We both, 1t Is true, have a past and

keep their past profound secret. We
seek by all means to publish ours to
the world. If we refer to their history
they charge us with calumny. We re-

our greatest glory. To the youth Of

stands forth. clear and shining. The
Republican party has never failed ex-

career OF victory, so rarely broken, has
been due to our meeting boldly each
question as it arose, to our facing ev.

with entire courage. fearless of conse-

true to the principles which brought
the party into existence and to the
spirit which has inspired it from its
birth
I'm this spirit we must prevail--by
this sign we must conquer"
