TRIBUTE BY FAssETT
Taft knows the problems confronting this
nation at the present time and he knows the
people. He is no dark horse. In every official
station he has discharged his duty with brlli-
stainless and unconquerable. The Republican
party did not need a platform for Taft TO stand
on, but the platform of the Republican platform
is strong enough TO hold him.
Next TO Taft comes the son of our own state.
the candidate for Vice President. He has been
found true and not wanting. He is as clean as
hounds tooth. He is the best parliamentarian
in Congress to-day. He is splendid Con
gressman and we are sorry to lose him, but he
is a good man for the Vice-Presidency, and that
is where we are going to put him.
Mr.. Parsons briefly referred TO the noble quail
tiles of Mr.. Cleveland in presenting the reso-
luton printed elsewhere saying that while he
not a Republican he possessed traits which
universally recognized admirable. The
adoption of the resolutions on Mr.. Cleveland
was the last official act of the meeting, which
adjourned out of respect to him.
Robert II. Fuller, secretary to the Governor
sent telegram saying that the Governor re-
gretted his inability to be present at the meet
ing.
