"There are no offices so Insignificant that we can affonl to nominate for them unfit or inefficient men. Wherever any office U to be filled, it shcuM not be filled by anyone who proposes or desires to subordinate it to mere personal aggrandizement. "An important campaign lies immediately before us. I have never seen the party In this Rrcat State more eager for the contest or more confident of the result. We will moet it upon the high plane of principle; it shall be a contest of principles, and we shall set Republican fulfillment against Democratic prophecy. We shall offer good men for the people's suffrage, and we invite our political adversaries to do likewise. "In this connection, permit me to observe thit it has seemed to me that during the last few years we have been pulling politics In Indiana upon a higher plane than ever before. There is less of defamation than in earlier years, and more appeal to the reason and judgment of nun. May It always be so. "Republican victory the coming year means much. The Legislature to be chosen must apportion the t?tate for legislative purposes. This is really its most important function It i. essential that we should carry both branches of the Legislature in order that we may enact a fair apportionment law one that is free from any taint or suggestion of the gerrymander. There are many hero that recollect full well the long and arduous task we had in tearing up. n.ot and branch, the Democratic gerrymanders and puttir.g upon the statute books an apportionment law which is fair and Jut to all parties. "We meet with no trace of factional disturbance. To the administration of President Roosevelt we yield loyal allegiance. With the party harmonious and united throughout the State, this is indeed a happy augury. It forecasts certain Republican victory. " Junior Senator Heard. Mr. Fairbanks was followed by Senator I'.everiuge, who was unusually eloquent. Senator Re fridge's address follows: "Fellow Republicans Glorification of the Republican party is always beautiful, and at a love frast of party workers it is especially appropriate. It is therefore with pleasure that I echo the sentiments of my distinguished colleagues. But, . after all, the Republican party is not the end it is the means. It is the welfare of the American people that -is the end. (Applause.) It is the power and glory of the American Nation that is the end. "The Republican party Is splendid In history and dear to us to-day solely and only because it has been the a cent of American progress at home and American supremacy abroad. It is because the millions of American citizens have understood this that they became Republicans. It was this which drew to our organization the myriads of former Democrats who have wrought so sturdily for our recent victories and who conslitute to-day so valuable and so valued an element of our strength. (Applause.) "Rvery true Republican is such only because he thinks that that is the best way for him to be an American. Republicanism is only a method of Americanism the highest method yet developed, and that is the cause of the continuity of our power. "Rut, fellow Republicans, it is not enough that we have been this in the past we must be all this intensified in the present and the future. (Applause.) I discredit not the Republican party's past I hold its record dear, as history holds It glorious;

all its deeds for country and for man; all its ordinances for human rights; all its enactments for the permanent prosperity of the Republic memories of battlefield and council hall, of heroes, warriors, statesmen, of mighty names, historic work and deathless fame, of Lincoln (applause), Sumner, Grant, of Morton, Harrison and Blaine, of homestead laws, of the policy of resumption, of the great statutes of protection. tf th3 equality amendments to the Constitution all these are ours as much to-day as when they were vital with the necessity of the hour. (Great applause.) CONDITIONS EXECUTED. "But these are conditions executed, the record of things achieved, not problems existing and pressing for an answer. And it Is to these last that we must address ourselves. We cannot depend exclusively even on our recent past, whose brilliant splendor is so near that it well might blind us the new and immortal names we have given to the world, new and destiny-determining deeds, new victories for the Nation's honor and the majesty of the flag. Applause. "We have fought and won the battle for honest money. We have saved the name 'United States' from shame. Great applause We have driven from the Islands of the Occident and Orient the savagery ami incompetence of a senile race, and we are building there the best administration ever given by a governing nation to its v. ards in all the history of the world. ILong continued applause. . "We have lifted the financial center of the human universe out of Europe and set it down w ithin the boundaries of the Ameri (an Republic. Applause.

Our lines of trade, even though they have been carried on foreign thips. have woven a golden network of American commerce around the globe. "Rut we cannot rest on this. The law of the Re publican party's life Is progress, to do new things as moving time demands them, to counsel with events, to fit new methods to new conditions which the old methods no longer fit applause; to move onward as the world moves onward, aye rnd from the beginning of the twentieth ctn:ury to see that the United States actually leads in the march of the nations.

