THE republicans of three states-Mary-
land, Kentucky and West Nirginia-once
included in the estate mortgaged to the de-
mOcracy the heritage of unhappy war
send greeting to the matchless eXemplars
of republican, SIN, Mckinley and Roosevelt,
with the assurance that republican solid
south has its nucleus in the states we
represent. Freed from the thralldom of
passion and prejudice, no one of the three
will ever again be a contributor of demo-
cratic votes to an electoral college. Two of
the three recorded in November last an en-
phatic verdict in favor of progress. liberty,
freedom of speech and the merican flag.

The Speeches.
Samuel r. Stratton, president of the
PENNSYLVANIA Republican Association, was
the first speaker. He entertained the audi
ence with a number of stories. pointed with
recent campaign incidents, which We're re-
cefved with much applause and laughter
Referring 70 the heavy majority cast for
Mckinley in the keystone state, he said he
hoped other commemorative would try to
emulate that example in future elections
He predicted the triumphant election OF Mr.
QUAY to the United States Senate, and this
was greeted with enthusiasm by the audi
ence.
Mr. John W. Langley. appointment clerk
of the census office, and a member of the
eloquent speech. Republican failure to car
nv Kentucky he declared. was due to an
UBIQUITOUS law that robbed the party of
victory justly won. There was a time. he
said when the blue grass state was sep
arated from the north, but the line of di-
vision was imaginary. 1t had faded until
even memory of it was vague. and now the
bonds of brotherhood held all together. He
paid high tribute to the Kentucky noun
taineers. They Were. he said, lovers OF lib
erty. who were jealous of their rights as
citizens and men, and would defend them
as such. MIR. Langley received close at
tenton and liberal applause.
Mr. Charles Burdette Hart of West Vir-
ginia, minister to Bogota, and an honorary
member of his state association, tod how
his state had been made permanently re-
publican. Its business men, he said, had
taken active part in the defeat of the most
dangerous assault ever made upon the
country's institutions and industries. He
inspired much applause by stating that
West Nirginias industrial development had
grown in just the same ratio her repub-
lican majoritieS.

teristic style. His remarks were replete
with bright stories and witty SallieS. He
