At the mention of Morton's name the
New York delegation rose, practically
alone on the floor, and gave three
cheers, which were reinforced from the
galleries. Depew said under no cir
cuTnstances would Morton take second
place. unless he could get it unani-
mously and it came to him unani-
mously.
THEN BEDLAM REIGNED.
At 1907, when Ohio was called by
the secretary and Governor Bushnell
arose to announce that Senator-elect
Foraker would speak Foraker mount
ed the platform amid deafening ap-
plause, and spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Conventional would be difficult, if
not entirely impossible to exaggerate
the disagreeable experience of the four
years of that grand aggregation of
multitudinous bad results-the Demo-
cratic administration. Ii may be
summed up as stupendous disaster; it
has been disaster, however, not with
out a redeening feature-nobody has
escaped it. 0aughter.) 1t has fallen
equally alike upon all sections of our
country and all classes of our people
just ard unjust; Republicans and DEM
ocrats; rich and poor, high and low,
have suffered. Idieness and its conse-
quent poverty and distress, has been
the reward of labor; shrunken values
have dissipated fortunes; deficient rev.
enues have impoverished the govern
ment, brought about bond issues and
bond syndicates; have discouraged and
scandalized the nation. Over against
this fearful penalty is, however, the
possibility TO set down one compensa-
tory result: 1t has dissipated the
party.
The proud columns which swept the
country in 1892. are broken and hope
less in 1896. Their boosted principles,
when they camia to the test of a prac-
teal application, have proved nothing
but fallacies, and their great leaders
have degenerated into warning chief
tains of petty and irreconcilable fac
tons. Their approaching national con-
vention is but an approaching national
nightmare. No man pretends to be
able to predict any good result can
come from it and no man is seeking
the nomination of that convention, ex-
cept only a limited few who have ad
vertised their unfitness for any kind of
trust by proclaiming their Willingness
that may be adopted. (Applause.) The
truth is, the party that could stand
up under the odium of human slavery
in opposition to the war for the preser-
walton of the union, acknowledgements,
reconstruction and specie resumption,
at last finds itself undone by itself.
IT'S writing in the throes and agonies
of final dissolution. superinduced by
a desc of its own medicine. (Applause.)
No human agency can prevent its alb
solute overthrow at the next election
> except only the convention. If we
make no mistake, the Democratic party
will go out of power on March 4. 1897,
to remain out of power until God in
his wisdom and mercy and goodness
shall see fit once more to chastise his
| people. So far we have not made any
mistake. We have adopted a platform,
which, Notwithstanding the scenes wit
messed in this hall this morning, meets
| the demands and expectations of the
people. (Cheers.)
It remains for US now, as the last
browning act of our work here, to
again meet that same expectation in
the nomination of our candidate. You
all do know they want in their candi-
date something more than a good bust
| ness man; they want something more
than a Republican; they want him to
be more than a wise statesman: they
/ want a man who enlbodies in himself
not only all these essential qualifica-
| tons but who. in addition. in the
| highest possible degree, typifiies in
name, in character, in record, in am
! bition, and in purpose the exact oppo-
site of all that is signified and repre-
] scented by this free trade. deficit-mak-

William Mckinley.
THURSToN SECONDS IT.
AT the conclusion of Senator For
! alSer's remarks, Chairman Hepburn
recognized Senator Thurston, who was
/ greeted with applause, and spoke as
follows.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
convention-This is the year OF the
people They are conscious of their
power; they are tenacious of their
rights; they are supreme in this con-
vention; they are certain of victory
now and in November
They have framed the issue of this
campaign. What is it? Money? Yes,
money. Not that which is coined for
! the mine owner at the mint. or clip
ped by the coupon cutters from the
bond but that which is created by
American muscle on the farms and in
the factories. The western mountains
clamor for silver and the eastern shore
: cries for gold, but the millions ask for
work-an opportunity to labor and
! liva-
The prosperity of nation is in the
employment of its people. and thank
God the electors of the United States
know this great economic truth at last.
The Republican party does not stand
for Nevada nor New York alone, but
for both; not for one state, but for
all. Its platform is as broad as che
land. as national as the flag. Repub-
licans are definitely
COMMITTED TO SOUND MONEY,
but they believe that in government
of the people the welfare of man is
paramount TO the interests Of money.
/ Their shibboleth for this campaign is
protection" From the vantage ground
! of their own selection they cannot
be stampeded by Wall street panics or
free coinage cyclones. Reports of in
transitional complications and rumors
of war pass them lightly by; they
know that the real enemy of American
prosperity is free trade, and the best
coast defense is a protective tariff.
They do not fear the warlike prepare
lions of Europe, but they do fear its
cheap manufacturers. Their real dan
ger is not from foreign navies carry
ing guns. but from foreign fleets bring
ing goods.
This is the year of the people. They
I lave risen in their might From ocean
\ to ocean, from lake TO gulf, they are
united as never before We know their
wishes and are here to register their
will. They
