that would be done were he to direct the
administration Of affairs, but were he so
empowered we could tell you some
things that would not be done by him.
You would not find in his letter of ac-'
ceptance an able argument against the
fitness OF presidential incumbent for
second term, followed by years of per-
SIStent and INSCRIPTIONS effort to Sc
cure second term. You would not find
in his official utterances uncounted
pledges for civil servic reform. and then
long years of constant prostitution Of
the civil service to all the
VILER USES OF PARTISANSHIP.
You would not find him striving to
destroy the silver coinage of the nation,
nor TO retire the greenbacks SO dear to
the people. Nor yet to strike down the
manufacturing interests of the country
In behalf of our old enemy and our
present commercial rival. You would
not see HIM usurping the functions of a
coordinate branch of the government,
and hundreds of times thwarting the
legislative will by reckless and wan
ton use of the veto power that is shame
less in view of the traditions of the re-
public. You would not find him sneer-
ing at the old veterans nor heaping
gratultous insults upon them, nor vet
belittling and minifying their service.
nor refusing to permit grateful people
to show their gratitude. You would not
lind him filling the representative place
of honor abroad with men who have no
just conception of what this government
IS, who know nothing of the indissolubls
cohesion OF these states and whose only
claim to recognition is to be found id
partisan service. You would not find
him
RETURNING REBEL FLAGS,
those honOred trophies of grand vic,
tories, to rebel archives. You would not
find him pattering about home rule in
ireland and then conserving to that
partisan conspiracy, justified only by
the footpads logic, that DISTINGUISHES
100000 free American citizens, retains
them in territorial vassalage and keeps
the name of Dakota from the shield that
deSignates state. You would not find
him contentedly and complacently &C
cepting the fruits Of that organized sys-
tenn of violence, fraud and outrage that
practically disfranchises three-fourthS
of million of Southern voters, thwarts
the popular will, makes a presidential

burns speech every reference to the
name of Allison was hailed with en- /
thusiasm by the friends of the Iowa
statesman, and the speaker himself was
cOmplimenteGwith a round of applause
as he closed his presentation address.
Mr.. Hepburn read his speech from
manuscript. At many points his re-
marks called forth applause, especially
when he referred to the protection Of

delegation rose, cheered, waved flags,
ETC., and were joined by some few dele
gates from other states. His compile
mentary references to other candidates
were also received with applause. His
sarcastic reference to the policy of Pres
ident Cleveland received considerable
applause, particularly the reference to
the return of Southern flags and that in
reference to the attitude of the governs,
