preViOent ol tlfo TjniteO. Stales. Today 1
hayotho further distinguished honor to
preside over the convention which is to
-nominate the next president of the United
States. This generation has had its ob
ject lesson and the doom of Democracy is
already pronounced. The American peo
ple will return the Republican party to
power, because they know that its admin
istration will mean:
Tho supremacy of the constitution of the
United States.
Tho maintenance of law.
The protection of every American citi
zen in his right to live, to labor and to
TOW.
"Vigorous foreign policy.
The enforcement of the Monroe doctrine,
The restoration of our merchant marine.
Safety under the Stars and Stripes, on
every sea, in. overy portion of tho world.
A rovenue adequot for all governmental
expenditures and the gradual extinguish
ment of the national debt.
A currency "as sound as the govern
ment and as untarnished as its honor,"
whose dollars, whether gold, silver or pa
per, shall have an equal purchasing and
dobt-paying power with the best dollars of
the civilized world.
A protective tariff which protects,
coupled with reciprocity, which recipro
cates by sosuring the best market for our
products, and opening American factories
to tho 'roe coinage of American muscle.
A'penslon policy just and generous to
our living heroes and to tho widows and
orphans of their dead comrades.
The governmental supervision and con
trol of transportation lines and rates.
The protection of tho people from all
unlawful combination and unjust action
of aggregated capital and corporated
power.
An American welcome to every God
fearing, liberty-loving, constitution-re
specting, law-abiding, labor-seeking de
cent man.
The exclusion of all whose birth, whose
blood, whoso condition, whose teaching,
"whoso practices would menace the per
manency of freo institutions, endanger
tho safety of American property or lessen
the opportunities of American labor.
Tho abolition of sectionalism every
star in the American flag shining for tho
honor and welfare and happiness of every
commonwealth, and of all the people.
A deathless loyalty to all that is truly
American and a patriotism eternal as the
stars.
No Point of His Speech Loit.
The punctuation of almost every sen
tence of his address was a period of
yells, round off with a fringe of manual
applause and stamping. Thurston is a
tall, slender, dark-faced, black nious
tached, spectacled, scholarly looking
man, but he wields a voice keyed for
the stump, every word reaching to
the farthest corner of the gallery.
SENATOR THURSTON.
25b point of his speech was lost upon
the assembly, but that which provoked
the most enthusiastic uproar was the
statement that he had presided over the
convention which nominated the last
Republican president, and was now ad
dressing that which vas to name the
next president.
The delegates rose aud waived their
hands, flags and handkerchiefs with a
prolonged cheer when Mr. Thurston,
finished. As tho demonstration ceased
a letter was read from J.
Henry Tort, chairman of the com
mittee on credentials, announcing
hat the committee would be unable
to report before noon. Thereupon Gov
ernor Bushnell of Ohio moved that the
convention take a recess until 2 o'clock.
The motion was carried with a roar and
at 11:23 Chairman Thurston declared
the convention in recess. The band
played "Yankee Doodle" as the crowd
found their way out of the hall.
Many changes have been made in the
seats of delegates in the convention
hall.. The officers of the convention
have arranged the seats in alphabetical
order according to states, some of the
delegates maintain their places and espe
cially those near the top of the list, but
beginning with Maryland the several
changes are numerous. Maine remains
as before, exactly in front of the
speaker's stand, Massachusetts takes
the seats immediately behind
them, and then follows Michi
gan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire,
Hew Mexico, Nevada, New Jersey,
crowding tho New York delegation far
back to the middle section. Oregon is
behind New York, also North Dakota.
Beginning with the third section.North
Carolina occupies the first, and all but
four seats of the second, which are al
lotted to Ohio, and will probably be oc
cupied by the big four from that state,
Poraker, Bushnell, Hanna and Grosve
vor. Pennsylvania occupies the seats
directly behind Ohio, and have not
beon changed but one row back. Yes
terday the Ohio delegation occupied the
front row of the third section.
j St. Louis, June 18. The third and
probably last day of the convention be
gan at 10:30, when in response to the
gavel's rap, tho delegates arose for
prayer. The officiating minister was
Dr. John R. Scott of Jacksonville, Ha.,
the second colored pastor who has con
ducted the devotional prelude. Al
though Dr. Scott's voice was a strong
jone, so great was the confusion of en
tering delegates and spectators it could
be told only from the movement of the
minister's lips that he was praying.
