permanent Chairman of the conyen-
ton. He spoke as follows on taking
the chair:
Gentlemen of TIE convention, thank
you 'or your kind partiality in selecting me
TO preside over your deliberations The
magnitude and enthusiasm of your meet
ing give assurance that you will accom-
plish good results. They also Indicate
that the condition Of our party in the State
is all that any of us could desire. Begin
ming a campaign as you have. you know
from tie becinnin- substantially what the
result will be-a complete victory for the
PRINCIPLES Of our party. take it that your
deliberations will be coniin ID to the nom
inaton of the candidates that are to be
placed before the people for election and
mostly to a few State matters; that you
will express the mind of the people as
their representatives upon matters of pub
lie policy only. | take it. perhaps. that
you may in this point be able to au-
nounce that while the Keuublican party
leads the vanguard OF civilization
and education, and will insist upon
the education of all of it's people. this can
be done with out encroHchment upon the
civil family, or religious rights of the citi-

plause.l On national matters | think we
need say nothing. The position OF the Re-

al matters it is unimportant whether
you speak or remain silent. The world
knows that the Republican party is and
ever will be the champion of the industrial

should explain the position of our party
with reference to the veterans of the war.
y he party which established peace through
the instrumentality of war is also capable of
taking care of its veterans and their widows
and orphans in their oil age. [Applause.l ]
That party alone is capable of and will
enunciate and enforce the principle that
that man who defended his country while
hi, country has wealth can never be poor.
that he cannot be beggar and that he will
not receive charity in the form OF Il pen
sion bill from the Government or in
the form of the dropping coin from
the hands of the passer- by. What the vet
cran gets will be given hlm not because he
is poor or poverty stricken hut because he
was noble and brave and defended this

measure in weight or in numbers the dol
lars that aee paid in pensions, that it will
not count as burden uron thcm any tax
for the payment OF premiums that is levied
