It's platform and will present such can

will make that victory beyond shadow
of donbt. 5, far IS the candidates for
the presidential nomination are con-
cerned, DO not wish any gentleman to
feal that my election by your vote is IN
dicstive of anything relative to the

hearty support whoever they may be
(chsers). lam satisfied in my own mind
that when we go before the people OF this
county our action will be ratified be-
cause the great heart of the Am ericsn
people will never consent to have a pol
iticl party gain the ascendeansy in this
government whose chief reliance is on q
fraudulent ballot and on violence at the
polls. (Applsuse). l am satisfied that the
people of this country are too loyal ever
to allow man to be inaugurated Presi-
dent of the United States whose title to
the position Is brought forth in fraud.
am satisfied that the American people
/
never consent to have rev anue system
for tbs 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. I thank you for the honor you have
| conferred upon me.

Hon. w. G. Donnan, Of Iowa. pres
sented a memorial and petition by
the National Woman's Christian
Temperance UDion It bears the
signatures of officers of the Wom.
ans Christian Temperance Union
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
signatures of our officers, believe |
that while the poison habits of the |
nation can be largely restrained by |
an appeal to the intellect through |
argument, to the heart through |
sympathy, and to the conscience
through motives of religion, the |
traffic in those poisons will be best |
controlled by a prohibitory law. |
We believe the teachings Of science,
we believe experience and the |
golden rule combine to testify !
against the traffic of alcoholic |
liquors as a drink, and the homes
OF America, which are the citadels |
Of patriotism, purity and happiness,
have no enemy SO ieleutleSs as the |
American 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 |
by character and public pledge com
mitted to a national prohibitory con-
stitutiona1 amendment.

The petition was read and referred
to the committee on rules.
Leslie w. Russell, of New York,
presented the following, which was |
referred to the committee on reso-
lutions:
Resozoed, That the commit.
tee on resolutions be, and
they are hereby directed to
give a hearing to a committee
by the Irish Nationsl
League of America to present a
to this convention on the
subject of the ownership of realty
in the United States by foreigners.
Adjourned to II o'clock to-mor-
row,
After carefully studying the vote
on the question of temporary chair,
man, it does not appear to have been
really a test of strength as some
delegates voted with the view to
the action of the Ma
