events and who has learned the lessons
of party influence, spoke to the rep
resentatives of Americas greatest par

of effort and persistence along party
lines, in eloquent words pointing out
what the Republican party has dono
for the Union, declaring that the Re-
publican party is the party Of construc-

progress Of the United States have been
the result OF the work of this political
power.
