had congressmen, senators and legis-
latures. Have any better laws result-
ed? Has the country been exalted?
Has statesmanship been placed on a
higher and abler plane.
Failure has marked every page of
populist history. And why? Because
it was born for spoils—reared by men
whose sole aim was to get office. Whe
any party is built and exists to foist
upon people men who in other parties
could get no recognition, it is on a
foundation of sand. It may fool the
people for a time, but Its end will come
early. So 'with populism.
The honest members of that party
found fusion exposing the main object
of the leaders of that party. This was
evidence that office was the chief de-
sideratum. Having finally discovered
this, they deserted the part. They
would no lnoger follow fusion.
Had .the populist party some firm
principles to base on, and then had
stuck to them, as the republican party
djd in the fir*t ten years of its exist-
ence through ignominy and failure
there might have been some hope. But
it did not Hence it could not live. Its
this country, and yet there w ill be
plenty of men hanging on to the old
democratic party, and wanting to nom-
inate a ticket under that banner. So
with other democratic tenets which
have been proven by practice to be
egregious failures. But the old
cannot reform their minds; and som-
new liners, for wane of energy or in-
terest enough to think for themselves. 1
will go along tl>e same old route—and
the democratic paity win live.
So also there will always be a th.i 1
party. It is mev:,able in such a coun-
try as ours, where experiment is a de-
light, and the restless a large element
of all communities.
Republicanism will never die; frt is '
the basis of the government; the blood
in the veins of prosperity; the safe
guard of national honor and stability
And the republican party, by the logi
of recent events, has come to power t •
remain for twenty years. The peopl-
believe in it more firmly than ever, it
is th- home of conservative progress;
of higher civiliation; of widened na-
tional power and grandeur; of enlarg-
ed humanity and more exalted man-
h. h ":.-n--e and education had
t. t fitted us to perform with 3uccts*
and rred i. To my mind the past and
present teach but one lesson—to th©
negr-.'s friends and to the negro him-
self—that there is but one way out,
ners l that there is but one hope of salva-
tion. nnd that is f r the negro in every
part of America to resolvefrom hence-
forth that he will throw aside every
non-essential and cling only to essen-
tial?—that his pillar of fire by night
and pillar of cloud by day shall be
proper y, skill, economy, education
and christian character."

that the salvation of the colored rate
