solved that problem and have given YOU
a man who combines the wisdom OF the
statesman with the courage and gallantry
Of soldier. [Cheers and applause. No
man can hear his name men
toned without the thought rushing
upon him: We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are endowed
by their Creator with certain inalienable
rights, among which are the rights to life
liberty and the pursuit Of happiness
Applause.
His greatgrandfather signed that mag
nificent declaration, this Republican
party gave a million Of its soldiers and
their blood to consecrate, and at last these
words in the Constitution Of the United
States are assured to all. and if in this
broad land any man invades any of
these rights. whether belonging to the
humblest or the highest, 10000 900 of
the grandest race of people that ever this
world has feen, will spring to the de-
Tense. Whenever the name Of Harrison
is mentioned, rushes rapidly upon the
memory the names of the Thames and of
| Tippecanoe, of Resaca and Atlanta.
Now, do not think there is much use
of speech-making in this campaign.
am not much taken to the use Of praise.
In the words Of my friend Scott, Of Kan
sas City, thirty-fve or thirty-six million
people of these United States have start
ed in this campaign, and they are all
loaded for bear. For the first
time in the history of that
party, the Democratic party has
adopted its true colors. / have
heard gentleman here attacking the
Copperheads of the North; there was
some excuse for Copperhead let us do
justice to everybody. The Democratic
party for thirty years had said in its
platform that a State had right to
secede at pleasure. There was some ex-
cuse then for man born in the North,
who had been educated that way; but
now when they are marching again on
the heights of Gettysburg there is nc
excuse for any man. [Cheers.l
They have adopted the true flag; they
have been honest at last. The red ban
dana, the flag which no virtuous woman
ever loves, under which no brave man
ever fought. [Cheers.l 1t is the proper
badge in the cotton fields OF the South.
The poor old negroes, belonging
to that helpless and unfortunate race
wrapped it around their heads; it was
the badge Of servitude then and it is the
badge Of servitude now. [Cheers.l
They surrendered to the orders ol
Mr.. Carlisle when they endorsed
the Mills bill and made an. alliance
with England against their country
[Cries Of 'iGood, good" and cheers.
On the ninth day of this month in San
Francisco we put flag up on the bulle-
tin board and labelled it "The Bandana
of the Republican party" and that flung
out and swinging the stars and stripes
is the Republican flag.

The Chairman then read dispatch
from Russell A. Alger, requesting
him to. convey his sincere thanks
to the delegates who so Loyalty sup

The Evolution of a Hat.

\ Park place dealer In head coverings
displays in his window The evolution Of
a hat 1t is unique exhibition. First
there is a grave and sleepy white rabbit
in cage. Next to his apartment, as a
reminder of his possible fate, is a mass Of
rabbit fur from the bodies of some Of his
departed fellows Exhibit 3 in the collec-
ion is long. conical affair about the color
Of hornets nest, and scarcely as sym
metrical in form. It IS labeled: Form.
ing the fur into shape" The fourth stage
in the evolution is illustrated by an ex-
hbit entitled, Shrinking the body"
The large gray cone has been contracted
to half its size, but looks as ungainly and
rs little like hat as ever Exhibit o,
however looks very like hat. The gray
mass has been dyed black and stiffened,
and but for its frayed edges it would
make very decent headgear. The sixth
sample shows the finished hat, as hand
some Il derby as ever graced Uranium.
Its edges are bound, its interior uphol
stored with white silk, and is such a per.
feet hat as would make the sleepy rabbit,
marked Exhibit !, almost willing TO die
to produce such triumph Of art. New

that Il radical change has gone on in this
regard The rich men who have come
here entertain so grandly and dispense

Cullom told me the other day, the poor

Az xmERosxor HOSPITAL.

One Of the urgent needs Of Richmond
In the line Of humanitarian service 10 .
proper and prompt provision for people
who are manned by accident or become
suddenly III when their homes and friends
are not convenient for their care. This Is
not charitable duty, but one that covers
the accidents and misfortunes that befall
people sometimes in such manner as to
demand more than the ordinary atten-
ton. Whenever there is an ambulance
call for a case OF sudden distress, whether
the person Is poor or not, It Is fact quite
well known that modern hospitals are so
equipped INTELLECTUALLY and so furnished
with all the elements for care OF the sick
or wounded, that no private house could
possibly be so safe and comfortable.
The medical and surgical officers in
attendance are the best that can be had,
and the professional nurse is unmatched
FOR the qualities for such occasions that
experience furnishes even better than
affection. We point out these facts In
order that the City Council In making
appropriations may consider such an in
stitution as a necessity to the city, and
as for the amount Of money it would take
the council need not fear that taxpayers
would object to some Of their taxes going
in such direction.
The Providence hospital in Washing
ton and the ST. Luke's in New York arr
examples OF what we cite, though not in
The line of the special feature for emer-
gency service.
They are as complete and neat as pos
sibe, and the patient Is better cared for
than he could possibly be IN any place.
If he is person Of means, he pays his
expenses, and If not he is taken care Of
at the expense Of the community. All
this is entirely different from the idea Of
going to an almshouse, which is to GER
tain extent rcpugnant, as indicating that
person temporarily In distress is pro-
fesslonal pauper.
In the same connection we suggest thai.
the Council consider the propriety OF an
additional appropriation for the Retreat
for the Sick
