M'KINLEY's SPEECH.
Gov. .-elect Mckinley, In the course of his
presentation Of Cincinnati's claims, made
the following reference to the south: "Was
IL not worth while," Mr.. Mckinley asked,
"to try to carry some Of the republican
states of the south9 West Virginia was just
as good republican state to-day as Ohio,
and If the Republican party did half the
work in West Virginia and in Tennessee that
it did ing Ohio and New York
both those states would give their electoral
vote for the republican candidate. Let the
committee put the convention in Cincin-
natl, and those southern states would be put
in touch with it. Southern republicans
would be encouraged. They would come
to Cincinnati and take in some
OF the inspiration that would
be found in that great national
convention, wherever it was to be held. On
the questions of the protective tariff and of
the honest dollar the republican party stood
united, but 1t stood just as united on the
question of insisting that every citizen of
the country should have the right
to vote and the right to have
his vote counted. [ApplauseL That was
one of the Igreat cardinal principles
of the Republican party that should never
be forgotten; and no republican speech
should ever be made in any part of the
union that did not insist on the recognition
of that constitutional right of suffrage in
every section and corner of the land"
CHATTANooGA's CLAIMS.
Representative Evans of Tennessee, Intro
duced Col. Bradley to speak for the new
south, for Chattanooga, Tenn. Col. Bradley
said there were no more loyal,people on earth
than the republicans of the south. They
were republicans when It cost something to
be so. The loyal part Of Tennessee, East
Tennessee, sent more soldiers into the union
army than any corresponding area of this
country. After the war the republicans of
the north had forgotten their southern
brethren in the old whig states of Kentucky
and Tennessee, and left them to work alone
for their own salvation. But they had
with their own strong arms fought their
own battles and rolled up the republican
strength, as shown by the figures. There
IVES place for republican missionary
work. While the vote was dwindling out
west it was increasing in the SOUTH
and if such men as Gov. Mckinley and ex-
Gov Foraker and ex-senator Fassett and
others came down and preached republican
doctrine there would be the greatest revival
on earth. mo hotel accommodations
Why in '63 Chattanooga had accommodated
Gems. Grant and Sherman and
Thomas. Let the convention come
and the people Of Chattanooga
would build them a wigwam way up on
Lookout mountain, where old Gen. Thomas
fought his battle in the clouds. Now there
came up from the south, from the land of
bondage came the cry, Come and help US.
The day would then come when would up
rise in the south Joshua to lead the repub-
Iican hosts to victory across the Ohio river" i"
