A noteworthy incident of tho aerslon w.tj
tho remarkable dcmorntrntion to Governor
Taylor of Kentucky. Thnt his party n-.so-clatex
look on him as a martyr of political
hatred, their great ovation of today made
evident. 'Although they succeeded in bring

duce him to make a upccch.
Tho appointment of the committees on

over to greet his executive colleague nnd
say that Dolllver's flag was st'll flylnj.
Across the alslo was Senator Piatt. Gov

Sitting together on the phitform was a

The long gallery was now packed with
humanity aud tho floor from wall to wall
wns a living sea of people.
Uofore Chairman Hanna on tho desk was
a heavy plank nbout a foot scwaro and on
this lay his gavel. Tho gavel was unlquo.
It cou'slsted of a heavy Bquaro oak piece
tilled with .1 handlo nnd looked more like a
maul than n gavel for a presiding olllccr.
Senator Hanna seemed In no hurry to call
tho convention to order.
At 12:30 tho band broke into tho stirring
strains of tho "Star Spangled Hauner."
Governor Roosevelt was first on his feet In
response to tho nntlonnl anthem. Ills Rough

He lifted his ungainly gavel and brought
it down with a resounding whack. InBtnntly
all eyes wero riveted upon him and a wave
of applause swept tho hall.
Chairman Hanun faced tho storm of np
plauso with a resolute face. Ills stern fea
tures did not relax, but ho nodded nn ac
knowledgment as tho applnusa broke hero
and thero into n clieor. When It had sub
sided ho brought down tho gnvol again.

"Tho convention will come to order," ho
shouted nt exactly 12:33.
"Tho convention will bo opened with
prayer," ho continued, "by tho Hev. J.
Gray Holloa of tho Hojio Presbyterian
church of 1'hllndelphln."
Chairman Hanna rcmnlncd otundlng with
bowed head while, tho dlvlnu camo forward.
All, however, bowed their heads reverently
whllo Hev. Holton read his prayer from
small slips of paper which ho held In tho
hollow of his hand.
As the prayer closed Senator Hnnnn was
again nn his feet nnd, adjusting his eyQ
glonses, said In u resonnnt voice:
"The secretary of the nntlonal commltteo
will now rend the call for the convention."
As Colonel Dick stepped forward with call

Ho read the formal call, whllo tho vast as

Kuclng theso illfllrulties, the president Im

vened congre3 in extiu session, nnd In
a messnge of force nnd lucidity summarised
tho legislation essentlnl to our nntlonal
prosperity. Tho Industrial history of the
united States for the past four venrs Is
the tribute to the wisdom of Ills Judgment.
The tariff measure under which wo ure
now conducting buslncss wns preceded by
nn unusual volume of lmporlntlons based
upon common knowledge that certain duties
wero to be ruled; the bill met the nouular
demand that duties on many of the ncces
series of llfo should be lowered nnd not
raised: advances In Invention and new trade
conditions made It unnecessary und unwise
to revert to the higher tariff provisions
of the law of 1S0O; tho Increases In tho
revenue provisions were slight. Vet. not
withstanding nil thesre facts, tending to re
duce Income, the leveuues from' tho Dlnglev
bill marched steadily upwards, until sooii
our normal Income exceeded our normal
expenditure, tind we passed from n eondl
t on of threatened Insolvency to one of na
tional solvency.
Under the wise provisions of our tariff
laws and the encouragement afforded to
capital by a renewal or public confidence,
trade commenced to revive. The looms
were no longer silent and the mills de
serted; railway earnings increased, mer
chants nnd bunks resumed business, labor
found employment at fnlr wages, our ex
ports Increased nnd the sunshine of hope
nguln Illumined the land. Tho figures that
Illustrate tho growing prosperity of tho
four years of republican administration welt
nigh Htnztjer belief. There Isn't nn Idle

