"This great assemblage of young republi

young men on their side Imvo taken bond ol
Into , and have Insured the future. Tim
national work , of which this convention is an
early expression , Is doubly valuable , because
It Is the associated and well orgaubcu effort
of young men. It means fur more , therefore ,

prospects for victory this fall In Now York
as good as yours in Illinois. Wo have no
quarrels but healthy ones , and no factions
excepting In the eager reports of our
friends , tbo enemy. Our organization is
well advanced and the column is moving.
The enemy boast lhat , llko themselves , wo
have laggards. I do not Unow it and do not
bcllevo It : but If wo have , the thing which
will happen to thorn is the thing which has
happened to laggards before. . They will got
loft. Th'c republican work In the state of
Now York Is so far advanced , that , with the
ei.rncst nud enthusiastic continuation till
November of Ihe campaign already begun It
Is beyond the power of anybody In the
enemy's ranks , or In our own , lo defeat It.

speech. Indeed , 1 have no purpose and
there Is no need for mo to nttempt that work
at sll during thU conlest. I hud originally
planned to cone west ut this time , merely on

portunity to witness the line young enthusi
asm of this republican revival in the stats
which led the nation to Its llrst republican
victory , nnd within the rndlanco of the tomb
which"glorillcs this city and Is u shrlno , llko

"Neither am I hero to utter a word ngnlnst
the gentlemen whom Iho opposing party pro-
souls for nnp'ular suffrage. I comu from Iho
state of o'no of thorn and am at this moment
u guest in the state of the other. It gives
pleasure to know that both of them are tried ,
ublo and sincere men too slncero nnd too
honorable lo take n nomination without m-
cuirlng Its full party obligation , or'to stand
ou a platform without accepting arid main
taining Its doctrine- .
"To lhat doctrine , gontloinen , It will bo
your privilege and your opportunity to hold
them on that doctrine your campaign will
bo ( ought and won. Wo do not need lo turn
our faces , oven In reminiscence , to the past.
Wo may leave out of the discussion iho whole
history of the republican tuny , which Is
through thirty years the history of the most
glorious and tno most prosperous period of
( ho republic. Wo may oven ovenooic the
record of Iho democratic party for the same
time a record which they are apt to consider
it unkind nud unfriendly to mention. Wo
need only IIx attention upon iho policy
for the future they have nt least openly nud
manfully avowed to insure their renewed
defeat. We may well thank them for the
clearness nnd condor with which they have
fur once staled their precise position on Ibu
tariff. They are opposed to Ihu McKlnloy
b'.ll and demand Its "unconditional and im-
mcdluto repeal. Ask the business world
which has udjustcd Itself to ihu McKlnloy
bill and is gelling on admirably under it
whether it wants that. They -nro opposed to
any protective tariff. Ask the country
which bos seen Its greatest prosperity under
protective tariffs whether It wants such nn
absolute rovorval of the national policy as
that. They demand a tariff forrevonuooiily ,
dcdnru any other unconstitutional nnd pro
claim this Iho fundamental principle of dem- '
ocrucy. Wo are bound to tuku them at their
word.
Thry Have Changed 1'ront.
"But how that inrty has changed. They
clto what they c ill Iho long and illustrious
'
line of democrat loaders from' Madison to
Cleveland. Well , Madison reported and
Gi'orgo Washington signed Iho lit-at protec
tive tariff bill In our history , nnd It staled
specifically in Its tltlo mat it was for the en
couragement and protection of manufactur
ers. But then the democratic party of today
knows that Wnshit gton and MadKon dhl
not understand the constitution they had
Just mailo. Andrew Jackson elnboraloly
argued Iho conslltullonal right and duty lo
make a prolccllvu tariff nnd gave his prede
cessors , Washington , Jefferson , Madison and
Monroe as his authorities. The democratic
party of today knows that Andrew Jackson
did not understand the constitution.
"Down to this day thcro Is out ouo great
representative body which did understand
the constitution , nnd In iho long line of
leaders thu democratic platform refers to ,
from Madison to Cleveland , there has hero-
loforo boon but one statesman vested
wllh the power to enforce tuu
present democratic interpretation of
it. The representative body was the consti
tutional convention of the : onfeJorato states ,
and the authoritative statesman was the con-
fodoralo president ' , Jefferson Davis , They

republicans of the uow Fourth congressional
district , mid under auspices that point con
clusively to hU triumphant election In

There were bait n dozen candidates In the
fluid. Tliotr strength ns doveloood in the
convention corroborated the forecast of the
situation in Tin : Bci : of yosorday. Each
hud the support of bis own county , but the
real contest was spoodllv shown to uo be
tween Halnor and Crnrab. The contest was
otio of exceeding Rood nature , mid when It
was ever the fortunate candidate received
the heartiest congratulations ot the de
feated , nnd their earnest assurances of sup
port wore given in no perfunotory manner.
Mr. ilttltior will enter upon his campaign
with no sere spots to DO loolcod after and no
Inimical factions to placuto. IIU nomination
was unanimous nnd there was u conulnoss
about the unanimity that is more often de
sired than mot , with In political conventions.

