the name of Branard H. Warner. Col.
Pearre's only opponent. after d vote had

CATION. made strong and effective
speech. counseling harmony and pledginE
| the support of his father and Mr.. War
ner's friends in electinS the ticket from
| top to bottom.
The only ripple in the proceedings was
caused by the remarks of A. A. Brad
dock of Montgomery, who openly stated
he was opposed to Col. Pearre's renomi-
| nation. and also to that of Secretary Taft.
The objection to the representative was
evidently based on an alleged failure to
properly recognize Montgomery in the
distribution of offices. and against Secre-
tary Taft because of a fancied grievance
on the part of the typographical union
at Washington. No other delegate from
Montgomery made a direct objection. W.

tirely to the fitness of his candidate for
the position.

The republicans of the sixth district
OF Maryland. in convention assembled.
hereby congratulate their fellow-citizens
| of the whole country upon the wise. just
| and stateslnanike administration of our
brilliant and courageous President. Theo-
dore Roosevelt. and hereby register our
unqualified Endorsement of the same. We
| believe that in every public act he has
| been actuated by fair. impartial and pa
| triotic motives to so administer the af-
| fairs of the government of the United
States as to make all men stand equal
| before the law. without fear or favor
In 1888 the republicans OF this congress
! sional district for the first time named
! George A. Pearre their candidate for
Congress. He was elected. took his seat
| in the Fifty-fifth Congress and has been
| returned to each successive Congress
since: During those ten years the ma
| tional administration has been under the
| control of the republican party. and the
! record Of its achievements in that decade
is almost without parallel in the history
| Of this government History will require
volumes to record the events of the Mex in
| ley and Roosevelt administrations. which
have marked the progress of this country
| until it has now reached the foremost
| position among the nations of the world.
1T is therefore a matter of great pride
| to the people of this district that
| representative had a prominent part in
| these triumphs for the welfare of our
| country. and that those two great Pres-
| dents could rely upon and never failed to
j receive the loyal and able support OF him
| whom we will again nominate today.
| AT each successive congressional cleo
| tion since his first entrance into Congress
| he has been returned by the people of
| this district by increasing majorities. and
| this fact Is of itself the highest tribute
| to his ability, integrity. loyalty and de-
votion 10 the people of this district and
| the welfare of the country.
The experience and knowledge of af-
fairs acquired by Col. Pearre in the ten
years of his service in the House
of Representatives emphasize his fitness
for public life and demonstrate the wis
dom OF again returning him to Congress.
so that he may continue his good work
for the public veal and add additional
| luster to the brilliant reputation already
gained by him. and also reflect greater
credit upon the sixth congressional dis
| trct of Maryland, which he has so faith
| fully represented. and whose work in be-
half of matters of legislation for the
brave defenders of the Union We espe
cialy commend.
I'VE hereby indorse the faithful admin
istration by Hon. William II. Taft of such
public affairs as have come within his
province as Governor of the Philippine
Islands and as Secretary of War, and on
! account of our admiration of his ability,
| fidelity to public duty and eminent quail
| fcations for the high office of President
of the United States. we hereby declare
ourselves unreservedlt in favor of his
nominate as President of the United
States by the republican national con-
| vention. to meet in Chicago June IL, 1898,
| and hereby instruct and direct the dele
gates selected by this convention to rep
resent the republican party of the sixth
| nSreSsional district of Maryland in said
| national convention to vote for the nom
| nation OF the Hon. William II. Taft as
the republican candidate for President
| until the said William II. Taft receives
the nomination of said convention for
| the office of President of the United
| States. or has been clearly and unques-
| tionably defeated therefor.

Protest From Montgomery.
| IHeSe feSOlutioNS were ABOUT 10 ne
| adopted when \. A. Braddock of Mont
gomery objected to the section approx
, ing the course of Col Pearre. which he
said was unsatisfactory to Montgomery
! county. He also protested against the
adoption of that indorsins Secretary Taft
| There was evidence of disapproval from
| all sections of the hall but no demon
stration of any marked character nor
were any other remarks made and the
| resolutions were adopted without division
| 1t was at this point that w. Tyler rage
sought to introduce another resolution
but unanimous consent was required. and
as Charles W. Adams of Washington OBJ
| iected to its consideration. it was re-
| ferred to the committee without being
| read.
The resolution which Mr.. Page sought
| to offer attacked critics of the Supreme
| Court of the United States. some of the
delegates thought the resolutions foreign
| to the work before the convention and
might be misconstrued Hence. the re-
| fusal TO give it consideration.
