the failure of such Democratic substi-
! tutes have been shown beyond doubt
to be the efficient cause and the pow
erful stimulant to national growth
and industrial prosperity, until
Throughout this Union of state, the
word Prosperity" has become the
trademark of the Republican legisla-
tive product.
Resolved, That we congratulate the
Republican party and the nation up
on the splendid administration of
Theodore Roosevelt; an administra-
tion which, though it commenced In
the sadness and national grief caused
by the untimely death Of our beloved
leader, President William Mckinley,
has so well taken up and completed
the labors of that great man that
there has been no break between this
administration and the administration
which even its enemies admitted was
the most splendid then known to the
nation s history. We congratulate
the President upon his reliance upon
able and tried counsellors; upon a
clearness of thought and decisiveness
of action which make him worthy of
succeeding the great Mckinley; up

conservatism and wonderful prosper

creplt hand of Spain; the honor of
the American name has been upheld

gles of the combatants turned to
united effort toward the industrial
supremacy of the world; the party's
solemn pledge to foster industry but
to attack harmful organizations full

scendants will one day view as the
greatest achievement of the century
commenced by the making of treaty
which will insure the building of the
Panama canal, where free from the
influence of a South American gov

commerce may move THROUGH an Am
erlcan canal under the profoesioa of
the American flag. Under sue'l con

labors so auspiciously commenced.
Resolved, further, That we view
with especial pleasure the dignified
and statesmanlike course of a ma
tlonal congress, Republican in both
branches, which has been as much
source OF power as a Democratic. con-
gress, under a Democratic President.

we congratulate the Republican party
upon leaders IN congress and in the
party councils worthy the great name
OF their party. We congratulate the
chairman of the national Republican
committee upon his great services to
the party and the nation, and, in
view OF the splendid character of
those services and the confidence be-
slowed upon him by the Republican
party and the American people, es-

the head of political body which is,
by the value of its services to the peo
