publican state conventions the name OF
her governor, Levi p. Morton.
We are building navy and the White
SQuandron is a foreT unner OF commerce
which is TO whiten every sea and carry
our flag into every pert OF the woi Id. Not
our wish. perhaps, nor our ambitions
probably, but our very progress and ex-
pansion have made us one Of the family
OF nations. We can no longer, without
the hazard Of unnecessary frictions with
other governments, conduct our foreign
policy except through the medium
OF skilled diplomacy. For four years
as minister 10 France, when criti-
cal questions of the import OF our products
into that country were imminent, Levi z.
Morton learned and practiced successful
ly the diplomacy which was best for the
prosperity Of his country. None OF the
mistakes which have discredited our rela-
lions with foreign nations during u he past
four years could occur under hiS'adminis-
tratiOns. He is the best type Of the
American business man-that type which
Is the ideal OF school, the academy and
the college, that type which the mother
presents TO her boy In the western cabin
and In the eastern tenement as she Is
marking out for him a career by which
he shall rise from his poor surroundings
to grasp the prizes which come through
American liberty and American opportu-
nifty. You see the picture
The best type of successful busine SIS
| man, he turns to politics, to be useful
| member of congress, to diplomacy, to be
| a successful minister abroad. 10 the exc
cutive and administrative branches of
government, to be the most popular vice
president and the presiding officer Of that
most august body, the senate OF the
United States.
With Levi P. Morton there would be
| nodeticlency o be met by the issue OF
| bonds, there would be no blight on onr
| credit which would call for the services
| Of q syndicate, there would be no trifilng
| with the delicate intricacies Of finance
/ and commerce which would paralyze the
| operations of trade and manufacture.
| Whoever may be nominated by this
convention will receive the cordial sup
port, the enthusiastic advocacy Of the re-
publicsns Of New York, but In the shift
ing conditions OF our commonwealth,
| Governor Morton can secure more than
the party strength, and without question
In the coming canvass, no matter what is
sues between now aud November, place
the empire state solidly In the republican
| column.

MORTON NOMINATED.

CONVENTION HALL, ST. LOUIS, June 10
-Chancey NJ. Depew obtained recogni.
ton by the speaker and nominated Levi
P. Morton, OF New York, as follows:
Mr.. Chairman aud Gentlemen Of the
Conven unconditional republican con-
ventions have been epoch makers. They
have formulated the principles, original
ed the policies and suggested the meas
ures, which, in the history of the United
States, form its most progressive periods.
No party, no matter however glorious
its achievements or how brilliant its sue
cess, can rely upon the past
The party which is to permanently gov
ern a country and is secure in its asst,
must not only be equal 10 the present, but
must forecast and provide for the future.
The republican party has triumphantly
met these conditions. The uneoualled
successes of the republican party, its hold
upon the country and its mastertul in
fluence upon affairs have been due to the
fact that In every crisis its principles
have solved the problems Of the
been the man for the occasion.
In a period when progress halted be ause
of the distrust OF commemorative and
their citizens Of each other the later and
better judgment OF the country expressed
iis Acknowledgement to the non partisan
ship and judicial fairness of Hayes and
Evarts. The youth who came to man
hood after the civil war and knew little
OF its sgonies or its animosities, found a
glorious example of American possibility
and achievement IN the canal driver, the
college president, the union general, the
illustrf0us dahatar In the hOusa Of

bards. For Allison you cannot build too
strong a platform for sound money, aud
he will see to IL that 1t will
prevail. He believes the American
dollar shall have some grains of
sense as we'll as more of silver. That
with such shifting policies there can be
no stability 10 our money. He believes
unlimited coinage means soon unlimited
bankruptcy.
The platform Of this convention must
be for sound money 10 unmistakable
terms.
Allison has TODD unwaveringly by the
Monroe doctrine though he did not meet
with clenched fist the proffered hand OF
international adjustment. He has insist
ed that the United States should recog-
nize any people struggling for liberty and
republican institutions even II they were
Insurgents In Cuba (applause)
/ ask you to nominate him. III you do
the White House will no longer be used
as an experiment station.
Nominate him and thrill OF Joy and
song will arise from the western reapers
TO be carried eastward to join the roar OF
your furnaces.
Every spindle will be turning, our corr
golden in autumn, granaries full and fiocks
numberless on the ranges.
May the spell OF republicanism have
greater power to move you than magic
words. In this hour Of history, prophecy
and destiny the grave gives up its mighty
dead, Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Blaine,
and with it's living advocates, martyred
Lincoln's spirit pleads with you TO see to
IL that These dead shall not have died
In vain -
