THE REPUBLICAN PARTY’S OWN ANSWER.

In his address to the republican national convention, Temporary Chairman Burrows referred to the republican victory in 1904, and then asked: “In view of this indorsement, it becomes pertinent and opportune to inquire, what has the republican party done in the last four years of government control to forfeit public confidence or create distrust in its capacity for future administration?” For this question the Rochester (New York) Union and. Advertiser finds a striking .. L wer. This is the answer which the Union and Advertiser takes >ut of the mouth of Senator Borrows’ own party: “In the effect of its policy it has precij - itated panic, blighted industry and trade with prolonged del pression, closed factories, reduced, work and wages, halted enter*, prise and crippled American pro- i duction. Every consideration of public safety and individual interest demands that the government shall be rescued from the hands of those who have shown themselves incapable of conducting It without disaster.” [From the republican platform of 1896.}
