party contest We stand at the parting
Of the ways. and the people have now TO
decide whether they will turn their backs

three years: whether they viii plunge
this country into an abyss of misery and
disaster or. what is worse than even mis-
cry and disaster shame. | feel that we
have a right to appeal not merely to Re
publicans, but to all good citizens, no
matter what may have been their party
affiliations in the past, and to ask them
on the strength of the record that Pres
ident Mckinley has made during the past
three years, and on the strength of the
threat implied In what was done in Kan
sas City a few days ago, to stand shout
der to shoulder with us, perpetuating the
conditions under which we have reached
a degree of prosperity never before at
tanned in n nations history, and under
which abroad we have put the American
flag on n level where II never before In
the history of the country has been
placed. For these reasons | feel that we
have right to look forward with con-
fident expectation to what the verdict OF
the people will be next November. and TO
ask all men to whom the Well being of
the country and the honor of the national
name are dear, to stand with us as we
fight for prosperity ~ home and the
honor of the nag abroad"
