spoke of the claims of his candidate. In
concluding he said:
Our present deplorable industrial and fnan-
cial conditions are largely due to the fact that
while we have n president and a cabinet of &C.
knowledged ability, none of them have had bus
mess training or experience. They are persua-
slye reasoner5 upon industrial questions, but
nave never practically solved Industrial prob
lens. They are the book farmers who raise
wheat ut the cost OF orchids and sell it at the
price of wheat. With Levi P. Morton there
would be no deficiency to be met by the issue
of bonds, there would be no blight upon our
credit which would call for the services of n
syndicate, there would be no trifiing with the
delicate intricacies of finance and commerce
which would paralyze the operations of trade
and manufacture. M
Whoever may be nominated by this conven-
ton will receive the cordial support, the en-
thusiastic advocacy of the Republicans of New
York, but in the shifting conditions of our COM
monwealth, Governor Morton can secure more
than the party strength, and without question
IN the coming canvass, no matter what issues
may arise between now and November, place
the Empire state solidly in the Republican
column.
On the conclusion of Mr.. Depew's re-
marks about the gold standard some one
shouted: what about the erring sister
who walked out of here a while ago."
Mr.. Depew-They lave deserted a Re-
publican convention composed of repre-
sentatives of the party from all sections of
the Union, and they walked out because
they objected to the gold standard. I
wonder how they will feel when they mr.
rive ut the gate of the celestial city, where
they will find that it is under a Republi-
can government. L wonder how they will
feel whom thnu find ac wv ~ fold INV tho
apostles, the streets are paved with gold.
NOMINATIONS FOK PRESIDENT.
1t was 3:O7 when Ohio was called by the
secretary. Governor Bushnell arose to an
nounce that Senator-elect Foraker would
speak for the Buckeye state. But the con-
ycntion would not be restrained. With n
wild roar the McKinleyites on the floor
rose to their feet, and the thousands in the
galleries went frantic with enthusiasm.
The members of the Ohio delegation un
folded small silk banners and swung them
about their heads, while all over the floor
waved the tall tri-colored plume of tho
American Napoleon. The plumes were
fixed at the enc of u staff several feet in
length. They had just been distributed.
Some of them were still in their cases as
the delegates waved them aloft. Several
tin horns were blown, and the din and
confusion were indescribable
Governor Bushnell, standing on q chair,
signalled and shouted for order, but he
could not make himself heard, and SEN
ator Foraker was pushed forward to the
platform. The appearance of the popular
II magnetic Foraker on the stand was
the signal for another Cutburst, which
subsidized as he motioned for order, and he
began:
Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen of the conven-
ton, it would be exceedingly difficult, if mot en-
tirely impossible, to exaggerate the disagree
able experiences of the last four years. The
grand aggregate of the multitudinous bad re-
suits of a Democratic national administration
may be summed up as one stupendous disaster.
1t has been a disaster, however, not without at
least one redeeming feature it has been fair
nobody has escaped it. 1t has fallen equally
alike upon all sections of our country and all
classes of our people, the Republican and the
Democrat, the rich and the poor, the big and
the low have suffered in common. Idleness and
its consequent poverty and distress have been
the rewards of labor distress and bankruptcy
have overtaken business, drunken values, have
dlsSipated fortunes, deficient revenues haveim-
poverished the government, brought about
bond issues, and bond syndicates have discour-
aged and scandalized the nation.
Over against this fearful penalty Is, however,
TO be set down one great compensatory result,
it has destroyed the Democratic party. The
proud columns which swept the country in tri-
umph in 1892 are broken and noiseless in 1896.
Their boosted principles when they came to
the test of n practical application have proven
nothing but fallacies, and their great leaders
have degenerated into warning chieftains of
petty and irreconcilable factions. Their boast
ed principles when put to the test of a proper
application have proven delusive fallacies.
Their approaching national convention is but
an approaching national nightmare. No man
pretends to be able to predict any good result
TO come from 1t, and no man is seeking nominal
ton of that convention.
The party that could stand up under the
od1um OF human slavery, opposition to the war
for the Acknowledgement, reconstruction and
specie resumption, at last finds itself over
matched and undone by itself. 1t Is writing
In the throes of dissolution, superinduced by a
dose of its own medicine. No human agency
can prevent its absolute overthrow at the next
election, except only this convention. If we
make no mistake the Democratic party will go
out of power on the fourth of March, to remain
out 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 meets the
demands and expectations of the American
people. 1t remains for us now as the last crown
ing of our work here to complete our work by
nominating a good candidate.
The people want a good Republican. They
want something more than O. wise patriotic
statesman; they want a man who embodies in
himself not only all of those essential qualifca- /
tions, but who, in addition, in the highest DOS |
sible degree typifes in a monetary character,
in record, in ambition, and in purpose, the ex-
act opposite of all that is signifed and repre- |
sented By the free trade, deficit making, bond
issuing, labor saving Democratic administra- |
ton. L stand here to present to this convention
such a man. His name is William Mckinley.
FORAKER NoMINATEs M'KINLEY.
Senator Foraker got no farther than the
name of the Ohio statesman. Even before
the last syllable had passed his lips, with
one great swell the delegates and occu-
pants of the galleries sprang to their feet |
and let out a yell that would lave driven |
out of the pastures the far famed bull of
Rasham.
The precise lime when this violent erup- |
ton occurred was 3:la p. M, as indicated
by the clock confronting the speakers
desk. Senator Foraker modestly stepped
back, and with his land raised seemed to
deprecate the simultaneous movement of
voices and action on the part of the people, |
and Chairman Thurston hit the desk four
OF five thumps with his gavel, but the howl
ing CROWD paid no more attention to him
and his gayel than If he were located in
some outlying member of the solar system.
The crowd had it all to themselves, and
they howled. The first movement was to
mount the seats, where they yelled a while.
Then they got down and did some more
yelling. A little experience of this kind
seemed to be enough, and they climbed up
on the seats again for another session Of
yelling from these elevated positions. As
II shot into the air from some concealed
battery, a thousand variegated plumes
flashed into the air, almost concealing the
thousands of American flags, handker-
chiefs and umbrellas that were being
wildly fourished by the enthusiastic
CROWD. State standards were uprooted
and carried up and down the aisles by
shrieking delegates.
A gigantic portrait of Governor McKin-
ley wa hoisted to a position in front Of
the gallery opposite the chairman's desk,
and as the picture caught the eyes of the
assemblage there was an immense swell
in the volume of sound which filled the
spacious hall. In an effort to bring about
a state Of quietness the band behind the
chairman struck up Marching Through :
