GOVERNOR HASTINGS' SPEECH. Nominating Sruator Quay for Presi dent of the United States. II r. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con vention. Pennsylvania comes to this eon ventlon giving you the cordial assurance that, whoever may be our national stand aid bearer, he will receive of all the states In the Union the largest majority Irom the Keystone (tale. There have been no faltering footsteps In Pennsyl vania when the tenets of Kepubllvanlsm have been at stake. Our party's prin ciples have always been held as sacred as independence Hall or the memory of her dead soldiers. Having within her borders mors American cltisen3 relatively who GOVERNOR HASTINGS. own the homes in which they live; whose principal dally vocation Is to subduo and develop her great store-houses of na tive wealth; her wage-earners, skilled and unskilled, receive, one year with another. the highest average American wage rate the Republicans of Pennsylvania, by their chosen representatives, come to this con vention and, with you, demand, and thulr every Interest demands, a system of na tional currency equal to the best in the world. They' demand as well that the govern ment they love and for whose flag they have fought, and still stand ready to de fend, shall pay its debts In money and not In promises. They insist that a dollar Is not created by the flat of the government, but must have 100 cents of Intrinsio or ex changeable value, measured by the world's 'standard, and that any debasement of the standard would be fatal to business se curity and national honor.. They believe In the old-fashioned custom of living with in their income, and when the income is unequal to the necessary outgo they In sist upon Increasing their revenue rather than Increasing their debt. They believe that the primary object of government is to defend and promote the Interests of the people who have orduined that govern ment for the advancement of their com mon welfare. They hold the revenue pol. Icy and the protective solley go hand In hand, and they stand as the sturdy and unwavering champions of that American system of fair and open-handed protection which, injuring none and helping all, has made this nation great and prosperous. PENNSYLVANIA'S CLAIMS. Pennsylvania comes to this convention and with great unanimity asks you to name astandard bearer who will repre sent not only the principles and condi tions, but the brightest hopes and aspira tions of the Republican party; a man who has been a loyal supporter of its every great movement; a potent factor In. Us councils from the day of Its birth and baptism on Pennsylvania soil, to the pres ent time; a man whose every vote and ut- patriotic Americanism. Those whom I represent and who ask his nomination at your hands, point to a statesman who has been in the forefront of every battle for his party; who has been its champion, its wise counsellor, Its organiser, and the successful leader of Its forlorn hopes. He was with those patriots who rocked rite cradle of Republicanism; he was among the first to comprehend the magnitude of the armed debate of '61, and to give him. self to the Union cause. In 1S78 he stemmed the tide of currency Inflation and won a voniory which. While less oatenta. tlous, was equal In .Importance to his suc cessful rescue of the country from free trade and Grover Cleveland In '8S. The American citlsen who believes tin all laws and all policies should be for America's best Interest; the American sol dier who admires valor as much as he loves the flag of his reunited country i tha Amerlcun wage-earner who loves his home and family, and who will never consent to sink nimseir, to the wage level of the for. elgn pauper; the American manufacturer emerging from the tortures of a free-trade panic and, anxious to relight the fires of Industry, where darkness and silence still hold sway; they who loudly proclaim their , recent but perfect conversion to the true gospel or Republicanism: thev who de mand dollars as good as sold as the wane for good work; who bellevo in commercial reciprocity with other nations, but who say "halt" to any further forelirn en croachment upoh tiny part of America these, all these, have found In him a stead ' fast friend and able supporter. Ho was the soldier's friend In war and he has been their constant champion In neace. The survivor of those who fought for free dom and won Immortal fame, recognise In htm a comrade whose valor has been proved on hard-fought field and attested In the proudest trophy ever won by sol dierthe decoration awarded him by tho America congress. Called to lead a forlorn hope In the groat campaign of '88, he wrought a task equal to the six labors of Hercules. He organ. Ised the patriotism and Republicanism of the country for victory. He throttled the Tammany tiger In Ills don, and, forcing an honest vote and an honest count In the stronghold ef the most powerful and cor rupt political organisations In the land, rescued the country from the heresies of Democracy. Having