can National convention late this af-
ternoon. Senator Elihu Root said:
II thank you. beg you to believe
that | deeply appreciate this express
sion of your confidence.
"Haw, Haw. Haw!" came from the
floor OF the convention.
Cries from members OF the Penn
sylyania delegation brought a group
OF policemen in that direction.
The Sergeant called upon
the chief of police to restore order
in the front ranks OF the Pennsylvania
delegation. but Richard Quay put his
hand TO his mouth. and called out
Receiver OF stolen goods, while the
officers about him called for order.
Hundreds Quit Hall.
Root had hardly begun his speech
when hundreds Of spectators on the
floor and in the galleries noisily and
hurriedly left the hall. Root sus-
pended his speech, and asked ser
gsant-at-arms Stone to ask those who
wished to leave TO 60 at once. Thls
stone did.

AZ the table His voice could not be
heard half way down the hall AS

We need not despair OF American
institutions. With a record OF con-
sistent policy, faithful service, the
Republican party can rest with con-
fidence on its title TO command the
approyal OF the American people.
we have the right TO say that we
can be trusted 20 preserve and main
tain the American system of free and
representative government, handed
down to US by the fathers,
I'VE will maintain the power and
honor of the Nation, but will observe
those limitations which the constitu'
ion sets up for the preservation OF
local self-goyernment. This country
is SO large and the conditions I life
so varied. It will be intolerable TO
have local and domestic affairs In
nome communities which involve no
national right. controlled by maiori-
ties made by other states, thousands
of miles away or by officials OF the
oentral government.
The Republican party will uphold
al all times the authority and integ-
rity of the courts, state and Federla,
and will ever insist upon their powers
20 enforce their process and protect
life. and that liberty and prosperity
shall be preserved inyiolate."
Concluding at 1880 tonight, Root
was greeted with three cheers and
oontinued applause.
