It is enthusiasm that gives life and
variety TO all political bodies The Re-
publican party Of the county oerati4lly
demonstrated that II was not dead Il

was a split IN which some OF the DEE
gates walked out Of the convention, but
Republicans are wise and time VIII
right all things They did not split on
any overshaGCwing issue of party poll
tics. Their split was over a minor af-
fair, the conduct of the primaries, and
their relation to the nomination of a
candidate for one Office. Both sides are
unanimous for az but one man on the
ticket

PROFESSOR CARsON's SPEECH.
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow Republi-
cans: I thank you for the honor con-
ferred upon me, in the selection of your
temporary chairman. Believe me, to ac-
cept II. as compliment, 10 preside tenn
porarily over the deliberations OF that
party in whose council has given trend
to that progress Of this nation which
stands without a parallel in the nnals
of the human race
The eXigencieS OF the times dema nd

can party; because the party has solv-
ed successfully every great political
problem in the last third OF a century
VIII solve successfully the money prob
lem- and the party that has made a
political blunder Of every great question
IN the last third of a century will make
political blunder OF the financial uues-
ton. No fixed law in science is better
established than that by inductiye
reasoning. Every great question that
has reached the statute books Of the
United States in the last third OF CEN
fury has reac lied IL by way of the Re-
publican party and across the PROSTATE
form OF the Democratic party. Every
great question was it said? Every
great question save one and that was
the last tariff law. which was so rotten.
a Democratic president would attach
his name 10 il. Is there anybody, any,
where, who wishes the money problem
70 be settled n any such way as that?
Let the money problem be settled in
such a way. that II will be an
honor for some man, to sign his
name 10 Ii as president OF the
United States. And that name is
going to be the name Of Major
William Mckinley OF Ohio. Never do
you doubt

This country IS TO be congratula ted
