exalted purpose and statesman Of profound
wisdom He lived to correct evils, abolish
abuses and inaugurate reforms. He was be-
loved beyond all others by all the people, and
will be for all time. The country under his
administration attained a degree of I'M
paralleled prosperity and won the highest
prestige among the nations of the earth. His

EuIoEy Of Cushman X. Davis. H., -
Since the last assemblage of Minnesota re-
publcans III convention we have sustained an
irreparable loss by the death Of our great
est citizen, Cushman K. Davis-he was an
able governor brilliant senator, a brave
soldier, an honest lawyer and pro-
found scholar He was a thinker Of pure
thoughts; speaker OF kind words: a doer Of
generous deeds; this is the acme Of human
excellence. To-day we revere his memory aud
mourn his loss
EuIogy of President Roosevelt. -'
We unqualifiedly and unequivocally indorss
dent Roosevelt. The forceful manner IN
which he took hold of the reins Of government
after succeeding to the presidency under such
tragic circumstances, and tn eloyalty with
which he has pursued the policy OF his illus
trous predecessor, has won, the confidence
and approval of the American people. His
independence. courage, persistency, purity
and remarkable frankness, together with his
unquestoned repubhcanism has endeared him
to the entire party. We are therefore re-
solved that he shall succeed himself as presi-
dent of the United States in order that he
may continue to advance the prosperity OF
the people at home and the glory Of the re-
public abroad z' ' 90 80
Commentator of Gov. Van SAINT.
The administration of the states affairs by
Samuel R. Van SAINT has been one of con-
spicuous success. Devoted to the best inter-
ests of all the people of the commonwealth,
he has earned and will receive the hearty in
dorsement of the republicans Of this county.
And we believe his second term as the chief
executive of this state Is assured. He has
diligently and steadily labored to place the
finances OF our state on solid foundation,
