committee recommended that H. M.
Mingay be chairman of the delegation.
Tha report was accepted and adopted.
The committee on resolutions not
being ready to report. and the time
for the arrival of Senator Wolcott
being close at hand, it was recommen-
ded that the convention take recess
until l 80 o'clock, to reassemble at
the opera house. there to listen to
the address by Colorado's junior SEN
ator, and that at the conclusion of
the address, the committee on resolu-
tions present its report. and it was
so ordered BY Chairman McLain.
A le-ge crowd of people assembled
at the depot to await the arrival of
the train The Peabody Military
band WIS th-!e also, and as the train
"a 'ed into the station Senator VOL
Coz. was received in an enthusiastic
manner and with strains of stirring
music. The Senator and the recep-
tion committee, in carriages, proceed
ed to the opera house, the band act
ing as escort.
The opera house was well filed SEa
great enthusiasm prevailed as Senator
Wolcott appeared on the platform.
In few well chosen and patriotic
words Chairman McLain introduced
Senator Wolcott as Colorado's Junior
and "Only Senator"
Senator Wolcott congratulated the
Republicans of Fremont county upon
the harmony that prevailed within
the party as was evidenced by the
attendance of delegates before him.
To him it meant great deal to see
so many who "had differed with US
in other years" once more united to
retain in power the present admins
tration that had SO safely piloted the
country through perilous times; an
administration whose policy had
placed the country upon solid and
permanent financial footing, so that
to-day, instead of being debtor ma
tion, we were creditor nation, SO
much so, indeed, that to-day foreign
powers are now borrowing millions of
dollars and America was able to meet
the request without in any way jeop-
ardizing our own interests. He al
luded to the wonderful debt reducing
policy of President Harrison, and
debt accommodating policy enacted by
Grover Cleveland. Senator Wolcott
stated that the cry of imperialism"
raised by Mr.. Bryan and his "anti'
combine was myth. He said that
if to retain Cuba and the Philippines,
things which came to the United
States through honest methods, and
if to maintain the government and
the flag, meant that he was an imper
ialist, then he gloried in the fact
that he was an ''imperialist." He
was glad that he found it a pleasure
to ever stand by those principles that
had built up the greatest republic
that finds place in the annals of
history. The address was closely
listened to and its sharp points called
forth frequent applause.
The committee on resolutions then
presented its report which was ac-
cepted and adopted.
Resolved, by the Republicans of
Fremont County, Colorado, in conven-
tion, August %, 1900, assembled, as
follows:
First, that we enthusiastically en-
dorse the policies and administration
of President William Mckinley. In
his term new lustre has been added
to our arms on sea and on land. In
every quarter of the globe we are
now regarded as first class power.
In the future no great step affecting
the interests of mankind can be taken
without consulting the United States
of America. Whoever hereafter
stands beneath the Stars and Stripes
will be respected by all peoples upon
the earth. Under Republican admin
istration, at least, wherever our flag
may be raised it will be guaranty Of
la,u Of nrdar and Of liha a.t. aaaa.I;.
