faith, and whose creed Is that
Goods In His heaven,
Ais right with the world"
Whatever else I'm the past has suffered
change OF decay, the Republican party
which for forty years has been identified
with everything ennobling and uplifting
In our history, was never as vital, as
virile, and as vigorous as today. And
the heritage we shall transmit to the new
century, to the coming generation and
to their children, and to their children's
children, shall be record clean and un-
tarnished, an unquenchable faith In free
institutions, an unalterable belief In the
patriotism of the people, and an undying
love Of liberty and OF country.

The temporary chairman concluded his
speech at 2.12.
As his brilliant peroration closed there
was another enthusiastic demonstration
OF approval, delegates standing on chairs
and waving hats, fans, umbrellas and
handkerchiefs.
Mr.. .wolcott received many hearty hand
shakes from those about him, and then
turned TO the business of the convention
announcing the long list Of secretaries
and officials previously agreed upon.
There was momentary luli and then
Mr.. wolcott, gazing out at the assemblage,
said:
"Governor Taylor of Kentucky is rec
ognized."
Every eye was turned toward the GEN.
tire Of the hall where tall, gaunt, black
CARRIED figure, with the swarthy face of
an Indian, stood with paper In his
hand, waiting pause in the hurrah
which his name had evoked.
"Come to the platform, governor, they
want to see you," called out Mr.. Wolcott.
The A much discussed man from Ken
lucky moved up the middle aisle to the
platform, receiving cheer as Senator
Wolcott advanced to greet him.
Gov. Taylor seconded the names of the
various officials who had been announced
and this done, left the stage.
The nominations were made unani-
nous.
"Mr. Payne of New York." announced
the chairman, and again all eyes turned
to the centre of the hall, where this time
the silver tipped form of the chairman
Of the ways and means committee was
seen.
He moved that the rules of the last con-
yention should prevail until other rules
We're adopted and this prevailed without
dissent.
The call of the roll of states, for the
submission OF the members OF the various
committees then began. 1t proved a
tedious process, and the convention was
virtually in recess as the names We're
handed in.
While the lists were being brought to
the stage, Gov. Roosevelt was holding a
regular leeve in the pit. Delegates
swarIned toward him from every direc-
tion.
Ex-senator Quay was one OF those
who greeted him warmly.
The New Mexican delegation, with
broad sombreoes, climbed over seats in
their eagerness to get to him and shake
his hand.
Chauncey NJ Depew and the other big
guns Of the New York delegation were
ignored. When order had been restored
after the confusion incident to this scene,
MIR. wolcott announced that the secretary
would read the list Of the various COM
mittees. These committees, he an
nounced, could meet Immediately after
the adjournment of today's sessions OF
the convention.
The clerk read the list ! n voice which
did not carry 80 feet from the stage and
the spectators who usually applaud the
names of the popular party leaders as
they are called, were denied this pleasure
of paying tribute to their favorites.
When the lists had been read Represen-
tative Cannon of Illinois was recognized
to move an adjournment until tomorrow.
Rev. Edgar NJ. Levy, who delivered the
invocation at the first Republican con-
venUion in this city A years ago today,
white haired and feeble, delivered bene-
diction upon the convention as follows:
Almighty God, Our Heavenly Father,
how excellent is Thy name in all the
earth. The whole world is full of Thy
glory. Unto Thee do we lift up our
hearts in humility, love and praise. We
give Thee most hearty thanks for our
personal. social and national blessings.
Thou has cast our lines in pleasant places
and given us goodly heritage. Thou
