evidences of last nights severe storm.
At the Mckinley residence the effects OF

of the flag decorations and the big lunch
con tent but these were soon fixed up
and everything was in readiness for the
ceremonies at the appointed time.
THE BASIS oF-THE CAMPAIGN.
The speeches of Senator Lodge and Pres
ident Mckinley were considered to a GER
tain extent the basis upon which the
For that reason special attention was
given TO their utterances.
Chairman Lodge and the members OF
the notification committee together with

" as their candidate for this great Of
flee is always one of the highest honors
which can be given To any man. This
nomination. however, comes to you sir
under circumstances which give II a
higher significance and make IL an even
deeper expression OF honor and trust
than usual
You were nominated unanimously at
Philadelphia. You received the unforced
vote or every delegate. from every state
and every territory.
HARMONY OF SENTIMENT.
The harmony OF sentiment which ap-
pears on the face OF the record was but
the reflection or the deeper harmony
which existed In the hearts and minds OF
the delegates.
Without faction, without dissent. with
profound satisfaction and eager enthu-
siasm, you were nominated for the presi-
dcncy by the united voice of the repre-
sentatives OF our great party. I'm which
there Is neither sign OF division nor shad-
ow OF turning.
Such unanimity, always remarkable Is
here the more impressive. because Il ac-
companies second nomination TO the
great office which YOU have held for four
years. II is not the facne triumph or
hone over experience. but the sober ap-
proval of conduct and character tested in
many trials and tried by many and ex-
traordinary responsibilities.
With the exception OF tie period I'm
which Washington organized thess<. tion
and built the state. and OF those othde
awful years when Lincoln led his people
through the agony Of the Civil war. and
saved from destruction the work or Wash
ington. there has never been n presiden-
tial term I'm our history 80 crowded with
great events. 30 filled with new and mo-
mentous questions. as that which Is now
drawing to It's END.
