LATIoN CLAUSES WOULD REDUCE REPRESENTATION WHERE
NEGRO is DLSFRANCHISED- PRAISE FOR ROOSEVELT

CHICAGO, June 22.-The text OF the plat
form adopted to-day by the Republican Ma
tional Convention follows:
Fifty years ago the Republican party came
into existence, dedicated among other pur-
poses to the great task OF arrestlng the ex-
tension Of human slavery. In 1860 it elected
its first President. During twenty-four years
Of the forty-four years which have elapsed
since the election OF Lincoln the Republican
party has held complete control OF the gov
ernment. For eighteen more Of the forty
four years 1t has held partial control through
the possession Of one or two branches OF the
government, while the Democratic party
during the same period has had complete
control for only two years.
This long tenure OF power by the Republl-
can party is not due to chance. 1t Is dem.
onstration that the Republican party has
commanded the confidence OF the American
people f. arly two generations to degree
never equalled in our history, and has dis
played high capacity for rule and govern
ment which has been made even more con.
spicuous by the incar acity and infrmity Of
purposes shown by Its opponents.
The Republican party entered upon its
present period OF complete supremacy In
1897. We have every right to congratulate
ourselves upon the work since then accom-
plished, for it has added lustre even to the
traditions OF the party which carried the
government through the storms OF civil war .
REDEEMED THE COUNTRY FROM EVIL
PLIGHT OF '93.
The country, after four years OF Demo-
cratic rule, was In evil plight, oppressed with
misfortune and doubtful OF the future. Pub.
lie credit had been lowered, the revenu es
were declining and the debt was gro wing,
the standard Of values was threatened and
uncertain, labor was unemployed, business
was sunk In the depression which had sue
ceeded the panic OF 1898, hope was faint and
confidence was gone.
We met these unhappy conditions vigor-
ously, effectively and at once. We replaced
Democratic tariff law, based on free trade
principles and garnishei with sectional pro-
lection, by a consistent protective tariff, and

Horrible Death.

Charles Daniels, age nineteen years, a
nephew of Mrs. Charles Z. Denny, OF Elk
ton, met a horrible fate at the iron mills at
Duncannon, Pa, on Saturday. The young
man was employed as catcher and stood
waiting with his tongs to catch bar of red
hot metal as 1t left the rolls. when without
an instant's warning the bar twisted and
pierced his abdomen. The metal was then
drawn back by the reversing rolls, leaving
Mr.. Daniels to suffer Intense agony until
death ensued half an hour later.

UNANIMOUS CHOICE FOR EACH
ON THE FIRST BALLOT

President Theodore Roosevelt and Sem
ator Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana,
were nominated unanimously Thursday
afternoon on the first ballot for PrcS1-
dent and Nice-PrcSdcnt of the United
States by the Republican National Con
vention in the Coliseum, at Chicago.
The nominations were made amid en-
thusiasm of the old-fashioned sort and Il
spirit THAT stirred the enormous gather
ing of delegates and spectators to quick
and lively emotions was rife.
The speech nominating Roosevelt was
made by cX-Gov Black. of New York,
and that placing Fairbanks before the
convention by Senator Dollivcr. Of Iowa.
Twenty minutes of frantic cheering
followed cX-Gov. Blacks speech. The
demonstration was spontaneous and it
was memorable.
From one end to the other of the vast
Coliseum the waves of confused, over
whclming sound leapcd and rcvelberat-
ed The hall was filled to its capacity
of $500 fer the first time, and those who
came were prepared to shout.

industry, freed from oppression and stimula-
ted by the encouragement of wise laws, has
expanded to degree never before known,
has conquered new markets and has created
volume of exports which has surpassed i'm
agination. Under the Dingley tariff labor
has been fully employed, wages have risen
and all Industries have revived and PROS
pered.
ESTABLISHED GOLD STANDARD.
We firmly established the gold standard.
which was then menaced with destruction.
Confidence returned to business, and with
confidence an unexampled prosperity. For
deficient revenues, supplemented by improv-
ident issue OF bonds, we gave the country a n
income which produced a large surplus and
which enabled us only four years after the
Spanish war had closed to remove over on a
hundred millions OF annuel war taxes, re-
duce the public debt and lower the interest
charges OF the government.
. The public credit, which had been so low
cred that In time Of peace Democratic ad-
minstration made large loans at extravagant

penditures, rose under Republican adminis-
tratien to its highest point, and enabled US
to borrow at 2 per cent. even in time OF war.
RECORD IN CUBA AND PHILIPPINES.
We refused to palter longer with the mis-
cries OF Cuba. We fought quick and VIC
torious war with Spain. We set Cuba free,
governed the island for three years and then
gave it to the. Cuban people with order re-
stored, with ample revenues, with education
and public health established, free from debt
and connected with the United States by wise
provisions for our mutual interests. We have
organized the government OF Porto Rico and
Its people now enjoy peace, freedom, order
and prosperity.

there before. We have organized civil gov

BODY RECOVERED.
Remains of J, ], Burnswood Found
Beneath Stove in Wrecked Cabin.

The body of ]. j. Burnswood, who
met death in the snowslide at Alta last
Thursday was recovered yesterday not
more than Is feet from where the III.
fated cabin had stood The remains
were charred, indicating that the stove
in the cabin, In which hot fire was
burning, must have tipped over on to
the unfortunate man when the slide
struck the frail structure. The head
was crushed, however, In such a man
ner as TO leave no doubt that death
was instantaneous.
Superintendent A. o. Jacobson Of the
Columbus Consolidated discovered the
remains. Ever since the accident the
parties have pursued their search far
down the mountain, believing that
everything In the cabin must have been
carried n long way, as was Johnson :
body. Yesterday Mr., jacobson had been
In the tunnel OF the mine, near which
the cabin stood, and as he came out he
thought he detected the odor Of burnt
flesh This led him TO probe around I'm
the snow with a long rod and eventually
II encountered yielding substance,
Securing two aids, Mr.. jacobson started
digging at the suspicious point and the
body was uncovered at depth OF four
feet. The remains lay between the stove
and one wall OF the cabin, and par
TALLY under the stove, which was brok-
en- to pieces.
The body was brought to Salt Lake
last evening by Messrs. Oberlander and
stevens of Alta and turned over to

In conclusion the speaker said;

Elder Charles w. Penrose was the
next speaker He said II always gave
him pleasure to hear testimonies con-
corning the divine mission Of the PrOph-
ct Joseph Smith, no matter from whom
they came, because the work estab-
llshed by him was by direct revelation
and brought forth all the principles, or
dlnances, power, authority, gifts and
blessings characteristic Of previous dis
pensations. At different times our
Heavenly Father had raised up men TO
receive and declare His words. AS
stated in the Epistle TO the Hebrews,
God, who at sundry times and In d.
vers manners spake In time past unto
the fathers by the prophets hath in
these last days spoken unto US by His
Son, whom lie hath appointed heir TO
all things, by whom also He made the
worlds"

''in the testimonies Of the ancient pro-
phets and In all the principles declared
by them which have been preserved
and handed down to us in the Bible, al
though that book does not contain them
ALL The Bible has been the great pre-
parer for the work Of the latter-days,
II refers to the last times and the work
that would be brought about In this

prehends the gathering together of all
truth; all the ordinances, gifts and
powers Of former dlspensations and
things also kept hid from the founda-
ton Of the world, To usher In this
