MR., LITTLEFIELD'S SPEECH.

Mr.. Chairman and.gentlemen of the con-
vention:
l desire to tender to you, and through
YOU to the Republicans. 6of the Second
thanks for this Observation-Disclosures of
their consideration. l feel that the
nomination which l .have received at
your hands Is the free and untrammelled
expression of the will of the Republican
party. (Applause.) I gladly acknowl-
edge the warm personal friendship in the
canvass, of many of my fellow citizens
of the opposite political faith. shall be
further gratiied If they feel at liberty to
assist my friends at the polls. Absolutely
unincumbered by any pledge. promise or
| obligation. except the deep and profound
sense of obligation which l feel toward
the Republican party Of this district, l
shall, if elected. enter upon the discharge
| of the duties to the best Of ability,
without fear and without IICr. 1t is
hardly necessary or fitting Tor ile to say
more.
1t Ia written, "Let not him that grid
eth on his harness, boast himself. as he
that putteth it off. " The distinguished
man whose death caused the vacancy, to
fill which special election is to be held,
died at his post with the harness on. He
had no occasion to vauDt himself as to
his achievements as your representative.
His works do follow him. His diligent,
paiDstak1ng, CONSCIENTIOUS, aDle service,
rendered him and his constituency Illus
tlious He won this unalloyed confidence,
respect, admiration and love of our whole
people, without regard to sect. locality
or party. The unqualified success. which
every day develops, more completely, of
the great economic measure with which
his name will always be associated, will
prove the fitting monument to his endur
ing fame as a constructive statesman.
The marvellous era of prosperity upon
which we are now entering is the legiti
mate outcome of that portion of his life
American labor and industry found in
him one of its most consistent, loyal aud
effective defenders. (Applause.) The
great position which be achieved may

WELCOMED BY COLONEL RIDDLE.

President Mckinley met former COM
ra,les and members of the Grand Army
of the Republic at Memorial Hall Tues
day afternoon. The reception was an
nounced for u. m. but II was I 30 be-
fore the President. escorted by Francis
\. Riddle ana General Charles Fitz
SimOus. entered Memorial Hall. In
the interim Mr.. Mckinley was taken
into the directors room. where Mr..
Riddle welcomed him and presented
him to the members of Memorial Hall
Association. Colonel Riddle said:
lin behalf of the old soldiers of this
association and of this city give wei
come TO the distinguished and exalted
executive of our nation. Because of
your unfaltering manhood. because of
your grand leadership and noble efforts
for the pcrpetuation of our honor and
our flag. which Is known the world
over. YOU are loved by all good men.
These old soldiers greet you. for 1t Is
not improbable that you will he the
last one of that grand list of our COM
ra,lcs who have occupied the highest
gift In the hands of the nation. When.
In 1905. william Mckinley leaves the
White House II will be the last time
that we will have II comrndc there.
We. all alike defenders Of the old fag.
bid you to-day welcome"
President Mckinley appeared to be
very much affected by the remarks of
his old comrades and replied:
"Of the very many cordial receptions
which I have had IN the city of Chi.
cago none has touched me more than
this welcome from my old comrades
Of 1851. We are all getting Il little
older. but our hearts are Just rs warn

der the bond. Therefore II seems clear
that henceforth the corporation that
asks Il permit to tear up one of these
streets in effect asks the city to give up
a valuable guaranty. 1t IL assumed by
some that the city's exactlon of u ten
year bond has made the new pave.
meuts cos, more than they would 9th
erwise have cost. so that property
owners who paid for the pavement
would lose something that they paid to
get besides having their pavement ser-
ously damaged by the tearing up
process.
1t Is possible that corporations seek
ing to open the streets should be per-
mitted to do so. but certainly no per-
init should issue until the company to
which it is granted gives the city a per.
fectly good bond to take the place In
every respect of the bond which Its
street-opening operations vitiate. 1t is
difficult to see how the municipal gov
eminent can do less than this or how
the MISUNDERSTANDING corporation.
can expect anything else.

REPORT suns TANNER.

Governor John l.. Tanner pointed
with pride Monday to n report which
he had received from his lleutenants
In Pulaski County to the effect that he
and his administration had been III
dOrsed by the Republican party In
convention assembled at Mound City"
The Pulaski County gathering also
placed the stamp of party approval
on Secretary Of State Rose and Pres
ident Mckinley, indorslng them for an
other term. The Governor in his room
40 the Great Northern Hotel branded
rs false the published report that he
had decided to De a candidate for an
other term, or that there was anything
In his speech at Kankakee Saturday
which could be twisted into declara-
ton of that kind. The Governor said
in part:
"The people of Illinois have had n
change OF administration of their AT
fairs that has been satisfactory. When
the present administration began
thieves were In office, the public treas
ury was depleted and public work was
being done by men who had neither the
capacity for public business nor the
| ability to transact 1t. The credit Of rhe
State had been ruined, IT. was $50, OOO
In debt and was paying interest ON Dor
rowed funds. Since your humble sea-
want came into office the thieves have
been turned out, there Is now money In
the treasury, and the credit Of Illinois
| has been re-established."