thus made himself too powerful and too dangerous to the enemy, the' order went forth to assassi nate him, but the poisoned arrows of lander and vituperation, thrown In bitter and relentless hatred, fell broken at his feet. He turned to the people among whom he lived and whose servant he was, and his vindication at their hands wss an ' uifanimlous re-election to the senate of ths United States. , ; ; '; ., WOOD 14KB A nook. ' There, representing Imperial Penhsyl ' Vanta and here Interests, he stood Ilka a . rock, resisting the combined power of a ' free-trade president and patty, until the deformity known- as the Wilson kill was altered and amended so aa tc aav at least some of tke business interests of his state and country from entire and utter ruin. We welcome the Issue American protection: American credit and an Amer ican policy. Let the people in the cam paign which this convention inaugurates, determine whether they are still willing to live through another free-trade panic. Let the wage earner and the wage payer contemplate the bitter experiences which brought hunger to the home of one and financial ruin to the other. Let the Amer ican farmer compare farm product prices with free-trade promises. Let him who has saved a surplus and him who works for a livelihood determine, each for him self, if he craves to be paid in American dollars, disgraced -and depreciated to half their alleged value. Let him who fought for his country's flag; let the widow, the orphan, and the loving parent who gave up that which was as precious as life, be hold that flag, and all it stands for. pawned to a foreign and domestic Joint syndicate to raise temporary loans lor tne purpose of postponing the final financial disaster and answer whether they want the shame and humiliation repeated. Let the sovereign voice be heard in the com ing election declaring that the only gov ernment founded on the rock of freedom, blessed with every gift of nature and crowned with' unmeasured possibilities, shall not be dethroned, degraded, pauper ised by a party and a policy at war with aro very genius of our national existence. Nominate him wnom i now name, una this country will have a president whose mental endowments, broad-minded states manship, ripe experience, marvellous sa gacity, unassuming modesty, knightly couruce. and true Americanism are unex celled. Nominate him and he will elect himself. I name to you the soldier and the states man. Pennsylvania's choice mstinew Stanley Quay. MAINE'S FAVORITE SON. Speech of Senator Lodge, of Massa chusetts, Nominating Reed. Four years ago we met as we meet now, representatives of the great Republican party. .Prosperity was In the land. - Cap ital was confident and labor employed. There was the good day's wage for the good day s work, and the spirit or Amer. lean enterprise was stirring and bold. The treasury was full, the public revenues amnio for the public need. We were at peace with all the world, and had placed a prudent hand on the key or tne pacific. Four short years have come and gone, Look about you now. The treasury Is empty. Our credit Is Impaired. Our reve nuos are deficient. We meet the publlo needs not with Income but by borrowing at high rates and pledging the future for the wants of the present. Business !s paralysed. Confidence has gone. Enter, prise has folded its eagle wings and mopes and blinks In the market place. Our mills are Idle and our railroads crippled. Capi tal hides Itself and labor idly walks the street. There is neither a good day's wage nor a good day's work. We have met with slights abroad and have curious dif ferences with other nations. The key to the Pacific has slipped from, nerveless hands. Foreign troops have been landed In this hemisphere. Our own boundaries have been threatened in Alaska. The Monroe doctrine has been defended but Is not yet vindicated. The people of a neighbor Island lighting for freedom look toward us with Imploring eyes and look In vain. The American policy which would protect our Industries at borne and our flag abroad has faded and withered away. "Look, then, upon that picture and on this." "Could you on that fair mountain leave to feed and fatten on this moor?" But four short years have come and gone and they have brought this change. What has happened? I will tell you In a word. The Democrltlc party has been In power. That Is the answer. Upon us falls tho' heavy burden of binding up these wounds and bringing relief to all this suf fering. The Democrats deceived the peo ple by promising them the millennium and the miserable results of these lying promises are all about us today. We have no promises to make. We pledge ourselves only to that which we believe we can perform. We will do odr best. That Is all. And as In 186V we saved the Union and abol- Ished slavery, so In 1806 we will deal with this Democratic legacy of blunders, bankruptcy and misfortune. We are gathered here to choose the next president of the United Staes. That we will win In the election no man