the republican, party md make It the
Instrument of reckless ambition and
u"settling principles Of our govern.

valuable tradition against giving
more terms to any one in the party
and the danger from it's breach could
not be measured.
The Importance of the great victo-

overestimated. All over the country
patriotic men are breathing more
freely that q most serious menace

OF the issues which VIII arise be-
tween the republican and the demo-
cratic parties in the campaign. It
will be time to do that after the cleo

been won. The party remains as a
great power, as an agency of real
progress in the development of the

upcn which it was constructed and
ever been maintained; It's future hope
is for usefulness as it's achievements
have been in the past.
