1N/l&g Mr.. Waite then an
! nv nounced that the
W y ,,,,,,, M committee had Sc
lected T. C. Cheney of MorrisviIle as
temporary chairman. Mr.. Cheney in
taking the chair spoke as follows
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of til. Con
VentiOn -
1t would be waste of time for ne to
| dwell upon what this country has tassed
| through during the last three and O4a-half
! years. The bargain which our peoplemade
with the Democratic party in November,
1892, to run their national affairs has Proved
a bad one. 1t has been hard one for Vi, but
doubtless a good one for England ami her
| syndicate of bond buyers. In a word the
result of the Democratic ADMINISTRATIONS
! be summed up as stupendous dsasterwith
| only one redeeming feature; it has been per
| fectly fair no one has escaped. The R,pub-
| lican and Democrat, the rich and poorhave
all suffered in common.
A good Republican of NJ ontpelier uponpur-
chasing a ticket at reduced rates to Buhing-
ton the day of the Democratic State Con
vention, said that the only benefit he
had received at the hands of the present adj
ministration He was mistaken however,
for there is another benefit that is bestowed
upon us all to-day, the Democratic patty by
its three years of misrule and mism mage
ment has destroyed itself. Never again can
it marshal the forces it did in '92I Its
boosted principles upon fair trial have
proven only fallacies; being weighed In the
balance they are found wanting.
Time is slowly and surely carrying this adj
ministration to its close. No one regrets it,
not even the Democrats themselves. kThe
children of Israel could not have waited yith
more 1mpat1ence the parting of the RedfSea,
than do the voters the coming electiotAC1ay
| in November, which shall vouchsafe to Fem
the return of Republican control of thf ma
tons interests.
The first harbinger of assured success t1pon
that day was heralded to us but few days
since when the wires flashed across the CON
tinent the welcome news that that lovaI
American, that christian gentleman, ! hat
peerless advocate OF protection, William MIC
k1nley, had been chosen as our leader in the
coming conflict. The shouts which filed
that vast auditorium in st. Louis upon the
announcement of his nomination, have her
aided the death knel of free trade of scan
dalous bond issues, of treasury deficits, and
business depression, which have been the re-
! suit OF Dem oCratic misrule.
Once more Vermont has the privilege of
| firing the first gun in the campaign now on.
Let us accept this honor with the determine
| ton that in September the old Green NJ oun-
tain State shall do her duty full well and roll
upsan old time majority of 3O,O 600 or more.
AS we return from this convention to our
| homes, let it be with the slogan mckinley,
riotism, Protection, Sound Money, and
Reciprocity" and we may be confident that
on March 4, 1897, the prophet of Buzzard's
Bay" will depart from the White House, and
in his stead we will have a Republican Presi-
dent, rock-ribbed Republican principles and
return of prosperity and plenty to the people
such as we have never before known.
