and they point with pride 20 the church

education was unpopular until they
took Il up, ana that now almost every
one Is willing TO be educated. they
say that while population was increas-

advancing, general Increase until the
Republican party came into power.
When attention Is called to the econom-
ic industrial and administrative vices
resulting from their ncompetency they
say that after all there are some things
which the all wise Providence insisted
upon doing without giving any par

whole, we may conclude that whatever

whatever the Republicans do IN admin

WHY MET TOGETHER.
Gentlemen Of the convention, beyond
the exciting passions Of war and the
reach Of disasters dread appeal and the
dead past's dying wall. we meet In the
clear and rational calm OF seasoned
common sense TO reason together for
the well-being OF our country and our
party. No man here can have his
exact way No leader can take US
along the narrow ledge Of his unques-
toned logic No section should swerve
us from the course that leads to union
and fellowship. No faction can d.
vide us into weakened parts and leave
us on the field Of battle in front of the
enemy, No man Is greater than his
party, and no party is greater than It's
