CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Prominent men from
all parts of the country gathered around
the tables in the banquet hall of the Audi
torium Hotel tonight to attend the feast
given by the Hamilton Club. of this city,
in their honor. The Hamilton Club is a
Republican organization, and its banquet
was, after the menu, a banquet with poll
tics the chief thing under discussion.
President Fred A., Bangs, of the club,
acted as POSTMASTER and with him at the
head table sat Col. d. B. Henderson,
speaker of the House of Representatives;
Senator Cushman X. Davis. of Minnesota;
Senator Dolliver, of Iowa: Charles G.

Walter Warder, acting Governor of Illinois;
Lieutenant General Miles, Major General
Louis Wagner, Gen. Daniel f. Sickles.
Judge Lea Rassieur and others.
President Bangs opened the speechmaking
with a short address, at the end of which
he introduced Speaker Henderson, who
spoke briefly. The address of Speaker Hen
derson was most happily received. He said:
"Just before taking the train night be-
fore last to come to Chicago TO have an all
around good time with my comrades OF
the IrdnO ARMY Oh the ItCSlNeu
a telegram from the President of this club
TO take the place of the President. L am
not here for that purpose. No man in this
Republic can take the place of President
Mckinley. And, gentlemen, when the bal
lots are counted in November the patriotic
and sensible people of this country will
demonstrate to the world that no man will
be permitted to take his place.
"The name of Hamilton suggests three
thoughts that may be appropriate in l9e0
first, strong government: second, just
government; third, a protective govern
ment. In this great world of ours, full Of
power. massive, aggressive governments.
this Nation as government must be
strong to take care c. our people and their
interests. No Cover -lment can be strong
that is not just. We cannot hold the love
and support of our people unless we are
just in the enactment, in the Interpretation
and in the execution of law. This govern
ment must protect capital and labor and
give each a fair chance. 1t must protect
the rich and the poor, the black and the
white ard the brown, also Mr.. Bryan I'm
less we have government big enough TO
extend its protective power everywhere
that flag there (pointing TO the stars and
stripes will come short of its duty. Aye,
and, gentlemen. 1t must be a government
that will protect its citizens in the heart of
Chicago or in the heart of China.
These doctrines of Hamilton, which /
assume are supported by this club, must be
the text-word of the hour. | want elected
a man who not only preached those doc
trines but, like Mckinley, acted them
from his heart, because i believe in those
to support the men who believe in them.
Therefore. / cry out tonight. elect at the
next election William Mckinley and Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
