for the vindication Of its honor, when
It's minister and ambassador was be-
leaguered, the finest triumph of diplo-
macy of the nineteenth century was won

most picturesque campaign of history or
romance is successfully ended with the
american flag floating over the imperial
palace in Pekin.
Not only the United States, but every
civilized country of the globe is today
the generalship and di-
plomacy of Ws''iam M Kinley. There is
nothing which Col. Brysn can say in his
claim for the exclusive ownership of
things taught in the Declaration of In
dependence that has not been more
brilliantly said by the republican states
men But when Col. Bryan went to Ken
tucky at the time when, under the in
famous election law, the state was to be
stolen by his friends from the officers
who had been lawfully returned as
elected by the democratic returning
boards and gave his sanction and the
weight of his great authority as a demo-
crat to the thieves, where then was his
iGea of the consent Of the governed"
Mr. Depew closed with the statement
that the republican ticket in this state
would be much strengthened by the NOM
ination for Lieut. Governor of Timothy

who meets all the requirements of the
eEer-discussed question in the colleges
of the educated man in politics.
Mr.. Odell in ACCEPTING the nomination.
said in part:
important as the state issue are,
they are overshadowed by the greater
| matters involved in the national cam
paign. To my mind the paramount issue
is the reelection of Mckinley who has
| SO ably kept all pledges. Re-elect him and
| the policies already in force and to be
inaugurated will place him upon higher
plane than ever before and we shall en-
| joy the full fruition of our hope for gen.
eral prosperity. Every dollar of Obliga-
/ ton will continue to be worth one hum
! dred cents and wherever our flag floats
it will be respected because American
manhood has baptised it in blood.