doubts, but let us not deceive ourselves with the pleasant fancy that the campaign is to do an easy one. It will be a hard battle; It cannot be otherwise when so much de pends upon the result. Against the Re publican party representing fixed Amerl. can policies, strength, progress and order, will be arrayed not only that organized feature, tho Democratic party,, but all the wandering forces of political chaos and social disorder. Ie Is not merely the presi dency which Is set before us as the prize. The prosperity of (he country, the protec- HENRY CABOT LODGE. tlon of our Industries, the soundness of our currency, and the national credit aro all staked on the great Issue to be decided at the polls next November. Upon us rests the duty of rescuing the country from the misery Into which It has been plunged by three years of Democratic misrule. To drive the Democrats from power is tho first step and the highest duty, but we shall triumph in vain, ami In our turn shall meet heavy punishment at the hands of the people If we do not put our victory to right uses. Such a crisis as this cannot be met and dealt with by shouts and enthusiasm. We must face It as our fathers faced Blavery and disunion with a grim determination to win the battle; and that done, to take up our responsibilities in the same spirit with which we won the fight. Now, as then, we can hope to suc ceed only by the most strenuous endeavor; and now, as then, everything depends upon the admlnstratlon we place In office. We want a president who will meet this situation as Lincoln met that of 18C1; with the chiefs of the Republicans about hfm, and with party and people at his back. We want a president who on the fifth day of next March will summon congress In ex tra session and, refusing to make appoint, ments or to deal with patronage, will' say that all else must wait until congress sends to him a tariff which shall put money in the treasury and wages In the pockets of the American worklngmen, We want a president who will protect at all hazards the gold reserve of the treasury; who will see to It that no obligation to the gov ernment Is presented which Is not paid In whatever coin the creditor chooses to de. mand, and which will never forget that the nation which pays with honor, borrows with ease. We want a man who will guard the safety and dignity of the nation at home and abroad and who will always and constantly be firm In dealing with foreign nations, Instead of suddenly varying a long course of weakness and Indifference With a convulsive spasm of Vigor and pa triotism. Above all. We want a man who will lead his party and act with it and who will not by senseless quarrel between the white house and capltol reduce legislation and aaeeutlon alike to imbecility and fail ure, luoh la the man wo want for our treat office la these bitter times and when the forces of disorder are loosed and the wreckers with their false lights gatVr at the shore to lure the ship of state upon the rocks. Such a man St for such deeds I am now to present to you. He needs no praise from me. for he has proved his own title to leadership. From what he is and whitt he has done we know what he can do. For twenty years, in victory and defeat, at the head of great majorities and of small majorities alike, he has led his party in congress with a power which no man could dispute, and with an ability which never failed. I have seen him with a mad dened opposition storming about him, carry through that great reform which has made the house of representatives tha strong and efficient body it is today. I have seen him during the past winter guide a great majority so that they have met every demand put upon them and no errors which could burden the Repub lican party in the campaign before us. Before the people and in the houne lie has ever been the bold and brilliant cham pion of the great Republicui policies whleh, adopted, have made us prosperous, and, abandoned, have left ruin at our doors. He Is a thorough American, by birth, by descent, by breeding; one who loves his country, and has served it in youth and manhood, in war and peace. His great ability, his' originality of thought, bis power In debate, his stroll will, are known Of all men, and are part ct the history of the last twenty years. His public career Is as spotless an his pit. vate character Is pure und as unblemished. He is a trained statesman tit tor the heav iest task the country can impose upon him. He commands the confidence of his party and his country. He Is leader of men. We know It, because we have seen him al ways "come." He is entirely fearless?. We know It for we have seen his cour age tested on a hundred fields. He has been called to great places and to great Mais, and he has never failed nor fllnchad. He Is fit to stand at the head of the Re publican column. He Is worthy 'to be an American president. I have the honor. the very great honor, to presnt to you as 4 candidate for your nomination, the speaker of the national house of represen tatlves, Thomas B. Reed, of Maine. , SPEECH OF CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW. Nominating Gov. Levi P. Morton for President of the United States. