sions Will be the law of republican az.
tlon, as they will be the assurance of re
puoilcan victory. We are for protect.
I've tariff and for reciprocity, We nro.
pose 10 take no backward step upon
either one of the great republican princi-
pies we stand for protective tariff
because 1t represents the American
nome, the American freside, the Ameri-
can family, the American girl and the
American boy and the highest possibii
ties OF American citizenship. We pro-
pose TO raise our money to pay public ex-
penses by taxing the products of other
nations, rather than by taxing the
products OF our own. The dem
ocratic party believes in direct
taxation; that is in taxing ourselves
We don't believe in that principle
SO long as we can find anybody else to
tax. Does anybody know what the tariff
reform means! (cries of ''no, no,'0 and
YET that IS to be platform of our politi-
cal opponents this year What does it
mean! You can study President Cleve

mat IS their symbol of lalif r,form
gentlemen of the convention, how do
you like 1t? This contest that you
enter upon is for the maintenance of
protection and reciprocity. But [
want to say here, that there is
not line Of the tariff bill
that is not American; there is not a pa-
ragraph in it that is not patriotic. We
are to declare ourselves upon other cues
tionS here to-day. We arc to declare
ourselves upon the question of a free bal
lot and fair count. No platform should
have been made by republican conven
ton that did not reiterate that great con
stitutional guarantee, We can we'll leave
to the committee on resolutions the duty
of making a platform that shall represent
the best thought, and the best ideas and
the best wishes of the republican party.
When we 90 out Of this convention upon
a true republican platform, we 90 out
marching to victory, no matter what
name we may carry on our banner

Flley, there was also applause. Malone
and several others were applauded.
Perry Carsons name was received
with laughter. The chairman an
nounced that the business was
the naming of candidates for the
Presidential nomination. There
was an excited buzz, and Senator Gull
lom jumped to his feet and asked that
the list OF States be read to name hon
orary vice-presdents. Mr.. Ingalls,
