Chairman cannon's Address.

Chicago, June 22.-Speaker Cannon
of Illinois, upon being escorted to the
chair as the permanent chairman OF
the convention. made the following ad'
dress:
The republican party was born
with the declaration that slavery was
sectional and that freedom was nation
al. 1t has ever been a nationa' party
it's policies benefting every section
and every man in the republic. 1t
made its first successful contest for
power in 1860, with Abraham Lincoln
as its standard bearer. Secession fol.
lowed. The war for the maintenance
of the union was waged for four years
and such a contest of arms the world
had never seer before and perhaps
will never see again. In the end slav-
cry was abolished and freedom became
universal within the borders of the re-
public. With a bankrupt treasury I'M
der the direction of Lincoln, the party
went back to the policy Of Washing
ton and wrote upon the statute books
the revenue laws imposing duties on
imports that would produce eve
nue. and at the same time pro-
tect every citizen of the United States
in deversifying the industries of the re-
public. 1t was a contest for free men
and free labor everywhere within our
borders. The policy of protection has
been the shiboleth Of the republican
party from that day to this. Under
this policy We have become the first
nation in agriculture and manufacture.
More than one-third OF all the manu-
featured articles in the world are pro-
duced by American capital, by Ameri-
can labor, which works shorter hours
than any people on earth, has more
steady employment than any people
on earth and on the average receives
and three.fourths dollars compensa-
ton when such labor elsewhere re-
ceives one dollar"
Mr.. Cannon then went into detail of
economics of country. it's excellence as
to home market. stating that In 1850,
the wealth per capita in United States.
was 1907 while in 1900, 1t was $1.235.
And while in 1860, the total wealth of
the country was 1 5000, 900 900 it was
now over the hundred billion of dol
lars mark. He then spoke Of the won
derful increase of the postal service
under the management Of the republi-
can party. mentioning the free rural
delivery system, now in vogue and de-
failing the immense revenue received
from this branch of the government.
He said strikes were the results OF a
season of profits, and told of the trust
bursting campaign OF President Roose'
welt. He then gave a general resume
of the work of the republican party
since the nomination of William Nc
| Kinley In 1900 and referred to the das'
tardly assassination of the beloved
president, and the war with Spain, the
| Philippine question, the Panama ca
nal, the arbration of the famous Penn
~sylvania coal strike and the decision
arrived at by the supreme court tina,
the trusts are amenable to the law
He ended his speech by saying:
Let us make our nominations in order
and appeal to the people Of the coun
try for renewal Of power to the repub
lican party, standing by our policies

to arrange for the distribution and for warding of the supplies to the troops at once, Robert Morris to send 8 report to the congress, which had retreated to Baltimore upon the approach of Howe and Cornwallis through the Jer- seys, and Seymour and Talbot back to the ship to make necessary arrange ments for their departure.
 Seymour shortly afterward turned the command of the Mellish over to the officer MT. Morris designated as his successor, and Talbot delivered his schedule to the officer appointed by General Putnam to receive 1t. Refus. ing the many pressing invitations to stay and dine or partake of the other bounteous hospitality of the townspeo- pie, the young men passed the night quietly with Seymour's aunt, his only relative, and at o'clock on Christmas morning, accompanied by Bentley and Talbot they set forth upon their long, cold ride to Washington's camp, ride which was to extend very much far ther, however, and be fraught with greater consequences than any of them dreamed of as they set forth with sad hearts upon their journey.

