FORM our pattalions. under the leader
ship of our great statesman-Gen. Will

Mr.. Hanna evoked demonstration
when. speaking of the approaching cam
paign he declared:
land with such a leader and such
cause, there is nc such word as fail.
AS Mr.. Hanna closed his speech with. a
tribute to his colleagues on the national
committee, and reference to the close
of his craftsmanship, he spoke of the
sterling service of the senator from Col
orado, Mr. Wolcott, to his party, and
presented him to the convention as tenn
porary chairman.
WolcOtt's Address.
The address of Senator Wolcott, winch
followed, lasted an hour and ten minutes.
1t undoubtedly added to the prliiianl
Colorado orators reputation. Inc Key
note he sounded-an account of the Stew
ardship of the party-was as much for
the reading millions scattered over the
country as for the few thousands VINO
heard it, and 1t was difficult role Tor
a fiery and magnetic speaker to essay.
Senator Wolcott aroused unbounded en-
thuSiasm.
When with outstretched arm he pre-
dicted the triumphant election of the re-
publican ticket in November the audi
ence surrendered, and when he first men
toned President Mckinley's name ne
could not proceed for minute owing 70
the demonstration.
AS he rehearsed the history OF the lour
years of republican administrator, the
prosperity which had blessed it, the VIC
tories it had won. the glorious outcome
of the Spanish American war, the cam
paign of Misrepresentation IN conhecl.oii
with the Philippines which us ensIlies
had inaugurated and which IT mao met
the convention repeatedly broke llilo ap-
plause.
1t was a keynote speech, covering the
legislation which had been placed on the
statute books and it's deepest note was
the prosperity of this country and tne
legislation which had made its continual
ton possible IL the present ADMINISTERS
ton was continued in power. Ihat was
| the theme to which the demonsttaliohs
| of the convention chung.
When he said that the old issue of the
| democrats was dead and that they were
| driven to find new issues in war WhicI
| they had been most ANXIOUS 10 preclpi'
tate the convention rose at MIN, pul LIE
| outburst was even greater When ne oe'
| cIared that the division among the re-
! nuhlicans of the east and the west or
| the financial issue was thing Oh tiie
| past and that those who mad ielt the
party four years ago in the west were re-
turning on the issue of expansion. Inc
| first mention of expansion was also the
signal for a demonstration.
The Indiana delegation led the applause
when Senator Wolcott announced that
| the thieying post office officials IN Cupa
would be hunted down. Probably the
| greatest demonstration occurred when ne
| said that we would establish law ana or
| der in the Philippines, and that the last
| thing to be considered was IL 5i's W W
| islands. om
Mr.. wolcott received many hearty hand
shakes from those about him, ana then
