...Americans vote for parties. He then goes on to insist that, contrary to de Tocqueville and Mr. Bryce, actual parties with definite underlying principles do exist. His opinion is contained in the following extract: "Further, I maintain that a fair-minded examination of the present aspect of our two great parties leads to the conclusion that they still represent with reasonable consistency, the two great sets of interests, and the two great types of character, which in modern self-governing communities have usually lain at the basis of party system. One, I believe, has stood and still stands...
With the purpose of exhibiting clearly the permanent and essential characteristics of both the great parties he reviews the life of the Republican party through the periods of the territorial issue, secession, reconstruction, and subsidence to sectionalism, down to the present, "when two swift changes of issues apparently revolutionized our whole political system." He maintains, however, that in spite of the recent violent outbreak of discontent and in spite of the commotion caused by the Spanish war, neither party has been deprived of its essential characteristics.

Eaton was a little weak at his position in defense, and Graydon, who took his place, could open no holes. The guards and centre were slow and barely held their ground against lighter men. Daly hesitated...

Ten yards for offside play and Putnam's two gains amounting to fifteen yards then took the ball to the twenty-five yard line. No more gains could be made, and Daly kicked a drop-kick goal from the thirty-five yard line...
