points to the remarkable spectacle Of
the Empire state democracy going de-

make W. J. Bryan again the logical
candidate Of his partys
Altogether the situation is one Of |
hopefulness for the republican party, |
for gooa government. For us there
are no unsolved problems to contend |
with. We have no apologies to offer,
for none are necessary.

progress made during the past seven
years that the world has ever seen.
No American citizen whose heart is

this shower Of blessings, which has
Deen pouring down since 1897. No
man can fail to accord to the republi.
can party its full credit for all these
blessings. Twelve years t. Of such

Chicago they will have moth ing to dc
i but ratify the sentiment Of the people
