Shall not these have honor In our
Land? Truth, sincerity, courage!
these underlie the fabric of our in
stitutions. Upon hypocracy and
sham, upon cunning and false pre-
tense, upon weakness and cowardice,
upon the arts of the demagogue and
the devices of the mere politician
no government can stand. No system
of popular government can endure in
which the people do not believe and
trust. Our President has taken the
whole people into his confidence. In
capable of deception, he has put aside
concealment. Frankly and without
reserve, he has told them what their
government was doing, and the rea-
sons. 1t is no campaign of appear
ances upon which we enter, for the
people know the good and the bad, the
success and and failure, to be credited
and charged to our account. 1t is no
campaign of sounding words and spe-
cious pretenses, for our President has
told the people with frankness what
he believed, and what he intended.
He has meant every word he said,
and the people have believed every
word he said, and with MIN this con-
vention agrees because every word
has been sound Republican doctrine.
No people can maintain free govern
ment who do not in their hearts val
ue the qualities which have made the
President of the United States con-
spicuous amcng the men of his time
as type of noble manhood. Come
what may here-come what may in
November, God grant that those quail
tiles of brave, true manhood shall
have honor throughout America, shall
be held for an example in every home,
and that the youth of generations to
come may feel that it is better than
wealth, or office, or power, to have the
honesty, the purity, and the courage
of Theodore Roosevelt.

our hearts go back to the friend-the
never to- be forgotten friend, whom
when last we met we acclaimed with
one accord as our universal choice to
bear a second time the highest honor
in the nations gift; and back still,
memory goes through many year of
Leadership and loyalty.
How wise and now skillful he was!
how modest and self-effacing! how
deep his insight into the human heart!
how swift the intuitions of his sym.
pathy! how compelling the charm Of
his gracious presence. He was so
unselfsh, so thoughtful of the happi-
ness of others, so genuine a lover of
his country and his kind And he was
the kindest and tenderest friend who
ever grasped another's hand. Alas,
that his virtues did plead in vain
against cruel fate!
Yet we may rejoice, that while he
lived ne was crowned with honor;
that the rancor of party strife had
ceased; that success in his great
tasks, the restoration of peace, the ap-
proval of his countrymen, the affec-
tion of his friend, gave the last quiet
months in his home at Canton repose
and contentment.
And with Mckinley we remember
Hanna with affection and sorrow-his
great lieutenant. They are together