One UiicMIoii Hettlcd.
The campaign four years ago was fought
on tho currency ipiestlon. The no;iit!lstli'
democracy Instated that the United Stntes
alone should embark on the free colnnge
of silver at tho ratio of 10 to 1, without
waltlnc the concurrence of any other
nation. The republican party Insisted that
the question of blmetiilllsm wns Interna
tional, and that until It should be settled
under ngreement with the leading com
mercial nations of tho world gold should
contlnuo to be the standard of value ln
theno United States. Upon that Issue wo
triumphed. Tho logic of recent events, to
gether with the attempt of the democracy
to dra? down the question from its Inter
national character, to associate it with
every vngary of populism and socialism
and to drive this country to an alliance
with Mexico and China, as an exclusively
silver-using country, has Impelled our
peoplo to this settlement nf this problem,
und the recent action of congress hns
eliminated tho danger which Its further
agitation mennrcd. Our debt Is funded nt
2 per cent per annum, nnd millions of our
Interest churgo saved annually. The world
has never wltncrsed so triumphant a
financial success ns has followed the pa
saso of tho currency law, and our 2 per
cent bonds, held the worid over, already
command a substantial premium.
Through the policy of tho republican party
and tho wisdom of a republican iidmlnltr;i
tlon, wo have not only made stable and
permanent our flnnnrlul credit, nt home
and nbrond. are utilizing more Mlver as
money thnn ever before In our history, but
wp have left the popullstlc democracy a
dead Issue they can never ugnln galvanize
Into life, nnd compelled them to seek to
create new Issues growing out of a war
which they were most onge.r. to precipitate.
May I. a western man, add another word?
Tho pawngo of this bill, which received the
vote of every western republican ln con
gress, marked the termination, forever
final, of any sort of difference between
republicans of the eat nnd of the went,
growing out of curreecv problems. Uven
If the stern logic of events had not con
vinced tjx, our deep and abiding loynlty to
the principles of the party, our belief that
tho .lodgment of its majority should govern,
would lend us to abandon further conten
tion. And tho thousands of republicans In
the west who left u four years ago are
h'tnmitrig honw. The men ot the far west
anwbone of your bone and llesh of your
llcsh The sli" f"t s"'lrles on vnu bles.es
them also, and t"ie shadow before your
rio,or darkens their humus as well. They
are naturally expansionists In the western
plain und irountnlns, nnd when they yeo
a great polltlcaliarty ntt'irkln- the In
tegrity of the nation nn.l lemllim encourage
ment to Insurrectionists wno are shooting
down our solc'lers nnd resisting the
authority of the government of the United
Btntcs. all other questions fade and nre
forgotten, nnd they find themselves (Hand
ing shoulder to shoulder In the ranks ot
the republican party, keeping rtep, always,
"to the music of the union.'
('onecriiliiir (In Wnr,
During n portion' of the lust four years
we were Involved In a war that for a
time paralyzed business and commerce and
would have taxed heavily the resources
nnd credit of any other countrv than ours;
and for the past ear or more we have
been employing an army nf some no.000 men
in (.impressing an Insurrection against our
authority 8,000 miles away. No industry
has felt tho strain oC these extraordinary
expenses, nor have they affected tho gen
eral oum of our prosperity. More than
that, tho conditions resulting from the
legislation of tho past four years have ob
literated every Issue that was raised dur
ing the last campaign. The democrat y,
having' therefore to find somo rallying cry,
seeks it ln the results of our late war with
Spain, and upon that question, na upon nil
others, we stand ready to meet them In tho
oocn.
Senator Wolcott discussed calmly and at
come length tho conditions arising out of
tho war, showing tho necessity for assum
ing authority over tho Philippines, Cuaa
and Porto Rico, and giving In detail the rc
Biilt of the presence ct Americau govern
ment agents in Hicpo Islands. Ho de
fended tho Porto Hlcnn tariff law and tho
work being done In Cuba, nnd continued:
Wo are actually owners of the Philip
pines by an uimlputed and Indubitable
title. We nre theie as tlu necessary and
logical outcome of our victory over Spain.
There are upwards of l.Ow Islands
sprinkled upon that southern sea, peopled
by moro than eighty tribes of differing race
and language, and having absolutely noth
ing In common with each other. Most of
these tribes welcome our coming nnd are
grateful for our protection. The Tngal
tribe, hostile not only to us. but to most
of the native tribes, uie in Insurrection
against our uuthotlty. They have neither
a government nor the capacity to conduct
one, and ore waging a predatory guerrilla
warfaro which would be turned against tho
other native tribes If wo let them nlono.
Whit would tho democracy have us do?
Give them up to rapluo und lilooasneii, ami
leave the Islands as tlntsnm aud Jetsam 011
the face of the waters? There are parallels
In our own history. We purchased Florida
from Spain In 1S21. when It had 4,000 white
settlers, for $5,000,000 nnd other valuable
considerations. The Pemlnoles, natives of
