after Grant was there, and they
were naturally enthusiastic about
the great American hero. When
he went ava, said one of them
to me confidently, he kissed my

repeated this to the
general, he said, quietly, I kissed

Record of Doing Things.

The republican party, under your lead ershp, keeps It's record from the begin ming under Lincoln of doing things. the right thing at the right time and in the right way. notwithstanding the opposition of those who oppose the right policies, from the selfish or partisan standpoint They dare not tell the truth about your official action or the record of the party and then condemn 1t. They can for self ish or partisan reasons, abuse you per- sonally and misrepresent the party which you lead. It Is true, however, that, so far. their abuse of your action and their alleged fear of your personality is insig- nificant as compared with the personal and partisan carpings against Lincoln, Grant and Mckinley when they were clothed with power by the people,
 Those whose only grievance Is that you have enforced the law. and those who carp for more partisan capital, will not, in my judgment, reap the harvest of success. The republican party for you and under your leadership appeals to the great body of the people who live in the sweat of their faces. make the civil ization, control the republic. fight it's bat ties and determine It's policies, for ap- proval and continuance in power.
 The office of president of the United states Is the greatest on earth. and many competent men in the republican party are ambitious to hold it, yet the repub- lican convention met at Chicago June last and unanimously. with one accord nominated you as the candidate of the party for president. l am sure all repub- licans and multitude of good citizens who do not call themselves republicans said Amen"
 In pursuance of the usual custom, the convention appointed a committee, of which 1t honored me with the chairman ship, to walt upon you and inform you of its action, which duty. speaking for the committee, l now cheerfully perform, with the hope and the confident expecta- ton that a majority of the people of the republic will. in November next, approve the action of the convention by choosing electors who will assure your election to the presidency as your own successor.

CANNON PRAISES REPUBLICAN PARTY Country More Prosperous Than
 Ever Before ROOSEVELT IS CHAMPION Adroit Speech is Delivered at Oyster Bay Notifying the President of
 Nomination as Stand.
 ard Bearer.

Oyster Bay, July 27.-The speech of Speaker Cannon notifying President Roosevelt of his nomination, was as fol- lows:
 MT. President:
 The people of the United States by blood, heredity. education and practice, are a self-governing people. We have sometimes been subject to prejudice and embarrassment from harmful conditions. but we have outgrown prejudice and overcome conditions as rapidly as pos sihle, having due regard to law and the rights of individuals. We have some times made mistakes, from q false sense of security or from a desire 10 change pol icies instead of letting we'll enough alone, | merely to see what would happen, but we have always paid the penalty of unwise action at the ballot box and en- dured the suffering until, under the law, 1 through the ballot box, we have returned to correct policies.
 Tested by experience no nation has so successfully solved all problems and chos- en proper policies as our nation Under the lead of the republican party for over forty years, the United States, from be- ing third-class power among the na- tons, has become In every respect first. The people rule The people ruling, 1t Is necessary that they should be compe- tent to rule. Competency requires not only patriotism but material well-being education, statecraft.
 Our Manufacturers.
 The people. under the lead of the re- publican party, wrote upon the statute books revenue laws levying taxes up- on the products of foreign countries seek ing our markets which repienished our treasury but were so adjusted as to en- courage our people in developing diver sifylnB and maintaining. our industries, at the same time protecting our citi- zens laboring in production against the competition of foreign labor. Under this policy, our manufactured product today IS one-third of the product of the civil ized world, and our people receive almost double the pay for their labor that sim liar labor receives elsewhere in the world. thereby enabling us to bear the burdens of citizenship.
 Liberal compensation for labor makes liberal customers for our products. Un- der this policy of protection, our home market affords all our people a better market than has any other people on earth, and this, too, even If we did not sell any of our products abroad In ad- oition to this, we have come to be inc greatest exporting nation in the world. For the year ending the 3oth of .June, i9o4 our exports to foreign countries were valued at s1, 460, GOO 900 of which s450 Wo'Voo were products of the factory. The world Tell In our debt last year $40 GOO GOO an increase of H5,OOo,00O over the preced- ing year.

Policy of Protection.

ms policy Of protection has always been opposed by the opponents of the re- publican party and is opposed by them today. In their last national platform. adopted at St. Louis. they denounce pro- lection as robbery. They never have been sNeh power but they proceeded by word ana act to destroy the policy of protec- ton. Their platform Is as silent as the grave touching the gold standard and our currency system. Their chosen leader after his nomination, having been as si- lent as the sphynx up to that time. sent his telegram, saying in substance that the gold standard Is established, and that he will govern himself accordingly if he should be elected.
 l congratulate him It ia better to he right late than never. It is better to be right in one thing than wrong in all things. l wonder If 1t ever occurred to him that If his vote and support for his partys candidate in 1896 and 1900 had been decisive we you'd now have the silver standard. l wonder what made him send that telegram after he was nominated and why he did not send it before? When did he have change of heart and judge ment? And does he at heart believe in the gold standard and our currency sys- tenn, or does he try now to reap where he has not sown? If, perchance he should be elected by forcing together discordant elements, l submit that, with a demo- cratic house of representatives or house and senate, there would be no harmon ious action in legislation or administra- tion that would benefit the people, but that doubt and dscontent would every where distress production and labor. Con- sumption would be curtailed. In short, we would have an experience similar to that from 1893 to 1897. If this chosen leader and his friends are converts to republican policies, should not they "bring forth fruits meet for repentance" before they ask to be placed in the high est positions to affect the well-belng of all; or. if they profess all things to all men, then they are not worthy the con fidence of any man. If clothed with power will they follow In the paths of legislation according to their loves and votes as manifested by their action al- ways heretofore, or will they stand by, protect and defend the gold standard and our currency system that have been cre- ated under the lead of the republican

Depends on Majority.

Correct revenue laws, protection or free trade, the gold standard and our curren- cy system all depend upon the sentiment of the majority of our people as voiced at the ballot box. majority may change our revenue laws; a majority may change our currency laws majority may de- stroy the gold standard and establish the silver standard; or. in lieu of either or both, make the treasury note, non-inter- est-bearing and irredeemable, the sole standard of value
 Sir let us turn from the region of doubt | and double dealing, the debatable land, to the region of assured certainty. The republican party stands for protection. It stands for the gold standard and our currency system. All these dwell in leg islation enacted under the lead of the republican party and against the most determined opposition of the democratic party, including its leader and candi- date. These being our policies, and hav- ing been most useful to the country, we have confidence in and love them.
