MN. KEYEs SPEECH.
| He said he did not suppose the position
of Chairman was SO elevated. He knew
that there was work, but did not suppose 1t
was to begin so soon, and in the President
desk.
i For him to say that he was thankful to
i the Convention for the honor conferred
would hardly do the subject justice. He
did moi know as he ought to feel grateful,
/ however, and did not think it was for his
personal interest TO spend four months this
| year and six months next year i'll the hard
work of a political campaign. He wanted
no Office, State or national. Then why did
he take the position ? Because he loved to
work for the good of the cause. Applause.
The Republicans had last year made good

to elect a Republican United States Senator,
and to secure Legislature that would do
that, he had given time AMI labor in the last
campaign. He was glad to say that they
did elect one. Loud. continued and re-

q course as to meet the appreciation of his
political friends He congratulated them
on the success of their lAbors here. He
thought that better ticket had never been
made beneath the dome of the Capitol than
the one just nominated. Applause. He
believed it woald be elected. He hoped a
good committee would be added to aid in
accom- lishing this desirable result. The
ticket was unassailable, and had not a
weak place in it. II there was anything in
Gods world he wanted, 1t was to see the
Iso-cal;ed Reformers in January mex, march
out of the back door of tie Captoi and our
/ boys march in at the front. Applause.
