Chicago. June 23.--Joseph B. Cotton
of Minnesota seconded the nomination
OF Theodore Roosevelt in the name Of
Minnesota and the great northwest.
His remarks called forth great APP
plause. He said:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen Of the
Convention: Responsive to the swell
ing chorus Of millions of voices from
all over the republic, we are here to
name as our standard bearer the gifted
son Of the Empire state, who has in his
makeup all the resolute spirit and
vigor of the imperial west and in whose
veins courses the rich. warm blood Of
the dauntless southland. Nominating
and seconding speeches here are of no
moment. for his nomination has al
ready been made by the American peo-
pie themselves. We have only to Sc
lect his running mate, proclaim the
doctrines of our faith and go forth and
overwhelm once more the cohorts Of
distracted. distempered and dismem-
bered democracy.
Democratic friends In this year Of
grace are destined to be mere idle
dreamers and only seers Of visions.
Dissentious. they lack faith and have
no issue. Why, just now they are try
ing to let go Of the orator Of the
Platte" and his fustian Gross OF Gold.
They now say that free silver" Is dead
because the Almighty put too much
gold In the lap OF Old Mother Earth
Forsaking their traditions, they ne
longer champion free trade. They
clamor only for a republican revision
Of the Dingley tariff. Has 1t come to
this, that with Chamberlain Of Eng
land, they are at last openly become
protectlonists? They now seem really
anxious to keep the American flag
where 1t is, regardless and unmindful
of whether the constitution follows the
flag or the flag follows the constitution.
Truly can any good thing come out
of this democratic chaos. In SO his
tory making. creative years what pol
icies, domestic or foreign, fiscal or in
dustrial. expensive or constructive, has
the democratic party embodied into
