A few short speeches were made during
the afternoon session, Major John NJ.
Brown leading with a Pronunciation of the
Republican party for its desertion of the
principles of free coinage of silver and its
policy of expansion
R. w. Turner followed. He stated that
the Silver Republican party was the real
Republican party, that it now stood for
principles the G.. o. P. had deserted at the
secret alliance between the adninistratio ion
and England and arraigned England for
Beers, while its subjects in India were
starving He denounced the conquest of
the Philippines and declared sympathy for
all countries fighting for liberty.
Webb McNall, who was the favorite OF
the convention, went after the state as
well as the national administration His
reference to Mr.. Breidenthal as the next
governor was the signal for enthusiastic
applause. He called the attention to the
lack of recognition given to the colored
men by the Republican party, saying that
the party only wanted their votes and
consequently just prior to an election the
colored voter was retold the story of his
emancipation and had been led to vote
on that question ever since his emancipa-
ton.
The convention adjourned to meet in
2 a a
delegates were elected to both conven-
tons

the national convention ought to reflect
that sentiment, and so declare. If they
fail to do that people will believe they
no longer adhere to principles aDnuncia-
ted in 1896 on that subject, or else that
they are too cowardly to declare their
true principle No political party in
this country ever gained any advantage
by failing to make emphatic declaration
upon any important question of policy.
1 believe failure to make definite de-
claration will mean utter defeat in COM
ing election. I admit there are other
important questions that must be con-
sidered, but none of them nor all of
them are in my opinion of sufficient i'm
portance to justify any departure from
platform of &C.,

WASHINGTON STATUE.
Unveiled at Paris With ApprO-
pirate Ceremonies.

Paris, July 3.-The ceremonies con-
nected with the unwilling of the eques-
TRAN statue of Washington, the gift
of IAN association of American women
for the presentation of a statue of
Washington to France" passed off to-
day according to program and under
favorable circumstances. Sousa's band
was in attendance. The United States
ambassador, General Horace Porter,
presided and delivered an address.
Consul General Good made the pre-
Sentation, and the French minister of
affairs. M Delcasse. accepted in be-
half of France
NJ. Delcasse, in accepting the statue,
said:
THE thought Of Offering France a
statue of the hero who was the incar-
nation of virtue of his race, could
but go to the heart of this country.
But it touched it more particularly
when coming from the American wo-
men who unite for perfect valor with
grace. / beg the women of the United
States to accept with my respectful
homage, the profound thanks of the
French nation He whose noble immo-
bile image has just been unveiled may
perhaps be cited as an example for the
world, but especially to the citizens of
a democracy. 1 doubt if another could
be found in history who could reunite
in the same degree the qualities de-
manded for the guidance of a free
people,
Colonel Charles Long delivered an ora
ton.
The equestrian statue of Washington
is in bronze and is about fifteen feet in
height to the top of the head of Wash
ington and from twenty-five to twenty
three feet to the point of the uplifted
sword. Washington is represented in
full military costume taking command
of the American army at Cambridge
Gully 3, 1870 and dedicating his sword
to the service of his country.
The pedestal was designed by Charles
F. McKin. of McKin, Mace & White,
and is of Milford granite and Knoxville
marble and is about fourteen feet in
height and classic in treatment. The
statue was cast in bronze in New York
by the Henry Bonnard Bronze company
and the pedestal was executed in the
United States. The architect is an
American, and the two sculptors, Mr.
Daniel c. French. who modelled the fig
ure of Washington, and Mr.. Edward
c. Potter. who made the horse. are
both Americans. The whole monument
therefore, is essentially American.

CHANGE IN FOOD
works VOICES In Health.

It is worth knowing that a change in
food can cure dyspepsia 'I deem it my
duty to let you know how Grape-Nuts
food has cured me of indigestion.
Il had been troubled with it for years,
until last year my doctor recommended
Grape-Nuts, food to be used every morn
ing. I followed instructions and now I
am entirely well.
1.-The whole family like Grape-Nuts.
We use four packages a week You are
welcome to use this testimonial as you
see fit am willing to give any infor-
nation to anyone who desires to see or
write me regarding Grape-Nuts.'' Re
specially, Mrs. c. H. Lowe. 6S1 Parker
St, Roxbury, Mass.
The reason Mrs. Lowe was helped by
the use of Grape-N Nuts food, is that the
food is predigested by natural processes
and therefore does not tax the stomach
as the food she had been using; it also
contains the elements required for build
ing up the nervous system If that part
of the human body is in perfect working
order, there can be no dyspepsia, for
nervous energy represents the steam
that drives the engine.
When the nervous system is run down.
the machinery of the body works badly
Grape-Nuts food can be used by small
children as well as adults. 1t is perfectly
cooked and ready for instant use.

to take the curse off.

the place of honor. During it's progress
through the streets, the Rough Riders

greeted with extraordinary denonstra-
