The San Francisco call., 1904-03-13

We must stand for the Republican party and
its principles. II any of US has a slight differ
ence or a misunderstanding with his fellow
, Republicans he must forget it. We will have
TO night man TO man and arm to arm and
when the time comes will be numbered
among the banner States and give to our
standard bearer a majority OF so 600 votes
and then the world may look upon as Re
Dublicans who can and viii fight for their
party and their principles to the last.
Attorney General Webb followed Sell
wage with a. speech that showed his
confidence in the party. He said in
part:
The outlook is brighter now for the Re
publican Jarty Than it has ever been be-
fore. We have made the country in the last
four years. We have built it UP and given
the people prosperity. We have protected the
farmer, the manufacturer and every good citi-
zen in every walk Of life. And now, after
all that have done for the people do you
think they will go back on US next November?
Never. Rest assured that they viii stand by
us in the coming campaign and fight for us
till victory Is assured.
We have been recognized the world over by
the crowned heads Of empires and kingdoms
ana by magnates and kings OF finance in
a bower which the world looks upon and re-
spects, Kings and Emperors wait till they
have heard from John Hay at Washington
before they attempt to take any important ac-
ton Our strength is recognized. We are
feared anc respected and our power Will in
crease as the years and the days roll by.
R1IOSREhlI4 FOLLOWS.
The Democratic party has given the country
free trade and free silver. They would ruin
this vast and beautiful land with their empty
principles. We have come to the rescue with
sound money and protective tariff; and what
is the result? We have built up a trade that
stands unequaled in the world to-day. Our
treasury Is the richest in the universe; our
people are happy and contented. and as long
we will give them protection and sound
money they will not forsake us.
The magnanimous Mckinley brought this
condition affairs about and the
iican party is allied with Providence. While
the Democrats allied with every power
but Providence.
General Woodruff entertained the
gathering with some original With
cisms and was frequently interrupted
with cheers. He told of the progress Of
the flag in the Orient and wound up by
paying a glowing tribute to the Repub-
lican party and the Union League
Club.
Samuel Shortridge spoke at length on
the progress Of the party from its in
fancy-how it had battled against the
political elements and won out at
every turn. He concluded his address
by saying that as long as the party is
in such good hands and so well man
aged, there is no fear but that the peo-
pie will stand by it in its hour of need.
Walter Brunt sang an original song
on the political prospects of the day. 1t
ran to the tune of "A Hot Time" and
provoked applause and laughter. The
meeting came to a close with the sing
ing of Aud LangSyne" by the quartet
and three rousing cheers for the party.
