THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

President Mckinley was the guest
Of honor at the Founders Day banquet
of the Union League in Philadelphia Oh
Saturday night, and made speech dis
cussing the recent election. During
his hort speech he said: 1--WE are al
WAYS In danger of exaggeration on an
occasion OF exultalion over political
victory and while the result is mainly
due to the efforts OF our splendid party,
there is sometimes a tendency to give
too little credit to other forces, which,
silent though they may have been,
were none the less potential. We must
not withhold generous acknowledge
mant from thst great body of our citi-
zens who, belonging to another party,
powerfully assisted in the achievement
OF the result which you celebrate 10.
night, nor from that other large body,
former members OF our own party,
who, with honesty of purpose, seps-
rated from Us few years ago on tiusn-
ciel issues, have now returned and are
home again to stay. Nor is any ac-
counting for the victory either just
or accurate which leaves out OF
the calculation the almost IN
broken column of labor engag-
ed in mechanics and agriculture. Toe
business men 10 every part Of the coun-
Try, typifed by this great organization,
were mighty factor In the reCeot con-
test. The republican party has placed
upon it tremendous responsibilities. No
party could ask for a higher expression
OF confidence. 1t is q gre thing to
have this conf lence; it will be greater
thing to observe sod hold it. To this
party are committed new and grave
problems. They are too exalted for
partissnship. The task OF settlement is
for the whole American people. Who
will say they are unequal to iI2 Lib
erty has not lost, but gained in strength.
The structure of the fathers stands
secure upon the foundations on which
they raised it, and is today, as it has
bean in the years past and as it will
be in the years TO come, the Govern.
ment Of the people, by the people, and
tor the people, Be not disturbed;
there ia 20 danger from empire; there
is 10 fear for the Republic"

PRECEDENT MCKINLEY, 10 bis speech
at the banquet of the members Of the
Loyal League 10 Philadelphia on Sat-
urdsy night, said the result OF the late
election was an endorsement OF tneir
"loyalty to the government" and dem
oustrated the Independence OF ths bal
lot box" That implied. OF course,
that those opposed to that result were
not loyal to the government; and the
independence OF the ballot box was
proved by the twenty million corrup
ton fund and the bulldozlng prac
tice by Northern republican employ
ers. The old Roman soothsayers usec
ID wink when they passed each Other

In the eyes while practicing their trans
parent tricks, but never since Mr. Nc
Kinley also expressed. his thanks

TO the "uubroken column" o.
Northern organized labor for the
part they played in his re-elec
