SENATOR JOHN SHERMAN Kiniey and Charlie
foster-some Of the Juveniles. He congratulated
bis hearers earnestly and seriously upon the
bright prospects Of republican success this
fall He knew Harrison would be elected Har-
r1stbn would be elected because he ought to be.
Harrison was true to the principles Of the re-
publican party; he was born in them and they
In hm. Harrison was q republican. and that
was the highest compliment that could be paid
any man. The republican party was probably
the best and the ablest party ever constituted;
1t had done more for the good Of the country
than was ever done by any other political or
ganiyation in any land or time. 1t was az
hrmatlve party; it carried its benefcent ideas
hber In it was for the country and all the coun-
try. No republican had ever fired upon the
| stars and stripes. If there ever was one who
did he ceased to be a republican when he pulled
the trigger, and he probably became a demo-
cfat Not man, woman or child in the repub-
hcan party but was in love with the country a
man was in love with his wife. 1t was an honest
party; whatever it did was for the good of all
1t was fair to all-rich and poor. black and
white. '.show me good republican" said the
Senstor, land will show you one who is in
love with his kind, eager to do for the hum
blest and poorest in the land as readily as for
the richest and noblest.
7 Il am In favor OF good money as well as other
good things" continued the Senator. Il want
the money that will buy most hog or hominy or
Whatever else we may need. We want no shin
piasters, no deprecated money, but money
which has full purchasing power"
Then the republican party favored the pro-
tecting OF men and women in their right to
labor. 1t believed in free trade, in what could
not be produced in this country, but it did not
believe in compelling Americans to compete
with the poorly paid laborers Of other lands.
The republican party for the American
laborer and would give him such protection as
he needed. He Congratulated those present
because they belonged to such a party. He
knew by their faces they were republicans.
Occasionally in state elections, republicans
would be in the minority, but the principles of
the party would live and grow and strengthen
until every democrat would be glad to declare
himself a republican.
PRESIDENT HARRISON ALI. RIGHT
President Harrison was all right. Personally,
perhaps, he (the SENATOR would have been in
favor of Mckinley, but there was time enough
ahead for him; the future would witness his
exaltation. He eulogized Mckinley most elo-
quently and declared him to be one Of the
greatest and best men in public life. 1t was
the best thing to nominate Benjamin Harrison
and the next thing to do would be to elect him.
1t made no difference whom the democrats
trotted out against him, he could and would
win.
The Senator said he was getting old now and
did not feel like working as he once did. He
wanted to take things easy and let the young
men exert themselves. "Let me- he said,
play the part Of nestor and talk to you in a
garrulOus sort Of a way; give you good advice,
which You do not always heed Let me wander
around like the old farmer and watch the young
men toll, but if can mend an old spoke or re-
pair broken wheel call upon John Sherman
he will do his best"
Applause frequently interrupted the Senator,
and when he concluded there was q tremendous
outburst.
SENATOR SANDERS OF MONTANA
Senator Wilbur F. Sanders, Of Montana was
the next speaker. He was stranger to the au-
dience, but he captured their hearts in two
