SREPTERD. itizens: I congratulate you apon the picious oceasion which brings us together. The tidal wave, w one year ago bade fair to overwhelm the republican party, has receded, and left its oppouents stranded on | the beac. The people of this country have again shown their unwillingness to deliver the great government into the hands of the party once trosted. but now feared—that party | which bad well nigh demonstrated the inca- | pacity of man for self-government, by deli y- | ering the only experimental government ever | formed on this idea, bound hand and foot, to its enemies. And I believe and trust. fellow- citizens. that the approaching Centennial year will find the American people more firmly beund together by patriotic recdllec- and resolves than any year which has ceded it. In the state of New York, notwithstanding that the party which boasts of Tammany as its central and controlling organization, masqneraded in its garb of reform, notwith- | standing the nomination of two republicans as their standard-bearers, they lose 40.000 | votes and the legislature, while the Tam- many ring, aided by the so-called “inde- pendents,” lose their entire ticket, and two good and trne men. Hackett and Phelps, are re-elected to positions they have before honored. In Pennsylvania a gallant and true soldier bas been reelected to the position he has graced and honored for one term. So in Wis- | consin, in Kansas, ia Minnesota, in the goodly state of Obio,in Iowa, from every quarter of this fair laud come the “glad | Udings of good news”—the advent of the Centennial year with the plaudits and ap- | probation of the people to the party of good government and true patriotism, who hays brough! the nation nuseathal oooh tne | Serce ordeal of ciyil war. And bere in the capital of the nation we t to-pightas republicans, glad and proud of the occasion which brings ua together, | proud of the great and good President who presides over the destinies of this grand re- public, proud of the party which has re- deemed the pational metropolis from the *qualor and filth in which it bad lain moul- dering for nearly half a century, a bye-word and reproach among the cities of the earth, | ard transformed it into a thing of beauty, making it worthy of the hallowed name it bears. I thank you for this compliment, gentle men. It is pleasant to feel that oie is ap- preciated by his fellow-citizens, and I ean only assur for myself, that in the fa- ture a8 ip the past 1 am for good republican | government; the advancement of the mate al interests of this great nation, the pre- of our debt in money. and in all that tends to the progress and advancement of my fel- low men.

C.,"advertised in to- | day’s issue of THE Star, and recently or- ganized, is founded upon ‘the system of the “Providential Life Insurance company of London,” and is designed to reach and benef! allclasses—especially the workingmen. It ts said that the shop and factory offer poor In- ducements to canvassers who get a commis- sfon on the paid prem!um onty; consequently insurance has not been brought home to workingmen in this country, but by this sys- tem which has had such’ a_ marvellons growth in England, worlingmen's policies are made a specialty,and the merchant, physi- cian, undertaker, and employer has it in his power to protect himself as well as his pa tron from loss. Insurance by the industrial plan reaches the infant one year old, as well as the adult, and the monthly and’ weekly payments of ten and five cents are designed to protect the poorest in our midst. The average American insurance policy is too bigh to meet the necessities of the poor; the premiums are beyond their monthly or weekly Incomes, ati they are necessarily a debarred class, and when death invades their householés poverty denics even a decent in- terment, and the physician’s bill goes un- paid; but the insured in the Indnstrial, by the very smal! monthly or weekly premiums, suffers no drain upon his hard earnings, and is enabled to protect his family from want and destitution. The adult and infantile tables have been arranged by askillful and experienced actuary, and the figures and rates have been made to conform to the American rates of interest and mortality, thereby Trotecting alike the insurer and the insure he president and the other officers are citizens of Washington, and are weil ks.own as men of means, integrity and iaflu- ghee, and under thet managemént we cad waren. .0F the company success, and com- t tothe public as an institution of safety and economy.
