ST LOUIS, June 1S.-With full house

sit, and but few vacant spaces in the gal
leries, the national Republican conven.
ton began it second days proceedings at
1O:40 a. IN. Dr.William o. Williams, pastor
of the Union Methodist church of ST..
Louis, invoked the divine blessing. At
the close of the prayer Lodge announced
that the platform report would not be
ready until afternoon. The credentials
committee also was not ready to report,
but the organization and rules committees
were. 1t was decided to hear and adopt
the organization committees report.
There was a short debate on the question
of receiving the report but those opposed
were finally silenced and the report was
read. 1t nominated Senator Thurston for
permanent president and recommended
the retention of the temporary secretaries,
etc., as permanent. 1t was adopted with
shout and Thurston was escorted to the
platform.

On the conclusion of his address he
said: Gentlemen of the convention what
is your pieasure?" The pleasure of the
convention was expressed by the whole
body rising and with the waving of flags,
hats and handkerchiefs, presenting to
their chairman % magnificent floral shield
surmounted by crown of American
beauty roses. When the broad and beauti-
full field of the shield confronted the house
from it's position at the front of the plat
form the galleries joined the convention in
a great roar which continued until with
persistent effort the permanent chairman
drove it out of the hall with his gavel.

The convention was then at the end of

pIcN1FrED CAMPAIGNING.

Speaking of the numerous visitors to
Canton and the great amount of trav-
cling that Mr.. Bryan has done while
campaigning, <he Philadelphia Times
says:
"Of the two plans Of campaign Nc
Kinley's is certainly the more dignified
and each is significant of the attitude
of the candidate and of the public at
titude towards him. Mckinley will be
elected by no effort of his own, but
rather by a spontaneous popular move
ment, while Bryan goes around stir
ring up noise and touting for votes,
only to fail in the end"
Is McKinley's plan of campaign
really more dignified than Bryan's?
That a great number go to Canton out
of admiration for the Republican can
didate, is no doubt the case; that the
great majority of his visitors have gone
in accordance with Mr. Hanna's pre-
arranged plan of campaign, there is no
question. No person with ordinary
common sense believes for a single
moment that the delegations of work.
ingmen Of the various crafts who have
gone to Canton have gone of their own
motion. These pilgrimages are as de-
liberately pre-arranged by the ''bosses,
as are torchlight professions. Their OBJ
ject is TO keep the Republican can
didate before the public and afford him
frequent opportunities to express his
political thoughts, that they may be
telegraphed over the country by the
press associations and appear in the
papers. There is nothing in the least
improper in all this; it is legitimate
campaigning. but McKinley's "at
homes" lose all their wonderful dig
nifty when all the facts are known, and
the people know them all. 1t is simply
Mr. Hanna's way Of conducting Major
McKinley's campaign, so far as he is
personally concerned; there is nothing
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-09-27

particularly dignifed or undignifed
about it.
Mr.. Bryan's campaign is conducted
very differently. He is going among
the people and addressing them upon
the great issues upon which they are
to vote in November Wherein is it
more undignified for Mr. Bryan to
address the people in their homes than
it would be for him to address them
in his home? It has never been
charged that he himself is undignified
Is 1t undignified for an American
citizen who is a candidate for an of
fee, no matter how high it may be, to
go among the American people and
discuss the issues of the day? To say
that it is, is to imply that when a citi-
zen becomes a presidential candidate
the people should pay homage to him.
The idea is un-American.
1t is simply false notion which de-
clares that it is dignified for Mr. Nc
Kinley, as a presidential candidate, to
remain at home during the campaign,
but that it is undignified for Mr.. Bry-
an, as a presidential candidate, to go
to the homes Of the American people
and address them. A dignified man is
dignified everywhere; and as the coat
does not make the man, neither does
sedentarinesS make dignity.

FORCED CAMPAIGN EXTRACTS.

Nothing could be more contenp4 ibla

statements and arguments on a poliei-

THE OGDEN CONVENTION.

The Republicans have held their con-
vention and named a congressional
candidate. Permanent harmony be-
tween the McKinleyites and the Silver
Republicans has not been established.
The candidate is Mayor Holbrook, OF
Provo, who is also the nominee of the
Silver Republicans. He was nominated
over Mr. John e. Booth by a majority
Of six votes. Mr.. Booth, who is an
out-and-out McKinleyite, bolted the
nomination. as did Mr.. Lindsay Rogers,
the Republican national committeeman
for Utah. In all probability this means
that many others will follow where
they have led.
This Ogden convention shows how alb
surd it is for Silver Republicans and
McKinleyites to attempt to harmonic.
1t cannot be done, because they are
opposed to each other on the one para
mount issue of the campaign That
they do not realize their inconsistency
and bow to the inevitable, is a very
strange matter. Why do they waste
time and energy in trying to reconcile
the irreconcilable?
Mr.. Holbrook is an eminently respect
able man, but his experience ant abil-
tiles are not such as to fit him for Eon-
gressional duties. To the McKinleyites
he will be wholly unacceptable.