victory, and this i3the reason of that miracle for us victory has meant nothing but an opportunity to do r.ew and constructive work to make wiso progress, to achieve conservative advance. This is what has won for us the allegiance of the thoughtful, earnest, progressive men of other parties, this is why it is that, in American public life to-day there Is nothing but the party of the government on the one hand, and on the other hand a disorganized opposition without a single clear belief or a single concrete conception. Great applause.) This tells why the confidence of the country is ours, and this warns us how that confidence may be lo.-t. "Organization Is Invaluable, even in its narrow ?ns but Ideas and Ideals alone make organization vital. Principles are tho life blood without which the organization, however perfect, Is lifeless. The people care nothing for the spoils of oflice. The people despise the feuös of faction. Rut the people care everything for the prosperity of the country: the people care everything for the honor of the Nation; the people care everything for the power and glory of the Republic over all the earth and on all the sea;. Great applause. MUST TURN TO FUTURE. "Therefore. It Is to the future that we must turn our faces and to new work that we must put our hands, and it is upon the work that we do and the progress we make that the next campaign must be fought and won, and not on progress past or work accomplished 3'esterday. Applause. "All the problems are not solved. The great question of American ships on the world's high seas must be discussed and settled, and that is a question profoundly grave. The readjustment of our commercial relations with the world, whose trade we must retain and increase, must be studied with caution, solved with regard to the intricate Interlacings of industry, executed fearlessly and firmly but with conservatism and delicacy, and that is a problem graver still. "An American colonial policy must be builded slowly, carefully, wisely, with scientific method, until the world shall admit that America's way of governing a dependent people Is the best way yet devised, jut as the world has been forced to admit that American inventiveness has produced the best machines yet.. constructed. Applause. "The reform of our financial chaos, bo solidly and brilliantly be&un, must be continued until our finances are arranged in scientific system, responding to Improving business methods for finance exists for business, not business for finance. "Scores of national necessities branching out from these fundamental lines will one by ono require attention. And this is the weighty task before the administration. And upon the record the administration make3 in doing this work the Republican party must appeal to the American people. And, fellow-workers of the Republican party, the Republican administration will do that great work well. Great applause. Inspired by the example of the greatest American President since Lincoln, the immortal McKinley long-continued applause, with the chart of the future made by that master mariner before him, with the voyages McKinley traced thereon and the ports he marked to guide him. with the final orders of our greatest captain sounding in his very soul, with his own clear, even, firm mind and fearless heart thus aided, with the prayers and faith of the American people to uplift and sustain him, Theodore Roosevelt, our new commander,' will guide the Republic safely through every storm and over every sea. Our highest hope for him, our best belief in him is that he will prove the worthy successor of that best-beloved of Presidents whose world policy and unyielding conviction gave to America a new place and a new name among the nations, and he will. Applause. "With sympathies as varied as American Interests, with outlook as broad as American destiny, with courage as high as America's mission in the scheme of civilization, with purpose as steady as American character, with faith in and love for the American people the very passion of his life. Theodore Roosevelt will rise to the sublime heights to which the successor of William McKinley needs must rise as the chief magistrate of the first Nation of the world, the President of the United States." Governor Durbin followed Senator Beverldge in a speech that was full of good sound logic. Although the Governor read his address It was not lacking In elements that arouse real enthusiasm. Governor Durbin. "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen I am a Republican. I deem it hardly necessary to make this statement in proof of my fidelity to the party, but rather for the purpose of emphasizing the fact that each of us should accept it in our minds and hearts as a cardinal principle, shorn of all selfish purpose, open to but one interpretation the permanent good of the organization to which we here renew our allegiance, regardless of mere personal considerations or Individual ambitions. "We are not the Republican party of Indiana, only its humble representatives, and whatsoever we may do or contemplate doing, will prove of no avail unless it has the stamp of approval of the great mass of sovereigns of this commonwealth, each of whom, happily, has equal voice in the affairs of government. The immortal Abraham Lincoln left to us as' a valued inheritance the forceful injunction, 'Keep close to the people.' Let us, therefore, bear in mind, especially those of us who have been favored by preferment, that we are but servants of sovereigns, who have the power to create and unmake, to determine and condemn. "The Republican party has achieved success by systematically and determinedly adhering to positive policies. To recount its victories, to enumerate its beneficences, to dwell upon its glorious achievements in peace and war, would be but to repeat nearly all that is comprised in the pages of history concerning the progress of the Repubiic. "The eyes of the nations of the world are now upon us. From every quarter