 Two hundred millions of currency have been added to the peoples money without disturb ance of the exchanges. Unexampied prosperity has crowned wise laws and their wise admins trstion.
 The main question which divides us is To whom does the credit of all this belongf Ora. tors may stand upon this platform more able and more eloquent than 1, who will paint in more brilliant colors but they cannot put in more earnest thought the affection and ad. miration of Republicans for our distinguished secretary of state. yield to no Republican, no matter from which state he halls, in ad, miration and respect for John sherman, for Governo. Mckinley, for Thomas B, Reed, for IowR's great son, for the favorites of Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan.
 "who Has Been President, AnyhowT'
 But when I am told that the credit for the brilliant diplomacy of this administration be- longs exclusively to the secretary of state, for the administration of its finances to the secre- tary of the treasury, for the construction of its ships to the secretary of the navy, for the introduction of American pork in Europe to the secretary of agriculture, for tDe settlement so far as it is settled of the currency question to Senator John Sherman. for the formulation of the tariff laws to Governor Mckinley, for the removal of the restrictions placed by for. eign nations upon the introduction of Amor ican pork to our ministers at Paris and Berlin. I am tempted to seriously inquire who, during the last four years, has been president of the United States, anyhow
 Caesar when he wrote those commentaries which were the history of the conQuests of Europe under his leadership, modestly took the position of 4Eness, when he said. ''rhey are the narrative of events, the whole of which I saw and the part of which was"
 General Thomas, as the rock of CbickamauRe, occupies place In our history with Leonidas among the Greeks, except that he succeeded where Leonidas failed. The fight of Joe Hooker above the clouds was the poetry of battle The resistless rush of Sheridan and his stood down the valley of Shenandoah is tho epic of our civil war The march of Sherman from Atlanta Co the is the supreme triumph of gallautry and strategy. It detracts nothing from tho splendor of the fame or the merits of the deeds of his heutenants to say that having selected them with marvellous sagacity and discretion Grant still remained the supreme commander of the national army.
 All the proposed acts of any administration, before they are formulated, are passed upon in cabinet council and the measures and suggas. tions of the ablcst secretaries would have failed with lesser president. But for the great good of the country and the benefit of tho Re publican party they have succeeded because of the suggestive mind, the indomitahle cour- age the intelligent appreciation of situations and the grand magnanimity of Benjamin liar rison.
 Must Carry Doubtful States.
 It is undisputed fact that during the flow months when both the secretary of state and the secretary of the treasury were i'll the pres ident personally assumed the duties of the state and treasury departments, and both with equal success. The secretary of state, in ac- cepting his portfolio under President Garfield wrote: "Your admin .stration must be made brilliantly successful and strong in the cona. dence and pride of the people, not at all divert ing its energies for reelection and yet cum. polling that result by the logic of events and by the imperious necessities of the situation"
 Garfield fell before the bullet of the assassin and Mir. Blaine retired to priva<~ life General Harrison invited him to take up that unfinished diplomatic career where it's threads had teen so tragically broken, He entered the cabinet He resumed his work, and has won higher place in history. The prophecy he made for Garfield has been superbly fulfilled by President HarrAson. In the language of Mr. Blaine "the president has compelled n rc-elec ton by the logic of events and the imporious necessities of the situation"
 The man who is nominated here today, to win, must carry a certain well known number of the doubtful states. New York was ried in 1880 by General Garfield, and in every important election since that time we have done our best We have put forward our ablest. our most popular, our most brilliant leaders for governor and state officers, to suiTor uon- stant defeat. The only light which illumines the sun of hope the dark record of those twelve years is the fact that in 1888 the state of New York was triumphantly carried by President Harrison He carried it then gallant sol dier, wise senator, statesman who inspired confidence by his public utterances in daily speeches from the commencement of the can. vsss to its close He still has all these claims and in addition an administration beyond criu- cism and rich with the clements of popularity with which to carry New York again.
