coRTELYoU SURE oF PLACE.
Will Without Doubt be Chairman q
Republican National Committee.

washington, June 22.~-SecTetdI!
Cortelyou. of the department of COM
merce and labor, left here yesterday
afternoon for Chicago to attend the
republican national convention. He
will arrive in Chicago early this even
ing.
Advices received by President Roose-
Welt and others here from the conven-
ton leaders indicate that doubt of Sec
retary Cortelyou's selection AS nation ii
chairman has been removed entirely.
Such opposition as existed to Mr.. Cor
telyou has been dissipated and the be-
lief in authoritative quarters here is
| that he will be elected unanimously by
the new national committee at its
meeting subsequent to the adjourn
ment of the convention.
1t is pointed out that much of the
opposition to Mr.. Cortelyou's selection
as national chairman was based ON the
statement made IN various forms, that
/ he was at one time a democrat and
that he is at heart a free trader. A
high official of the government, who
has known Mr.. Cortelyou for many
years last night authorized statement
concerning his political record. which
| in fairness and as "A matter of record
| is here given:
Secretary George b. Cortelyou's s
| father and grandfather were republic
| cans of the staunchest kind. His
grandfather. Peter Crolius Cortelyou,
senior, was the intimate friend and as
sociate of Horace Greeley. Thurlow
Weed and other great leaders of the
party early in history. Both of his
brothers are republicans and the mem
bers Of his family have been known as
| republicans since the foundation of the
party. All the teachings of his earlier
years were in that political faith. and
when he took up the study of public
questions on his own account he be-
| came firm believer in republican doc
trines. His first vote was cast for a
republican candidate, and from that
day to this he has voted the republican

Fifty years ago the republican party
came into existence, dedicated, among
other purposes. to the great task OF ar
resting extension of human slavery In
1860 it elected its first president. Dur
ing twenty-four of the forty-four years
which have elapsed since it elected Lin
coin the republican party has had COM
plete control of the government. For
eighteen more of the forty four years
ii has held partial control thru possess
sion of one or two branches OF the gov
ernment while the democratic party
during the sQme period has held COM
plete control for only two years. This
long tenure of power by the republican
party is not due to chance. 1t is dem
onstration that the republican party
has commanded the confidence of the
American people for nearly two genera
tions to degree never equalled in our
history and has displayed high capacity
for rule, and which has been made even
more conspicuous by the incapacity and
informity of purpose shown by its ops
ponents The republican party entered
upon it's present period of complete su-
premacy in 1897.
We have every right to congratulate
ourselves upon the work since then ac-
complished. for it has added lustre even
to the traditions of the party which
carried the government thru the storm
Of civil war. We then found the coun'

In this record of achievements dur

pledges which the republican party

The difference in the cost of production
at home and abroad. We insist upon
maintaining the principles of protection
and therefore the rates of duty should
lie readiusted only when conditions
have so changed that public interests
demand their alteration; but this work
cannot safely be committed to any
other hands than those of the repubIi-
can party. To entrust it to the demo-
cratic party is to invite disaster.
Whether as IL, 1892, the democratic
party declared the protective tariff un-

object is always destruction Of the .ro-
