the ticket without the most vigorous
protest Of the anti -Platt faction in New
York state. Headed by Warner Miller
the leaders Of the latter are bending
their energies to prevent Morton's NOM
ination for vice president. The breach
in the New York delegation between
the Platt and Miller factions was inten-
sified during the day when the tele-
gram from Morton to Platt was re-
ceived signifying his acceptance Of the
vice presidential standard if he failed in
the presidential race.
Convention Called to Order.
It was II 30 when Chairman Garter
raped for order, but it was several
minutes before comparative quiet pre-
vailed. Rabbi Sale, stout young man
with jet black hair, pronounced the in
vocation with oratorical effect. Chair
man Carter then formally announced
that the convention met pursuant to
the call of the national committee,
which was read by Secretary Manley.
The first real demonstration of the
convention came when Chairman Car
ter introduced Hon. Charles A. Fair
banks of Indiana as the temporary pre-
siding officer. Mr.. William H. Suth-
erald of the New York delegation
seconded Mr.. Fairbanks nomination
and his selection was endorsed by the
unanimous voice of the delegates. As
Mr.. Fairbanks stepped forward to
deliver his speech he was loudly ap-
plauded. ... ..-.s.
Chairman Fairbanks' Address.
The address of the chairman was
mainly a review Of the situation and
was not designed to fire the imagination.
The telling points which Mr.. Fairbanks
made were, however, appreciated and
applauded. When he reached that por'
ton of his speech enunciating the Re-
publican doctrine of currency, his first
reference to the party's friendship fol
silver was marked by scattering ap'
plause over the Western and Middle
states delegations, which was increased
perceptibly by the acquisition Of the
emphatic applause Of the Eastern dele
gates when he added that the party
believed in the maintenance of the
present standard. Mr.. Fairbanks be-
gan by paying his respects to the pres
ent administration and eulogizing the
record of the Republican party. On tht
question of finance he said:
Must Have Money ON Hand.
The very foundation Of sound cur
rency system is solvent treasury. If tht
people doubt the integrity of the treasury
they will question the soundness Of tn,
currency. Recognizing this Fundamental
fact, the Republican party always pro
vided ample revenue for the treasury.
The Republican party has not been un
friendly to the proper use of silver. 1
has always favored and favors today th'
use Of silver as part of our circulating
medium. But it favors that use unde
such provisions and safeguards as shall
not imperil our present national standard
The policy of the Republican party is t.
retain both gold and silver as part Of ou
circulating medium, while the policy o
free coinage of silver leads to
Certain Silver Monometallism. z
We protest against lowering our stand
ard Of commercial honor. We stant
against the Democratic attempt to degrad
our currency to the low level Of Mexico
China, India and Japan. The presen
high standard of our currency, our labo
and our flag will be sacredly protected ant
preserved BY the Republican party.
There are many and important question
requiring the enlightened and patriot
Judgment of the Republican party.