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con ventlon: . National Republican conventions have been epoch makers. They have formulat ed the principles, originated the policies, and suggested the measures which In '.he history of the United States form Its most prosxassire periods, They have nominated CTACXCSr V. CEPKW. for the presidency statesmen and sol diers who were the leaders of the people In their onward march to larger liberty and broader and better Industrial condi tions. No party, no matter how glorious Its achievements or how brilliant its suc cesses, can rely upon the past. Its for mer triumphs are only Its certificates ot character, Which must be met by con tinuing effort as benetleent and wise as anything of which It boasts. The party which Is to permanently govern a country and Is secure in its past, must not only be equal to the present, but must forecast and provide for the future. The Repub. lican party has held possession of the government of the United States for more than a generation because It has trium phantly met these conditions. The un equalled successes of the Republican par ty. Its hold upon the country, and Its mas. terful Influence upon affairs have been due to the fact that In every crisis Its principles have solved the problems of the hour and Its selected leader has been the man for the occasion. The greatest moral and patriotic questions which a free people were ever called upon to meet were slavery and secession In the early days of our organization. But with "Union and Liberty" as our watchword and with Lin coin as our leader we saved the republic and emancipated the slave. A few weeks preceding the convention of four years ago at 'Minneapolis I had an afternoon with Mr. Blaine. With marvel lous Intuition he forecast the future. He said: "Substantially all the forces of op position or distrust, and of disappoint ment, of theory and ot imagination which accumulate against a party that has been in power for over thirty years are now concentrated for an assault upon our po sltlon and are certain to succeed. The Democratic party and Its allies ot Popu llsm and of- all other Isms are destined In this campaign, no matter who is our can didate or what Is our platform, to secure possession of the government." The coun try knows to Its loos; Its sorrow, and Its grief, that the prediction has been fulfilled In ever? part. In Us fulfilment the United States has the experience and Europe has the business and prosperity. We meet to tuke up the broken cord of national development and happiness and link It once more to the car of progress, Our Industries stagnant, our manufuc. tures paralyzed, our agriculture dlsheart. ened, our artisans unemployed, our finances disordered, our treasury bank nipt, our credit Impaired, our position among the nations of the world ques tloned, all look to this convention and call upon Its wisdom for hope and rescue. DEMOCRATIC CONDITION'S. The conditions created by the practice of Democratic policies, the promise of Dem ocratlc measures, and tho differences of Democratic statesmen would seem to .'ir gue an unquestioned and overwhelming triumph for the Republican party In tho coming election. No matter how brlllltnt the promise, no- mutter how serene tho outlook, It Is .the part of wisdom, with the uncertainties of politics and our re cent experience of thai tragic shifting Is sues, to be careful, prudent, and wise In platform anu in candidate. The last few yearB have been a campaign of university extension among the peo. pie of the United Stars, and while wo may In platform and candidate meet all the requirements of party obligations and party 'expectations, we must remember that there is a vast constituency which has little fealty to partleB or to organiza tions, but votes for the man snd the principles which are In accord with their views In the administration of tho coun try. The whole country, north, south, east and west, without any division In outlines. or out of them, stands, after what has happened In the last three years, for the protection of American Industries, for the principle or reciprocity, and for America tor Americans, Hut a compact neighbor hood of great commonwealths, In which are concentrated the majority of the pop ulation, of the manufactures, and of the Industrial energies of the United States has found that business and oredlt exist only with the stability of sound money - It has become the fashion of late to de cry business as unpatriotic. Wo hear much of the "sordid considerations of capital," "employment," "Industrial on ergies," and "prosperous Ihbof." The United Sfates.dtfferlng from the Mediaeval renditions which govern bluer countries. differing' from the militarism which is the curse of European nations, differing from thrones which reat upoa the sword, is pre eminently and patriotically