Ho reminded the convention thnt ho alone wns respon sible , and that If ho had erred in his net of clemency to a man convicted of embezzlement , the fault must rest with himself and not with the Repub lican party of the state. Following the governor's statement the debate on the concluding para graph of the resolutions began in ear nest and for an hour furnished the only real excitement of the conven tion. The speeches were marked by considerable bitterness. In which Gov ernor Savage wns not entirely spnred While his nctlon wns warmly defended by a number who credited him with only the best motives , the convention placed the stamp of disapproval on the parole , and by a vote of 998 to 1G8 adopted the platform as a whole.

Temporary Chairman Starts Conven tion With Keynote Address. Temporary Clmlriniin Baker said In part : "Mr. Chnlrmnn nnd Follow Republic- nnn : I feel It nn honor to preside over your temporary deliberations , "Tho echo nnd reverberation of a vnllnnt victory nro Htlll lingering In the distance , preparing , reluctantly , to give way to another tidal wave of Re publican supremacy , "Our Btnto officers nro giving us a eplendld administration. "Under the aurfaco of the dark cloud of seeming , deadlock and dissension , no earnestly hoped for by the enemy , thnt for BO long a time hung over our lout legislature , thcro was the proverb ial silver lining. "Tho great Htalwnrt leadcrfl , who by their ability and good work made It posHlblo to have a Republican legisla ture and had earned the high honor which their thotmandH of friends and admirers demanded for them and re fused to recede , magnanimously with drew their names from the senatorial contest nnd requested their friends to elect two good and tried Republicans to the United States senate , nnd they did It. These self-same wnr-scaned veterans of the old party arc now seen In the foremost rank fighting with their old-llmo vigor nnd ability for the success of the party. " \Vo are once more represented In the United States senate by two stal wart Republicans , who will ably sco to the Interests of our state nnd of our party. One young , able , vigorous and untiring , n new star In the political firmament that will grow brighter and brighter , the other 'to the manor born , ' strong In presence , ripe In experience and rich In culture. Wo made wise so-1 I lection of our candidates for our last year's fight and were rewarded with victory. | "It behooves every Republican to lay aside his personal ambition and choices and to forget all past differ- ) cnces. 'Let the dead past bury Its dead , ' and for the love of the old party and Its principles , for Ita achievements and Itn loyalty to the people , nnd Its patriotism , let us forget - ' get all cliques and factions , wherever' ' existing , and put our shoulder to the wheel and push with ail our might for the good of humanity , unmindful of our neighbor pusher , whether he pushes hard or not , or whether ho pushes for hope of reward or love of party. With the harmonious and judicious termina tion of our snnntorlnl contest , anil with all the senatorial aspirants vigorous for party success , victory awaits the nominees of this convention. National Issues. "Representative Patterson of Ten nessee says If the Democratic party 'makes the contest lu 1904 on the Is sues of trusts and the tariff , we will win. ' This seems to bo the sentiment of the Issue hunters of the Democrat ic party. What a lamentable condi tion It would bo , for the stability of ' the greatest nation In the world , to depend upon n party that seoUs , yearly , for new and untried principles of po litical economy to manage Its ship of state. "On the question of tariff the Re publican party Is at homo , nnd the prince of Napoleons on this economic principle occupies the highest place In the gift of our nation and has built for himself a monument In the hearts of the American people that Is as en during as history. "What kind of explanation the Dem ocrats will make for their action on the bill introduced In the Fifty-third con gress to amend the constitution , authorizing ' thorizing the federal government to regulate Interstate commerce and in terstate business , after all but six of the members In congress voted against It , Is something that no man can toll. The Republican party has been and is the party of progress ; it has fostered and cncon | ed all kinds of wholesome Industries. In the on ward march of progress gigantic busi ness organizations have grown beyond all expected proportions. Corpora tions , syndicates and trusts have taken root in the fertile soil of Republican prosperity. The