selves. Wa have only to select his running

tha cohorts of a distracted, distempered'
and dismembered democracy. '
Our democratic friends fa this year of
grace are destined to be mora Idle dream
era and only seers of visions. Dissentients,
they lack faith and have no Issue. Why,
just now thay are trying to let go of tha
'Orator ' of the Platte-7 and his fustian
"Cross of Gold." They now say that free
liver U dead because tha Almighty put
too much gold In the lap of Old Mother
Earth. Forsaking; their traditions, they ao
longer champion free trade. They clamor
only for a republican revision of the Ping
ley tariff. Ha It come to this, that with
Chamberlain ef England they are at last
openly become protectionists? They now
seem really anxious to keep tha American
nag where It Is. reg-ardleea and unmindful
of whether tha constitution follows ths
fas; or tha Has; follows tha constitution.
Truly, can any good thing; ooma out of

It la unthinkable that at the vary threshold
of our world-work tha American citizen
wtll again ax peri ment and imperil our all
by turning over tha rains of government
to an Inconstant, Incapable and Inert de
mocracy. To fulfill the republic's mighty
destiny, the guiding, shaping, controlling
spirit must and will be tha republican
party.
Obeying; a mandate both pleasing and

Prolonged applause greeted the 'appear

delegate from Maryland.
Mr. Cummlng made friendly with his
hearers In his opening; remark, that he
bad been admonished to be brief and In
tended to obey that advice. Ha said:
Mr. Chairman. Fellow Delegates of ths
Republican National Convention, Ladles
and Gentlemen: For the dletlngulshed honor
of seconding the nomination of that grand
type of the American cltisen, Theodore
Roosevelt, I am profoundly grateful.
"Br their fruits ve shall know them
Theodore Roosevelt brings to his party and
the nation at the close of his administra
tion the precious fruits of three years' able
and faithful service. The solemn promise
made by him when gloom and distress
o'ershadowed the nation, when stout hearts
grew faint, when fears and misgivings
were abroad in the land, when the nation
bowed in tears for her fallen hero, that
promise made at a moet trying time In our
country's life, has been kept to the letter,
and he brings as an evidence of such the
Slans and purposes of his martyred pre
eceesor fully developed and completed.
Ho Is above all things a true, honest, earn
est, patriotic American cltlien . He Is a
leader of unflinching courage a man of
wisdom a man or action, tie is open ana
frank, free from Intrigue or concealment.
In his life and walk and conduct he stands

oppressed, and with strong and ready arm
encircling tha weak and helpless he bids
them rise and hope and live.
With his nomination and election what an
Inspiring prospect opns up before the party
end the nation. With it will come new
efforts to promote a greater prosperity,
and a larger measure of happiness to all
who dwell within our borders.
With It will come that calm and peaceful
assurance that while prosperous, happy and

And that mission will not be performed
until every section of our constitution and
every amendment merooi snaji do re

cltisen of every section, of every race and

grand chorus of that constitution, "Thou

to reach that time, it may ever nave a man
to place before the American people for

A real ovation was given Mr.. Cummins
as he closed after a. few moments. Mr,
Cannon then advanced to the. front of
the platform and at 1:09 announced tha roll
call for nominations for - president.'
Tha clerk began calling tha roll by "states.
When Alabama responded with, her. entire
vote for Roosevelt, there was a cheer. As
tha states followed .In .alphabetical order
and 1 each response -ended with the ..words
Theodore Roosevelt," the cheers .were re
peated. Wanted to Hear Roll Call.
- An effort was made by New Jersey to
suspend further calling of the ' roll, but
tha convention protested loudly. Senator
Piatt of New York had been on his feet to
make the announcement for his state, and
when his state; was icalled next, tha con
vention became enthusiastic : At the an

Roosevelt had received tha entire vote fo
of the convention, 9M. and It only re
mained for him to announce his nomination
for the presidency, by . .the republican
parry, . . ; r ' ! 1
. The enthusiasm, following, the announce
ment of , tha chairman was .of , ta much
briefer duration than that which followed
jthe first cal, the sheers not lasting; over
two minutes, Mr. Cannon than . an