! Then the first opportunity for the del
egates to use their voices, fresh after a
night's rest, was afforded when Chair
man Thurston, without any preliminar
ies, plunged into business by announc
ing that the first thing on the program
was the report of the committee on res
olutions, and called for "Senator-elect
Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio."
Foraker Heads the Platform.
Senator Foraker crowded to the front
and climbed the steps to the stage while
the crowd sent up a shrill yell. The
platform which he began to read was,
with a few immaterial changes in its
Terbiage, the one telegraphed through
out the country on Tuesday night.
Senator Poraker adjusted a pair of spec
tacles upon his soldierly face and fur
nished for a moment the same dumb
.show of a man talking whichthe
V . V Jr I IMP ' I I I I
colored minister had given until crie3
of "Louder" and "Order" from the
galleries impelled him to a stronger
vocal effort. There was no opportunity
in reading the platform for the fiery
oratory with which the Ohio man has
often stiired the conventions of the
past. He wore a short alpaca jacket
and a black string tie, and was a much
less fashionable man than the delegates
from New York aud Massachusetts who
sat below him.
The audience and delegates followed
the reading with intense interest. The
reference to the administration of Ben
jamin Harrison evoked the first demon
stration, but louder still came the roar
when words of the platform pledged the
party again to the doctrine of protection
in the interest of American labor and
American industry. The reference to
the restoration of the policy of reciproc
ity as the twin brother of protection
also came in for a round of applause.
Protection to the sugar industry aroused
the Louisiana delegation to cheers, and
the merchant marine plank brought the
Maine, Maryland and Massachusetts
delegations to their feet with three
cheers.
Caused the Galleries to Participate.
The first sentence of the platform
pledging the party to sound money,
started a great uproar among the dele
gates on the floor, but the galleries did
not participate until unalterable opposi
tion to the free coinage of silver was
read. Then the delegates, led by Sena
tor Lodge and Colonel "W. A. Stone of
Pennsylvania, rose en masse. Fans,
canes and hats waved wildly until the
pit looked like a hurricane tossed sea,
and the galleries roared their approval.
For two minutes the tumult continued.
The mention of the "gold standard,"
while received enthusiastically by the
Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut and
New York delegations, did not arouse
such great enthusiasm.
Hawaii and the Monroe doctrine were
applauded, but the enthusiasm over the
Cuban plank was a genuine disappoint
ment. A very interesting incident oc
curred, however, in this connection.
As the plank was read, Colonel Fred
Grant, who sat on the platform with
the distinguished guests, arose and
wildly waved about his head the flag of
the Cuban revolutionists. The flag
was that presented by the Cuban junta
to James Creclman, the American cor
respondent, when he was expelled by
General "Weyler. There was something
particularly appropriate in Colonel
Grant's action, as it was largely owing
to the efforts of his father, General
Grant, that Spain was compelled to
make peace with the revolutionists in
the 10 years war.
Democracy and Populism was given a
good natured cheer and the motion
which Senator Foraker made to adopt
the platform was also cheered.
Set the Westerners Wild.
One of the crucial moments of the
convention was at hand. The chair
man announced that ho would recog
nize "tho mover of a substitute for the
majority report, the gentleman from
Colorado, Mr. Teller." The name of
Teller set the westerners wild. In little
scattering squads the handfuls of dele
gatious who had been sitting under the
oanners of Colorado, of Idaho, of Utah,
of Nevada, California and Montana, and
some of those from Tennessee and other
western and southern states, were on
their feet waving hats, flags, umbrellas,
fans, handkerchiefs, and shrieking like
madmen. The fire spread to the gal
Ieries and swept across them un
til they seemed to be tho most
unanimously carryiuc: the cheer. It was
an unusual division of enthusiasm
Down in the arena was little patches of
vocal fire, blazing in email spots hero
and there from a broad, dead? level, calm
field of eilonce. For two or three mi
nutes the uproar continued. Minutes
are long at such crises, each second
beats slowlv, so that the outburst seemed
to be a protracted cue,
Finally the western delegates so
ceesionists they perhaps might soon be
called tired of the work and sank back
to their seats. Then there fell over the
house a deep, profound calm, for hisr
tory was to be made, the political alle
giance of half a dozen states hung on
the moment and the whole assembly
recognized it. The people listened to a
man while the clerk proceeded to read
the substitute platform, as follows!
