briefly as follows:
Just before taking the train night
before last to come to Chicago to have
an all-around good time with my COM
rades of the G. A. r. 7 received a tele-
gram from the president OF this club
asking me to take the plac eof the pres
ident / am not here for that purpose.
No man in this republic can take the
place of President Mckinley. And gem
tlemen, when the ballots are counted In
November the patriotic and sensible
people Of this country will demonstrate
to the world that no man will be per-
mtted to take his place. The name of
Hamilton suggests three thoughts that
may be appropriate to 1900-tirst, a
strong government second, just gov
ernment; third, a protective govern
ment."
Senator Cushman K. Davis replied in
part as follows to the toast, Our Des-
tiny: "This campaign is portentious
Others have been conducted on a few
issues, economic or moral In this one
the democratic party and its candidate,
the man the reversal of every policy,
domestic and foreign, monetary, finan-
cial, protective and expansive which
has made the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley one of the most glori-
Gus in cur history by the splendor of
it's military and naval achievements,
by its revival of dying industries, by
its financial legislation, by its making
the United States the first money power
in the world. by its extension of our
sovereignty and by our advancement TO
the very forefront of international in
fuence.
This declaration does not denounce
the administration of President McKin-
ley for Its failures, it condemns it for
its achievements. 1t declares them to
be destructive of true prosperity and
subversive Of our institutions 1t de-
mands that the gold standard shall be
abolished, and that protection to Amer
lean industries shall cease"
Speaking of China, the senator said:
"There are few events in our diplomat
ic and military history more honorab BILE
than the consummate skill the wise
conservatism and the unf1inching cour-
age by which the administration of
President Mckinley relieved our lega-
tion and at the same time maintained
proper relations with the Chinese en-
pire.
Il look for the regenera tion of China
as a result Of the convulsions she Is
now suffering. 1t will come to pass not
by the partition of that mighty and i'm
empire. but by It's full entry
al Loo
nations of the world. The process will
not be long one. 1t has been going |
on for fifty years, and has become more |
perfect and extensive every year. When |
fully completed the United States will |
be the greatest participant in that
trade of the pacific which Humboldt |
predicted more than seventy-five years
ago would be the greatest commerce the
land and sea have ever known. We |
need but cross one ocean to grasp the
wealth of Ormus and of Ind" Europe
must traverse four seas to share it.
We can produce everything which that
nsatiable market can absorb just now
We are producing and exporting our
'abrics, textile, metallic and miscella-
leous to every market in the world, as
C policies put in force during our civil
var and steadily persisted in by that
)arty ever since.
This is manifest destiny; it is writ
ell by an auspicious astrology upon the
ky of visible future. 1t will give 15,-
100000 of people to our states of the Pa

alents Of an aspiring youth and in
