fail to name such, our flag goes down
in defeat before the organized appetite
for spoils and its allies. The candidate
| of this convention must be of spotleSs
character, and with umblemiShed po-

whose armor of integrity there is
| NO FLAW OR CREVASSE
| for the Judgment of censure or calumny.
He must be man versed in the public
business, schooled in the public Serv-
ice, fitted for the high Office to which
we consecrate him, by broad experience
and observation. He must be man of
| affairs. The Republican party is one of
| deeds as we'll as of doctrines-results no
less than lofty sentiments. Its just
| pride and browning glory is to be found
in the long record of what it has ac-
| complished. 1t loves liberty and it Gre
| ates free states. 1t loves mankind, and
| it strikes the shackles from the bondmen
| and makes freemen. 1t loves equality
and it places tine ballot in the hand OF
the humble and bids him stand una
| Dashed by the side of him who is the
| strongest. 1t loves the flag and the I'M
| ION OF the states, and it builds navleS, it
oct md r. I'M
| piles rebellion under its eonQuering feet.
1t sympathizes with the struggling poor,
and it gems the prairies with Il million
happy, prosperous homeSteadS. 1t
| feels
THE DIGNITY OF LABOR
| and it protects the nations industries,
and the mill and the factory and the
| forge are erected, the children are school
ed and prosperity smiles on every home.
1t loves honesty, and it pays the ma
tionat debt. 1t is filed with an exalted
sense of justice, and in mercy after the
sword is Sheathed. it restores its pros
trate foe to the high station of untram-
meled citizenship. 1t is party of lofty
sentiment, and it preserves the national
| debt, fills the national treasury with
abundant revenue, and gives the nation
almost two billions of currency, the
equivalent of gold. 1t is, indeed,
party in which enrolling sentiments
| abound. but they have been followed
by grand achievements. as in the
economy of God, fulfillment follows
prophecy. Have we among our num-
| Der some one who, in his public service
has been contributor to this rehearsal
| of Republican Endorsements? Some one
| who, in the legislation of this genera
ton has aided in writing this record?
Some one whose record shows the votes
upon all questions that for quarter of
| century have tried the courage and
tested the wisdom of patriotic men,
that he has been upon the right side-as
time has determined the right in the
honest conviction of the Republican
party of this day? Gentlemen, the state
of Iowa bids me name to you this man
fit to be your candidate,
WILLIAM B. ALLISON, OF IOWA.
Of all living men, he is the one we
most do honor, Iowa asks his selection.
1t is the prayer of that state that has
been more true to Republicanism than
all others that have been truest. All
others have sometimes wavered. Iowa,
never. In all others. sometime in your
history, some part of your ticket has
met defeat. In Iowa. never. In thirty
four years of consecutive victory, no
man has been indicted into state of

| senate who did not follow your flag and
| march in your column. Fortunately for
our candidate, in the Republic we recog
nlze no rights OF pedigree or ancestry.
There is no primogeniture nor entail in
the hOnorS of the state, save those of
worth and genius. In these he is richly
endowed. He was called to the public
| service in the early days of 1861. The
times needed high courage, hopeful
ness, integrity, practical common sense
and unlimited capacity for work. His
| early life and experiences had taught
| him that these qualities were the
ANTIDOTE FOR THE RIGORS
| of newly begun and humble fortune.
| He begun to deserve much at the hands
| of the people, and they recognized the
| value of his services, have been hon.
| ored by his presence in the congress for
| more than twenty-five years-twenty-
| five years Of most eventful history, and
| every page of the legislative portion of
the record William B. Allison has
| helped to write. 1t is In these records
that you will find the attestation of his
| worth. When he entered the congress
he recognized the perils of the situation
| "a continent at war: human liberty,
| mans capacity for self-government, the
| issues. He knew that it was only by
| the use of all the resources of the ma
ton that success could be won. So we
| find him in the legislation of that day
aiding, by marshaling the men and
| granting the treaSurerS of the nation
with unstinted hand to meet all the
acquisitions of the commander-in-chief.
And when peace was won, we find him
striving, on all occasions, to pay, so far
| as payments can be made, the Just
| claims of the heroes, mutllated and
warworn, who, by imperishable deeds,
| had
SAVED THE STATE.
| When he came into public life the coun-
try was reaping the fruits that followed
| that wOeful experiment, the tariff of
1916. The conditions had not changed
for the better from those little earlier
described by President Buchanan in his
annual message, when he said:
"We have possessed all the elements
| of material veal in rich abundance, and
yet, Notwithstanding all these advan-
tages, our country at this moment is in
| deplOrable condition. In the midst of
unsurpassed plenty in all productions
| of agriculture and in all the elements of
| national wealth we find our manufact-
cries suspended, our public works re-
tarded, our private enterprises aban-
doned and thousands OF useful laborers
thrown out of employment and reduced
| TO want. Inc revenue OF The govern
ment, which is chiefly derived from du-
ties on imports from abroad. has been
| greatly reduced. Under the circum-
stances, loan may be required before
| the close of your present session. But
this, although deeply to be regretted,
would prove to be only slight misfor-
| tune when compared with the suffering
| and distress prevailing among the peo-
ple." This picture of the langulshing
Industries would seem to be dark
enough, but the

by the fact that the 8OO,0O0,0 600 of gold
