| 'Wyandotte county presents TO this con-
| vention the name Of F.. A Enright- zap
plause.) The Republican party is strong
Z enough TO stand anything but factional
| fight. The duty OF the hour is 10 nomt-
nate ticket that viii keep every Repub-
lean in line. Enright belongs TO no fac
ton.
',our candidate is in the prime of his
young manhood. He was born about
forty years ago in Vermont, state that
has never swerved in its loyalty TO Re
publicanism.
Our state is safe for this year, but
what about 1895. when Roosevelt is our
leader?
Every frst-class city in the state with
the exception of Wichita IS in the hands
of the Democrats. Even Topeka, the holy
of holes, is in Democratic hands Nom
mate Enrigbt and the ticket viii have
5000 majority in Wyandotte county II
you do not nominate him Mayor Craddock
| of Kansas City may carry the county by
1900 and endanger the state two years
from now"

| presented 10 the convention as he had
withdrawn from the fight

/ dent that Bailey was going 10 be named.
| Every time a big county swung into line
the Bailey men sent up cheer Seds-
wick, Reno, Leavenworth. Sumner and
! Marshall were among the big counties
that went solid for the Nemeha county

reached Mr. Cubbison stated that Mr..
Enright had instructed him TO cast the
forty votes of that county for Bailey
Immediately pandemonium reigned. The
Bailey men realized they had the fight
won They jumped on top Of the chairs
threw their hats in the air and yelled.

A committee was appointed to escort
Mr. Bailey to the platform. They found
him at the Carey hotel and soon brought
him before the convention. He was given
an ovation when he entered the building
He said:
MY words but feebly express the graf
itude of my heart when I thank you Tor
the honor you have conferred upon me-
To receive the nomination for governor !
an honor worthy Of any man, but 10 re-
receive ii after such a contest greatly in |
tensfies the honor to me.
I'VE mourn the death OF President Nc !
kinney, but the great principles for which /
he stood the policy he inaugurated have |
become the policy Of our government, |
and will be carried 10 contamination I'M |
der the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt.
In 1896 we took charge Of the government
in the hour OF adversely. We hold II now
in the hour Of prosperity. The record OF
Governor Stanley and his co-workers viii
make Republican victory this year easy.
The campaign that is before US must be
made on the line of UNFOLDING the presi-
dent in his policy of Cuban reciprocity.
(Applausel his policy in the Philippines,
which is to restore peace and good gov
eminent there.
