Senator Brown to the chair. Having
arrived at his station, Arthur unbur-
dened his pent up soul by delivering an
address, of which the following is an
intelligent Interpretation:
The senator thanked this convention
and informed it that it was there to
nominate a congressman, a Republican
congressman with emphasis on Re
publican) We want a man who will
not only represent the past, but who is
in touch with the present. He ought
TO be peer of Reed and Henderson,
the best man we have got We
ought to show the Democrats that we
mean business; that we mean to elect
our nominee. We want to fix a stigma
on the Democratic party, which has
run this country in debt millions of
dollars. We want man who favors
a cessation of bond issues. We want
a man who favors economy; one who
will vote against spending money. My
friends, we have before us a grave
issue; that is, the issue of protection
to American industry. We want a man
who will vote for changes in the tariff.
We want a man to say there shall be
an increased tariff on lead and wool.
CHEERS for wool) We want man
who is for protection, reciprocity and
bimetallism. tremendous cheering.)
We want to strike hands together
and go out and carry the state. From
Logan to St. George the people be-
lieve in these policies.
We may differ somewhat as to
methods, but not as to principles. But
on the issues l have mentioned let US
be a unit. Let US remember that the
Republican party must unite. Let us
nominate man who is brave enough
to unite all factions; one who will say,
I don't care for success so long as my
party triumphs.' Let US put forth a
true Republican, for that is our bust
ness here today
