Wolcott was preparing to call the con

now black with people, and the seen,
was inspiring. At 1926 Senator Wolcot

M. Boswell opened the proceedings
with prayer.

same old flag used in that convention
AT that moment a file of white-hairet
patriarchs appeared from the rear
bearing the faded American flag, tat
tered and barely held together by 6
cross-staff. The audience rose and 6
deafening salute went up. The f1fteer
white-haired men ranged themselves
side by side, looking out on the sea OF
faces. Alongside of the flag another
standard bore the legend: National

sided the delegation read a resolution
declaring their unwavering allegiance
to the party they helped to bring forth
and adding, 1--WE heartily indorse the
administration of William Mckinley
which gives us such unbounded pros
perity."
ADDICKS A WINNER.
Representative Payne of New York
read the report of the committee on Gre
dentials. Friends of j. e. Addicks, of
Delaware, applauded when Payne an
nounced the victory of Addicks over the
Dupont faction. No one demanded the
floor to debate the report, which was
put through with whirl.
PERMANENT ORGANIZATION.
General Grosvenor, chairman of the
committee on permanent organization,
presented that committees report,
naming Senator Henry Cabot Lodge as
permanent chairman. The chair an
nounced the committee to escort Lodge
to the chair as Governor Shaw of Iowa
and Governor Roosevelt of New York.
A cheer went up. Apparently Roosevelt
had not expected to be thus designated,
and his face showed signs of annoyance
as he moved to Mr.. Lodges seat. Cheers
echoed continuously until Lodge, after
greeting Wolcott, turned to the audi
ence and began his address.
THE PLATFORM.
Philadelphia, June 20, 2:2O p. M
Senator Fairbanks of Indiana reported
the platform as follows: The Republic
ans of the United States, through their
chosen representatives, met in national
convention, looking back upon tho I'M
surpassed record of achievement, and
looking forward into the great field of
duty and opportunity, and appealing to
the judgment of their countrymen,
make these declarations: The expecta-
ton in which the American people,
turning from the Democratic party, in
trusted the power four years ago to the
Republican chief magistrate and Re-
publican congress, have been met and
satisfied; when the people then assem-
bled at the polls after term of DEM
ocratic legislation and administr alton,
business was dead, industry paralyzed
and the national credit disastrously i'm
paired; the countrys capital was hid
den away and it's labor distressed, un-
employed, the Democrats had no other
plan with which to improve the ruinous
conditions which they had themselves
produced than to coin silver at ratio
of 16 to 1, the Republican party de-
nouncing this plan as sure to produce
conditions even worse than those from
which relief was sought, promised to
restore prosperity by means of two leg
slative measures, protective tariff
and law making gold the standard of
value, the people by great majorities is
sued to the Republican party the COM
mission to enact these laws. This CON-
mission has been executed and the Re-
publican promise Is redeemed. Prosper
ity more general and more abundant
than we have ever known has followed
these enactments. There is no longer
any controversy as to the value Of any
government obligations. Every Amer
lean dollar is a gold dollar or its assured
equivalent, and American credit stands
higher than that of any nation. Capt.
tai is fully employed everywhere; labor
is profitably occupied. No single fact
can more strikingly tell the story Of
what the Republican governmen,
means to the country than this-that
while during the whole period of 10i
years from 1901 to 1897 there was ar
excess of exports over imports Of only
$3.50, OPS, ,497, there has been in the short
three years Of the present Republican
administration an excess of exports
over imports in the enormous sum Of
81, ,4S3, 73S, ,O94-and while the American
people, sustained by this Republican
legislation, have been achieving these
splendid triumphs in their business ant
commerce, they have conducted and II
victory concluded war for liberty ant
human rights. No thought Of nationa
aggrandizement tarnished the high pur
DoQo with which the American stand