of the civilized world come mutterings against the so-called 'commercial invasion by the United States. The earth has oeen traversed and oceans have been spanned by American genius and industry. We have expanded, not only territorially, but likewise commercially, so rapidly that the great strides made are not adequately realized except by those who are patient students of .statistics. And all this has been accomplished through the wisdom and guidance of the Republican party. We should be thankful for these results, and it is most befitting that we should here and now renew our devotion to the principles which have brought about conditions which redound to the greatness and glory of our country. INDIANA'S CREDIT. "In the progress that has been made In national affairs, Indiana can consistently claim Its full quota of credit and honor. Our senators and representatives in Congress have been in full accord with administration policies, and their loyalty is appreciated and commended by their constituents. With such a record, with rarely a note of discord, there is no reason why we should not look to the future with the same feeling of hopefulness that has so well served the pood purpose of crowning the past with achievements as distinctively great as any to be found in the annals of time. "Indiana Is a Republican State. That fact has been established by the returns of the several general elections of last past, but we must have care that this prestige, obtained only after a persistent struggle for supremacy, is not frittered away Ly Ill-advised counsel or action. Fortunately, the party in this State has never been dominated by any one man or closecorporation coterie. Our people are too intelligent, self-reliant and independent to tolerate anything partaking of the characteristics of political bossism. Any assumption of dictatorship is repugnant to their sense of right and Justice and they may be confidently counted on to resent the least encroachment upon what they consider their vested perogatives as free men. Those who assume leadership must ever boar in mind that personal or political ambition is doomed to disaster unless it is cordially reinforced by the rank and rile. "Some other parties may possibly succeed by star-chamber sessions, secret conferences and close corporation methods, but the Republican party cannot expect to do so. I believe every man, however humble, who shares our political belief should be taken Into complete confidence and full fellowship. Furthermore, our constant aim should be to unite all efforts in behalf of party harmony and success, rather than for individual aggrandizement. The counting of chickens before they are hatched is not always productive of results most desired; hence It Is far better to defer mathematics along those lines until after the Incubator his received proper attention. "You, gentlemen, here assembled are charged with a highly important responsibility. You represent a power that has been instrumental In enchancing the material and social welfare of the State, potent In giving broader significance to our claim to a nation guaranteeing human liberty.

white folds of 'Old Glory. Let us Jealously guard the sacred trust, ever mindful of our responsibility and obligation to the people, for bv no other means can we retain that confidence and support upon which tho future s-uccess of our party depends. ' THREE ILLUSTRIOUS MEN. "Since the preceding annual love feast, death ha3 claimed three Illustrious men to whom we are all cordially attached by ties both political and personal. William McKinley, President, Christian, statesman, American nobleman, fell victim to a bullet fired by a worthless monster. The tragedy was so wanton that It shocked the sensibilities of the whole civilized world producing grief sincere and universal. To that far-seeing man, whose mortal remains now repose near his old home in Canton, the Republican party owes much and the people of this Nation, regardless of party, owe more. He served his countrymen faithfully and efficiently; he died without a blemish on his record In the public servI ce. "Another life of great usefulness and honor was ended with the passing away of our illustrious fellow-citizen Gen. Benjamin Harrison. As long as he lived we were glad to accord him the distinction of being the foremost citizen of our State, the accepted leader of our party. As President of the United States he demonstrated qualities of statesmanship that won the respect of men of this and every other nation. As a citizen, a coworker and friend his counsel was always valuable, his assistance much sought. On the field of battle he proved his courage and patriotism; in the councils of his party he was masterful; in the forum he was Invincible. His life was one of usefulness and his name will survive in the list of immortals who have been conspicuously identified with the progress of the foremost nation of tho world. "And still another whom we respected and loved answered the dread summons, which came so suddenly, so unexpectedly that we were dazed by it. When James A. Mount died the Republican party of Indiana sustained a loss that cannot easily be repaired. He was essentially a man of the people great of mind, of heart and conscience. He had faith in the people and they had faith in him because they knew he was honest with them and honest with himself. His influence for good was farreaching for the reason that he was known to be righteous. He had tjarely cast aside the robes of oflice he had so signally honored when the hand of death, swift and sure, laid him prostrate and lifeless. His public services were characterized by thoroughness, fidelity and efficiency, and his memory is sacredly cherished by the people, who know full well that In all hi3 efforts he was inspired by wholesome, unselfish, lofty purposes. " 'The good deeds of men live after them. Let us therefore profit by the record of the life work of these departed statesmen and heroes by emulating their