The Chanute times., 1897-01-15

Senator Vest, after the caucus had
nominated him, addressed the legis-
lators. He said in part:
ITO adequately express my thanks
to you, my friends, would bankrupt
my command of language. l am not
vain enough to suppose this is Il per-
sonal tribute. 1t is a recognition of
the great principles for which we are
fighting.
There has never been, in the his
tory of the country, crisis more en-
phatic than the one now. Not even
during the civil war was there a
greater tension and strain on the spir-
it's, of our institutions. All the bur-
dens and the benefits OF our country
must be equally distributed. There
should be no class legislation, where
the few are enriched at the expense Of
many.
There is to-day most sublime OPP
portunity to make an adaptation of
this great truth. Within our shores
there is strife for seh-govcrnment.
We are told now, under Democratic
admins tration, so-called (applause),
that the people of Cuba shall not be
declared free, because they have fight
ing bands, not dignified by the name
of armies. If France had acted in that
way, we to-day would be a British
province and l would be a subject of a
queen. Are we to forget the people of
Cuba, who are initiating us? For my
self, propose to give all the influence
can command for the recognition of
Cuba " (Applause).
Senator Vest then spoke at some
length upon the money question, while
the free silver enthusiasts shouted
their approval. He foretold double
standard victory in 1900.
Il stand tonight for the last time, "
he said, receiving an office at the
hands of my countrymen. l realize
that the time will soon come when we
older ones will have TO stand aside for
younger blood. In this hall, sur
rounded by the memory of dead
friends, l can tell nothing but the
truth. When l have discharged all
the duties that the present legislature
has placed upon me, l shall have done
my duty. | know of no assurance for
the future but to point to my career in
the past. When the shadows have
gathered, my prayer is that my last
lingering glance shall be upon coun-
try great. united, eternal in it's free
institutions, and, in the great galaxy,
the star that shines most brightly is
our great Missouri" (Applause)
The caucus adjourned at 1920 p. IN.
