task imposed upon them.
"Actuated by purposes for the ac-
complishment of the public good. led

rity and capacity, with no paramount
issues for which to apologize, or decla-
rations of principles to retract-the ar
bitter of all interests. and the promoter
OF the public welfare-the republican
party faces the future assured of pub
