GEN. vsGSUN's ADDRESS.
| Jr. yaruum eaid in part: 1.-The republican
principle il America for the Americans not
! in any narrow OF restricted sense, but for the
naturaliZcd citizen well the native born
for the Mexican or South American as well As
the citizen Of our own republic.
What ne have sought in order to accom-
Tli-h thls great result has been such AS might
bIai together i'll alliance of friendship and
mutual interest al nations upon the American
continent. despite their difiere noes of climate
rssOnIs and language.
I'VE believe that the means for effecting
such strong. firm ami enduring alliance has
been found in the principle Of reciprocity.
1T seems to us wise and statesmanlihe to open
all the markets. OF :le western hemisphere to
/ our own surplus crops and merchandise by
admitting FROM the other nations OF America,
free Of Gntv. nj snch articles our country
docs not produce III adequate quantity and
curing IN exchange therefor the exemption
from such nations of duties upon such articles
as IL may Dc profitable for our farmers and
manufacturers 70 export to them. The vic
tories Of piece are greater than those of war.
and #. AS VIC believe. this principle of reci-
Proclty can be carried out to the desired ex-
tent II VIII be a browning glory to the present
national administration. and especially to our
able and far-seelng Secretary of State, James
e.. Elaine.
-nurirg the third of century that the re-
publican party has been in existence it has pre-
posed and advocated many new and advanced
doctrines and principles o: action. Many of
them have been bite riy opposed within the
party as we'll without. but almost without
exception they have been eventually adopted
and accepted as souEdan wise by the cool and
deliberate better judgment of the country.
The democratic party can show no such
record. Such principles it honestly pro-
claimed have been overwhelmingly rejected by
the country as unwlse AMI inc xpedient, and
any steps III advance that have been taken by
any o. its leaders have been promptly rejected
and repudinted by the rank and file Of the
party.
The republican party has been in the past
and Is still the party of progress.
ii is shown that the Mckinley bill, without
lmTeriliug any active industry or injuring any
American farmer or workman, has resulted in
a freer and larger trade than ever before. Ex-
ports have been largely increased. while the i'm
ports have largely decreased. but only in those
articles which We can make at home and which
We believe should be protected.
With regard TO finance, the republicans of
New York have always, even in the darkest
days OF the civil war, been i'll favor OF the
sounde i and mcst honest financial principles
and measures. and 1 am confident that this
convention viii no: hesitate 20 proclaim in the
clea-est and most emphatic terms its adher-
ence 10 the principles as to honest money SO
ably and well expressed recently at Albany and
elsewhere by the distinguished President of the
United states"
REPORT on CREDENTIALS.
At the conclusion of Chairman varnum's
speech. which was received with enthusiasm,
the report of the committee on credentials was
called for and submitted.
Tie report favored the sitting delegates from
the counties Of Chemung and Seneca the only
contested cases.
Tho report was adopted.
The committee on resolutions was called, but
not being ready 70 report districts were called
for the Submission of names of members OF the
state committee.
The committee on resolutions not vet being
ready TO report, nominations were declared 10
be IN order Tending the presentation of names
OF candidates, however. Mr. Priest of Tompkins
read a letter from Hon. Andrew White with
drawing his name from the consideration OF the
convention.
NOMINATIONS MADE.
State Senator Edmund OConuor of BIuc-
hamton placed the name Of Mr.. J. sloat
Fassett before the convention. In doing so
he said that the name he was about to place in
nomination would, he believed, be approved
by the convention and ratified by the voters Of
the state mex. November. The candidate
whom he would name is a defender of the
tariff policy of the republican party and be-
hever IN the reciprocity policy of the eminent
Secretary Of State Great appiause.I man
who for three years led the senate of this state
with unparalleled briliancy, he stands today
without Il scar upon his name or his record.
No honest republican, can urge a reason for n
vote against him. We want him because he is
an aggressive republican. and with such a
leader as J. Sloat Fassett victory in November
Is assured.
Delegate Farthing of Erie placed in nomina-
ton the Hon. Philip Becker Of Erie.
