Governor and my colleague Such words
from such men are of themselves an honor
and a distinction. This is a meeting of
fellowship among ourselves, but ii is also
a council of war against our common enemy.
Service, shoulder to shoulder, in many
political battle has made all of us COM
rades and friends. But our fellowship
springs from sources even deeper than
friendship; ii is born of our agreement upon
principles which we believe make for the
welfare of the Republic. And so our coun-
ell OF war is not against enemies in per-
SOnal sense, but only against opponents or
our party's policies. Upon this high ground
the Republican party has always appealed
TO the intelligence and conscience of the
American people. We seek no partisan
victory as such; THAT at best would be
a barren triumph. Unless a political party
serves the whole people 1t has no reason
for success or even for existence. Our
pride as Republicans is that our party has
done well for the Nation: our guaranty Of
victory is the certainty that we will con-
tinue to do well for the Nation Never for
get that the s'lrest way 10 win is to de-
serve to win.
with these lofty views of the purpose
of political parties and methods Of party
welfare. we must prepare for the coming
campaign. For these are the ideals of the
Republican millions, and indeed of the
whole American people. And the thought
of the masses must control the plans of
party workers Without the people the
best organization is useless. And that is
well; for in the end the thought of the
people is always both wise and just.
the idea that We are fighting Democrats
merely because they happen 10 be Demo
Gratis. but that we are striving for those
things which are best for the American
people. We must remember that men of
ether parties desire the Nations welfare as
much as we, and that, convinced that what
We have done and are doing is best for the
country, thousands of them will join IN
1904 as thousands Of them joined us in 1896
and 1900. TO all men of all parties the Re
publican message is this: The Republican
freside is 80 broad and generous that
around its CHEEKY circle there is room for
every American and brothers welcome
awaiting him. In short, the Republican
party must have no small partisanship of
clan which seeks merely the defeat OF an
other clan, but instead the noble PARTISAN
ship OF patriotism which seeks only the
good of the country; no narrow policies in
spired by the spirit OF faction, but. instead.
broad and tolerant craftsmanship inspired
by the spirit OF Americanism.
Indeed, craftsmanship Is not born of any
other spirit That is why Republican poll
cies have been sanctioned by the people.

debate have cleared away, even our critics

NO APOLOGIES.
For being partisans we have no apologies
to offer, even 10 those persons who have at
tanned such ethereal heights of political
pulchritude that should they remain III any
one political party long enough to gain
legal residence they would be compelled to
apologize to their own better natures. The
history Of this country has been written by
political parties, every line Of IL; it's great
leaders have been partisans. every one of
them. Its sea fights have been won, not by
pirate craft flying the banner OF political
independence, but by its ships Of the line
displs ying a common flag and battling for
a common cause. It's victories on land have
been achieved, not by guerrillas, or BUSH
WhackerS. or camp-followers. but by men
with souls big enough 10 permit a cOnvic-
ton TO get a lasting hold on them ard not
afraid OF being contaminated by elbow
touch with other men. And to-day, as yes
terday. the history Of this country IS being
written. it's destiny determined, not by the
individuals whose names we note in the
newspapers as the authors of official acts.
but by the great organizations of public
sentiment which speak and act through
them. In this Republic there is attainable
only one kind of responsible government,
and that is party government; the single
individuals the certain end of which. If
history teaches anything, is the downfall of
government.
And especially and particularly have we
no apology to offer for being Republican
partisans. Except for a single period of two
years, rendered notable only by the dsas-
ter which IL brought upon the American
people. no other political party has beer in
complete control of the affairs of this coun-
try since 1860 and the history of the United
States during forty years of dominant Re
publicanism is record of national achieve
ment unparalleled elsewhere in the history
of the world. The tenth year of continuous
Republican ascendency in national affairs
finds this Nation stronger. and richer, and
greater than i'm all its history il has been
before, and looking into the opening days of
a year which is to be characterized by a
great political struggle. we point 10 the
visible results of this period of power in
the State and Nation, and confidently in
Vite verdict upon the record.
