AT this point pandemonium was let loose
and the convention gave up to unrestrain-

PRESENTATION or ALLISON.
Speech of j. N. Baldwin in NOmi-
Mating IOva's FavOrite.

St. Louis, June 1S.-The chairman then
directed the call of states for nomina-
tons for the presidency. The first to re-
spond was Iowa, when w. NJ. Baldwin of
Council Bluffs came to the platform and
nominated w. B. Allison of Iowa, in the
following words, in part:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: There is one, but only one,
of those whose names will be presented
to this convention who can claim that
there has been placed for him in history's
golden urn an estimate of his character
and worth made by him on whom nature
stamped her royal seal; God exhibited as
his greatest design of American manhood.
genius craftsmanship and patriotism;
who, now in heaven, wears a crown of
deathless praise, and whose great soul
is portion of eternity itself, James G.
Blaine.
Then comes Allison. He is true kind
reasonable, fair honest and good He is
methodical, industrious and intelligent
and would be a splendid man to sail along
with smoothly and successfully"
Complying with the request of the
Iowa delegation, l rise to propose to this
convention the nomination of him to

make it on the old and new testament of
repUblicanism.
1T takes a big man to represent the
state of Iowa in the congress of the Uni
ted States for thirty-five years, but Sen
ator Allison IS hat man.
ALLISON does not believe in a tariff for
revenue only, but in a tariff for protec-
ton and revenue jointly
He has always insisted that the pro-
tective system is the mightest instru-
ment for the development of our natural
resources and the strongest agency to
protect American wealth and American
labor. Protection built the laborer his
American home and he never again will
welcome therein democratic sirens sing
ing free trade songs written and composed
by English bards, for having chlseled the
principles of protection in the hearth
stone he will at the next election defend
them at his front gate.
THE great and important issue which Is
just now coming around the corner is the
one of sound money and we can no more
dodge i than We can gravitation.
simple, but certainly serious A decision
upon this important question must be
made by this convention, and, remember,
gentlemen, a nation listens to catch the
click of it's fate.
For Senator Allison you cannot build
toe, strong a platform for sound money,
and If you place him upon 1t he will see
to it that the dry rot of 16 to does not
steal through his staunch timbers.
The United States can no more make
of sovereignty or mark of authority on
any kind of metal, regardless of It's com
mercial value or relations to foreign colol-
tries, than it can extend its domain by
calling furlong mile;
Il ask YOU to nominate Allison. If you
do, the people from the sand enshrouded
Mexican line to the live wire that sepa-
rates us from on unborn daughter on the
north will shout as in one glorious, glad
anthem The old temple of republicanism
still stands. Flock to it for shelter If
you do, every keynote of the campaign
Will be kept at concert pitch. If you do,
the white house will be used no longer as
an experiment station.
Nominate him and not now perhaps,
but when the strife is over his name
will fall like millennial music on your
ears.
Nominate him, and a thrill of joy will
go from the west to the east, carrying
on its trembling way the songs of our
reapers, only to be lost in the roar of
your furnaces.
Nominate him, and when our corn
grown gold in autumns time, our flocks
teeming and our oranges full, every spin
die will be turning day and night upon
tho Merrimac.
IF you do this light will break upon
our darkened land, and instantly long
suffering people VIII hear the surges of
returning prosperity.
May the spell of republicanism have
greater power to move you than the spell
of magic words. In this hour or anxious
expectancy; in this hour, pregnant with
history, prophecy and destiny, the grave
gives up its mighty dead, and they are
here-Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Blaine,
yea all the illustriOus dead of the re-
publican party; and mingling with its
living advocates, martyred Lincoln's
spirit pleads with you to see to it that
/ these dead shall not have died in vain ,"
The speech elected very little enthusi-
asm although it was applauded at some
points.
