here from New York, representing that
state as a member of the committee to
notify him of his nomination, and l say
to you that he is as dear to the hearts
of the people of New York as to your

of contradiction, that he is as much ap-
proved by the republicans of the state of
/ New York and by their judgment, and
by one-half of the democratic party of
the state of New York, as he is by you

II am not the author of the wilson bill
| The republicans of my section have been
deeply interested in the subject of silver,

of any section. (Applause) They recog-
nize the fact that the republican party
stands for other things than the money
| question. With all other great questions
! and with a candidate who is not only an
exponent of the platform upon which he
| stands, but is the living embodiment of
! republican progress and patriotism,
