+ address. Cannon was interrupted fire.
quently by applause. His thrusts at
the Democratic party, his references
TO the tariff and to the gold standard
and to the construction Of the rana
ma canal aroused enthusiasm
Mr. Cannon said in part as follows.
The Republican, party, under ybHr
leadership keeps its record from the
beginning under Lincoln of doing
things. the right thing at the right
Ptime and in the right way. notwith
standing the criticisms of those who
oppose the right policies from the sci
fish or partisan standpoint. They
dare not tell the truth about your of
fetal action or the record of the party
selfish or partisan reasons, abuse you
personally and misrepresent the pa'..s
ty which you lead. 1t is true, how
ever, that, so far, their abuse of your
actions and their alleged fear of your
personality is insignificant as compar
ed with the personal and partisan
carpings against Lincoln, Grant .i'.d
Mckinley when they were clo.hed |
with power by the people. These |
whose only grievance is that you have |
enforced the law and those who earn
for more partisan capital will not, in
my judgment, reap the harvest Of
success.
THE Republican party for you AMI
under your leadership appeals to the
great body of the people who live on
the sweat of their faces, make the civ
lization. control the republic, fight its
battles and determine its policies, for
and continuance in power.
THE office of president of the
Inited States is the greatest on earth
nd many competent men in the Re.
'ublican party are ambitious to hold
/, yet the Republican convention met
t Chicago June last and unanimously
With one accord, nominated you as
he candidate of the party for presi
ent. am sure all Republicans and
multitude of good citizens who do
ot call themselves Republicans, said
Amen
In pursuance of the usual custom
he convention appointed a commit
pc, of which 1t honored me with the
hairmanship. to wait upon YOU and
lform you of its action. which duty.
1eaking for the committee, now
heerfully perform, with the hope and
