"The Democrats have about exhausted IN
the Fifty-first Congress one year of Congress
sona life In vain attacks upon a tariff bill
made up Of 300 items. At this rate of pro
ceeding they would have to be trusted for SOC
years in power before we could see a tariff re.
form as agreed upon by our conflicting Demo.
cratic friends.
Our pledges have been kept, all save one

publican party If IL will be contcnted untn

mission for the Republican party"
/ As Mr.. Fassett named the leaders of
the party he paused after the name of
| Lincoln. When he came to Harrison
| and Blaine he brought the two names
out in one breath that the applause Of
the Harrison men would seem to mingle
| with the applause of the Blaine men in
| recognition of she ex-Secretary of State.
| The Harrison men recognized the
point and Senator Hiscock sat back and
! laughed as he applauded. There was
/ much enthusiasm, and the applause was
renewed again aud again, while hand
| karchiefs and hats were waved high in
the air.
MI Fassett completed his speech at
/ 1;Og o'clock, and took the gavel in his
hand before the convention realized that
he was through.
Then he was applauded loudly, but al
most Immediately there went up cries Of
"Reed, Reed" and Immediately the
convention was on its feet, shouting and
waving hats. Mr., Fassett held up the
gavel in his right hand for momentary
silence,
"l'he Hon. Thomas B. Reed is always
In order,'' he said,
Every eye in the hall was on the big
man from Maine as he sat in his gallery
chair, his face crimsoninZ as he shook
his head in response to the continued
calling. But the convention would not
be satisfied without him
The applause continued until Mr.
Reed, rising his straw hat in bis hand,
picked his way to the aisle and walked
down to the Chairman's platform. 1t
was with a grattied smile that he took
the hand of Mr. Fassett. Theu he
stepped to the front Of the platform and
stood for moment looking about the
hall. There were cries Of Quorum p'
from the delegates. Mr.. Reed did not
understand, and he turned to ask Mr.
Fassett what it was. Then he turned
back to his audience and said:
"Arr President and Fellow C1tizens--I want
20 add in the presence OF this vast audience
my hearty expression Of fuith in the future of
the Republican party LAppiuusel. Its past
needs the endorsement Of no man II hus the
endorsement Of history, for the deeds of the
Republican party are history Itself ,2ppuusal
and whilo we are prevented from pointing
with pride 70 tho achievements Of our party
on account of our touderness for the Democ-
/ racy, nevertheless We sit here today rejoicing
that our past history shows that from oui
birth until now our character has been such
thatit is guarantee of the future. 1t is true
we have done great things, but it is equally
true that VIC have no right 10 rest upon them.
Our past is glorious, but our future will be
more so. lApplause.l
ut Is true that we have given to this great
country wonderful physical prosperity. 1t
{ is true that wealth has boen poured into the
lap Of all our people by our great system,
which we believe in and we have carried out.
But l say 10 you to-day there is nober
future than having given prosperity before
the Republican party, and the NOBLE future Is
to give every citizen of the United StaJcs the
liberty of thought aud action. LAppllu' p. !
Wealth and prosperity are noble, but human
liberty is magnificent" [Great applause.l
MIR, Reed then left the platform and
returned to his seat Then there were
cries for Mckinley, and amid great en-
thusiasm Gov. Mckinley bowed his
thanks.
Cries of 'McKinley ~ mingled with
cries of "Ingallsp' until the Chairman
said, as he brought down his gavel: "No
coercion in the Republican Convention. I"
