it was decided to send a committee before

tors Grady and Treanor, E. G. Wood, II J.
Gumbleton, John G. Boyd and George L.

The State Convention was called to order
at 1918 by Daniel Manning, Chairman of
the State Committee, who presented the
name of Rufus w. Peckham for temporary
Chairman In behalf OF the State Committee.
The convention ratified the choice of the
committee without dissent.
On being presented to the convention Mr..
Peckham was greeted with much applause,
and on taking the chair thanked the con-
vention for the honor conferred upon him.
He said:
"What is said by me will not be of much
importance. What is done by the conven-
tion will be Of the greatest i'm
portance. Three years ago the Re
publican party nominated for Governor
A. B. Cornell. The Democratic party nomi-
mated Lucius Robinson, doing what 1t
thought wisest and best for the party, but
owing to unfortunate divisions our
candidate was defeated. Cornell is
said by many Republicans to have
conducted a wise administration, but
the Republican party has set aside Governor
Cornell, and at the dictation of the Federal
administration has nominated Charles J.
Folger. He has not been nominated on
account of his personal power, but because
he IL representative Of the Federal power
and Federal patronage.
"Within one year from the death Of Gar
field we find that the Federal administra-
tion is forcing a candidate upon the Repub-
licans Of this State. This is the Democratic
opportunity. We want to nominate man
here who Will draw, in addition to the Dem
ocratic vote, the vote Of the Hslf-breeds or
Indedendent Republicans Of the State.
Applause. Never has the Repub-
lican party welded the civil service
power more basely than since G.. A. Arthur
became President by the bullet of an assas-
sin. We srrsign the Republican party for
its subserYiency to the money power Of the
"
srch-cOnspirator of Wall street. With a
surplus Of millions in the National Treasury,
we find that the Republican party has re-
fused to do anything to relieve the tax
PAYERS of the country"
