When he reached the conclusion to the

was between the common people of this
country and the combined foe of two con-

Mr.. Watson's nomination was also Sec

Pence now OF New York, formerly a con-

the poison quickly and have it out, let me
say my purpose Is to give some reason,
or try to give some reason why we should
nominate Mr.. Arthur Sewall of Maine for
| Vice President" This announcement was
| received with considerable applause, fol-

tinued, our coolest judgment, Mr.. Me-
| Kinley is beaten sure. We are in a crisis

for reclamation, applause or noise. Do

| United States. But if we nominate either

we are in this dilemma. You speak of Mr..

this. Cunning around and pointing to the

You say that Mr.. Sewall is a banker?
| Confidentially, none of us are bankers,
but confidentially we would all like to be.

ME- Pence closed his speech with the

There are ninety and nine who live and

In want and hunger and cold,
| That one may live in luxury and lie
Wrapped in its silken fold.
