BUFFALO, y. T.. Feb. 3.-The

"The republican management" he
declared, lis rendering small service

an instrument of attack upon Ameri-
can leadership and honor. When the
history Of this great period Is written,
It will be known as golden era Of
American achievement, American
craftsmanship and American honor.
~
with what patience we may. an in
terlude Of republican incapacity. The
American people have paid and are
still paying a staggering penalty for
the election Of a republican, house
and senate. All processes Of govern
ment have been impaired and the
work of reconstruction delayed. De
velopment and extension of American
business has been prevented and the
peace of the world postponed. Rude
and unskilied hands have been thrust
recklessly amidst the interlacing
strands Of human destiny. The op-
position has conducted campaign Of
baseless criticism and slander Of the
president. Its leadership has at
tempted to persuade cur country into
reputation Of international obliga-
tions and an abandonment Of our all
lies, in whose company only a few
months ago, we were fighting TO save
civilization.