a commercial and a business nation. This commerce and business are synonymous with patriot, ism. When the farmer Is afield sowing and reaping the crops which find a market that remunerates him for his toll, when the laborer and artisan find work seek ing them and not themselves despairing of work, when the wage of the toiler prom, ises comfort for his iarolly and hope for his children, when the rail is burdened with the product of the soil and of the factory, when the spindles are humming and the furnaces are in blast. When the mine Is putting out its largest product and the national and Individual wealth are constantly increasing, when the homes owned unmortgaged by the people are more numerous uay Ly day and month by month, when the schouls are most crowd ed, the fairs most frequent and happy conditions most universal in the nation. then are promises fulltlled which mako these United States of America the homo of the oppresseJ and the land of the tree. It is to meet these condition and to meet them with a candidal who represents them und about whom there can be no question, that New York presents to you for the presidency under the unanimous instructions of two successive Republican rtate conventions the name of her gover nor, lvl P. Morton. New York is the cosmopolitan state of the Union. She is both a barometer and thermometer of -the changes of popular opinion and popular passion. She has been the pivotal commonwealth which has decided nearly every one of the national olecttons in this generation. She has more Yankees than any city in New England more southerners than any community in the south, and more native-born western. ers than any city In the west, and the rep- resentatlves of the Pacific coast within her borders have been men who have done much for the development of that glo rious region. These experienced and cos mopolltan citizens, with their fingers upon the pulses of tha finance and trade of me whole country, feel instantly ths condi tions that lead to disaster or to prosperity. Hence thoy swing the state sometime to the Republican and sometime to the Dem ocratic column. : , A GLORIOUS RECORD. In the. tremendous effort to break the hold whleh Democracy had upon our com monwealth, and which it had strengthened for ten successive years, we selected as our standard bearer the gentleman whom I present on behalf of our state here to day, and who carried New York, and took the legislature with him, by 136,000 major ity. We are building a navy, and the White squadron Is a forerunner ot a commerce which Is to whiten every sea and carry our flag Into every port of the world. Not our wish, perhaps, nor our ambitions prob ably, but our very progress and expansion have made us one of the family of nations. We can no longer, without hazard of un necessary frictions with other, govern ments, conduct our foreign policy except through the medium ot a skilled diplo macy. 'For four years as minister to France, when critical questions of the Im port of our products into that country were Imminent, Levi P. Morton learned and practiced successfully the diplomacy which was best for the prosperity or nis coutftry. None of the mistakes which have.dlcrcdlted our relations with foreign nations during tho past four years could occur under his administrations. He is tho best "Type of tho American business man that type which Is the Heal of school, the academy, and the college, that typo which tho mother presents to her boy In the western cabin and In the eastern tenement as she Is marking out for him a career by which he shell rise from nis poor surroundings to grasp the prizes which come through American liberty and American opportunity. Our present deplorable Industrial and flnnnclal conditions are largely due to tne fact that while we have a president and a cabinet of acknowledged ability, none of them have had business training or ex perience. They are persuasive reasoncrs upon Industrial questions, but have never practically solved Industrial problems. They are book farmers who raise wheat at the cost ot orchids and sell It nt the prlco of wheat. With Levi P. Morton there would be no deficiency to be met by the Issue ot bonds, there would be no blight on our credit which would call for the services of a syndicate, there would be no trifling with the delicate intricacies of finance and commerce which would paralyze the operations of trade and man ufacture. Whoever may be nominated by this convention will receive the cordial support, the enthusiastic advocacy of the Repub licans of New York, but In the shifting conditions of our commonwealth. Gov. ernor Morton can secure more than the party strength, and without question In the coming canvass, no matter what Issue may arlso between now anil November, place the Empire state solluly In the Re publican column. ALLISON'S NOMINATION. Speech of John N. Baldwin of Coun cil Blnlls, Iowa. