may be trusted to prove false to every
principle which in the last eight year
they have laid down as vital, and to leavs
undisturbed those very acts of the ad
ministsation because of which they ASK
that the administration itself be driven
from power. Seemingly their present at
titude as to their past record is that some

different spirit. We are not constrained

are divide on no vital question:; our POI

In such a fundamental matter as the en-

been enforced and that legislation has
been enacted to increase the effectiveness

THE REPUBLICAN RECORD
Assuredly 1t is unwise to change the
policies which have worked so well and
which are NV working so we'll. Prosper
ity has come at home. The national hon
or and interest have been upheld abroad.
We have placed the finances of the nation
upon a sound basis. We have d ne this
with the aid of many who were formerly
our opponents. but who would neither
openly support nor silently acquiesce in
unsound finance. We know what we
mean when we speak of an honest and
stable currency. We mean the same
thing from year to year. We do not have
to avoid a definite and ccnclusive com
