COMP. rosy os,, aout regard to the par
ticular pi..' = des which they uphold
in the present tssue.. you can usually
make up your minds which party you
ought to take, because between each
presidential election many issues are
likely to arise that cannot be sub
mttted to party, crises are likely to
come that cannot be submitted to the
rank and file Of the people. and you
have got 70 take Q party and trust 1t
to work these problems out, That was
exhibited In the record Of the Repub-
,lican party. with reference to the
Spantch war. We determined to end
the intel national scandal at our doors.
We went into the war in CTh1 and we
came out In the Philippines 10000
miles away and we had to decide the
issues which were there raised and
which were dimcult to meet. They
presented new phases Of government
that we had never had before. but with
William Mckinley at the head, with.
your own Elihu Root to aid him, az
one OF the greatest jurista and states
men this world has ever seen, with
the .Republic lean party. behind him. with
its solidarity Of discipline, with its in
telltgence aud with ito courage, those
policies. were carried through and they
brought credit and glory to the nation,
although they were not anticipated,
they were not asked In national con-
ventions and they were not considered
In national elections before they had
to be decided. j, am using that to IL
lustrate that one Of the great reasons
for the selection OLA party is it's
proved courage, It's proved experience
with reference to-. all issues OF gov
ernment that may arise.
Now what OF the Democratic party?
They. had power for four years. but
the minute they got into power they
began to quarrel over what they.
should do. They passed free trade
bill through one house and then In
the next house they made q kind Of
sectional protective bill. and before
they got through It assumed such q
phase that Mr.. Cleveland, the leader
OF the party. Tor whom We all have the
highest respect, pronounced that bill
an act Of perady and dishonor, and
that broke up the party and they had
to divide between free silver and the
gold standatd. ~ =

Democrats, on the other hand, do not
pay any4attention to injunctions with

injunctions ought not to issue In in

issue. under the same circumstances
