IN the fifty years that have passed
since the organization of the Repub-
lican party, one generation after an
other OF great leaders has passed away
The men who founded the Republican
party long ago followed the martyred
/ Lincoln beyond the stars. The next
generation, with the white plume OF
Blaine in the vanguard, has almost
without exception crossed the silent
river, and today we of the third gen.

his party, to reassert the principles OF
the Republican party as exemplified by
his administration.
Men grow old and pass away, but
the Republican party is ever young
It's emblem is the soaring eagle, and
not the croaking raven. Its camphres
are ever in the battle ground, and not
in the graveyard of disappointed hopes
It determines its principles, its policies
by present circumstances and not upoT
cropping misconceptions of the wisdom
OF Thomas Jefferson or the follies OF