Republican party has ; , ' proclaimed , and it shall be , that these great plants shall not interfere with the husbandry of the American people In the great field of Industry. Their appearance was hailed with delight. "The tact and task of controlling nnd regulating these great combines Is a work that calls for the great-1 est of skill , brains and honesty. The hysterical and partisan cry of 'trusts' , and 'oppression' avails naught. The right to combine brains and capital for the furtherance of commerce no one would question , so long as It does not conflict with our form of govern ment and does not oppress our people , and when It does , then the great strong arm of the government must reach out and cause a halt. Wealth cannot prosper without labor and labor cannot llvo without capital. "Tho great factories , the thousands of miles of railroad , the endless wire of telegraphy and like Institutions wo cannot ami would not do without. To promote nnd build nnd operate these marvelous enterprises necessitates the centralization of cnpltrt nnd brains. "Would you prevent these great or ganizations ? Would you retard their unparalleled and most marvelous ad vancement , produced by centralization of capital ? Would you cripple the great co-partnerships and corporations that give employment to thousands of men nnd women ? No. Let the great march of progress continue nnd let the grand old party have votes enough In congress to pass needful laws to con trol nnd regulate these great corpora tions and trusts , by whatever name they may be known , and they will be so controlled that the humblest laborer will be protected In all bis rights and earnings and the corporations neither uprooted cor jeopardized. " ' Disaster on Steamer Trenton , Near Philadelphia , TAKES FlfiE AND RUNS AGROUND. ( Steam Pipe and Then Boiler Burst , i Blowing Up the Vessel , Which Be- I comes a Pyre Passengers Leap for I i Their Lives Several Are Missing. I Philadelphia , Aug. 29. While the steamer City of Trenton was on her way Irom this city to Trenton yester day her port boiler exploded , killing eleven persons and Injuring over a score of others.

Chow , assistant en gineer ; Miss Elizabeth Green ; two Dromon ; one deckhand , and tlx pas- fcongcrn , names unknown. The missing : Mrs. John Matthews , Mrs. Matilda Cross nnd two children , who were seen to Jump overboard. Fatally Injured : Theresa Rheln and Louisa Panscholck. Boat Takes Fire and Runs Aground. After the explosion the boat took fire and ran aground. She now lies a wrecked and blackened hulk In the marshes opposite Torresdalo , 10 miles above this city. Her hold Is filled with water and It Is feared more of her pas sengers and crew may be found In the bottom of the boat when the water Is pumped out. The City of Trenton makes dally trips between Philadelphia and Tren ton. Yesterday her passenger list was lighter than usual and she carried very little freight. The vessel was in charge of Captain W. A. Worrell. At a point near Torresdale the steam pipe connecting with the port boiler burst with a loud report. Be fore any of the passengers or employes had an opportunity of seeking places of safety another explosion occurred and this time the port boiler was rent in twain. Scalding steam and water poured Into the cabin nnd sections of the woodwork of the boat were torn away by the force of the explosion. Those of the passengers who were not seamed and ucarred by the scalding steam nnd boiling water were struck by the ( lying portions of the splintered cabin. Legs and arms were broken nnd faces and bodies parboiled. The screams of the Injured could be heard on shore , nnd the cries of those who leaped nnd wore blown Into the river were heartrending. So great was the force of the explosion that a piano was hurled many feet away Into the river. This proved n fortunate circumstance for many of the Injured. Thrown Into the water , scalded and otherwise In jured so that they wore rendered helpless - loss , they clung to the piano , which had fallen Into shallow water. By this time the vessel had caught fire and those of the passengers still aboard wore compelled to leap for their lives. Fortunately the water was not more than four feet deep and many of the victims of the disaster were able to wade ashore. Some , however - over , who were too seriously Injured to help themselves , were rescued by members of the boat clubs , whose houses line the river front at this point. The captain and crew of the boat conducted themselves as heroes. They rendered all the assistance possi ble to Injured and Captain Worrell was the last man to leave the boat.