"We, tho undersigned members of the
committee on resolution , being unable to
agree with that portion of the majority
report which treats of the subjects of coin
ago and finance, respectfully submit tho
following paragraph as a subsl'tu.c there
for: The Republican party favors the use of
both gold and silver as equal standard
money, aud pledge? its power to secure
tho free, umestrictcd and independent
coinago of gold and silver at our mints at
the ratio of 16 parts of sliver to 1 of gold.
Teller a Striking Figure.
Senator Teller, as he stood on the
platform to make his final protest to the
Republican party against the adoption
of a gold standard policy, was a strik
ing figure. Tall and gaunt, ho wore
the old fashioned frock coat of
the old time statesman. His face is
deep furrowed with lines of thought,
and no one who beheld him doubted
his honesty of purpose.
It was not until toward tho close of
his speech that he became both impres
sive and pathetic. His review of his
long service jn the party visibly af
fected him. As he realized the
step he was about to take
he drew himself together for a final ap
peal and declared in an earnestness that
impressed all who heard him, that in
his opinion the morality, the religion
and the salvation of the country were
at stake. He spoke as follows:
Senator Teller's Speech.
Gentlemen of the Convention: "I
will not attempt to inflict upon you a
discussion of the great financial ques
tion which is dividing the people, not
only of this country, but of the whole
world. The few moments alloted to me
by the convention will not permit me
to more than state briefly our objec
tions to the financial plank proposed
for your consideration. I am a practi
cal man, and recognize the condition
in this country foreshadowed as they
are by the action of the committee.
This plank, presented to the whole
committee, and by it rejected. Loyalty
to my opinion and consideration of the
great interest which is felt in
this country, compels me, in the
face of unusual difficulties to present
this for your consideration, not with
that bounding hope, or with that cour
age, that I have presented this in other
bodies with greater measure of success
than I can hope for here. The local
and supreme importance of this ques
tion is alone my excuse now for" fb
words that I shall say to you. In con
nectionwith this subject in a public
capacity, I have dealt with it for 20
years. I represent a state that pro
duces silver, but I want to say to you
here and now that my advocacy of the
proposition is not in the slightest degree
influenced or controlled by that fact.
Applause and a voice, "Good."
"I contend for it because I believe
that there can be no sound financial
system in any country or in any world
that dees not recognize this principle. I
contended for it in 1878 when it was
ruthlessly stricken from our statutes
and since then there has been a contin
ued depreciation of all the products of
human labor and human energy. I
contend for it because in this year of
181)6 the American people are in greater
distress than they ever were in their
history. I contend for it because this
is, in my judgment, the great incubus
that has struck down enterprise and de
stroyed progress in this favored land of
ours. I contend for it because I believe
the progress of my country is
dependent upon it. I contend for
it because I believe the civilization of
the world is to be determined by the
rightful or wrongful solution of this
financial question. I am tolerant of
those who differ with me. I act from
my judgment and enlightenment as
best I have been able by my study and
my years of thought. In my judgment
the American people in the whole line
of their history have never been called
upon to settle a question of greater im
portance than this.
"I have said enough to show you that
I think this is not a question of policy,
but a question of principle. It is not a
mere nothing, but one on which hangs
the happiness, the prosperity, the mor
ality, und the independence of Amer
ican labor and American producers.
Applause.
"Confronted for the first time in this
party of ours by a financial system that
would, in my judgment, destroy all the
great interests in this land, we are
called upon to give this prinoiple in our
platform our adherence.
