/ peace and welfare of China, the
safeguarding Of all OUR treaty rights
and the maintenance of those prin-
ciples of impartial intercourse to
which the civilized world is pledged.
II cannot conclude without con-
| graduating my countrymen upon
the strong national sentiment which
finds expression in every part of
Our common country and the in
creased respect with which the
American name is greeted through
out the world. We have been
moving in untried paths, but our
steps have been guided by honor
and duty. There will be no turn
ing aside, no wavering, no retreat.
No blow has been struck except for
liberty and humanity, and none
will be. We will perform without
fear every national and information
al obligation. The Republican
party was dedicated to freedom for
ty-four years ago. 1t has been the
party of liberty and emancipation
from that hour; not of profession,
but of performance. 1t broke the
shackles of 4,ooo,o 900 slaves and
made them free, and to the party
of Lincoln has come another su-
preme opportunity, which it has
bravely met in the liberation of TO-
900, 900 of the human family from
the yoke of imperialism.
"In its solution of great prob
lens, in its performance of high du-
ties, it has had the support Of men,
bers Of all parties in the past and
confidently invokes their corpora
ton in the future. Permit me to
express Mr.. Chairman, my most
sincere appreciation of the compli-
mentary terms in which you con-
vey the official notice of my nomi-
nation. My thanks to the mem
beers of the committee and to the
great constituency which they rep
resent for this additional evidence
of their favor and support"
GOVERNOR RoosEvELT's REPLY.
In accepting the Republican NOM
ination for the Office of Vice-Presi-
dent, at Oyster Bay, Long Island,
Mr. Roosevelt said:
"Mr. Chairman: I accept the
honor conferred upon me with the
keenest and deepest appreciation of
what it means, and above all, of the
responsibility that goes with it.
Everything in my power to do will
be done to secure the reelection of
President Mckinley [applause], to
whom it has been given in this
great crisis of Our national history
to stand for and embody principles
that should be close to the heart of
every American worthy of the
name.
"This is more than a party con-
test. We are now standing at the
parting Of the ways. The people
must now decide whether they will
go on the road to prosperity at
home and honor abroad or whether
they will turn their backs on what
has been done in the past three and
a quarter years, thereby p1unging
the country into an abyss of misery,
and what is worse, shame.
1--WE have right to appeal not
only to Republicans, but to all citi-
zens, no matter what utilization
they have had in the past, and ask
them on the record OF President
Mckinley for the past three years
and the strength of the threat i'm
Piled in what was done at Kansas
City some days ago, to stand shout
der to shoulder to defend q prosper
ity never before attained by us and
abroad to place the American flag
on level on which it has never be-
fore been placed.
For these reasons we have the
right to look forward to verdict
next November. and to ask all to
stand for us as we stand for pros
perity at home and honor abroad"
