prevail of the intelligent men Of all pos
litical PARTIES. Your stirring love OF
adventure has made you more samil-
Ter figure in western camps and on the
western plains than on the avenues OF
your native city. Your stirring Ameri-
canism has led you to q mastery OF the
earlier history and you have told US OF
the winning OF the west with a charm
and spirit that have made US all better
lovers of our country; while your tales
of western hunting adventures have
Allied the breast Of every lad in the land
with emulation. and whatever doubts
may have existed in the past, now that
you are our candidate, they will be be-
lieved to be true by every good republi-
can. There is no man whose privilege
1T was to know you and associate with
you while you were assistant secretary
of the navy under lMcKinley's appoint

the great ability and fidelity which
characterized your incumbency of that
office. OF your service to the country
during the late war with Spain, it is
not necessary for me to SPEAK. Your
name has ever been identified with the
heroic achievements of our army, and
your warmest friends and most devoted
admirers are the gallant band OF rough
riders whom you led to victory. This
bright and glorious record, however,
did not lead the great convention at
Philadelphia to insist upon you as its
candidate. altho it fills with pride the
heart OF every true American. The re-

good citizenship could go hand in hand
and that devotion to public welfare

and organization. There is not young
man in the United States who has not
found in your life an influence and in,

will lead our ticket to victory, for you
both have been tested, and in your

When Wolcott had concluded Roose-
Welt said;
Mr.. Chairman: accept the honor
conferred upon me with the keenest
and deepest appreciation of what it
means and above all of the RESPONSE

a that is in my power to do will be done
A to secure the reelection of Mckinley,

and embody the principles which lie
closest to the heart of every American
