CHAIRMAN CHAMBERS SPEECH
On taking the chair Mr.. Chambers briefly |
addressed the convention, contrasting the |
principles represented by the republican |
and democratic national platforms in |
telling manner. The republican platform, |
he said. presented picture of political
prosperity, patriotism and peace The demo- |
cratic platform represented political per-

he did not think the American people could |
be fooled into walking into the trap set
for them by the Chicago convention.
The following report of the committee on
resolutions was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we heartily endorse the
national platform of the republican party
adopted at St. Louis and the state platform /
adopted at Des Moines, and pledge our ac-
1--WE, earnest and united efforts to secure
the election of Mckinley and Hobart and
the entire republican ticket.
Resolved That we welcome to the sup
port of our candidates all patriotic citizens
OF whatever shade of political opinion, who,
without sacrificing their convictions upon
questions about which we differ desire TO
aid in repelling the assault now made upon
our currency and in defeating the unholy
and unamercan policy claimed I'm the Chi
cago platform,
motion TO present the names of candl-
dates In thrCe-minute speeches and that the

Of naming candidates. John Linit moved a

courts. Tho motion was carried with unan-
Unity and Mr. Reed was renominated
William KinZel OF the Fifth ward pre-
sented the name of c. G. Saunders as the
