bis address Mr.. Miller called attention
to the fact that the Repoblican party
Of the State for the first time In twenty
i've years was confronted by both Fed
ersl and State Govsrnnents in the
hands Of the Democracy. By future

When We turned over to the Opposition
the Civil Service of the Government, no
better Civil Service existed under the
sun. Referring TO the political com-
plexiou OF the Southern States, the
speaker maintained that throughout the
length and breadth of that land there
was not to be foand single govern
ment which holds the reins Of govern
ment by the will of the people. The
Republicans. he said to prove this state
ment, only asked for fair field and a
fair fight. Continuing, in reference to
the alleged illegal balloring in the
South, the speaker said that the men
who have managed the polls in that
section would not continue 70 do the
work without pay. Upon the question
Of the Civil Service Law, Miller said
the Republican party had put the Law
into practical nse, and were committed

the Civil Service Commissioners be at
once summoned together and directed
TO add CLAUSE providing that all Jail
birds and ex-conviots are forbidden to
hold Office. This. be thought, would
relieve the President of the United
States. he closed by predicting q VIC
tory 10 November next.
The chairman was then authorized to
appoint the usual committees, and the
Convention took recess until 4:0 pm.

burn, that In order 10 have perfect good

tion called out rather q sharp debate, IN
which IL was charged that the regular

among other thines he said that honest
money and an honest ballot, an houest
count and protection to every form Of

cardinal doctrine Of the Republican
party. We stand today on haliowed
ground. Oa ysnaer mountain. in sight
