COLONEL HoyT's ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of the Convention, Del
egates CT the Republican Party of
Pennsylvania
To say that | sincerely thank you
for the honor you have conferred up
on me is the plain truth. | trust |
appreciate the magnitude Of the hon
or, and | know | realize its RESPONSE
bility. Pennsylvania is always the
pivotal State OF the Union. The eyes
of Republicans throughout the ma
ton may well be turned to the re-
suits of this days action, and more
particularly this days declaration.
As has been said by an illustrious
Pennsylvania Let your eyes be
upon the flag, not the flag bearer"
Many inscriptions are upon that flag,
inscriptions which We will not readi-
ly forget, and which will be an in
SEPARATION for a long future. You
have a right to expect from your
standard bearer energy, fidelity and
discretion, and as fer as possess
these qualities ] pledge them to the
success Of the party. We are Q pro-
gressive party. not q reactiouary one,
and the tendencies Of Republican
principles are towards q true Christ
ian civilization, and Is g result ma
tional prosperity. In the domestic
affairs of our Commonwealth We are,
by tradition and distinctively, friends
of protection to American industry.
We insist. as we sl ways Insisted, up
on the system of e which will
save to Pennsylvania the wealth of
her citizens, invested 10 her mines,
her oil fields, her furnaces, m~anufac.
lures, her farms. and all the industries
and labor interlaced with and de-
pendent upon their prosperity. Penn
sylvania Republicans are for a pro-
~tective tariff. We must deal, gentle
men, with our people as q whole, re-
,cognizing that prosperity in INT d.
rection mgst result in prosperity in
all directions We inVito the NEST
candid and patient discussion Of all
the facts of the situation. From this
discussion We shall learn that our
true relief will come from the natural
working of the natural, Inherent and
right forces Of the community; that
relief will be worked out by the nat
Eral laws of society as inevitably as
physical FACTS are worked out by the
laws Of nature. Our relief will come,
not mainly through Legislatures and
Congress, bat through normal action
of our civilization, as developed and
illustrated in our workshops, our
farms. our churches, and q school
houses. To a serious and thoughtful
man it would seem to be as impossi.
bic to inaugurate true prosperity by
artiGeial SCHEMES, as to construct by
the DEVICES Of tie ngrserymin the
gigantic forests Of oaks WHICH eJver
our bills. Surely every man and
every party is patriotic enough TO
adopt, and enforce, any intelligent
remedy suggested, and We should re-
eeiye with reclamation any schemes
from any sograe which fairly meet
the situation. But, genleEeG re
shn|! await the suggestion 10 sain.
In my Judgment the remedy will
come ultimately. ard only from the
persistent Common sense and COM
mon action Of intelligent commpni-
supplemented aud 10 oo-opera.
ton with a wise system Of national
fostering aud developing
the profitable employ a.ent Of the ma
tons capital. labor and resources
Let rs trust OURSELVES to the iitelli-
yenee and CONSCIENCE Of tbe men Of
Pennsylvania. Copyiaced that hap
py results will arise cot Of the sin.

nothing to defend. let Us not

let US be aggressive.
ave entire confidence that The united
lction Of our great party will again
indicate its right to public trust, and
