Worlds fair She promised the west to
help to get the Republican convention IN
1872. The west has been green enough to
believe this and voted for Chicago. II
Chicago now took the convention it would
be case of dignifed larceny, and she
should not go unwhipped.
Senator Henderson. OF Nebraska, and
Senator Carey, of Wyoming. also spoke for
Omaha. Carey said it was the gate way of
the the new empire of the west and north.
There were six new states voting next
time for President, and they should be
stimulated by the convention to become
Republican surely. John M. Thurston also
plead for Omaha. After 1900,
said he, the Republicans of the west would
no longer ask for the conventions, but
would be master of the situation politically.
Chauncey [. F'illey, of st. Louis, spoke
for that city, saying she had had two ma
ttonal conventions whose candidates were,
however, defeated and while he asked for
justice for st. Louis for what she had
done since 1876, he did not ask the conven-
tion 10 go to the city OF defeat. [Great
laughter.
When Nevada was called, f. S. New
lands was permitted to speak for San
Francisco, which he did enorgetieally.
The claims of New York were next pre-

had no candidate to push up; all would
have an equal canoe. San Francisco was
his second choice. New York city usually
furnished the Republican party two-thirds
of its sinews of war. The spirit of
the Democratic tiger must be met,
defeated and Gagged else the tiger will
eat up the country. 1t had taken New
\ ork and now was after the balance of the
United States. A convention in New York

Senator Hiscock spoke warmly for New
York. There is no vacation for New York
Republicans, they must fight to save the
state from the enemy, and convention
meant much for them. Senator Hawley, of
Connecticut, also spoke for New York and
Mr.. Fassett closed for that city
He said there was not an atom of
force they could afford to despise. New
York state never but twice failed to give
its vote for the Republican ticket and on
| one of those occasions the grandest Repub-
ican of them all had been defeated. TGreat
cheering for Blaine. A convention in
New ork would draw out 10, 600 Republi-
can votes which otherwise would not be
cast. The nomination or platform would
not be affected but the vote of the state
would be brought nearly within reach At
this point recess was taken for dinner.
Governor Foraker was the first speaker
for Cincinnati, and his illusions to Grand
Old John Sherman" and President Har-
rison, called forth tremendous applause.
