soldiers, abusing our officers and degrading

without making any one single suggestion
that looks to tho settlement of the questions

Upon the tariff question they have no policy.
Upon the financial question they do not know
whether they are for Bryan Cleveland or

progress Of legislation, hoplessly stranded
amid the wrecks Of their misguided leaders.

The Resolutions Adopted.
When General Dick. chairman of the
committee on resolutions, appeared, he
was loudly applauded. He read the reso-
lutions with such effect that he was
cheered as he proceeded. especially on the
references to Roosevelt. Hanna, Foraker
and Governor Nash. On his motion the
resolutions were adopted as follows:
Presidents Mckinley and Roosevelt.

loved leader has passed to the great beyond.
None can miss him more than We who knew
him best. We deeply lament the tragic death
OF President Mckinley and cherish the Illus
trious life and noble example as the highest
inspiration to patriotic conservation and serv-
ice. Enshrined forever in the hearts OF his
countrymen, their unceasing devotion gar
lands his memory, and on their augmented

is reared his Worthiest and most enduring
monument. What ne was in his great ana
gracious personality, and what he did in his
lofty and lasting work, remain a precious

lative and administrative achievements he Is
| justly recognized as the chief architect OF
our later industrial growth and as the path

| expansion. His measures restored prosperity,
| diffused confidence and security, promoted
| fraternal concord, pointed the way to reciD-

| enlarged the republic, advanced it's prestige
| and influence among the nations, carried lib

! country in the van of the forces for civliza-

While he lived, his moral power and wis

safety, and after his death his fixed and we'll

| strength OF the nation. . .--.. ,.---.
| We cordially sustain President Roosevelt
in his pledge to carry forward the great
work which came to him as a sacred legacy.
We recognize his earnest and conscientious
devotion to the welfare of the people and
approve the high aims and character of his
administration. He faithfully maintains the
plighted faith of the nation, upholds the best
standard of the public service and stands by
/ the policies which assure stability and con-
