PLATFORM suITs DoLLlvER.
He Does Not Fear Differences Of opin
n ion. Within Party Lines.

No sooner had the nominations been
made, than there arose a chorus of
cries for Senator Dolliver. He came
to the stage, meeting with a highly
fiattering reception from the vast
audience. In speech that evoked ev-
cry evidence of cordial approval, he
said:
Gentlemen of the Convention:
thank you very much for your cordial
greeting to me. 1t has been good
many years since first came upon
a platform here in Des Moines at a
republican convention; long ago
enough for me to have acquired some
of the infirmities of the veterans in
the party service, whether have be-
come entitled to any Of the privileges
of that position or not. In all these
years / have been an interested OBJ
server and participant in the differ
ences of our party opinions within our
own lines; differences which in the
s. United States, wherever two or three
are gathered together, are never abb
: sent except at funerals and Fourths
of July. have never had any fear Of
these differences and the statement of
them. believe they are all encourag-
ing and helpful signs of the progress
of the party and of the country 1t
has long been conviction of mine
that in the noise and dust of contro-
yersy we are very likely to find the
truth. think that a political party
that is in the long run damaged by
the net results of joint debate is
very far gone along the main road to
destruction. The maxim with which
John Weslay defended his theology,
: think and let think, is a maxim that
( is good in politics and good in all the
other worldly business of this life.
There is, of course, danger that our
I debates may degenerate into trivialties
and into personalities, and | for one
am glad that # we have had any such
danger as that in this state, we have
gotten out Of it. thanks to the wisdom
of our veteran leader, Senator William
I B. Allison. For my own part do not
z want any better statement of my po-
litical faith than that contained in the
great speech that was made to us here
this morning by George D. Perkins; a
speech which in itself is one of the
potent inspiring public utterances OF

The next speaker was Congressman
Cousins, who in speech in which he
strongly upheld the Dingley law, said:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men: 1t was an observation of the
late Mr.. Lowell that the only faith
that works we'll and holds it's color in
all weathers is that which is woven
of conviction and set with the sharp
mordent of experience Those of us
who have lived all our lives in the re-
publican party and in this great state
OF Iowa, as have our fathers and
grandfathers during their latter days,
having had occasion to compare the
various political policies and expert
ments which have been promulgated
and tested from time to time, have
reason now to exult in the high and
uniform estate to which our people
have come through the uncompromis-
ing principles and practical work
ings of original and genuine republi-
canism.
Asserting the fact which is within
the knowledge and experience Of every
citizen within the state of Iowa and
the whole country, 1t may be said with.
out fear of responsible dispute, that
during the past six years the people
Of this country have enjoyed the great
est and most uniform prosperity they
have ever known Not within the ex
perience or the memory of any living
man has the general welfare of ou1
people equalled or surpassed the hap
py conditions that have existed since

TREATIES ARE DELAYED.
Cuba Not Taking as Quick Action as
Hoped For,

Havana. June 2S.--News received here
of renewed opposition of the protec-
tionists in the Cnited States to the con-
firmation Of the Cuban reciprocity
treaty is particularly unwelcome in
Cuba at this juncture, as It had been
hoped that the Cuban senate before the
adjournment of the present session
would ratify all the treaties pending
with the United States. Although
Cuba is bound under the Platt amend
ment to carry out the other pending
treaties, 1t is feared that some sena-
tors may make the additional difficul-
ties that the reciprocity treaty is en-
countering at Washington an excuse for
letting the ratification of other treat
les go over until the winter session Of
the Cuban congress.
The treaty covering the leases OF ma
val and coaling stations to the United
states, the signing of which is expect
ed to take place today, provides that
the United States shall advance any
moneys necessary for the acuuirement
by Cuba of such private lands as are
necessary for the purposes of the sta
