Fight in 1900 as Was on in
1864.

In 1864 the democratic party was in
very much the same condition says the
New York Sun, in which It is low
The war for the Union had been going
on for more than three years and 1t
was receiving the loyal support Of men
of all parties. The ablest and most
influential of the democratic leaders
were known as war democrats" First
Of all, they would save the Union from
destruction and from them Lincoln re-
ceived cordial and most effective Is
sistance.
What was left OF the democratic or
~ganization. however, assembled at Chi
a g in August, 1864, for the nomina-
nation of a candidate for president,
and 1t adopted a platform denouncing
the war as a failure" and demanding
"a cessation Of hostilities," IN the
ground that the constitution had been
disregarded by Lincoln in every part
and public liberty and private right
alike had been trodden down"
During the campaign OF 1864, sup
porters of this infamous platform went
about preaching from the stump that
Lincoln was a tyrant and had estab-
lished Imperialism on the ruins OF the
republic. To re-elect him, they declar-
ed, would be to destroy our free insti-
buttons and substitute a despotism. The
%harangues of 1864 were the same in
spirit and in their representations Of
evil as are now those Of the "anti-im-
perialists," from whom Bryan has been
taking lessons.
Then, too, our soldiers were on the
field fghaing against an enemy to
whom these ~haranguers gave aid and
comfort, as the "anti-imperialists" are
now encouraging Aguinaldo to further
resistance. In 1864, however, loyal
democrats in the field of war anu in
civil places were faithfully sustaining
the honor of the republic, as they are
doing now.
The platform Of surrender was a.
dopted at Chicago on the Goth of Au-
gust, 1864. Three days later Hood was
compelled to evacuate Atlanta. Three
weeks later began Sheridan's series
of victories in the Shenandoah. Lin
coin was reelected on the Sth of No
vember. the surrender democrats car
rying only three states out of twenty
five. Six days after, Sherman began
his march to the sea, and on the 9th
Of April, 1865, or only about seven
months after the Chicago Convention
had denounced the war as a failure,
came the surrender of Lee at Apo
mattox.
The Union was restored. Did the
prognosticated imperialism" follow
Were public liberty and private right
trodden upon?"
1t is safe to expect that the triumph
of American sovereignty in the Philip
pines will follow the election OF McKin.
ley even more speedily than did the res.
toration of the Union the reelection
of Lincoln in 1864. When Aguinaldo
finds that Bryan's attempt to assist
him in insurrection against the United
States is scorned by the american peo-
pie next November as virtual treach,
cry, he will see the futility OF further
rebellion, and this republic, strength,
ened anew, will again proceed to rear
in peace the fruits Of the victories OF
| war.

county and member of the firm of

which is one of the largest agencies in

In 1894 Mr.. Block was q candidate
for the Republican nomination for state
treasurer, but was defeated in the con.
vention by A. T. Koerner, the present
incumbent of the Office. 1t should be
added that Mr.. Block at once sank his
personal ambitions in his work for the
successful candidate, and the entire

been tower of strength to the party

for the Office of state treasurer by ac-
clamation and q rising vote was de-
served tribute to his worth and loyalty.
Mr.. Blocks career furnishes a strik.

sHndications of the Greatest Re-
publican Victory in the His.
tory of the State.

The dominant note of the Republican
campaign of 1900 is one Of confidence
as to the result-not in Minnesota only,
for Minnesota is certainly Republican,
but in the country at large.
Minnesota will give the largest Re-
publican majority in her history. Con-
sfidence is in the air. Everybody has it.
This is not due to the fact that Min
nesots is safely Republican state. To
days confidence is due to the logic OF
events.
Beginning with the national conyen-
ton in Philadelphia every Republican
gathering this year has been character
lied by confidence of the loftiest kind.
Minnesota is simply one link in the
chain. 1t all means Republican VIC
tory in November of proportions that
will compel Democrats to recognize
and choose new leaders and new issues.
The outcome of the campaign OF 1900
will either be the destruction OF Bryan
ism or the destruction Of prosperity.
Prosperity and Bryanistic rule can not
exist at the same time.
Organism means absolutely free sill
yer, at Ii to l, and the destruction OF
all money values. Organism is Pop
ulism, and Populism is born of and
sustained by hatred of success.
The Republican party is a practical
party, it's record of accomplished facts
speaks for itself. What further demon

cation, Mr.. Miller began railroading az
q telegraph operator, in 1883, and has
since devoted his time to the business,
having had practical experience in all
branches. He became 9 resident Of
Minnesota nine years ago. In 1895 he
was elected clerk Of the district court
for Lake and Cook counties, defeating

strength and point with pride to a
record of 40 years of control of public
affairs in this state.
The principles adopted by the Repub-
lican national convention at Philadel-
phia are endorsed and the admin1stra-
ton of President Mckinley heartily
approved. That the promises Of the
party made in 1896 have been carried
out is proven by the high state of pros
perity enjoyed by all as compared with
the business stagnation existing when
the present administration secured the
reins of power. m NJ I!
The adoption of the gold standard
law is approved and the sound financial
policy of the party is credited with hav-
ing contributed largely to the present
prosperity.
The bravery and patriotism Of our
soldiers and sailors in the war with
Spain is commended and fair and lib
eral administration of the pension laws
in behalf Of the widows and orphans of
those who fell in that war il favored.
The platform declares an unalterable
opposition to all trusts and combina.
tions having for their purpose the
sitting of competition arbitrarily con-
trolling production and fixing prices,
and condemns the Democrats for the
defeat of the constitutional amendment
for regulation of the trust evil during
the last session of congress.
Liberal legislation for the national de-
tense and for the upbuilding of our
navy is favored; also the proposed sub
sidy bill for the aid of our merchant
marine and the enlargement of our
foreign markets.
The record of the Republican party
as the friend and champion of labor is
referred to and a pledge made to use
all legitimate means to secure the pas
sage Of legislation making eight hours
the legal working day on all public
works.
Coming down to state affairs the
platform expresses confidence in Sena-
tor Knute Nelson and recommends his
reelection by the incoming legislature.
The speedy passage of legislation
now pending in congress to prevent the
sale of oleomargarine is favored and