virtues, by consecrating ourselves anew to correct principles and invoking the grace of the good God above us in all our undertakings in behalf of what we consider to be for the best interests of the party, the State and the Nation." Representative Holliday; Representative E. S. Holliday came next in the list of speakers. He talked briefly, but his remarks were forceful and to the point. "The history of the Nation for the last half century has been the history of the Republican party," declared Mr. Holliday. His hearers evidently agreed with him, for they cheered his remarks. He went on to say that the small period in which the party was not in power might be termed a mere interregnum. "We are strong," asserted the speaker, "because our promises have been fulfilled, our pledges have been kept." Mr. Holiday alluded to the fact that the older men of the party are proud that their maiden votes were cast for that martyr and patriot, Abraham Lincoln. This declaration was also vigorously applauded. Mr. Holliday told his hearers a thing that they perhaps already knew that we are making history low. He spoke of the isthmian canal, so long a dream, and eloquently told how some morning the country will awake to find the waters of the Atlantic mingling with the tide of the Pacific. "And It will be American industry and American capital that will have done It," he added. In referring to the relations of the United States with the Philippines, the Cubans and the Porto Rica&s Mr. Holliday said that in dealing with their wards the people of America have followeel the scriptural admonition, "Whatsoever that ye would have others do to you do ye also unto them." Speaking of the future of the Republican party Mr. Holliday declared that there must be continuous progress all along the line. He believes that if the march of progress i3 continued as it has been going on the country will be rewarded with new victories, more conquests and more glories for this great Republic. "Words of Mr. Overstreet. Mr. Holliday yielded the floor to Representative Overstreet, who spoke briefly. His opening statement was greeted with a laugh of approval. It was to the effect that he had circulated a little among the boys since coming to the love feast, and believed he could say that the indications are favorable for another Republican victory next fall. In the course of his remarks Mr. Overstreet further said: "We took the initiative years ago In the advocacy of the principle of protecting American industries and American labor. When we found the underlying principles of the business success, the money of the country, were in a stricken condition and wavering in their credit, it was the Republican party and, 1 may say first those of Indiana, that had the courage to step forward and declare in favor of more secure financial basis upon which the business might be constructed. We have to-day established a foundation by. a secure standard and a broad credit for the Nation. We have built up the Industries of the country until they are reaching into the uttermost parts of tho earth with their American wares. "I do not know what the gentlemen have said who have preceded me, but, speaking for myself alone and without committing either the party or friends to my position, I believe that, having built up the industries of the country until we have become the foremost commercial nation of al! the earth; having established those principles upon a firm foundation, that the Republican party, as the friend of both of these prinicples, can now safely and courageously taKe hold of the tariff question and remove from the protective list those products which no longer need the protection which the Republican party has heretofore given. I waiver . nothing In my advocacy of this great principle of protection to our industries and to la'jor, but believing as a friend of that principle that when a business is so far advanced that it has become a controlling influence in the price of material and product that it no longer needs protection, we can safely pass its products to the free list. What that may be is for careful consideration and determination. What these schedules should be the friends . of that principle should say and say courageously. I do not know that it will come in the next week or the next year, but I say that as Republicans who have built up the principle and have stood firmly for it through years, that we can safely begin consideration as to whether or not as friend of that principle, and not its enemies, we can afford to investigate the problem safely with a view to adjusting the tariff schedlue. I am opposed to a general tariff revision. I am in favor of tariff adjustment to meet the new conditions which have arisen in late years. When you look at the experience of the past and have seen how safely the Republican party has taken hold of questions and adjusted them, you need have no alarm of general business disturbances when the Republican party shall take hold of this question with honest, calm determination to adjust it properly under all circumstances and conditions." Fred Land!, of LoRansport. Fred Landis, of Logansport, a prospective candidate for Congress In the Eleventh district, was another speaker of the morning. Mr. Landis's short talk sparkled with gems of real oratory. He said: "When the book of time Is opened to receive another page we glance within, and for us history's fading line has a most delicious fascination, while the very parchment seems to veil most mystically the faces of the famous and the grand. This day the departed marshals of the Republican party speak to us, and to them we drink "memory's mellow wine. "We drink to Lincoln, the cabin born, into whose hands as a ragged child an outraged God placed emancipation to Lincoln, who broke the chains of bondage but ne'er a vow with country or with heaven Ha sprang from poverty the soil of fame he wore the mantle of a mysterious nature and on that mantle the white rose of Infinite kindness.

