didstes before the American people as
will make that victory beyond q shadow
of doubt. 5, far IS the candidates for
the presidential nomination are con-
cerned, DO not wish any gen ,leman to
feal that my election by your vote is in

(chsers). lam satisfied in my own mind
that when we go before the people of this
country our action will be ratified be-
cause the great hesri Of the Am ericsn
people will never consent to have pol
iticl party gain the ascendesnsy in this
government whose chief reliance is on q
fraudulent ballot and on violence at the
polls. (Applause). am satisfied that the
people of this country are too loyal ever
to allow a man to be inaugurateG Presi.
dent of the United States whose title to
the position is brought forth in fraud. I
am satisfied that the American people
will rstify our action, because they will
never consent to have a rev anus system
for th3 government other than one that
will not only raise the necessary revenue
for its support, but will also b, sufficient
to protect every American citizen in his
business. (Cheers). Gentlemen, not for
myself but perhaps in obedience to GUS
ION. thank you for the honor you have
conferred upon me.

Temperance Union It bears the
of officers of the Woms

in forty. eight states and territories
and reads as follows:
To the National Convention of
the Republican Party:
We, members OF the Women's
Christian Temperance Union Of the
States herein represented by the
of our officers, believe
that while the poison habits of the
nation can be largely restrained by
an appeal to the intellect through
to the heart through
sympathy, and to the conscience
through motives of religion, the
traffic in those poisons will be best
by a prohibitory law.
We believe the teachings of science,
we believe experience and the
g 0lden rule combine to testify
against the traffic of alcoholic
liquors as a drink, and the homes
Of America, which are the citadels
o. patriotism, purity and happiness,
have no enemy SO ,eleutless as the
saloon. Therefore as citl-
zens Of the United States, irrespec
tive of sect or station, but
having deeply at heart the
protection of our homes, we
hereby respectfully and earnestly
pc tit'On you to advocate and to
adopt such measures as are reGui-
site, to the end that prohibition of
the importation expectation, man
ufacture and Gale Of alcoholic Dever~
ages may become an antegral part
Of the national Constitution, and
that your party candidate shall be
Oy character and public pledge com
nitted to national prohibitory con-
stitutional amendment,

After carefully studying the vote
n the question Of temporary chair,
nan, it does not appear to have been
eally a test Of strength as some
delegates voted with the view to
the action of the Ma
ionsl committee, leaving other
usstions to be acts d on later, while