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con vention : There Is one, but only one, of those whose names will be presented to this con vention who can claim that there has been placed for him In history's golden urn an estimate of his character and worth mado by him on whom nature stamped her royal seal; God exhibited as His great est design of American mahhood, genius, statesmanship and patriotism; who, now In heaven, wears a crown of deathless praise and whose great soul is a portion of eternity Itself, James O. Blaine. Ulalne writing to Garfield, said: "Then comes Allison. He Is true, kind, reason able, fair, honest and good. He Is method ical, Industrious and intelligent, and Would be a splendid man to sail along with smoothly and successfully." Complying with the request of the lowa delegation, I rise to propose to this con vention the nomination of him to whom this heritage was bequeathed William H. Allison, and to tiek you to make on the Old and New Testament of Republicanism. It takes a big man to represent tho state of Iowa In the congress of the United States for thirty-live years, but Senator Allison Is that man. With the most perfect knowledge of the details of all our political laws and their histories, with this statesmanlike Judgment which distinguishes the essen tial from the accidental, and the Immut able from the transitory, "with every look a cordlul smile, every gesture a caress," yet with a spirit of firm mold und purpose that no bribe or feast or palace could awe or swerve, he has for thirty-live years upon the floor of the horse and senate been fighting for the Interests of the peo ple; carrying onward und upward the na tion's legislative work; turning cranks out of place; unslmmerlng the culminat ing stars ot Democracy; unmasking the hidden purposes of corrupt measures, un til now he holds the place of ungrudged supremacy In the legislative halls of that mewt splendid of capitals. That which this this country has lost, Is that which It now socks, "Protection." To get It the people have worked hard, prayer fast, paid high and now let them have It. Allison does not believe In a tariff for revenue only, but In a tariff for protection and revenue Jointly. He hns always Insisted that the protec tive system Is tho mightiest Instrument for the development of our na'ural re sources and the strongest agency to pro tect American weulth and American la bor. Protection built the laborer his American home, and he never again will welcome therein Demoerntlc sirens Flint. lug free trade Bonus written and composed by English bards, for having chiselled , tho principles of protection In his hearth stone, ho will at the next election defend them nt his front gate. w The great and Impartsnt Issue Tfchleh Is just now coming around the corner Is the one of sound money, and we can no more dodge It than we can gravitation. For Simteor Allison you cannot build too strongly a platform for sound money, and It you place him upon It ho Will seo to It that the dry rot of Is to t does not steal through its staunch timbers. The United 8tates caa no more make good money by simply placing Its symbol of sovereignty or mark of authority on any kind of metal, regardless ot its Vom. merclal value or relations to foreign coun. tries, than it caa extend its domain by calling a furlong a mile. He believes that the American dollar should have some grains ot sense as well aa more of silver. That there can be no stability to our currency or money. If we keep adopting such shifting policies that under tbem the same piece may be a coi per cent in one hand or a dollar in another. He believes that unlimited coinage would soon lead to unlimited bankruptcy. No honest farmer would borrow from his neighbor a bushel of fifty-cent wheat and insist upon paying it back witn a bushel of twenty-ttv.cent oats, and so this great government cannot expect to keep Its credit at he highest point It it borrows a dollar ot gold and lnsts upon paying back with ntly-cent silver, any other construction of tho word "coin" in any laws or any contracts to the contrary notwithstanding. The platform ot this convention must be for sound money, and in clear, ringing, unmistakable terms. On any other con struction ot It tho party may get into power, but the country would be In dan ger of falling into the butch ot bankrupt governments, and ut the end of the party's administration It would probably have-no more ot an estate than did Rabelais, whose will, when opened read: "In the name of God, Amen. 1 have nothing. I owe much. 1 give the rest to the poor.'