Had Jfo UnUInd Words.
"Mr. President, I do not desire to say
Unkind things- and I will touch only a
moment upon why I object to this pro
vision of this platform. The Republican
party has never been the party of a
Eingle standard. Applause. It was a
bimetallic party in its origin and
all its history. In 1888 it de
clared for bimetallism, in 1892 it
declared for bimetallism. In 189G
it declared for a single gold
standard. In 1888 we carried the state
that I here represent for the Repub
lican nominees, which was carried on a
bimetallio platform, "Wo carried it
with a majority that was equal, oonr
sidering our vote, to that of any state
in, the union. Faint applause. It
has been a Republican
hour of its admission,
the straight xoad and
state from the

Republican members.
Silver Men Approve.
"Mr. President, I promised you that
J would not discuss the silver question,
and I will not, except to say that this
platform is such a distinct; der
parture from everything here?
tofore held by the party that it
challenges our Republicanism to
accept it. The platform contains some
platitudes about international confer
ences. It provides that we will main
tain the gold standard in this country
until the principal nations of the world
shall agree that we may do otherwise.
This is the first great gathering of Re
publicans since this party was organized
that has declared the inability of the
American people to control their own
affairs. (All the silver delegates rose
in a body at this point and howled their
approval of the sentiments). Do you
believe that the American people are
tpo weak to actually maintain a finan
cial system commensurate with the
greatness of the country of their own
fruition?
"Gentlemen of the convention, you
would have a bimetallic agreement with
all the great commercial nations of the
world aud if cannot be obtained. So
this is a declaration that the gold
standard is to be put upon this country
and kept there for all time. Do you be
lieve that Great Britain, that greatcom
mercial nation of the world, our greatest
competitor jn trade, will ever agree to
open their mints to the free ppinage of
silver? Or consent that we shall
open ours as long as she has
the advantage of lower priced or de
clining values that have brought this
conptry by the adoption of a gold stand
ard in18?3 to a partial demonetization.
"We are the great debtor nation of the
world. Great Britain is the creditor.
"We pay her every year millions and
hundreds of millions of dollars as in
ppme in her investments in this country
on her loans. The gold standard, in my
judgment, lowers prices and deoroases
values. And she buys of us millions
and millions more than she sells. She
buys upon a gold standard at a lower
and depreciating standard. How long do
you tninK ig wouia do Deiore sue
would agree to assist in raising values
jn this country? It is a solemn declara
tion that the Republican party intends,
to maintain lower prices and stagnate
business for all time to come. Cheers
from the silver states. There is a
beautiful provision in this platform
about the tariff. I subscribe to that
applause and cheers from all over the
house. I believe in a protective tariff.
More applause. I have advocated it
for 40 years. Applause. But it is
my solemn conviction that a protective
tariff cannot be maintained upon a gold
standard. Applause and cheers from
the silver people.
"Mr. President, I ask your kind per
mission to say a few things, and wheq
I have said them, having told you what
my conscience demands that I shall do,
I shall leave this question for your con
sideration. Question pf Duty.
"Do you suppose that myself and my
associates who act with me and take
the same view of this question
that I do do you suppose that
we can isles tnis step witnouc ois-
tress? Do you suppose that we could
take it for any personal advantage or
any honor that could be conferred upon
it? It is a question of duty. You may
nominate in this convention any man
you choose. If you will put him on the
right kind of a platform I will vote
for him. You may take any method
to nominate him that you think proper,
I will abide your judgment and support
him; if the platform is right, but when
asked to surrender to you my principles
as an honest man, I cannot do that. I
realize what it wAJI cogt us.'
THE NOMINEES NAMED.

several candidates were presented

Sometimes quality is sacrificed in the
effort to give big quantity for little money.
No doubt about that.
But once in a while it isn't.
For instance, there's " BATTLE AX'
The piece is bister than vou ever saw
before for 5 cents. And the quality is, as
many a man has said, "mighty good."
There's no guess work in this statement.
It is just a plain fact.
You can Drove it bv investing 5 cents
in "BATTLE AX."
