rinor. made the following address:
The principles of political parties on
national questions furnish the reason
Why voters classify themselves into
various parties. The only good reason
any man can give for afiiliation with
either republican, democrat or any
other political party, Is that he thinks
the principles advocated by his party
are best calculated to advance the in
| terests of his country. If any other
reason Is given inconsistent with this,
1t Immediately stamps the man as not
a patriot. His motive would then

not for the common good

continuously since 1864, and by my bal
| lot and other loyal ways, advocated
the principles of the republican party
because 1t seemed to me perfectly clear
that the Ideas of the republican party
| are the best for the nation. History
has proven that the legislation enacted
| by /, on all matters pertaining to the
| - ancial, Industrial and moral ques-
| uons, was the very thing needed to
| build and make the great nation that
| we are today
| Interests of Labor.
The republican party at it's com

| interests OF the laboring man II has
| always been devoted to his interests
| The legislation which It has enacted
has always taken care Of the wage
Garner on the principle that II good
wages can be paid, the homes of the
country can be comfortable, and it's
people have leisure and means for de-
| Veloping themselves In every way. The
| republican party passed the homestead
bill which dotted the state of Nebraska
all over with happy and prosperous
| homes. The republican party has al
ways believed that anything that will
advance the interests of the home,
that will increase It's luxuries, that will
make possible the use OF a larger op-
portunity of enjoyment and will fur
nish the means for higher standar I'd
Of education in a word, that will make

thing to do.
We rejoice in the fact that the neces-

lieved in producing things at home,
and IN supplying the home market by
home productions. Republican tariff
legislation has been such a magnif-
cent success that 1t Is only here and
there in exceptional Instances that men
are spending very much time in com
batting the idea. or course, democracy
has been opposed to the tariff, but the
fact is democracy has been opposed to
pretty nearly everything, and as the
years so by and the experience OF the
nation passes into history, the demo

Great Names In History.
At the present time our opponents
take delight in clarifying the name of
Abraham Lincoln. We rejoice that
they have reached that conclusion.
There Is no name In history more
worthy a. it, Abraham Lincoln stands
at the head OF the noted names of the
nlted states, and yet l do not wan
GU to forget the fact that when Abra
uaIn Lincoln was discharging the duties
which devolved upon him in that crisi!
IN our history, there was no time bu
tnat ne was the leader OF the republ
can party. believed thoroughly in III
IDEAS and principles, and was subjected
10 the severest onslaughts of his op
ponents simply because of that lead
D., ership. The principles of the repub
iican party today are the same tina
they were then, and when our friends
the enemy, take occasion to complimen
and speak we'll of Abraham Lincoln
they are simply ratifying our cours
which they so severely condemned n
the time The same might be said o
many other noble and good leader
OF the republican party.
