] It is still virile, still true to the coun- try, to a government of the people; still helping to develop the resources of the country and to continue those policies under which was fought the greatest civil war that ever was waged in the tide of time. We have substantially paid the war debt, and we ever hold in grateful remembrance the men who wore the blue and had the highe. -t post of honor in that great contest, constituting as they did one-third of the battle force of the Northland, while... the other two-thirds were maintaining the Government and supporting the army. Since the close of that great war we have paid to the heroes who fought in the field and to their widows and orphans four thousand million dollars in pen- sions, thank God, and we will continue to remember their service and bravery until the last of them has answered to the final roll call. [Applause. ] The Republican party! It was good enough for a majority of the people, when certain men, on their own motion, got together at Cin- cinnati and named themselves Liberal Republicans; and in these da3^s, when we have "•progressive" Republicans, and "■ independent"" R pub- licans, O men of the Middlesex Club, let us wipe the word " Republican " off our banners, and forget our party's glorious achievements in the past, before we add an adjective to the name Republican.
