WhiteJaw Reid for Vice President
The evening session of the convention
was called to order by Chairman McKin-
ley, who announced that the order of
business was the presentation of candidates
for vice president of the United States.
The secretary called the roll of states and
there was silence until New York was
reached
Senator O'Connor was recognized by
the chair. He said: Il was designated
by the New York delegation to present
the name OF distinguished citizen of
New York for vice PRESIDENT. We wish to
assure you that in our opposition to the
succe ssful candidate there was nothing of
a personal nature and we fully
recognize the beauty of overy
republican bow in loyalty to the Judgment
OF this convention. We believe the state
of New York ought to be aided in the
great struggle we have to make in order
that the state be in the republican column
and | believe the gentleman whom | shall
name will aid us materially in accomplish
ing that purpose. therefore, in behalf
of the New York delegation, place in
nomination for vice president of the Uni
ted States, Hon. Whitelaw Reid" Zap
plause)
The nomination was seconded by Hon.
Horace Porter, of New York. He said,
The character and services of Whitelaw
Reid will give assurance that he will carry
out the policy of the party. He will stand
strong i'll the affections of his
fellow citizens and will com
mand the unqualified respect of
the people of the civilized globe. He is
today one of New York's favorite sons.
He is a legitimate and worthy successor to
that great creator Of modern journalism,
Horace Greedy. He has ser, ed as minister
from the oldest republic of the new world to
the newest republic of the cd world
He mas solved successfully the most COM
pllcated and intricate questions that have
arisen in The diplomacy between the two
countries. Throughout the various COM
plicated and diplomatic transactions
he retained the absolute coil-
fdence of his own government and secured
the respect of the French govern
ment to which be was accredited There
IS not a blot on his escutcheon. Give us
Reid, and his name and services will do
more than those of any other in ASST sting
In the campaign. Give US him and we
will give you :. victory i n November"
Gov. Buckley, of Connecticut, also
seconded the nomination.
The chairman then asked that the nom-
nation of Reid be made by reclamation.
The motion was seconded
]. S. Settle, of Tennessee, said in
obedience to the request Of the Tennessee,
he desired to make nomination. The
chairman recognized the gentleman from
Tennessee. Mr.. Settle said; Under
circumstances we who live in the
south don't have much to say in nominal
ing presidential candidates, or vice
presidents. We prefer rather to
let you gentlemen who live in the republi-
can states Of tie north make the nomina-
tons and let us do what we can to help
you elect them. But Tennessee today
feels that she has right to ask the con-
ventlon to nominate man for vice presi-
dent who, is as intensely American az
any American who breathes the air upon
The American continent, man who
demonstrated to the American people
his ability at all times and under all
to make Amer
can citizenship respected: man
who is able to and did stop
,he democratic party in the halls of
American congress from flibustering and |
who succeeded in giving a business
government; man who believes !
hat citizenship in Tennessee or
louisiana is entitled to the same
protection it has in New York or Connec-
lieut.. Tennessee, Mr.. Chairman, places
n nomination for vice president of the |
United States one of the greatest charac-
ers in American politics, Thomas B. Reed,
f Maine. (Applause.)
