His speech was as follows:
Governor McKinley-We are here to
perform the pleasant duty Assigned MS
by the republican national conventivn,
recently assembled IN 81 Louis, that
Of formally notifying ycu Of your no,n-
ination as the caniida.e Of the rcIub.
lican party for president Of the United
States.
We respectfully request your accept
ance OF this nomination ana your ap-
proval Of the de ,laration Of principles
adopted by the convention.
We assure y)u that YOU are the
unanimous choice Of O uritss party,
| and ronAtHnnU mill ha
ately accepted 10y tlc country as an
absolute guaranty cf republican sue
cess.
Your nomination has been made In
obedience to ropullr demand. whose
universally and spJrtanei.y attest the
affection and coradencr of the plain
people Of the United States. BY ccm-
mon consent YOU dre their champion.
Their mighty uprising IN y,ur tahelf
emphasizes the sincerity of their con-
version to the cardinal printipiea Cf
protection and reciprocity as best ex-
emplified in that splendid congressional
act which ju'.ly beara yonr name. I'm
der t this nation advanced To the ,cIy
elimination Of prosperity far Sur
passing that of all "thar pe'iples and
all other times; prosperity shared in
by all ss:tirns, all interests, AMI all
classes: by capital and labor: by pro-
ducer and consumer; a prosperity so
happily In harmony with thu genus of
popular government that its choicest
blessings were most widely distributed
among the lowliest toilers and the
humblest homes.
In 1892, your countrymen, unmlndful
of your solemn warnings, returned that
party to power which reiterated It's
everlasting opposition to a protective
tariff and demanded the repeal of the
Mckinley act. They sowed the wind!
They reaped the whirlwind! The suf-
ferings and losses and disasters to the
American people from four years OF
democratic tariff, are vastly greater
than those which came to them from
four years Of civil war.
Out Of II all one great good remains
Those who scorned your counsels spes d.
lily witnessed the fulfllment Of your
prophesies, and even as the scourged
and repentant Israelites abjured their
stupid idols and resumed unquestion-
ing allegiance to Moses and to Moses
God. so now your countrymen, shamed
Of their errors. turn to YOU and to those
glorious principles for which you stand
In the full belief that your candidacy
and the republican platform mean that
the end OF the wilderness has come and
the promised land of American pros
perity Is again to them an insured in
heritance.
But your nomination means more
than the endorsement Of a protective
tariff, of reciprocity. Of sound money
and Of honest finance. for all OF which
you have so steadfastly stood II
means an endorsement of your heroic
youth; your fruitful years Of arduous
public service: your sterling patriot
ism: your stalwart Americanism: your
Christian character. and the purity,
fidelity and simplicity Of your private
life. In all these things you are the
typical leader Of the people. God gives
you strength to so bear the honors and
meet the duties of that great Office for
which you are now nominated and to
which you will be elected. that your
administration will enhance the dignity
and power and glory Of this republic,
and secure the safety. welfare and hap
piness of its llberty-loving people
