Use? Applause
And IL was not the result of acct
dent or circumstances. 1t was because
the republican party had found early
in its existence the true principles which
govern the people-namely government
by the people-a policy which was only
tried first as an experiment, and then
through the long years of experience
brought to its aid and support the best
minds and the best thought of our coun-
try; that added an impetus, supported
by the people, as result of these ex-
periences, an irresistible Americanism
which could not be checked, and give
notice to the democratic party, if you
get in the way we will run ever you.

FOUNDATIONS ONGER AND
STRNGER.
'The people are not narrow in their
line of reasoning. 1t is matter of
pride to us that the people of this coun-
try are so intelligent, and when hear
the suggestion that the time may come,
as a result of this enormous influx of
immigration, that the spirit of Ameri
canism will be contaminated by contact,
say oh, no, my friends, the institu
tions of these United States are upon
a surer foundation, and there is bull
wark, built years ago, which stands to-
day stronger and stronger. That bull
wark is our common schools, our insti-
tutions of education so that we are
adequately prepared for all assimilation
that may be necessary for any and all
who may come to our hospitable shores
II am speaking of the relationship
between capital and labor. The day is
dawning when that aM-important. aye,
economically important question, will be
taken up, discussed and considered not
purely from the standpoint of politics,
but from the standpoint of humanity
and society. Applause.
THAT is simply another milestone to
mark our progress in that direction,
but it will not be the last. Onward is
our motto as people, and, in order that
that advance may be safe and sure, all
the people must look for guidance along
that path to those who led them and
have led safely in the past.
''It is because of this that speak hope
fully of the future of the republican
party not only in Ohio, but in the ma
ton, and I would speak in such words
and with such emphasis as would inspire
the minds, not only of the republicans
by profession, but that of every man who
from the standpoint of humanity and
patriotism will and must consider the
best interests of his country.
Party affiliations do not always gov
ern judgment. Loyalty to party may be
all right when Indifference seems to rule,
but when the people are aroused to their
own true interests, and that which most
affects their own affairs, they will Judge
for themselves and select for themselves
that which is best, and discard that
which is not good"
THE REPUBLICAN PARTYIN THE LEAD.
1--WE have never failed when we have
gone before the country upon that solid
foundation, not of theory but of facts,
and have redeemed the prophecies we
made and fulfilled all that could have
been expected. We say now, starting
from the starting point of the twentieth
century, to all the people of state and
nation this is an age of progress. The
republican party is in the lead, and we
have no brass band ahead of us. [Great
laughter and long continued applause
1--WE are going to follow along the
lines and by the straight path which we
have trodden for nearly fifty years.
You must accept results as proof, and
if you consider, not only your own ma
terial interests, but the best interests of
society and of our common country, you
cannot fail to find yourselves in the
ranks OF the republican party, without
any regard to past party affiliations,
marching shoulder to shoulder with
soldiers who have won the battles of the
past, and who are leading on to new vic
tories, with that banner floating aloft
which proclaims the principles of the
republican party" Prolonged APP
plause.
