ley will be your guest to witness
the greatest pageant the country
has ever known In his recent
| speeches. the President has appealed
not to party, but to a national
spirit. He asks the aid of a nation
He seeks the support OF every man
who believes in the result OF his ad-
ministration. I make this appeal to
you. that you give loyal support to
President Mckinley and the Repub-
iican party in the spirit he has
asked for it."

mind, when he referred to recent
| speeches, a series of speeches made

national spirit at that time
