opened the proceedings with prayer.
A Remarkable Tribute.
A remarkable tribute to the flag and

now occurred.
Mr.. Wolcott stepped forward and
stated that IS survivors of the first re-
publican convention, called at Pitts
burgh A years ago, were present with
the same old flag used in that conven-

At that m a file of white
haired patriarchs appeared from the
rear, bearing at their head a faded
American flag, battered and barely held
together by a cross staff. As the flag
appeared the audience rose, delegates,
spectators and guests, and a deafening
salute went up for the feded standard
and its venerable upholders. The Is
white-haired men ranged themselves

faces. Alongside the flag another
standard bore the legend, National
Fremont Association. Republican par

Pittsburgh, Pa"

subsidized the delegation read n resolu-
ton declaring their ~unwavering al

hilitv of many of the members of the
National Fremont association to be

designated Maj. II. r. Long and ]. X.
Conner to represent them. h reso-
luton concluded with the declaration
that I'VE heartily indorse the admins
t~ration of Hon. William Mckinley,
which gives us such unbounded pros
perity.'
