In the words of tho martyred William McKinloy: "You do not havo to guess what- the Republican party will do. Tho whole world' knows its purpose It has enacted it into law nnd executed It in administration. There will bo prophets of evil and fnlso teachers, Somo part of tho column may waver fcnd wander away from tho standard, but there will over rally around it 1 a mighty majority to presorvo it if stainless." 1 |
