plause.) Republican conventions mean
something. They have always meant
something. {Applaase.} Republican
conventions say what they mean, and
mean what they say. Applause. They
declare principles and policies and pur-
poses, and when intrusted with power
execute and enforce them. (Applause.)
The first national convention Of the
Republican party was held thirty.six
years ago in the city OF Philadelphia.
The platform Of that great great con-
vention reads to-day more like inspira.
tion than the affirmation Of political
party. Great applause.) Every pro-
vision OF that great instrument made
by the e'fathers OF our party is on the
public statutes OF our ceaatry to-day.

other political organization in this or
any other country OF tho world.

10 be done in this country aud BY this
country md for this country the Repub-
lican party is called upon to do it.

about our organization that cannot be
said about any other. 1t can look back

1t can look forward with cheer and ex-
ultation. Great applause. That can
not be said of any political organization
other than ours in the United States.
Thus, gentlemen OF tho convention, we
are here to make a platform and a ticket
that will commend themselves TO the
conscience and intelligence and iudg.
