Sir: Upon the continued national supremacy Of
the Republican party hang continued prosperity
and The happiness and future security of our Pc
public. Its triumph means safe and sound
rency protection and development Of American in
dus;ries just tariff laws and reciprocal relations
with all commercial countries. The flag. the Con
gtitution. the Union liberty. citizenship and suF-
frage are things sacred 10 every true American cit
iZen. regardless OF race, color condition Every
country should be just all OF her citizens and
that they i've in the full enjoyment OF all Of the
rights and immunItes guaranteed 10 them by their
organic law. This would ever keep alive the flames
OF patriotism the affairs Of their hearts which
would beat responsive 10 their country's call.
The fair and impartial mind viii carefully compare
the records OF the two great political parties before
forming conclusion.
The magnificent achievements Of the Republican
party. both in and I'm peace. since the inaugIra-
tion OF Lincoln. March l. 1861. have no parallel in
the history or political parties It's policies are pro
gresslve. IL has successfully met every great
emergency. Its acts inspire confidence Its admin
istrauon has been pure. It's judgments have been
almost without fault Its acts always marked
with wisdom and free from undue haste II gives
;he greatest possible freedom the discussion Of
all questions and seeks to enIighen not to con-
fuse the people

and unskilled labor: money good the world over
TIE equality OF all before the law vberever
hsg floats. the building Of an isthman canal
adequate pensions for soldiers and sailors and
their widows and children. and the education OF tho

promise made and won the confidence Of the Ameri-
csn people and the admiration Of the civilized
world. II has built up a country with liberty as
its cornerstone and established domestic peace II
has in time Of peace strengthened our coast de-
fences 10 protect our country from invasion II has
appFehended and punished great criminals.
The record OF the Democratic party from 1860 10
1914 has been one OF obstruction IL has steadily
opposed all OF the Republican legislation which has
made this the greatest nation on earth The