lated the saintly looking man; these are the horrors of war;" and then turn ing to the multitude, he said: Gentle men, people and friends, 1t is Christ mas eve. We have our usual services at Christ church sn a short time. Shall we not then return thanks to the Giver of all victory for this signal manifes- tation of his providence at this dark hour, and at the same time pray for our bereaved friends, and also for the widows and orphans of those of our enemies who have been so suddenly brought before their Maker? I do ear nestly invite you all to Gods house in his name"
 The chime of old Christ church ring ing from the steeple near by seemed to second in musical tones, the good mans invitation as he turned and walked away followed by a number of the citizens of the town. General Putnam, however, engaged Talbot in conversation about the disposition of the stores, while Robert Morris con tinued his inquiries as to the details of the cruise with Seymour The perilous situation of the shattered American army was outlined to both of them, and Talbot received orders, or permission rather, to report the cap ture of the transport to General Wash ington the next day. Seymour asked permission to accompany him, which was readily granted.
 "If you do not get captains com mission for this, MT. Talbot" con- tinued Putnam as they bade him good night, T shall be much disappointed" l"
 "And if you do not find captains commission also waiting for you on your return here, Lieutenant Seymour, I shall. also be much surprised added Robert Morris.
 Give my regards to his exce1lency and wish him merry Christmas from me, and tell him that he has our best hopes for success in his new enter prise. I will detach 600 men from Philadelphia tomorrow to make a di- version in his behalf," said the general.
 "Yes." continued Robert Morris, "and ! shall be obliged, Lieutenant Seymour, if you will call at my house before you start and get small bag of money which shall give you to hand to Gen. eral Washington, with my compli- ments. Tell him 1t Is all I can raise at present and that I am ashamed to send him so pitiable a sum, but If he will call upon me again I shall, trust, do better next time'

W-intere clothes, blankets, shoes. Colo nel Seaton and three officers and fifty men of the Seaforth highlanders and their baggage, all en route for Que bec," said Talbot promptly.
 The crowd was one seething mass of excitement. Robert Morris turned about and, lifting his hat from his head, waved it high in the air amid frantic cheers. Putnam and his off, cers and the other gentlemen of the committee of congress seized the hands of the two young officers in hearty congratulation.
 "But there is something still more to tell" cried Mir. Morris-''your ship, her battered and dismantled condi- ton, the rents in the sails! You were chasedY
 ''Yes sir replied Seymour, land ever, through narrow channel ex- tending across Georges shoal, off Cape Cod, with which was familiar. And the English ship, pursuing recklessly, ran upon the shoal in gale of wind and was wrecked, lost with all on board"
 'Is it possible, sir-is 1t possible? Did you find out the name Of the ship?"
 Yes, sir; one of our seamen who had served aboard her recognized her. She was the Radnor, thirty-six guns"
 That's the ship that Lord Dunmore is reported to have returned to Europe in," said MT. Clymer, another member of the committee. A shudder passed over the two young men at this con Grmation of their misiortunes. Sey- mour continued with great gravity:
 "We have reason to believe that some one else in whom you have deeper in terest than in Lord Dunmore was on board of her-Colonel Wilton, one of our commissioners to France, and his daughter also. They must have per ished with the rest"
 There was a moment of silence as the full extent of this calamity was made known to the multitude, and then a clergyman was seen pushing his way nearer to them.
 What! Mir. Seymour! How do you that all the company of that English ship perishedg"
 Yes, pr. White.'
 And Colonel Wilton and his daugh- ter alsoy'
 "Alas, yes sir!''
 T fear that it is as our young friend says" added Robert Morris gloomily. T remember they were to go with Dunmore."

 Now, s.rs," cried the general officer to the two men who had stepped out on the wharf, what ship is that? We are prepared for good news, seeing those two flags, and the Lord knows we need it."
 "That is the transport Mellish, sir; prize of the American Continental ship Ranger, Captain John Paul Jones'"
 "Hurrah! Hurrahp' cried the crowd, which had eagerly pressed near to hear the news.
 Good, good!' replied the general. '1 congratulate you. How is the Ran ger?"
 We left her about 100 leagues off Cape Sable about a week ago. She had just sunk the British sloop of war Juno, twenty-two guns, after q night action of about forty minutes. We left the Ranger bound for France and ap- parently not much injured.''
 What, what! God bless me, young man, you don't mean it! Sunk her, did you say, and in forty minutes2 Gen tlemen, gentlemen, do you hear that2 Three cheers for Captain John Paul Jonesv'
 Just then one of the committee of congress and evidently its chairman, man whose probity and honor shone out from his open, pleasant face, inter- rupted:
 "But tell me, young lieutenant Seymour of the navy, is 1t not? Ah, thougEE so. What is her 1ading2 Is 1t the transport we have hoped for?"
 "Yes, sir. Lieutenant Talbot here has her bills of lading and her mani fest also"
 Where Is it, MT. Talbot?" interrupt ed the officer. "Let me see it, sir. I am General Putnam, in command of the city"
 The general took the paper in his ea- gerness, but as he had neglected to bring his glasses with him he was un- able to read it.
