the first republican convention in Philadel
phia thirty-six years ago reads today NOR
! like inspiration than a formation of a polit
ical party. Every provision Of that grea
/ instrument is on the public statutes of ou
country today, which cannot be said of thu
platform of any other political organization
in this or any other country. Whether
anything is to be done in this country by
this country, for this country, the republi
can party is called upon to do it. This
party alone can look backward without
shame and humiliation and forward with
cheer and exaltation. We are here today
to make platform and ticket that will
commend themselves to the conscience
the intelligence and the judgment of the
American people, and will do it. What
ever is done by this convention, either as
to platform or ticket will receive the ap-
proyal of the American people in NoYem-
ber. This is a republican year.
Rhode Island has spoken. Only yester-
day Oregon spoke, electing two republi-
cans to congress. When we get through
this convention its conclusions will be law,
republican action and assurances of repub-
lican victory. We are for protective
tariff and reciprocity. The speaker con
tinued at some length in eulogy of the pro-
tectiYe tariff and of ridicule of tariff reform
as exemplified in the efforts in that direc-
tion by the democratic party and was
loudly and frequently applauded.
At the conclusion of McKinley's speech,
Hon. Fred Douglas, the colored orator,
was called for and he bowed acknowledge
ment.
Hon. Henry Bingham, of Pennsylvania,
presented a report that the rules of the
committee, making the rules of the Fifty
first congress the rules of the convention,
was adopted by acclamation.
Governor Foraker, OH behalf of the COM
mittee on resolutions, requested further
time and the extension was g4anted The
roll Of states was then called for names of
the new national committee When the
roll was called and Clarkson's name was
announced, cheer after cheer followed from
the Blaine delegates. A similar demon
stration greeted the report of the names
Of James H. Manley, of Maine and VIM.
Malone, of Virginia. When Missouri
was called and the name of Richard G..
Kerens was presented, the Harrison dele
gates made grand counter-demonstra-
tion.
Various resolutions which had been sent
to the clerks desk were referred to the
committee on resolutions without reading.
Chairman Mckinley then said that the
next thing on the list was the nomination
of candidates for the presidency. Senator
OuIlom rose, greeted by loud applause on
the supposition that the distinguished
Illinoisan had risen to place some one in
nomination. Cullom said, however, he
arose merely to question the regularity of
proceeding to nomination speeches before
the adoption of the reports of the commit
tee on credentials and resolutions. A glance
at the rules showed that the nominations
could not be made until the reports of the
committees were received. On motion of
Hon. M. H. DeYoung, Of California, the
convention adjourned until II tomorrow.
