THURSTON'S SPEECH.
Governor Mckinley: We are here to
perform the pleasant duty assigned to us
by the Republican national convention
recently assembled in st. Louis, that Of
formally notifying you of your nomina-
tion as the candidate of the Republican
party for president of the United States.
We respectfully request your accept
ance of this nomination and your an
proval Of the declaration OF principles
adopted by the convention. We assure
you that you are the unanimous choice
of a united party and your candidacy
will be Immediately accepted by the
country as an absolute guarantee of Re-
publican success.
Your nomination has been made in
obedience to popular demand whose
universally and spontaneity attest the
affection and confidence of the plain
people of the United States. BY COM
mon consent you are their champion.
This mighty uprising in your behalf en-
phasizes the sincerity of their conversion
to the cardinal principles Of protection
and reciprocity as best exemplified in
that splendid congressional act which
Justly bears your name. Under it this
nation advanced to the very culmina-
tfon of prosperity far surprising that of
all other people and all other times; a
prosperity shared in by all sections, all
interests and all classes; by capital and
labor; by producer and consumer; a
prosperity so happily in harmony with
the genius Of popular government that
It's choicest blessings were most widely
distributed among the lowliest toilers
and the humblest homes.
In 1892. your countrymen, unmindful
OF your solemn warning. returned that
party to power which reiterated it's ever
lasting opposition to a protective tariff
and demanded the repeal of the Nc
hiniey act They sowed the wind. They
reaped the whirlwind.
The sufferings and losses and disasters
to the American people from four years
OF Democratic tariff are vastly greater
than those which came to them from
four years of civil war. Out of II all one
great good remains. Those who scorned
your counsels speedily witnessed the full
fillment of your prophesies, and even as
