turning with Mr.. Caprou, who was re-

tion by the chairman, Mr.. Capron spoke
substantially as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen Of the
Convention: In addressing an assem-
blage of this kind IL is not easy for one to
know where TO begin, from the fact that
he is not talking to men to whom he
could tell anything in regard to the issues
of the campaign. Therefore, whatever /
may say will only be wnat any one of YOU
Nat nj fi.ar II lI,-
here to tell you anything. but to encour-
age you in the work before you, which
you understand as well as / do But |
am glad TO meet yeu here to-day because
we arc working together shoulder TO
houlder for the same end, for there is no
dissenSion in our ranks We fiud our
selves to-day already in line, with our
nominations nearly all made, aud with a
State ticket with which we may we'll feel
satisfied, headed by nominee for Gov
ernor who possesses all the elements that
the Republican party desires in u man
socially and morally. i have never heard
one word said against him that could not
be said about the best man in the city or
the State.
d. Russell Brown is all you desire in
candidate, and when you get man who
stands as cleanly and pure in business as
lie does, il is an element which stands, or
party. Tbe other candidates on the ticket
are all men whom You have tried and not
found wanting: every one, from the can
ddate for lieutenant governor. the strong
est man in Newport county, down to the
last man on the ticket. l know that we
will have no use for Democrats in this
campaign. There is not city or n town
in the State that has not Republican
majority, ms proved by the check lists Mt
the last municipal and State elections.
There is but one trouble with the Re
publicans, and that is the apathy and in
difference we show in political affairs.
This is born Of the fact that for q long
time Republican success was assured.
Discussions have arisen from time 10 time,
but this Is time when every Republican
is seeing that he cannot stand out TO have
his own way. Don't worry about the
Democrats: but sec TO IL that the machin-
cry is so carefully oiled mot the Demo
cratic way Of oiliug), that there does not a
name remain on the check list but that
some man is to look up. See TO !, that the
men vote early in the day, so that by
noon we shall surely know the few that
have not voted, aud can send for them If
they are not able 10 come themselves This
