in tradition and accomplishment that
defeat itself has neither broken its
courage nor shattered its ideals, and
your numbers and earnestness give
splendid evidence of belief in the
rising tide of Republicanism that is to
bear that party to deserved and de-

Whoever without undue prejudice
has studied the course Of public events
during the past four years, needs no
further teaching to guide or influence
his immediate political action. The
history of those years is eloquent. Our
own great party, powerful and in
trenched as it was, allowed itself to
invite tho criticism that it was no
longer responsive to the growing desire
for rational and progressive reform,
and torn by internal dissensions. per-
picked and discouraged by factional
leadership and strife, was forced to
surrender to a united and triumphant
Democracy.

But as a party we have learned
much and travelled far since those
days Our fundamental principles, the
underlying policies that incorporated
into legislation have been so produc-
tive Of National prosperity and we'll
being-we have never repudiated or
ignored: and upon them as a firm and
sure foundation we have built anew

stronger and better than the one we
ourselves destroyed. Our differences of
opinion were in great part superficial
the outcome of recrimination and cha
-rin. more imaginary than real. and
they never affect the vital essentials
Of our political belief. They centered
more upon personalities than upon
principles. they concerned methods
more than results. and now that mu-
tual forbearance. tolerance and wis
dom have again come into their own,
we enter this contest reunited and re-
generated, eager to test the merits of
our cause and supremely confident of
its success.
