There was no holp for it bufc to go to court for a divorue. But thoy hit upon a happinr, and wb hope wisar, expodiejit, and wout to coiirting. That doaf minister wlll be likcly to have his hands f uil aftor this. All tho fragmenta of tlio Venttdomo col nmn have bcnn reoover d exoopt a smal portion near the top and middlo part o the haft.

The very preseuoe of those men was alune significant of victories already Bcbievod, progress aheady inade, and tho great distaiici; which the nation had traveled between the years 185{S and 18?. But grand as has been its record, the RepubEoan party rests not on its past aione. It looks to the future and graPples with its problema of duty and dangor. It proposaa as objcts of its imfnodiato Booomplishment completo liborty aml exact equality for all ; the enforcement of the recent amondments to the national Constitution : reform in therivil servioi;; the oational donuun to bo set apar;, lor lioiáes foi the people ; the adjustinent of duties on imports so as to secure remunerativo wages to labor; the extensión of bounties to all solrtiers and aailors who, in thé linte of duiy, beoume disabled; oonlinual mu óareful encouragemont and proteotion to voluntary immigration, aud guardiug with zealous oare the rights of adoptad citizens ; abeiition of tho t'ninking privilos:e and speedy rcductiou of the raies of postagn; roductioii of tho uatioiml dobt and rutes of interest, and resumption of speoie pnyment ; enoQinragouteut of Amevioaa oomi and of BÜip-boilding ; suirpression of violenoe andtiie protection óf tho ballot-box, it alD pl;;ced on record tho opiniuns and lurposes oi tlu: party iii tuvor of amnesty, against all forma of repudiation, and iudorsd tli' liuuiano aud poaceful policy of thü adminlstration in regirdtuthe lndians. But while clearly defining and distictly announcing tho poticy of tne Kepublican party in thü (juestiom of practical legisIntioa ay.l adininiëi íation, the Coüfei did not ignore tho grcat social problema which are prossiog their claims ïur s iiution, and which dumiind tho most careful study and wise eo&sideration. Foreniost Stands the labor cuestión. Concjrning tho relations ot' oapitul and labor the Kepublican party accepts the duty of so shuping loirislation os to secure full proteotion ami the amplest field for capital, and for labor, tlu; ircivcv of topittl, tho largMt apportionmeiit and j'ist sharo of the mutual profits of these two great servants of omKzation.

To guard woll w'mt has alrefKly been , soourod, to work out faithfully ana v.isély , what is now in hand, and to consider the ( inn-s'.ioiis whioh Me looruing up to view uut a little wuy before us, the Kepublican . party is to-day what it wat-in The glooiny years oí the a'lavery rebellion, which ' made reeonstruction a natioual hecessity. It appeals, thereforo, for support to the patriotio and liberty-loving, to the just and humane, to all who wottld dignify labor, to all who would edúcate, elévate aacl iighten the burdons ot' the sons and daughters of toil. With its great record, tho work still to be done, under tho great soldier whose bi6tory and renown and whoso suecesaful itdininitrvtion for the last throe years kas begot such popular coufidence, the Itcpubiican pirtv may confidently, in the lauguage of thè convention you ropnsin!, slurt a norvf marclt to victory.
