Senator Lodge would say something besides

LODGES INFORMAL SPEECH.
Senator Lodge said:
Ladies' and Gentlemen: I have made my
speech to-day and | fear that there Is not much
that ] can add 10 IT,. This has been the per-
Torrance Of one Of the most agreeable duties
Of my life, TO be authorized by the great con-
~vention at Philadelphia to announces TO Presi-
dent Mckinley his unanimous denomination.
1t was particularly gratifying 10 me because
OF the fact that | have been In Washington
during all these four momentous years.
have seen what he had to do and the new ques-
tions he has had to meet. and ! have resented
with a deep resentment the criticisms that
have been made upon him by people who did
not realize one 1.-THE Of the vast responsibilities
that he was carrying. Therefore Il was to me
a particular pleasure IN say 10 him In the name
OF the National Convention, representing the
whole Of the Republican party:
I'VE have witnessed your work under these
great and trying circumstances We have
seen you do those great deeds which have
formed a great chapter In the history Of the
country. and with unanimous voice we approve
them and nominate you again for the Presi-
dency.' Continued cheering
The Republican party Is the party that has
always done things. and the people who do
things are the people who meet the most criti-
cism. You cannot carry intrenchments M
the point Of the bayonet without somebody
cryini: out. We have carried n great MANY
political intrenchments and there has been
a great deal OF crying out. We have carried
the country back 10 protection. have repelled
the attack upon the currency now again re-
newed. and we have met the great questions
of the war.
Great, deeds have brought the criticisms.
