had subsidized the senator proposed Sem
ator Wolcott, of Colorado. as The COM
mittee's choice for temporary chair.
man. Senator Fairbanks moved that
the convention adopt the suggestion,
which was carried unanimously. aud on
the appearance of Wolcott the assembly,
again burst into applause. Senator
Wolcott, who is one of the orators Of
the senate, delivered a long speech, as
follows:
Since the first party convention III
these United States there has never
one gathered together under such hope,
4 full and suspicious circumstances as
those which surround us today
United, proud of the achievements of
tlle past four years. our country pros
porous and happy, With nothing 10 re-
greet and naught to make us as hamsd,
with record spotless and clean. the
republican party stands facing the
dawn, confident that the ticket IL SHAH
present will command public approval
and that in the declaration of its prin-
ciples and its purposes it Will voice the
aspirations and hopes of the vast ma
jority of American freemen.
I'VE need no omen but our coun-
try's cause: yet there is Significance in
the fact tina the convention is assem-
bled in this historic and beautiful city.
where we first assumed territorial re-
sponsibilities when our fathers !, cen
fury and quarter ago promulgated
the immortal declaration of independ-
ence.
The spirit of justice and liberty that
animated them found voice three-quar-
tiers of a century later III this same
city of brotherly love. when Fremont
led the forlorn nope of united patriots
who laid down here the formation OF
our party and put human freedom AS
its corner stone. Ii compelled ou, ears
to listen to the crs#of suffering ACROSS
the shallow waters Of the gulf Two
years ago. While We observe the lasv
of nations and maintain that neutrality
which We owe to a great and friendly
government. the same spirit lives today
