 FELLOW REPUBLICANS: In calllnS this convention to order l desire to
 coupratulate you on the fact that
 you belong to d party that has al- ways been safe and sane. .:rhe present democratic leaders aC-
 cuse their party of having recently
 been insane. They say the demo cratic party has become sane ms | is cer1ified to by Dr. Grover Cleve-
 land[.Dr. David B. Hill, pr. Rocks, ] felltr A-1lu DI- II SAAN GeAA
 was insane under the leadership of William !. Bryan is it not much more
 SD under the control of Grover Cleve- land, Hill and Belmont? There has
 never been d time in the history of this country under republican admin istration when the starving unem-
 ploved had to be fed at pubic soup houses. This occurred under the dd-
 ministrations of James Buchanan and Grover Cleveland, the great
 specialist on party insanity. we
 have had no CoXy's army since the
 close of Cleveland's administration
 The St. Louis convention adopted the same tariff platform on which Cleve- land was elected in 1S92. The result of that policy is known to all. Closed factories, labor unemployed,
 business paralyzed, in fact during the last democratic administration, the American people got about every thing that they didn't want. Con-
 trast the republican administration [ [ beginning in 1897, Cocy's army dls- | persed. labor employed at gooo :. wages, revived business and genera prosperity. In fact we belong to the

 tit the whole people, rich and poor : and leaves nothing undonc that l: | detrimental to the well being of tht 6 whole people.

The building of the cana r has been assured by the action O f that noble friend of the west wh If does things, Theodore Roosevelt.
