Arizona republican., 1904-07-09

Martin w Littleton, of New York. took the stand amid ringing applause to place Judge Parker of New York, in nomination.. MT. Littleton's manner of speaking is calm and deliberate and he uses beautiful gestures. His Voice is full, resonant and of a decidedly pleasing quality and could be heard further than that of any speaker who had preceded him, with the possible ex- ception of Richard P. Hobson.
 Mir. Littlet0n was given close atten- ticn.
 MT. Chairman, and gentlemen of the convention:
 We do not expect here that stup;d peace which smells Of chloroform.
 We do not wish that unctuous nuan-
 inity which springs from the uncon-
 tiicting emotions of a solitary. man. We
 would not have our harmony in a single harness. We, too, love the str of strenuous life: but we believe in equal
 strenuousness for cll, and special stren-
 uCusness for none. We do not derive
 our power from the seats of the
 mighty, hut from the souls of the hum
 ble. We do not ask for insane agree
 ment springing from faithless fire, but
 rather Cutbursts of dissension issu'n 'ng
 from robust freedom. We are not in
 executive session, but rather in com
 inittee of the whole. We were sent here
 by the people to select q candidate; We
 were not sent here by the candidate to
 notify the people.
 Our adversaries, by dwelling tender
 ly on the simplicity of the lamente d
 Mckinley, managed to endure for three days the strenuosity of Roosevelt. By recounting in affectionate teims the
 achievements of the enc, they evoked
 an enthusiasm which they immediately credited to the other Through tears
 that were shed for the noble dead they
 saw larger outline of the living.
 Driven by lash and lured by luck, they called on all the sacred dust to keep their spirits up. Set to run for three , full days. the pendulum petered out. the hands stuck fast and only stren- , uous shake could make the wheels gC around. Spiritless in the sullen task they worked up hill against the grain
 and gravity Of the hour. Without the
 master which they had learned to love they fingered listless under the whiL
 of one whom they had learned to fear
 Stripped Of premeditated pomp and 5 shorn of soothing phrase, the occasion 3 meant no more nor less than an era ol . boots and spurs. Take away the trib- | ute to the dead, and all that is left is Q ] horseman on the slopes of San Juan. Il was a leap in the darkness of a repub- lican eclipse and four years hence vii find them vainly lokoing for the ligat. Somehow, at times, there runs a sor
 of shock right down to the foundation:
 Of this republic, which makes tn, . structure tremble, and all the country Dauses and listens and then returns tC
 work. Somehow, although the future = welcome us, it does so with a maileC hand; somehow, although you canno . put your finger on the cause, there is :, universal fear; the mother watching , while her children sleep, mods, and theI
