Hon. Albert J. Beveridge, formally opened the Republican campaign at Tomlinson Hnll at Indianapolis on Friday night with one of the ablest and masterly addresses ever delivered in the state. It 1 ib the key note of the campaign and as such the Republicans are proud to accept it.. His views on the finance question and the future of our country should be read inid carefully studied by every voter of i every party because they are ques-1 tions of far more vital interest to the welfare of the country than! any which have been presented to the American people for a long time. During the course of his remarks Mr. Beveridge said: “No matter what your views on the Dingley or the Wilson laws: no matter whether you favor Mexican money or the standard of this Republic: we must deal from this day on with nations greedy of every market we are to invade; nations with statesmen trained in craft;

nations with ships and guns and I money and men. Will they sift 1 out the motive for your vote, or will they consider the large result of' the endorsement, or rebuke of the administration? I repeat, it is j more than a party question. It is Inn American question. It is an ! issue in which history sleeps. It jis a situation which will influence rthe destiny of the Republic. 55 ' Our new neighbor, the Democrat is not the first, nor hardly less than the fourth or fifth new paper that has started up in Rensselaer and proceeded to sweep the county, in their mind’s eye, by a campaign of slander. All these, even as the Democrat does now, called The Republican bad names, and claimed a larger circulation: and some of them were even ready to swear to the claim of larger circulation and to most any other old claim, for that matter; but for all the big claims they made, they have all turned up their toes to the daisies and The Republican still does business at the old stand. Just as we expect to do long after Bro. Babcock’s Rensselaer venture has become simply as unsavory a reineniscense as the many similar ventures that have preceded his unless he adopts a different method from that he is pursuing now.
