| canoe club for the work done for Majo
Mckinley He complimented the mem
bers and paid glowing tribute to tn
leadership of Mark Hanna. In refer
ring to Gov. Mckinley, he said:
mo great leader of the Republican
party of late years has such a hart,
call from the people. Why is 1t that tn,

American people believe in him."
Congressman r. w. Taylor, the sue
cessor of Mckinley, in referring to thu
Republican nominee said:
He Is surely Of the people; he wa.
made great by the people. He is and rep.
resents the antithesis Of everything
which the people abhor. Sprung from
the people. he knows the people; he has
always kept near the heart and intelli.
gence Of the people.
mckinley stands for McKinleyism
and Mckinley stands for prosperity. moi
as mere theory or conjecture but as
a verified and realized fact. We must
therefore succeed. The people have the
candidate of their choice. He represents
the principles SO dear to every Ameri-
can heart. He stands for America for
Americans"
Hon. James Herit spoke in part as

THE city Of st. Louis has been visited
py two cyclones lately. Both were ire
sistible in power and left behind them
lasting but different results. One was
born OF disorder, and the other was born
or an enlightened public opinion. One
was malevolent and the other mag
nihcent. One was terrible and the other
was grand. The first cyclone was tvpi-
cal Of Democracy, for the reason that n
demolished In moments the labor of
years; Tor the reason that death and
destruction We're ruthlessly wrought by
IT, and sorrow and pain were caused by
IT, The only difference that q thought
ful man can discover between the first
OF these cyclones and the Democracy
is rather in favor Of the cyclone. for it
confined its ravages to a comparatively
small region and exhausted its deadly
energy In a few hours.

REMINISCENT ELOQUENCE
Charles Emory Smith, after conerat-
ulating the people on the choice of the
presidential ticket, said:
THE rulers Of the republic have for the
most part sprung from the communities.
The Lincoln, the Grant, the Blaine. the
Harrison have met the highest demands
or the nation because they have grown
up with the flavor Of the soil and in close
touch with the plain people. To this
immortal roll of the peoples leaders.
MAJOR Mckinley comes by the right of
proper choice and appointment unsur-
passed In all our history. Fifty placed
upon the ticket with him Is Garret A.

and true, he is worthy Of the association.

"The Republican party has never
shown itself worthier of its high mission
than in its action at st. Louis; it has
never risen to loftier plane of principle
ana courage. Thirty-six years ago it
met In national convention to name the
first great Republican president, That
assemblage was memorable and noble
gathering. The venerable Josiah r.
Giddings, the lion-hearted champion OF
liberty, represented Ohio. William M.
Evarts, the brilliant lawyer, who after
wards added to his renown in the sem
ate and as secretary of state, led New
York. Horace Greeley, the greatest of
American editors, cheered it's councils.
Henry ]. Raymond, the accomplished
prince of journalists, was there. The
peerless George William Curtiss the
Chevalier Bayard of early freedom-loy
