\ i :
st. Paul last Thursday was amodel one.
1t was harmonious; it was enthusiastic;
it was in every sense Republican. Sen.
Davis presided and when called upon for
a speech he gave to the convention a
mastery effort. His words are in sub
stance as follows:
There is "a swelling tide of sentiment
and conviction rising throughout the land
which infallibly presages the waiting of
the great old party to victory at then
election. Cheers. Ever since that
campaign of panic and disaster of two
years ago, of misunderstanding and mis-
apprehension, wherever public opinion
has had chance to express itself, the ac-
tions and the record of the Republican
party have received full vindication.
Cheers. In the State of Ohio William
Mckinley Cloud applause), whose name
is nj effacably inscribed upon the bill that
was made the test of the last election,
with the leading features, and, indeed,
all of the features of that measure direct
ly at issue, was elected by most tri-
umphant majority. Cheers. At the
same time the faithful adherence of the
Republican party to the honest dollar of
100 cents was also an issue cheers and
under the true guidance of glorious John
Sherman that issue, SO far as that party
is concerned, is settled. Cheers In
the elections in the State of New York
held last spring the Republican gains
were such as to inspire the greatest hopes
in our friends and to carry terror to the
hearts of our enemies. In the strong

hosts were overthrown the other day,
and here in ST. Paul Fuproarious APP
plause the day before yesterday for the
first time in twenty years the Republi-
can party, aided by the element of good
order and good citizenship, arose in its
might and shook off the incubus whicfs
has rested upon our prosperity for
quarter of a century. Cheers. And
the electric thrill of this victory has
gone through the State of Minnesota; it
has inspired new hope; it will incite
fresh endeavor. The Fifty-frst congress
was the first time with one exception
that the Republican party had been in
possession of all the departments of this
government for many years. There has
either been Democratic senate or a
Democratic house or the four years. cal
amity of a Democratic president cheers
so that strive as it might to redeem the
enormous debt, to which the Republican
party was pledged to the public, moth
ing could be done. How well the Re-
publican party, under the present adj
ministration, has redeemed the pledge is
a matter of history. The Republican
party has stifled the corrupt repression
of parliamentary procedure under the
athletic and muscular ruling of Thomas

And so measure after measure with