the soli, btuve, resolute, having far greater
Intelligence and character than the Tnsals,
disputed our possession. Wo sent Andrew
Jackson down to light them, and It took
us twenty-one years to subdue them and
send what was loft of them west of the
Mississippi. If the "antl-everythlugs" had
lived then, they would, I suppose, have
urged us to turn over Florida to Osccoln,
tho Aglllualdo of the Semluoles! Would
you. after the war with Mexico and tho
Undsden nurehass. have glvtn tho great
area south and west of the Arkansas to
tho red ApncheV Not so did our fathers
construo their dutj, and as they built, so
flhall we, their sons.
Inspired ( tlie Ileiiioei'uls,
Tho Insurrection against our legitimate
authority, which, for the time, Impedes
our efforts to establish a government for
mo I'liipiuns. involves us 111 a sacrince or
lives nnd of treasure The difficulties we
encounter In the Island of Luzon are many,
but the chief Inspiration and encourage
ment of the Tacnl Insurrection come from
the. democratic headquarters In the United
Htutes. Partisanship has proved stronger
than patriotism, even while our soldiers
nro being murdered by marauding bnndlts.
and If It were not for tho hope held out
to Agulunlilo by American sympathizers
tho Insurrection In tint Philippines would
long ago have ended.
Novor since Utll, when thu voters of tho
country wero called upon to determlno
whether the efforts of Abraham Lincoln
to preserve the union should )0 continued,
or whether they should bo abandoned and
other measures attempted, have nuestloim
bo vital been presented to the American
people for settlement. Their decision must
determine the mulntfnunrn or tho degrada.
tlon of both our nntlonnl credit and our
natlonul honor. A democratic president
could paralyze the operation of tho new
currency huv as effectively as if It wero
wiped from our statute bonks. A demo
cratic victory would infuse new life Into tho
Tamil Insurrection, cost us tho lives of
thousands of our gallant army in the Phil
ippines, Impair or destroy our prestige, If
not our power, In tho Islands, make us a
byword among the other great nations of
the world, nnd obliterate our Influence In
the settlement of the vital questions cer
tain to arise when China shall be opened
to forelru commerce.
There Is little room for fear. The farmer
and the artisan In their day of prosperity
still remember the impnverMinifiit and
blight of democracy, and tho Chicago plat
form has no allurements for them.
Our national honor Is equally eecure.
The American people arc neither pol
troons nor pessimists, and they will n t
signalize the dawn of tho new century by
the surrender of either convictions or terri
tory. Uvery soldier bark from the Islands,
and they nre in almost every hamlet In thd
land, returns an ndvocale of their retention.
Our dend are burled along the sands of
Luzon, and on Its soil no foreign Hag shall
ever saluto the dawn.
Henily for the 1nes.
Whatever mny"be In store for us In the
new nnd unbeaten track upon which we
nro entering, we shall not be found "with
tho unlit lamp and the unglrt loin." Our
way Is new, but It is not dark. In the
readjustment of world conditions, where
wo' must tnke our place with the other
great nations of the enrth, we shall move
with caution, but not with fear. Wo seek
only to lift up men to better things, to
bless and not to destroy. The fathers of
the republic accepted with courage such
responsibilities as devolved upon them. '1 ho
flame heavens bend over us, and the same
power that shielded them will gunrd und
protect us, for what we seek Is to build
still more firmly, always upon foundations
of probity und ot virtue, the glorious edifice
of the republic.
Wo stand at the dawn of a new
century. Hcforn it shall have renched
lis meridian tho youngest hero will huVe
passed beyond this llfo or beyond the
sphere of usefulness. New recruit!
will step Into the ranks as we fall
out. This very year thousands of young
men will for the first time exercise the
right of citizenship nnd cast their ballots
at the national election. The safety of thw
republic must ever test In "the courage of
young hearts nnd the vigor of a noble man
hood." Youth Is buoyant and hopeful No
snarling criticism, or gospel of a little.
America, or prophecy of despair, will find
responso from hearts that beat full nnd
strong with eournge und with faith and
whoso creed It Is that
"find's In Ills heaven,
All's right with the world."
Whatever else In the past lias suffered
change or decay, the republican party,
which for forty years has been dentiiled
with everything ennobling nnd uplifting in
our history, was never ns vital, as virile,
and as vigorous as today. And the herit
age we shall transmit to the new century,
to the coming generation and to their
Children, and to their children s children,
shall bo a record clrnn and untarnished,
an tinqucnchnblo faith In free Institutions,
an unalterable belief In the patriot Ism of
the people, and an undying love of liberty
and of country

tho order for those battalions to move, but
you interrupted mo daughter!? It needs

of their country. I leave it in the hands
of others to tell you what that meant,
but in passing to others those duties I
want to make ono susecstlon, iilwurs trust

Senator Thurston of Nebraska, In (ho

which tho Amerlcnn people had brou com
