With the omission Of \ few phrases
having reference TO the then prevailing
condition of war. there 10 nothing TO dis
tinguish these utterances of the Demo-
cratic party forty ysars ago from those
of The came Bourbon party to-day. The
similarity Of phrsse0loEy used TO de-
nounce. to declare and to demand: the
invocation of the Constitution TO pre-
serve rights and liberties from imaginary
perils of Administrative usurpation. mill
tary subversion and individual invasion:
the fictitious concern over non-sxisting
financial and industrial burdens-all go
to show that the Democratic party Of

1854. snarling at the heels Of the Re-
publican party which now. as then, 10

and prosperity Of the people Of the Uni

IL will b observed that In August,
1854, the Democratic party assumed to
express ''the sense Of the American peo-
pie" in Its arraignment OF Lincoln and
the Republican party. an assumption
which the American people In Novsm-

formula Of arraigning the Republican
party ~ the party Of unconstitutional
usurpation. fanaticism, sectionalism, sx-

sr-and with two exceptions the Amsn-
can people have returned the same yer.
dict they did in 1854. In 1884 and 1902
certain exceptional conditions, for which
the Republican party was In nowiss re-
sponsible. caused the American people
20 lend trusting ear to the reiterated
impeachment Of che Republican sdminis-
tration. Clsveland's two terms were the
result. both giving conclusive proof of
the Incompetence Of the Democratic
| party to administer the government e.
| and practice they had denounced.
| In Cleveland's second administration
the Democratic party attempted to re-
place the Republican tariff with . mon
grel mixture Of free trade. class pro-
lection and special bounties, and then
came to pass the very conditions Of rev.
enus deficits, social disorder and wide
spread despair and misery Of which the
American people had only dreamed under
the spell Of Democratic demagosy.
| The restoration Of Safety and Sanity
| in the administration Of American af-
fairs came with the election of William
Mcniniey In 1896 Sines tnep the nation
has experienced Q period Of prosperity
unexampled In the history Of the world.
1t has waged 4 successful war resulting
In establishing liberty and = popular
government in Cuba, In extending Ameri-
can freedom, Justice and protection in
Porto Rico and the Philippines and In
advancing the United States to . power

polity Of nations.
Notkng like the national development
of these eight years has been known In
the past Of the republic. and with II
have come worldwide responsibilities
and duties, - well a. problems Of In
ternal government.
The Republican party within tbs Con-
stituhon, without straining any Of the
powers rsposed in the Executive or Con-
gress, has met the demands Of the hour
with courage, wisdom and success. to
which the chorus Of Democratic declama-
tion, dsnunciation and demands pays the
highest tribute.
So to-day in fts history. its policies
and its eandidates, the Republican party
appeals b the American people ~ the
party Of achievement, Of resources and
Of the courage 20 srappls with every
new phass Of national life. It is the
party Of sodnd principles, safe finance and
ssss execution Of the laws. The proof
