What will induce the partisans of men to put principle above personality? I predict. my friends. that the great moving cause that will unify that great party and make these men forget their feuds and factions when confronted by the call of their countrys good will be the dire result of the passage of the Underwood bill. which will follow as surely as the darkness of night follows the splendor of day. Back there in the hills and valleys of my own great State of West Virginia there still remains some of that bitterness and animosity which the division of our party last year engendered. but if those men could only be here now and could behold this blind and reckless band of Democracy stamping out the American doctrine of protection. opening wide the door to the competition of pauper labor. and deliberately plunging this country into financial and economic depression. all to carry out a pet theory of their ownif they could be here and see all this as we see It there would be no further division In the Republican Party. The Republican Party must be progressive. The people of this country will indorse no party that stands still.