worlc , going direct from the convention to the

tnlttce said that It afforded htm great pleas
ure to nddreis the convention th.it would
name the first congressman who would rep
resent this now district , which was the fruit
of wedlock of two years ago , which was a
mesalliance ot the alliance nnd democrats.
He saw indications that the youngster had
grown altogether too swill for the old folks ,
ana that thu district would bu safely repub
lican.
Secretary C. A. McCloucl read the call and
the report , of the conimittoojiuming Attorney
General George 11. Hastings of Saline as
temporary chairman and A. F. Smith of
Thujor and C. A. McCloud ot York as tem
porary secretaries. Smith declined and W.
O. Warwick of Gage was named in his
place and the report was adopted.
In assuming the chair , Uvtiural Hastings
called attention to the fact that ho hau never
presided over a congressional convention In
which Siilino county was represented that
had named u candidate to go down to uofcat
and bo was satislica he never would.
The credentials as prepared by th e con
gressional committed wore adopted without

.temporary organization was made perma
nent.
The following co in mitt co of five on resolu

Its Increase. A plank favoring the uovorn-
mental ownership of railroads , telephones
nnd telegraph systems \vas amended to favor
govcrnmonlal control. This led to a boated
discussion lasting more than an hour , some
urging that tbo original resolution was it rti-
Dudiution of the platform of the national

a conciliation with the Independent party.
The whole mutter was finally setllod aflcr

sanctity of the Sabbath. Substitutes nnd
objections ware poured In , and for a while

'Wo will take you anyway , ' ' said th
minors.
A fuw mloutos before 2 o'clock the minor *
began the attack. There were 3,000 of thorn
armed with all sorts of weapons. Thny
deemed to spring up from the earth ns if by
magic.
They poured up tho.hill ou all stdca , on
both Hunks nnd from Iho rear and front , ,
yelling wildly nnd swearing to kill the sol *
dlor.s like dogs. Up the slope toward tha
summit of thu 800-foot hill they charged.
Anderson , untronchcd behind tbo breast ,
works , watched their ascent. Nearer thuy
came , when the miners suddenly began to
shoot. The volley of their muskets ana
pistols was hoard fur six milos. They Urea
lully 10.030 Hhots , which bunnd themselves
harmlessly tn the walls and dirt.
Th 'V l''ought Mliu llravo .Men.
Andersen was Insldo , making a speech to
his mun. He told thorn thut nothing but a
horrlblu death awaited them after an attack
was made , nnd lhat the miners would massa
cre them en masse.
The mountain howitrcr was trained on tbo
men conllng up from the roar and the Gat-
ling on these from the front. The command
to 11 ro wns given by Guuural Anderson and
a blaze of tire from every side of tbo fort
bc-lched out. The rour of the cannon mingled
with tbo yells of of the miner ) , who foil on
all sides , being swnpl down like chaff by tbo
terrible fusilado. Some wore III Hod outright
and ethers wounded ,

Ttio columns of maddened miners com-
fhotely surrounding the fort wavered nnd
started to run , but ngaln the yells were setup
up und the mad duvlls , moro enraged thun
ever , swept up the hill. On and up , hlghoi
ihev came , and another fusilado of cannon
and rillo * failed to ntop thorn. On to tha
stockades thuy swept and so many wuro they
thai It looked ns If thu whotu valley uad hill
were ullvo wllh mon.
At iho Hlnckndo thuy stopped and mon
clambered over the waits to reluaso the con
victs , Tno fort Is fiomo tlUtaccc from the
stockade nnd higher up. The doors and entrances -
trances were thrown op on and the minors
were ut last In possession. They began
to order the convicts to leave and
hud them all captured , when General
Anderson assembled nil tils soldiers at Iho
sldo ihu minors were on and moving the
howlUor to that side began to bombard
them. Mon shrlokod and cursed as tha
bullets ploughed thulr way through the
ranks of the minors , dealing jJcuth on all
sides. The minors hid forgotlon they were
exposed.
Drovu Tlinni Hack Again.
Andoroon , leaving men to work tbo cannon ,
sullied out lo the rusouo of tbo convicts.
The minors stopped in the work of rolouslne
convicts und turned to got out of the way of
the nllu bulluls. Again and again their
luadors bogged thorn to light , but no Human
bjing could withstand the awful rain of de
struction and death. Pell moll , hotter skol-
tor , the minors rushed down
the hill to oscupo the furious on
slaught of iho flotdlors. With never u
halt nnd never a rally , they rjuchod thu bottom
tom of thu hill , leaving twelve dead and
moru than twenty woundoJ "jlnors behind
them.
They hurried far out of sight and reuob of
the guna. Thuy than collootod their shut
tered and wounded forces , and It U feared
thuro tire moro than u half huuarod wounded
und moru dead than reported.
