Political parties, like Individuals have records of their own. The record of tho Republican party is tho history of our country. It has met nnd solved evory national question that haB demanded solution H for over a half a century. Us rcc- SH ord Is clean and spotless. Tho Dem- B ocratlo party has a record too, a re- H cord that docs not inspire hope, and S Is remembered only in regret. Tho u new party, founded on personal am- 19 bltion may servo as ballast, It will Q never stear the ship, in tho words H of tire martyred William McKlnley. H "You do not hare to guess what tho Republican party will do. Tho wholo Wm world knows its purpose. It has vl enacted H, Into law and executed It jfjj in administration. Thero will bo gjjBf prophets of erll and false teachers 9-r Sotae part of the column' may waver a2 and wander away from the standard, SH but there will ever rally around It M a mighty majority to preserve it fl stainless." jjjl - HI |
