"This demonstration tonight is in
honor of the result of the republican
national convention just held at Phila-
delphia. A convention that will 60 down
in the history of the world unparalleled
as the grandest convention ever held by
the greatest republic on earth. Nine
hundred and thirty delegates chosen from
all of the states and territories of the
union, representing eighty millions of
people without dissenting voice pro-
claim the popular will of the people in
casting nine hundred and thirty votes in
favor of the next president and vice
president, Vim. Mckinley and Theodore
Roosevelt. 1t means that the present
administration will be continued in
power and that the present prosperity of
the country will continue, at least for
four years to come. The republican party
has redeemed its pledges. 1t has restored
prosperity within our broad land. From
ocean to ocean there is enterprise, thrift,
prosperity, work for all, and bread to
spare. There is no demand for change
on the part of the business men of our
country or on part of the mechanic, the
farmer or the wage Garner, In every de-
partment of business healthy state ex-
lists. The affairs of the nation have been
conducted upon principles of equal rights
to every American citizen. The oppos-
ton parties have nothing to offer the
people in exchange for the present ad-
ministration except anti-mperialism,
anti-expansion and anti-trusts. The total
summing up of all their stock in trade is
antics, and opposition to the principles
carried out by the republican party which
has given the people of this county the
high degree of prosperity we now enjoy.

The last half of the century just closing
records wonderful progress made by
this nation i'll all that contributes to the
natural greatness of a mighty republic
And predict that when the time comes
on Nov. 9th, for each voter to express
him or herself at the ballot box, the YER
dictdwill be in favor of the present adj
ministration of national affairs and the
nominees of the Philadelphia convention
will be ratified by an overwhelming ma
ljority."
l N. Smith followed with brief history
of the administration of our national
affairs by the republican party during a
