ROOSEVELT'S SPEECH.
When Mr.. Wolcott concluded Govern
or Roosevelt, in clear, firm voice,
said
Mr.. Chairman, l accept the honor
conferred upon me with the keenest and
the deepest appreciation of what it
means, and above all of the responsible
ity that goes with it. Everything that
it is in my power to do will be done to
secure the reelection of President Nc
kinley, tow hom 1t has been given in
this crisis of the national history to
which lie closest to the heart of every
American worthy of the name.
MORE THAN PARTY CONTEST.
This is very much more than mere
pdil SohtCots W. ol tuC PAL liHS
of the ways. and people have now to de-
eide whether they shall go forward
along the path of prosperity and high
honor abroad, or whether they will turn
their backs upon what has been done
during the past three years; whether
they will plunge this country into an
abyss of misery and disaster, or, what
is worse than even misery and disaster,
shame. feel that we have a right to
appeal not merely to Republicans, but
to all good citizens, no matter what
may have been their party affiliations
in the past, and ask them, on the
strength of the record that President
Mckinley has made during the past
three years, and on the strength Of the
threat implied in what was done at
Kansas City few days ago, to stand
shoulder to shoulder with us, perpetu-
ating the conditions under which we
have reached a degree Of prosperity
never before attained In the nations
history, and under which abroad we
put the American flag on level where
it never before in the history of the
country has Leen placed. For these rea-
sons feel we have right to look for
ward with confident expectation to
what the verdict of the people will be
next November, and l ask all men to
whom the we'll being Of the country and
he honor of the national name are dear
to stand with us as we fight for pros
perity at home and the honor of the
flag abroad"
A POSTSCRIPT.
Applause broke out as the governor
concluded, but he checked 1t instantly
by saying: Gentlemen, one moment,
please. Here Ned" he cried to Senator
Wolcott, this is not to the national
committee but want to say this to
my friends, friends Of my own state
who are here. Just let me say how 1
appreciate seeing so many of you here
to-day. I want to say l am more than
honored and pleased at having been
made the candidate for vice president
IN the national ticket, but you cannot
imagine how badly feel at leaving the
men with whom I worked for civic de-
cency, righteousness and honesty In
New York" This little postscript to the
formal speech was heartily applauded.
Refreshments were served, and a gem
.ral conversation followed.
