just pareelled out 81, $4,000 among
over sixty national banks, as govern
ment deposi tories. No interest is re-
quired, the only cOnditian being that
they shall deposit with the government
an equal amount Of bonds to secure
such deposits. This beats the national

WORDS OF WISE COUNSEL.
ROOseveIts Stirring Address-The
Speaker Given n Great Ovation.

AS Senator Davis named the speaker of
the evening the great crowd came to its
feet, and six minutes of cheers and ap-
plause swept the hall. When Roosevelt
finally was able TO make himself heard he
returned thanks for the reception that had
been rendered him here to-day. Especially
he thanked the Roosevelt Club for it's
choice of a name and uniform. He was
pleased with the honor, for it was a club
of young men, and young men stood for
much. He spoke then for decency and ef-
ficiency in public life. for courage in car
rying out what he believed He had no
for timid persons. Public officials
should be honest. brave. and have the saw
ing grace of common sense. These were
needed in public just as much as in
private life. He took pleasure and pride
in addressing such gathering. it stands
for just such honesty. courage and COM
mon sense. He then continues:
1--WE have come here to begin the work of
a campaign more vital TO American interests
than any that has taken place since the
close of the civil war. We appeal not only

ago the success of the Populstic Democ-
racy would have meant fearful misery, fear
full disaster at home; ii would have meant
the shame that IS worse even than misery
and disaster. To-day IL would mean all
this, and in addition the immea sura BILE

we have taken; of fiinching from the great
work we have begun. President Mckinley
has more than made good all that he prom

and al the smoke clears away we see how
utterly trivial are the matters because OF
which his administration has been criti-
cised. when compared with the immense
substantial gains for American honor and
interest which, under that administration
have been brought about. We appealed for
President Mckinley before, asserting what
he would do If President from our knowl-
edge of what he had done in lesser posi-
tioEs. Now we appeal for him. asking that
the promise OF a second term be Judged by
the performance of his first. and pledging
that the wonderful work so triumphantly
begun in his first term shall in his second
be carried to an even more triumphant con-
clusion.
I'VE ask support for President Mckinley
because of what he has actually done; OF
what he now stands for and typifies, and
because OF the marvellous work that has
been accomplished under his adnfnistra-
ton. We ask the support Of all upright
