"The Republican Party"

1.-THE Republican Party was the topic
assigned to Frederick Lands. He said in
part:
Fifty years ago a woman knelt at
Bunker Hill as upon sacred soil. Upon her
lips trembled a prayer; upon her cheek fell
anguish of centuries. She was driven back
to bondage in her tears
Far to the west lived an American gen.
Uemdn. HIS form was awkward, his face
was plain, but in his heart was gold enough
10 make a thousand pagan gods. He spoke:
This Nation cannot endure half slave. half
free, and he spoke Fate stepped forth
and clasped the hand of helplessness.

impatience beyond the clouds. Justice was
its father and mercy was its mother. 1t
stood beneath a banner all of white, and
upon that banner the world found the lilies
OF human liberty. The Republican party
was Gods answer to slavery and Abraham
Lincoln was His prophet! Grand men loved
that party then-we love ii now. We love
II for its stars and its scarS-its graves
and its glories. We love it for its purple
memories; for Harper's Ferry and inn
mortal John Brown, for Chickamauga and
George H. Thomas, for Appomattox and
Ulysses S. Grant. We love il for Ander-
sonVille prison and it's glory-mantled
martyrs who scorned the arms Of treason
and sought eternal sleep. We love ii for
those who lie in unknown graves this
night-the missing children of fame-for
whom no arches rise, no tablets speak, but

I'VE love this grand old party because
in the day of power it redeemed the VOW
to Valor given in the night of terror; be-
cause it made the Union soldier freedom S
honored guest. We love it because it re-
piled to repudiation: All is heresy save
honor, all is vanity save virtue, and our
promise is as sacred as our flag. We love
it because it touched the wheels of indus

erect, the produest traveller on the highway

We love it because wherever civilization
leads it follows, and there it remains for
ever; because it has made the eagles of
Washington nobler than the eagles of
Caesar and our flag so grand the sky would
be lonesome without it.
I'VE love this party for pioneer eloquence
and Richard W. Thompson, for Indiana and
oliver p. Morton, for brilliant statesman

Senator Beveridge's Letter.

n feature of the afternoon meeting was
the reading of letter from Senator Bev-
eridge and the announcement that tele-
gram of regrets has been received from
Senator Fairbanks. Mr.. Fairbanks ex-
pressed regret that it would be impossible
for him to be present on account of the
press of important business matters. He
extended greetings to the Republicans pres
ent. Senator Beveridge's letter follows:
He on whose anniversary you meet is an
inspiration to every Republican, to every
American. And, after all, to be a Repub-
hcan Is to be an American. We are Re
publicans as Lincoln was, because that
IS the best way to be American. The
power of our party consists in the fact
that our politics have always considered
the whole people of the Republic instead
or sections, or classes, or factions. We
have looked TO the destiny of the Nation
as nation, as well as TO the needs of each
day and hour.
Our achievements in the past have been
brilliant as they have been solid, and as
lasting as they were glorious. But, large
as the duties which we have discharged
in the past have been, broader and pro-
founder problems are face to face with
US to-day. We viii meet those duties
study and solve those problems in the
spirit of that great man who was the
father of our party, Abraham Lincoln.
With the fine enthusiasm of conviction,
but with the tempered moderation Of seri-
Gus purpose, with patience and care and
caution. and yet with fearlessness and
thoroughnesS and high resolve, the Repub-
hcans of the Nation will press right on
ward to the doing of the Nations work
If We do that work well, and we will: if
We discharge those duties ably and with
righteousness. and we will; if we make
our measures fit the noble destiny of the
American people, and we will, the Ameri-
can people will sustain us as they sustained
Lincoln. For the American people are true
to that man and that party who is true to
them.
Il congratulate you upon the condition
of the Republic. and therefore upon the
prospects Of our party. For whenever
the Nation is we'll Off the party is well
off-it is only the opposition which fattens
on national disaster. l regret more than L
can tell you my inability to be with you.
If / We're there in person I should propose
TO you this sentiment: Abraham Lincoln,
the Republican party, the American people
these three; let no man speak the name
OF one without uttering in the same breath
the names OF the other two.

"The New Emancipation"

Gurley Brewer. Of Indianapolis, spoke on
The New Emancipation" saying in part:
1T was reserved for the people of this
generation 10 witness one of the grandest
tragedies of time, one In which the actors
numbered thirty millions. and in every
scene there stood g silent figure, one with
out voice, save at the mercy seat. When
the tragedy began he was q chattel bought
and sold. and for a thousand miles the
cannon Numbered. We all heard the shout
of victory IL rocked the land from the
lakes TO the gulf. Our soidiery returned
home with death broken ranks and bullet
ridden flags. The boon held out was liberty
10 all the Inhabitants of the land; the dis
solution of caste; the ennoblemsnt Of la
Dor; freedom with a better civilization: new
IDEAS OF the equality of man; new concep-
lions of the purposes of national existence;
and new guarantees for the safety of hui
man life. The negro emancipated but left
was needed in this hour of crisis? Political
integrity-yes, and something more. A
stable government and a strong executive.
Yes, and something more: Who under God
must elevate the negro from chattelhOod

ments rolled in blood? No, the man. The
politician with his petty schemes Of person

cline? No. the man. The scholar bending
beneath the adornments of classic litera-
tureE NO; the man. To whom was it left
to utter the Srandest cheer for liberty ever
heard among mankind and confer upon the
blackman his full measure of citizenship?
The answer comes quick and clear-Abra-
ham Lincoln. The negro emancipated from
the faggot, thumbscrew and auction block.
The twentieth century must give 10 civili-
zation and the negro new emancipation

Northwestern railroads continue to do

the same month of any previous year.

MYSTERIOUS PAYNE /
Repeats Strange Typewriter and
Fire Tests mt the Newfoundland

Henry s. Payne gave his first public ex-;
hibition in Minneapolis at the Metropolitan
theater last night. and completely mystiied
the audience that had assembled to see him.
Mr.. Payne has number OF feats Of mind
reading that appear impossible, but which he
accomplishes with ease Last night he re-
peated the test presented Sunday afternoon,
and in addition startled the audience with
what he termed the typewriter test
In this feat a man chosen from the audi
ence goes out Of the theater and writes a
letter. When he returns Mr. Payne, blind
folded. goes to typewriter, and reproduces
that letter. Last night the Payne manuscript
was an exact copy of the original, although
this does not always follow. The usual cabi-
net tricks were performed, and the fire test
which created so much talk. in St. Paul last
week, was given In this, Mr.. Payne ignites
piece Of paper simply by working his hands
in its direction, standing at a distance Of
twenty feet or more.
Payne remains at the Metropolitan tonight
and to- morrow night. Viewed from whatever
standpoint his performance is well worth
seeing. If trickery, it Is clever trickery. If
not, it is an exemplifcation of some peculiar
and interesting power not yet understood by
scientists.
