Temporary Chairman of the Republican
Convention.)
Senator Nolcott is young man, some
what launty in appearance. He wore
blue sack suit, and white vest. There
was elasticity in his step as he bowed
low to the convention, and there was
something about him which suggested
his mountain home. With pleasant
nod of acknowledgment to Chairman
Hanna, he turned and addressed the
convention, in part as follows:
"Since the first party convention in
these United States there was never one

England has become rich and
great on the spoils Of the robbed
to which she is not entitled by any
measurement of work.
The historian who so philoso-
phised has now to revise his con-
illusions. England is working for
all she will earn by her excursus
into South Africa. And she is
paying for it dearly, too, very dear
", in blood and means.
The stern old patriarch OF the
Beers said that possibly England
might carry out her designs on
South Africa, but she would DO 50

astound and amaze the world
