 When the committees were named Congressman Russell was called He stepped to the platform amid wild cheers from all parts of the auditorium. He said: T firmly believe that this convention will declare for the prin- ciples of protection for every American principle. (Applause) That it will settle many, If not all the evils which are now roofing before us. That it will make a declaration on the question of currency and finance. That it will say in such words that all may readily un- derstand them that it is opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. (Applause.) That there is but one standard of money, and that that one standard must be the standard of gold, and I further hope that 1t will express itself in favor of a strong, and I dare say, aggressive quarrel. It has always seemed to me that the United States has now reached point where it be- comes one of the great family of na- tions, and that it's influence upon all national affairs should be felt and ex- tended for the good of humanity and the prosperity of the world, believe it has assumed the responsibility whereby it would be good Americanism and good United Statesism if we should send word to Spain to stop that war which is now raging in Cuba. There is not a delegate in this convention who wants to see either riot or fistic encounter between recognized pugilists raging at his back door I believe I am exact in congratulating this convention on the success of the victory which it expects, and on the result of the election when we shall have returned to the good old properous times of the republican rule in this country
 FESSENDEN'S SPEECH.
 As Congressman Russell returned to his seat on the stage loud cries of "Fessenden, Fessenden, Fessenden." were heard in all parts of the great theater followed by thunderous ap- plause and wild shouts. Fiually MT Fessenden walked slowly down from the rear of the room, and as he stepped upon the stage an enthusiastic dele- gate in the rear of the hall shouted, Now Samuel, tell us something" Hon. Mr. Fessenden spoke as follows:
 q have been in a great many con ventions. I never before saw a better one than I see before me tonight. And as l look in your faces l see the cer- tainty of victory, and so certain am I of the result that if we trust to our selves shall hesitate to follow by dis tinguished friend who preceded me in heaping obligations upon the dead Loud applause). I suppose I feel the same way as the populist leader. who, at the issue of the last election was found beating a dead dog and when asked why in Gods name he was do- ing so said that it was to show the sucker there is some punishment after death. (Deafening applause).
 Seriously, gentlemen, let me call your attention for the moment to this phase of the situation. If the elections Of 1893, 1894 and 1895 have demonstrated any one thing beyond another 1t is that the democrats will join you to help on to victory for protection of home indus tries, and it depends on us whether we will have the democrats with us when we count the votes in November next I feel that we are about to accomplish a great and decisive victory and that they are about to help us to attain it. At the close of the administration of Benjamin Harrison (applause) an un- exampled state of prosperity in every branch of trade and industry, in agri- culture manufacturing and commerce, prevailed throughout the length and breadth of the country. And I SUD- pose that any intelligent man who has read the history of affairs in the United States knows that there never was 6 time when the wage-earner could ob- tain more luxury and comfort for his money than on that eventful day when the republican party went out of power Why it is that under such conditions there should have been a change I do not know That democracy could buy the votes of the people in so many con gressional districts is beyond the capa-