"Tha dark will ' call ' tha roll " for the
presentation of candidates for vice presi
dent." "Alabama," called tha clerk.
Mr. Hundley of Alabama, as before on
tha presidential roll, announced that his
state desired to waive Its right in favor
of tha state of Iowa.
This meant Senator Poltlver," who was
to deliver the nominating speech. In favor
of Senator Fairbanks of Indiana.
Mr. Dolllver mounted tha platform and
said In part:
Gentlemen of the Convention: The na
tional republican convention, now nearly
ready to adjourn, has presented to the
world a moral spectacle of extraordinary
Interest and significance. It is a fine thing
to sea thousands of men, representing mil
lions of people, . fighting In the . political
arena for their favorite candidates and
contending valiantly for the success of
contradictory principles and conflicting doo
trlnes. Out of such a contest, with Its noise and
declamation. Its flying banners, its thunder
of the captains and ths shouting, the truth
often secures a vindication and the right
man cornea out victorious. Sometimes,
however, wisdom U lost In ths confusion
and more than . one we have seen the
olalms of leadership swallowed up In con
tention and strife.
We have the honor to belong to a con
vention whose constituency. In every state
and territory, and In the Islands of the
sea, has dona Its thinking by quiet fire
sides, undisturbed by clamor of any sort,
and .has si m pi 1 Hod our responsibilities by
the. unmistakable terms of the credentials
which we hold at their hands.
Ws stand at the beginning of a new era,
and while the republican party leans upon
ths counsel of Its old leaders. It has not
hesitated to summon to the responsibili
ties of house life the young men who have
been trained under their guidance to take
up the burdens which they are ready to
lay down and finish- the work whloh eomea
to them as an Inheritance of patriotism
and duty. This Is' the significance of the
nomination of Theodora Roosevelt and that
Is the explanation of the call which has
been made by tha republican party without
a dissenting voice upon Charles W. Fair
banks to stand by tha side of tha president
In the guidance and leadership of tha re
publican party.
While be has not sought to constrain tha
Judgment ot the convention, directly or in
directly, he has kept himself free from the
affection which undervalues the dignity of
the second offloe In ths gift of tha American
people and I do not doubt that his heart
Las been touched by the voluntary expres
sion of 'universal good wtll whloh has al
ready chosen him as one of the -standard
bearers of tha republican . party of the
United States.
Tha offloe has sought the man and he
will bring to tha office tha commanding
personality of a statesman equal .to any
of the great responsibilities which belong
to our public affairs. A leader of the
senate, the champion of all the great pol
icies which constituts ths Invincible record
of tha republican party during the last tsn
years, his name will become a tower of
strength to our cause, not ouly In his own
state, but everywhere throughout the
country. A man of affairs the whole busi
ness community shares tha confidence
whloh his political associates have reposed
In him from tha beginning of his publlo life.
The quiet. undemonstrative, popular
opinion which has given- tha republican
party a platform upon which all republic
ans can stand with no dissenting voice,
here or anywhere, has long since antici
pated - tha aotion of thla convention In
adding to the national republican ticket
the ium of Senator Fairbanks of Indiana.
I take pleasure In presenting his name,
honored everywhere throughout the United
States, as our candidate for vloe presi
dent.. .
leaatar Dapew tceda.
When the applause subsided Mr. Cannon
recognised Senator Depew, whoaa appear
anea on tha platform with Chairman Can
non grasping his hand -was tha Inspiration
for an outburst of applause,
"I Introduce, although It Is not neces
sary," began Mr. Cannon, "not Senator,
but Chauacey Depew of New Tork."
A voice cried, "Have you had your din
ner?" "I ant about to say something about
tha dinners of the American people," re
turned tha senator.
IBs speech- was In second of rha nomina

Now, gentlemen. It Is my privilege. In

(prolonged applause ana cneers.;
Ha concluded with a second to tha nomi
nation of Senator Fairbanks, saying not
enough Importance had been given the vice
presidential question. Chairman Cannon
demanded order to Introduce Senator For-
aker of Ohio, whose seconding speech for
Senator Fairbanks evoked a warm tribute
from tha convention.
Governor Pea y packer Talks.
Mr. Cannon introduced Governor Penny-
packer of Pennsylvania, ana the conven
tion cheered him.' He said:
Pennsylvania may well claim to be the
leader imoni reDubllcan states. The Drtn-
clples which ars embodied in the platform
ot tne parry as we nave aunpiea u ars me
results of tha teachings of her scholars
and statesmen. Her majorities with nom
inees of that party are greater and mora
certain than those of any other state. Since
tha election of Abraham Lincoln In I860, she
has never given an electoral vote against
a candidate of the republican party for
the presidency. She Is unselfish in her de
votion, t 1
During tha period of half a century that
has gone, no son of hers has been either
president or vice president.
The waters of the Ohio, raising in ths
mountains of Pennsylvania, roll westward,
bearing fertility and men to the prairie
land of Indiana. The thought of Pennsyl
vania turns with kindred feeling toward
the state which has produced Oliver P.
Morton, Benjamin Harrison and ths brave
Hooelers who fought alongside of Reynolds
on ths Oak ridge at Gettysburg. ,
She well remembers that when her own
asnator, he who did so much for the repub
lican party, and whose wise counsels, alas,
ars missing today, bora a commission to
Washington, he had no more sincere sup
porter than - the able' and distinguished
statesman who then, as he does now, rep
resented Indiana in the United States sen
ate. Pennsylvania, with ths approval of
her judgment and with glad anticipation of
victory . in her heart, following a leader
who, like the Chevalier of France, Is with
out fear and without reproach, seconds the
nomination for the rice ' presidency of
Charles W. Fairbanks of Indiana.
In Introducing Senator Carter ot Montana
Chairman Cannon said: "I have introduced
four of a kind. Strange to relate, here's a
fifth aos Tom Carter of Montana." The
whole convention laughed. Senator Carter

Omaha Maa Tells of New Vice Presi

Senator Fairbanks of Indiana, who has
Just received the republican vice presi
dential nomination, la not known person
ally to a great many Omahang, but among
those In the city who have met him Is
John Q. Burgner. - Samuel Rathbone, su
perintendent of the rural delivery, is a
friend. Speaking of Senator Fairbanks,
Mr. Burgner said:
1 "I have never had any close Intimacy
with . Senator Fairbanks. Like a great
many other smart, as well as ordinary
men, he is a native of Ohio, being born