until the end of time. Had Almighty God started the world with Abraham Lincoln the vexations of human kind had been less this day indeed. "We drink to Grant to Grant, the Chesterfield of war; to Grant, who was embarrassed most in the hour of matchless triumph; to Grant, who with the sword of victory knighted the kneeling foe . ad bade him rise; to Grant, who thrust the shaft of honor through the dragon of inflation: to the silent Grant, who surrendered only to his God. "We drink to Rlaine. the gladiator, from whose brow dishonor stole the garland of his country, but upon whose brow to-day no hand can dim the splendor of immortality. "We drink to Benjamin Harrison, the friend of Fighting Joe Hooker and the friend of man, patriot without pretense, the statesman without display, the lawyer without a peer. To his grave in beautiful Crown Hill 'over yonder the sons and daughters of Indiana will wander through the years to be. "And last of all, my comrades, we drink again, and as we. raise the glass the echoes of a bugle seem to come back to us. The page we hand to time to-day contains his name. That page is still moist with the tears of his countrymen. We drink to McKinley, the patient sage of Canton the great McKinley. He came in obscurity, in this cradle society cast no scepterchance no crown, but ere he fell he was the Ren-Hur in the race of nations. "The glass Is not drained nor the list complete, but those great 'souls who made the Republican party the knighthood of human progress need no mortal word. "The Republican party has sent to heaven the grandest aristocrats of freedom since liberty bell tolled for the last of the fathers. "Our future will be the offspring of our past. The graves of the grand are at our feet. The stars of destiny shine o'er our heads. "The Republic Is Immortal; the Republican party is invincible; Indiana is Republican, thank God, and let us in the twilight of this year register the solemn vow that Republican she shall remain." Other Addresses. Dr. C II. Good, of Huntington, one of the candidates for Congress from the Eleventh district, made a short speech. He pointed to the fact that the Country was. never so prosperous as it is to-day. There is no trade or calling, he said, that has not been touched by a protective tariff and a sound financial policy. A Republican has a right to feel proud and to meet in this great love feast and tell about the progress the party has made. He spoke of the sorrow that came upon the Nation by the assassination of President McKinley, and said that President Roosevelt should be given the most earnest support. Another speaker was Carey Cowgill, of Wabash, who is also a candidate for Congress from tho Eleventh district. In his remarks ne alluded to the incident of President Roosevelt inviting Booker T. Washington, a colored man, to lunch with him. "One of the gentlemen had a dark skin," said Mr. Cowgill, "but the President in his strenuous life had often before taken meals with other men of dark skins. And, besides, this man was one of wonderful attainments, of great usefulness and famed throughout our own and other lands." Chairman Goodrich received a telegram from the president of the Indiana Club, in Washington, sending greetings. The meeting adjourned about noon. ' AT Tili: MARION CLIB. Tho Republicans of the State Hare an Enjoyable Time There. Visiting Republicans, candidates and their liegemen capped a lively day at the Marlon Club smoker given last night for their benefit. Not satiated with the good speeches at the love feast in the morning they eagerly absorbed additional oratorical tld-blts in the evening. Not less than 500 good Republicans passed through the doors of the club, gossiped and chatted in the clubrooms and jammed the bowling alley hall in the basement to hear Senator Fairbanks, Representative Overstreet, William Lw Taylor and others. The smoker furnished all the components of a jolly evening. There were plenty of cigars, plenty of music, plenty of speechmaking and best of all, an abundance of good fellows. Judge James M. Leathers in his capacity of chairman of the entertainment committee, acted as general master of ceremonies, presiding at the speechmaking anti looking after the comfort of the visitors generally. Thomas C. Whallon was his right hand man and between them they divided the honors of a successful entertainment. President Kirkwood was everywhere with a cordial hand grasp and a smile. To the crowd in the hall Judge Leathers in opening the programme said that since the Columbia Club the evening before had provided a first-class vaudeville entertainment there was no necessity of the Marion Club doing the same thing. The idea of the smoker was to bring together the candidates and the men whose support they want.