DE LAPP, MARGARET-In loving mem
ory of MRS. MARGARET DE LAPP
who passed away one year ago today
January 6, 1888.
Remembrance is a golden chain
Death tries to break, but all in vain;
To have. to love. and then to part
Is the greatest sorrow of ones heart.
The years may wipe out many things.
But this they wipe our never
The memory of those happy days
When we were all together.

Hamilton Sends COP
Representatives DO
Maj. LyRnCla's Flz11ens al

publican candidates for the nomi
nation. Mr.. Lynch was nominal
ed by the Edmunds forces fol
temvorary chairma as Substi-
tute for the National Committee
recommendation.
Theodore Roosevelt, beginning
his national political career and
serving as Chairman of the New
York state delegation, took the
platform and urged the election
of Mr. Lynch in the following
statement:
Il trust that the motion made
by the gentleman from Massa-
chusetts (Mr .Lodge) viii be a
dopted, and that we will select
as chairman of this convention
that representative Republican,
Mr.. job r. Lynch, of Mississippi.
Mr.. Chairman, it has been said
by the distinguished gentleman
from Pennsylvania Mr. Stewart
that it is without precedent to
reverse theac alton of the Ma
tional Committee. Who has not
known of numerous instances
where the action of state COM
mittee has been reversed by the
state convention. Not one of us
but has known such instances.
Now there are, as l understand
it, but two delegates to this con-
vention who have seats on the
National Committee; and | ho,d
it to be derogatory to our honor
10 our capacity for self-govern-
merit, to say that we must ac-
cept the nomination of a pre-
siding officer by another body;
ard that our hands are tied. and
we dare not reverse its action It
is now, FIR. Chairman, less than
a quarter of century since, in
this city, the great Republican
party for the first time organic
ed for victory, and nominated
Abraham Lincoln of Illinois,
who broke the feters of the
slaves and rent them asunder
forever. 1t is a fitting thing to
do to choose to preside over this
convention one Of that race
whose right to sit within these
walls is due to the blood and the
treasure so lavishly spent by
the founders of the Republican
party. And it is but a further
vindication Of the principles for
which the Republican party so
long has struggled. trust that
thc Honorable John r. Lynch
vi J be elected Temporary Chair
man of this convention"
Mr.. Lynch was elected Tenn
porary Chairman over General
Powell Clayton, Of Arkansas, by
q majority Of 40 votes.
He was Auditor of the Treasu-
Try for the Navy Department
during the administration of
President Benjamin Harrison,
which covered the period from
1889 to 1898.
He was appointed Major Pay
