iaso the history of the Spanish
American wa, and praised the al
ministration for it's explendid work II
that business. He pitched into the
democratic party of the last ad inis
tration for it's Pacific railroad work
for making railroads pay properly fol
government aid.
He denounced the Cleveland sd
ministration bitterly as creating un-
| n um bered disasters, and pointed with
| pride to the work of .the advancement
president.
In all he spoke about two hours. His
speech was continually punctuated by
applause.
The money questiop he trea.e
sim ply, aud said the passage of the
gold standard bill settled the ques-
tion.
Wolcott's statement that the passage
of the gold bill marked the termination
for ever of any sort of difference be-
tween the repu blicans of ths west and
the east, growing out of currency pro-
blems, caused grea: enthusiasm.
During tie long continued cheers
with which this part of his speech was
greeted Roosevelt, who was cheering
as loudly as anyone, jump to his feet,
and waved his ha:-an example that
was a. once followed by nearly every
delegate In the Hall.
Wolcott closed at 2:lO p. M. Wolcott,
like Hanna, wore a white vest. Unlike
Hanna, however, whose coat was open
during his speech, displaying a white
and snowy expanse. Wolcott's vest just
peeped below a sack coat, SO tightly
outtoned as to look almost too small for
him
His voice was in splendid condition
and every word of the speech was de
livered With distinction, and must have
been pleasure to his hearers. He
spoke deliberately and not with the
rspidity with which he usually aG-
dresses the senate.
Almost every sentence of his refer
ence to the Philippines was al
plauded, especially when he said that
the last thing he would do would be to
abandon those islands.
He spoke OF democratic opposition to
the retention of the archipelago, and
characterized the democrats as "Antf-
everythtngs," which name was re-
celVeo with great delight by the crowd.

Few people at present doubt that
Roosevelt will eventually be the
lom1nee, despite his attempts to slim
way from tt e job. All other booms
ppear weakliuRs alongside that OF the
Governor of New York. He Ia a man
al seems to Ell the place better than
III others just cow, and if the tenpsr
L the delegates is any criterion he
I'LL be nomirated.
Roosevelt's statement, issued late
esterday Afternoon, ia taken on all

ested that Roosevelt's hesitation