- Although Senator Fairbanks was really too sick to appear before a crovd he had consented to talk for a few minutes and. had got out of bed to come to the club. Judge Leathers continued, and the big crowd cheered at the mention of the senator's name. Bert Feibleman led the programme with a few well-delivered recitations. First he gave '.'The Fallen Artist," and to an encore recited a singular tale of how a youth was rescued from the second story of a burning building by using a stream of water as a ladder. He finished with "Bill" De Vere's "Old Taller." Mr. Harry Mercer followed Mr. Feibleman wjth several vocal solos and then the speeches were in order. Senator Fairbanks spoke for perhaps ten minutes, and it was evident that he was a sick man. His theme for the most part was "William McKinley," and the life and services of the late President wrere eulogized in warm terms. To the Marion Club the senator paid several high compliments, calling attention to the value of the organization not only tothe party in the city and county, but in the State at large. Representative Overstreet followed Senator Fairbanks in a short talk. He recited some of the things the party had accomplished within the last two administrations, and dwelt with emphasis on the value of such reunions and "comings together" as the present love feast. He also complimented the club. Attorney General William L. Taylor was called upon for a speech, and as usual was not found wanting. His few remarks furnished much of the wit of the evening. Charles W. Miller, of Goshen, who wants the office Mr. Taylor now holds, responded to a call and told the boys how glad he was to see them all. Thomas B. Millikan, of Henry county, candidate for state treasurer, divided applause with Nat U. Hill, of Bloomington, who also wants to take care of the money of the State. Robert A. Brown, clerk of the Supreme Court, was sighted, and had f. ascend the platform. Griffiths Dean, of Marion, another of the aspirants for the nomination for attorney general, and John Dyer, wf Hammond, candidate for state treasurer, followed Mr. Brown. Edward E. Neal. of Noblesville, who would like to be clerk of the Supreme Court, was not overlooked in the speechmaking. John B. Cockrum finished off the programme with a few graceful remarks. LETTER Fit 031 GEORGE W. STEELE. Good Reasons "Why He Could A'ot Attend the Love Pennt. The chairman of the programme committee of the Republican love feast yesterday received the following leUer from Representative George W. Steele, dated at Washington: "Your letter expressing the hope that 1 may be able to attend I find upon my dek to which I have just returned for the first time in four weeks on account of the sad loss of which you are aware. I And a great accumulation of work before me, scores of letters from correspondents to whom I owe so much, and I must give attention to them. Then General Sewell, my personal friend with whom I have served for twelve years on the board of managers, National Soldiers' Home, of which he was vice president, died yesterday and is to be buried at Camden, N. J., on Tuesday, the day of the meeting of which you write. I feel that I must attend his funeral. On account of all this I ara sure you will excuse me, and believe me when I say that I wish I could be with you. I would like to add my eulogy to those which will be passed on the greatest party organization that ever has or ever will exist in this or any other country To enumerate its achievements would require volumes. It has been loyal, intelligent and progressive, and the fruits of its labors are everywhere discernible in a condition of national prosperity never before equaled in the history of our country " Stops the Cough and AVorks Off the Cold.

SCORES OF THE CYCLERS LEADING TEA32S.IIAVE COVERED 404 MILES AXD FIVE LAPS. Final Sprint qJT the Tvrcutlctli Honr . at Rostr.n AVon by McFarlund General Sports. BOSTON. Dec. 31. The final sprint which closed the second day or twentieth hour of the six-day bike race at Park Square Garden was won by McFarland. The score of the leaders was 404 miles 5 laps. The riding was featureless except that twice during the evening sprints were started which caused some teams to lose laps. In a long sprint the Carni, Krebs and Müller teams each lost ons lap. This sprint was hardly over pefore there was another, in which the Müller and Jack team lost two laps and the Krebs, Chevalier and McConnell teams one lap each.
