Political Comment. !


The annual report of the Fourth As
sistant Postmaster General DeGraw
deals chiefly with the rural Tree deliv-
cry service. and the postal appropria-
ton bill shows how that service mas
developed in recent years under the Re
publican party.
Nothing so well illustrates, perhaps.
the character of the two predominant
parties in the United StOtes as does
the development of this rural free de-
livery system. Year after year it was
turned down" by a Democratic admin
istratiOn as being impracticable. and
yet under the operation of Republican
administrations it has developed i'm
every way successfully and most advan-
tageously to the agriculturists of the
country. Where only a few years ago
most of our farmers were able TO get
their mail but once or twice n week it
Is now daily brought TO their very
doors. giving them the advantage of the
daily paper and Of market and weather
reports. enhancing not only labor, but
the pleasure of living.
The system itself needs no defense.
The result of its working is its own
yindication. and the farmers of the
country are indebted wholly to the Re
publican party. which had the courage
as well as the sense to put the system
into practical operation ard constant
development.
During the year it will require an an
preparation in excess of S35,OOO,OOO to
carry on the service There are nearly
10000 routes in operation, and some
100000 people enjoy its benefits. On
less than LOCO Of the routes service is
performed tri-weekly. On nearly all of
the remainder the service is daily.
There is perhaps no Republican legis;a-
ton Of recent years that has carried
SO great a benefit to so many of our
people. OF course it is exceeded by the
pension legislation, established and lie
veloped by the party. but that has been
q matter covering over forty years.
while the rural free delivery service has
been in operation only ten years. There
still further as requirements demand.
and SO long as the Republican party re-
mains in power the rural districts OF
the country can be sure of having their
mail delivered at their DOORS and it is
possible that in the near future this
mail, consisting of letters and papers,
may be augmented by the delivery of
parcels and miscellaneous matter. SO
that the farmer wiz not only have his
mail. but his purchases, brought to his
home.

Written by Republicans.

The truth of history demonstrates
that the great organization, the great
power that saved the Union, was the
Republican organization. l remember
n few years ago when my genial friend
from Ohio, James 4, Campbell, was n
member of the House he took the floor
to prove that there was no Republican
party in 1864, when Lincoln was re-
elected. and he brought in a copy OF
the Tribune Almanac which showed
tlat the votes for Lincoln were given
under the caption of Union Republi-
cans and, he claimed, showed there
was no Republican party. The argu-
ment OF my colleague the other day
brought back the fanclful argument OF
James Z. Campbell, | think, way back
In the Forty-ninth Congress. The Re
publican party in behalf of Abraham
Lincoln appealed to the Union to strike
down that party, which in their plat
form declared the war a failure. Mr..
