Thsre were those who were of the
opinion that the Second District Re-
publican convention would not be
we'll attended because of the fact that
it was largely ratification meeting,
the denomination of Hon. A. G. Day
ton being foregone conclusion, but
when the clans gathered at Morgan
town, Tuesday, it was found the as
semblage was not only large but very
enthusiastic. Representative men
were there from all portions of the dis
trict and every act was harmonious.
The convention assembled at the

Mr.. Meredith made a ringing and
patriotic speech upon taking the chair,
and predicted new era of prosperity
soon in store for the country.
Rev. S. f. Jones, of the NJ. E.
Church, then opened the Convention
with fervent prayer that breathed
the true spirit of religious patriotism.
The counties then selected their
members of the various committees.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Geo. c. Sturgiss was chosen perma-
nent chairman, and Mr. Ira Robinson,
of Taylor county, permanent secretary.
Mr.. Sturgiss delivered strong and
able address upon taking the chair.
w. M. o. Dawson, chairman of the
committee on resolutions, read the fol-
lowing, which were adopted:
THE PLATFORM ADOPTED.
The Republican party of the Second
Congressional District of West Vir-
ginia, in convention assembled, hearth

patriotic platform adopted by the Re-
publican National Convention at St.
Louis.
We pledge the nominees of that Con-
vention, Mckinley and Hobart, our
united, enthusiastic and untiring sup
port.
We are proud of the high position
taken by our Republican Senator, the
Hon. Stephen B. ~Elkins, in the Sen

ly of the patriotism and statesman
ship displayed in his bill for the re-
vival of American shipping, which
was adopted by the National Conven.

THE TIDAL WAVE OF PROTECTION.

Tune, "ROing On" An Adaptation.
Dedicated to the Republican Hurrah Boys" by
the author.
Columbia shouts from shore to shore,
The glad acclaim, the voice of yore-
The tide is rolling on.
Protectors wave sweeps to the sea,
Free trade is dead, hard times N. G.,
The tide is rolling on
Reftain- Rolling, rolling on,
Rolling on to the boundless sea.
Rolling, rolling on,
To Pros-per-i-ty.
While whistles scream and anvils ring,
Joy fills the home and children sing
The tide is rolling on.
The sun shines brighter day by day,
While Labor shouts, Hurra! Hurral
The tide is rolling on.
Refrain
MCKINLEY is our leader brave,
He'll bury Free Trade in its grave
The tide is rolling on.
Our money must the soundest be,
Our ships shall sail on every sea,
The tide is rolling on.
Refrain
Come, Old-Line Wings, come, boys in Gray,
You who followed Henry Clay
The tide is rolling on.
''Old Glory needs your courage rare,
To fling her out in Freedoms air,
The tide is rolling on.
Refrain
And when November winds shall blow,
And ballots fall like flakes OF snow
The tide is rolling on.
The Demopops we'll bury deep,
And let them take their last long sleep
The tide is rolling on.

We print the Republican platform
in clear, large type. Read it carefully
and then read it again. The merit OF
the platform is the truth it contains
and its freedom from obscure phrases.
All who will can understand every
word in it. And our candid, unbiased
opinion is that it contains remedy
for every i'll which aflicts the Nation
1t IS the duty of every citizen to favor
those measures which have been tried
and which have given prosperity to
all OF the people.
