letter ta part foUowa: . '
-It la difficult to find out from tha
atterancea from oup opponents what are
tha real laauea upon which they propose
to wage thla campaign. It la not unfair
to nay that having abandoned moat of
tho prtnclplea upon wbloh they have

It away. Such an attitude w the prob
ably inevitable result of tho effort to
Improvise oouvloUone; for vwhen, thus
improvised. It la natural that tbay
ebould bo held In ft tentative manner.
The party now In' control of the

we have pursued pre those which wa
earnestly bold aa essential to the na
tional ' welfare and repute. Our aettonej
apeak even louder than our words for thai
faith that Is in aa. We base our appeal
upon what we have done and araiplng.
upon our record of administration and
laglaUttog during: the laat seven rears.
In whioh we have had complete control
of tho government. Wa to tend bt the
future to carry on the government ta
the same way that wa have carried it on
ta tbo peat. .
"Our opponeats ona criticise what wa
did In Panama only on condition of mis
stating what waa done. -The administra
tion behaved throughout not only with
good faith, but with extraordinary pa
tience and large generosity toward those
with whom It dealt. -It was also mind
ful of American mtereets. , It acted In
strict eompliaoeo with the law paaaifl
by "eon grace.- Had not Panama been
promptly recognised, and the transit
across the Isthmus kept op an. In ac
cordance with our treaty rights and
obligation there would .have ensued
endless guerrilla warfare and possibly
foreign oompltcattens; while all ebanot
of building the canal would have been
deferred, certainly for years, perhaps
for a generation or more.
.The decisive action which brought
about- this beneficent insult waa the
ekerctse by the preaident af tho powers
vested tn him. and hi him alone, by the.
constitution; the power to recognise for
