the fact that 'sthe people are getting
on the right track, The Democratic
party had plunged The nation into debt.
but within the next two years RepuO-
lican president and a Republican con-
gress would pull It out with tariff for
protection The sentiment throughout
the United States was for sound money
and protective tariff, No nation could
survive unless its manufacturers were
successful, and the manufacturers OF
the United States were not successful,
because Of the free trade tendency of
the Democratic administration His
mention of the name of Mckinley eX-
cited loud applause.
The Apollo quartette sang campaign
song that made a hit, latter which Frank
f. Davis was introduced. Mr.. Davis
said Minnesota had caught the echo
fl ON the home of William Mckinley in
Ohio. Mckinley not only possessed a..
splendid personality, but he represented
a broad principle. The nightmare un-
der which the people were sleeping was
about to be lifted. The principle to
which Mckinley has lent his support
would not die as long as American
! patriotism lives. Cleveland, in 1892, led
the people from the upland Of light to
/ the depths Of darkness. The speaker
then referred to, the past history of the
Republican party and its emancipation
Of the slave, and he hoped it would yet
| be the instrumentality through which
! Cuba migt be made free and inde-
! pendent state.
Referring to the Venezuelan question
the speaker said the Monroe doctrine
was not q myth as long as English YES
sells of war could ride in English wa
| ters on the borders of the United
| States. When the Democratic party
took possession of the government in
! 1893 there was surplus in the treas
ury, but now it is gone.
where are those who took it?' ask
ed the speaker. Abroad. They are
across the water to sell bonds among
the Jews. They are peddling without
a license" Uaughter.)
The country must be relieved from
this situation by a return to protection
protection that puts the aristocrat
with his diamonds and the working
man in his oVeralls on an equality. In
closing, Mr.. Davis reminded his hear
ers that he had not come to make a
speech. ~
Tenney and Wolf next sang a duet,
and then Gen. e. A. McAlpin was in
troduced. Gen. McAlpin read a speech,
in the course of which he said that he
had been invited to attend the conven-
ton, and where duty called he always
went Consequently he was here. The
national league had made 40 mistake
i'm the-selection of M. j. Bowling as
secretary, for never before had there
been the same, aTnbunt of hard, sys-
tematic work The league was the
strong right arm of the Republican
party. 1t was this power that hao
WreSted from Democratic control the
state of New York, and now it is pro
posed to beard the lion in his den anG
carry the work forward in the sollC
South. The speaker had a glowing
tribute to pay to. John Goodnow anC
Tim Byrnes, of Minneapolis. In con
clusion he said that the wires on Nov
would carry the news of Republican
success In every state to the Eastern
metropolis. c4 te
Another song by the Apollo quartett
was followed by the Introduction of M
J. Bowling, who spent the first fifteel
minutes in telling the audience abou
the flowers he saw in Florida in Janu
ary, but just what this had to do will
Republican meeting he failed to ex
plain He finally got down far enough
into the spirit of the occasion to sa.
that Mckinley would be nominated a
ST. Louis, and from this he went on t
give some idea of the aims and object
of the league and the manner in whicl
it is organizing for the campaign. Th
way to win a campaign was to organic
in every township and educate the peo
pie in sound money, protection an
reciprocity. The work Of organiza ito
had been impeded by the agitation owe
the approaching national convention
; and the man who is to receive the nom1
nation, and it was not until Gen. Nc
Alpin reached down into his own pocke
and furnished Mr.. Bowling with tn
funds with which to go ahead that an
progress had been made. Thousands c
dollars had thus been furnished, an
the. speaker wanted to thank Gen. Nc
Alpin for his generosity"
= c. L. Smith was the next speaker
, Mr. Smith talked fifteen minutes witt
out giving expression to single ser
t tence worth recording, but he won moI
, applause than any Of the orators wh
preceded him. 1t may be we'll to stat
that Mr.. Smith is in favor of Mckinle
and protection, however.
After another collection of songs b
Tenney and Wolf, Bob Evans, of Mir
neapolis, was introduced. Mr.. Evan
said he was not going to make
4 speech. not because he could not do
but because it was not necessary. An
Republican could make a speech tn
