ST. LOUIS, June 7.-When the secre-
tary called New York, Hon. George
Raines advanced and said:
New York has withdrawn herself
until this moment from the delibera-
tions OF this body in the selection of a
candidate for vice president, but the
time has arrived for her voice to be
heard in unison with the acclaim of her
fellow delegations from Maine to the
capeS of the Western seas in behalf of
him who is the Cato of the republic. 1t
was the proud boast of the old Roman
that he spoke to kings and to the people
things which they should hear. 1t is
said his beard is gray with the, frosts
OF many winters, and the bar
barians will pluck at it. The greatest
gray-bearded senators sat in the cham
Der of deliberatiOn and the barbarians
overlooking the temples, plucked at
their boards. The work of this cam
paign is but the continuation of the
struggle of twelve years past. Admin
istrative reform arose like the halo of
light in the East, ,and spread its beams OF
healing over the CatSkillS and along the
Mohawk, cut the rivers of Ohio and
Cumberland, chased the shadows from
the state of Hendricks. poured down
the Mississippi valley and tipped the
Rockies with the morning of a
BETTER DAY OF THE REPUBLIC.
1t is written that Joshua, sun OfHNun,
was full of wisdom, for Moses had laid
his hands upon him. And it has been
written that the Lord spoke unto
Joshua, saying: Whatever thy feet
tread upon, that / have given unto
thee. There shall not any man be able
to stand before you all the days of thy
life, and whom shall Joshua, son of
Nun, send into the country of Amman,
to unseat in her senate chamber the
serpent god of the AmmaniteS." But you
must remember. fellow Democrats, that
throughout this land runs another
issue than that of administrative reform
1t is the issue of protection of the rights
of American industry, which stands as
representative of the American people.
and cO-equal with the grand Old Roman
of Ohio! You have declared in your
platform that American industry needs
no subsidy, and fears no competition.
UntaX American labor for its food; for
its clothing; for its shelter; for its tools;
for all material with which it works,
and it will defy the competition of the
heirs of squalid misery and dull-eyed
ignorance. Europe has poured millions
upon millions of competing emigrants
into our fields and factories. Two mill
ions of armed men beat weapons of war
into tools of industry and demanded the
share of
REWARDS OF AMERICAN LABOR.
You have declared that upon this grand
base of American industry you will
build the future prosperity of the re-
public. Beside the name of the repre-
sentative of the rights of American
labor, of the rights of American capital
interwedded forever, plays the name of
Allan &. Thurman. The battle line of
this conflict extends not alone along
the field of Indiana, not alone along the
plains of New Jersey or of New York;
it has been decreed that it shall sweep
from ocean to ocean. While | thank
the senator from Indiana that he has
appealed to US to send battalions to the
center of the line, let me say to him
that the president in his message, this
convention in its platform and in the
nomination of its vice president has de-
creed that they extend the vast re-
sources of Democracy across the cOnti-
nent. Above the reserve corps shall
wave the flag of Allan G. Thurman.
