UNREST.

These are busy old days in political lines;
The candidates scarcely kin eat;
They're so occupied .witchn' fur wicked
designs
An soundin' each person they meet.
They're strivin' an struggin' ter conquer
the dread
OF bein put by on the Shelf
Each throwin' brick at the other mans
head
An throwin' bouquets at hisself.
l somehow suspect thet they oft fail tor
gain
A reward wuth sech efforts ez these;
Thet even success doesn't quite reach the
plane
OF dignity mingled weth case.
But they stay IN at night when they
should be a-bed,
An squander their strength an their
pelf,
Each throwin' brick at the other mans
head
An THROWN bouquets at hissen.

ALLISON'S NOMINATION.
Speech Of John N. Baldwin Of C0un.
Gil Bluffs, Iowa.

Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen Of the Con-
vention:
There is one, but only one, of those
whose names will be presented to this con-
vention who can claim that there has
been placed for him in history's golden urn
an estimate of his character and worth
made by him on whom nature stamped
her royal seal; God exhibited as His great
est design Of American manhood, genius,
craftsmanship and patriotism; who, now
in heaven, wears crown OF deafness
praise and whose great soul is a portion Of
eternity itself, James G. Blaine.
Blaine writing to Garfield, said: Then
comes Allison. He is true, kind reason
able fair honest and good. He Is method
ical industrious and intelligent, and would
be splendid man to sail along with
smoothly and successfully"
Complying with the request of the Iowa
delegation, / rise to propose to this con-
vention the nomination OF him to whom
this heritage was bequeatheu-William Is.
Allison, and to ask you to make on the
Old and New Testament of Republicanism.
1t takes big man to represent the
state OF Iowa in the congress of the United
States for thirty-iive years, but Senator
Allison is that man.
With the most perfect knowledge of
their histories. with this statesmanlike
judgment which distinguishes the essen
tial from the accidental, and the immut-
able from the transitory. with every look
u cordial smile, every gesture a caress, "
yet with u spirit of firm mold and purpose
that no bribe or feast or palace could awe
or swerve. he has for thirty-nve years
| upon the floor of the house and senate
been fighting for the interests of the peO-
| pie; carrying onward and upward the ma
| tons legislative work; turning cranks
| out of place; unsimmering the culminat-
ing stars of Democracy; unmasking the
| hidden purposes of corrupt measures, un-
| til now he holds the place of ungrudged
| supremacy In the legislative halls Of that
most splendid of capitols.
That which this this country has lost, is
| that which 1t now seeks. Protection
| To get 1t the people have worked hard,
prayer fast, paid high and now let them
have 1t. at
Allison does not believe in tariff for
revenue only, but in tariff for protection
and revenue jointly. ....
He has always insisted that the protec-
tive system Is the mightiest instrument
for the development of our natural re-
sources and the strongest agency to pro-
| tect American wealth and American la
bor. Protection built the laborer his
| American home. and he never again Will

by English bsrds, for having chiseled

stone, he will at the next election defend
them at his front gate
The great and impartsnt issue Which Is

one of sound money, and we can no more
dodge It than we can gravitation.

ton Of our Industries, the soundness of
our currency, and the national credit are
all staked on the great issue to be decided
at the polls next November. Upon us rests
the duty Of rescuing the country from the
misery into which 1t has been plunged by
three years of Democratic misrule. To
drive the Democrats from power Is the
first step and the highest duty. but
We shall triumph in vain. and In our
turn shall meet heavy punishment at the
hands of the people II we do not put our
victory to right uses. Such crisis as this
cannot be met and dealt with by shouts
and enthusiasm. We must face 1t as our
fathers faced slavery and disunlon-with
grim determination to win the battle; and
that done, to take up our responsibilities
In the same spirit with which we won the
fight. Now, as then, We can hope to Sue
coed only by the most strenuous endeavor;
and now, as then, everything depends
upon the administration we place in office.
We want a president who will meet this
situation as Lincoln met that Of 1861; with
the chiefs Of the Republicans about him,
and with party and people at his back.
We want q president who on the fifth day
Of next March will summon congress in cx-
ira session and, refusing to make appoint
ments or to deal with patronage, will say
that all else must wait until congress sends
to him tariff which shall put money IN
the treasury and wages In the pockets OF
the American workingmen. We want q
president who will protect at all hazards
the gold reserve Of the treasury; who will
see to It that no obligation to the gov
ernment Is presented which Is not paid In
whatever coin the creditor chooses to de-
mand and which will never forget that the
nation which pays with honor, borrows
with ease. We want q man who will guard
the safety and dignity of the nation at
home and abroad and who will always and
constantly be firm In dealing with foreign
nations, instead Of suddenly varying a
long course OF weakness and Indifference
with convulsive spasm Of vigor and pa
triotism. Above all. we want man who
Will LEAD his party and act with It and who
Will not by senseless quarrel between the
white house and capitol reduce legislation
and execution alike to imbecility and fall
ure. Such 10 the man We want for our
great oEaes In these bitter times and

representatives Of the great Republican
party. Prosperity was I'm the land. Cap
ital was confident and labor employed.
There was the good days wage for the
good days work, and the spirit OF Amer
lean enterprise was stirring and bold. The
treasury was full. the public revenues
ample for the public need. We were at
peace with all the world and had placed
prudent hand on the key Of the Pacific.
Four short years have come and gone.
Look about you now. The treasury is
empty. Our credit is impaired. Our reve-
nues are deficient. We meet the public
needs not with income but by borrowing at
high rates and pledging the future for
the wants Of the present. Business %
paralyzed. Confidence has gone. Enter
prise has folded its eagle wings and mopes
and blinks in the market place. Our mills
are idle and our railroads crippled. Capt.
| tai hides itself and labor idly walks the
street. There is neither good days wage
nor q good days work. We have met
| with Sights abroad and have curious diff
ferences with other nations. The key to
the Pacific has slipped from nerveless
hands. Foreign troops have been landed
| in this hemisphere. Our own boundaries
| have been threatened in Alaska.
The Monroe doctrine has been defended
but is not yet vindicated. The people OF
neighbor island fighting for freedom
look toward us with imploring eyes and
look In vain. The American policy which
would protect our Industries at home and
our flag abroad has faded and withered
away.
Look. then, upon that picture and on
this"
could you on that fair mountain leave
to feed and fatten on this moor?"
| But four short years have come and
gone and they have brought this change.
| What has happened? I will tell you In a
word. The Democritic party has been in
power. That Is the answer Upon us falls
the heavy burden Of binding UP these
wounds and bringing relief to all this suf-
fering. The Democrats deceived the peo-
pie by promising them the millennium
and the miserable results Of these lying
promises are all about us today. We have
no promises to make. We pledge ourselves
| only to that which we believe We can
perform. We will do our best. That Is all
And as in 1869 we saved the Union and abol.
ished slavery. so In 1896 we will deal with
this Democratic legacy Of blunders
bankruptcy and misfortune.
We are gathered here to choose the next
president Of the United Staes That we
will win in the election no man doubts
but let US not deceive ourselves with the
pleasant fancy that the campaign Is to pe
an easy one. 1t will be q hard battle; 1,
