There Is principle dear totbe American
heart. IL Is the principle which moves
American spindies, starts It's industries,
and makes the wage-earners sought for
instead OF seeking employment. That
principle is embodied in Mckinley. His
personality explains the nomination today.
And his personality will carry into the
Presidential chair the aspirations OF the
voters OF America, OF the families of
America, OF the homes OF America, pro.
lection to American industry and America

Mr.. Hanna, from the body of the hall.
responded ia a few words which were
almost inaudiblc in the confusion, pledging
himself to take his place In the ranks and
work for the election of Mckinley. The
chair put the question: ''Shail the nomi-

TO NOMINATE VICE PRESIDENT.
When the applause that greeted this an
nouncement subsidized Senator Lodge moved
to proceed to the election OF Vice Presi-
dent and that the nominating speeches be
limited TO five miHutes. Not withstanding
many expressions OF dissent and cries TO
adjourn. this motion was declared carried
and at 500 p. IN, the convention having
now been in continuous session nearly
eight hours and q half, the roll OF States
was called for nominations for Vice Preei-
dent.
When Connecticut was reached Mr.. Fes-
sendsn took The stand and said:
Two acts have already been performed
by this great convention which should
receive the hearty and enthusiastic ap-
provai OF every loyal Republican OF the
United states. The first is the nomination
OF the soldier. patriot and great states
man Of Ohio. Gov. Mckinley, as our choice
for the Presidency. The second 10 the
adoption OF a platform which in unequivocai
terms pledges the Republican party OF
this nation to maintain an honest currency
aud the present gold standard.
I'VE have also made a declaration In
favor OF American industry. always so ably
chanpioned by the candidate We have
chosen. Now the people OF the state
represent were foremost in their conven-
tioa In expressing their belief in an honest
dollar and srgle standard, and that
standard gold. Connecticut Is vitality in
terest ed in this question. and thoug q classed
as q doubtful State, We believe we shall
carry her in November for the candidatesof
the Republican party.