! "At the time when nation wildly looks at natioti standing with mute lips apurt. Allium did not meet with clinched list the proffered hand of international adjust' ment. However, he has stood unswerv ingly by the Monroe doctrine and insist ed that the United States should recognize any people struggling for liberty and Re publican institutions, even if they were Insurgents in Ccba. . Nominate him and not now. perhaps,' but when the strife Is over his name will fall like mlllenial music on your ears. Nom. Inate him and a thrill ot Joy will go. from the west to the east, carrying on Its trembling way the stings of our reapers only to be lost In the roar of your furnaces. Nominate him and when our corn grows gold in autumn's time, our flocks teeming and our granges full, every spindle will be turning day and night upon the Merrlmac. It you do this, light will break upon our darkened land and Instantly a long suffer ing people will hear the surges of return ing prosperity. May the spell ot Republicanism have greater power to move you than the spell of maglo words. In this hour of anxious expectancy; in-this hour pregnant with history, prophecy and destiny, the grave gives up its mighty dead and they are here Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Blaine, yea all the illustrious dead of the Republican party; end mingling with its living advo cates, martyred Lincoln's spirit pleads witn you to see to It that "these dead shall not have died In vain." FRANKLIN FORT'S SPEECH. Nominating Unrrct A. Hobart, of New Jersey for Vice-President. I rise to present to this' convention h claims of New Jersey to the vice presi dency. We come because we feel that w enn for the first time in our history bring .o you a promise that our electoral vote will oe cast for your nominees. If you comniv with our request this promise will surely be redeemed. For forty years, through tho blackness or darkness ot a universal triumphant De moerey, the Republicans of New Jersey have maintained their organization and fought as valiantly as If the outcome were to be assured victory. Only twice through all this long period has the sun shono In upon us. Yet, through all these weary years, we nave, like Goldsmith's "Cap tive." felt that Hope, like the gleaming taper's light, Adorns and cheers our way; And still, as darker grows the night, Emits a brighter ray." The fulfillment of this hope came In 1891 In that year for the first time Blnce the Republican party came Into existence, we sent to congress a solid delegation of eight Republicans, and elected a Republl. cun to the United States senate. We fol lowed this In 1895 by electing a Republl can governor by a majority of 28,000. And In this year of grace we expect to give the Republican electors a majority ot not less than 20,000. I come to you, then, today In behalf -if a new New Jersey, a politically redeemed and regenerated state. Old things have passed away, and behold, all things have become new. It is muny long years since New Jersey has received recognition by a national convention. When Henry Cloy stood for protection In 184-1, new jersey furnished Theodore Kre linghuysen as his associate. The issue then was the restoration of the tariff, and was more nearly like that of today than at any other period, which I can recall. In the nation's political hlHtory. In 1S5G when the freedom of man brought the Re. publican party Into existence and the great "Pathfinder" was called to lead, New Jersey furnished for that unequal contest William L. Dayton, as the vice presidential candidate, gince'then, count Ing for nothing, we have asked for noth ing. During this period Maine has had a candidate for president and a vice presl. dent; Massachusetts a vice president four vice presidents, one of whom be tame president for almost a full term Indiana a president, a candidate for pres Ident and a vice president; Illinois a presl dent twice and a vico presidential candl ate; Ohio, two presidents, and now a can didate for the third time; Tennessee, vice presldenti who became president for almost a full term. We believe that the vice presidency In 1S9I should be given to New Jersey. Wo have reasons for our dplnlon. We have ten electoral votes; we have carried the state In the elections of '93, 'M and 'Vo we hope and believe we can keep tho state In the Republican column for all time, I'.y your action today you can greatly aid us If the party In any state Is deserving of approval, for the sacrifice of Its rfiembers to maintain Its organization, then the K publicans of New Jersey, In this, the hour of their ascendnncy, after long years of bitter defeat, loel that they cannot cotno to this convention in vain. We appeal to our brethren In the south, who know with us what It is to be overridden by fraud on the ballot box, to be counted out by cor rupt election officers; to be dominated by an nrrogant, unrelenting Democracy, Will you not make New Jersey sure to take their place In case of need? We have In ull theae long years of Republicanism been the "lone star" Democratic state In the north. Our forty years of wandering In the wilderness of Democracy are cnd.Mt Our- Eevntlun darkness disappears. We are" on the hill-top looking Into the prom Ised land.

DEMOCRATIC MISRULE Allegiance to the Policy of Protection RenewedHold Standard Mast Be PreservedA Firm and Vigorous Foreign Programme Is Advocated. Sympathy for Cuba. Bt Louis, June 18. The following Is the full text of the report of the com mittee on resolution of the National Re publican convention,' which was pre sen ted by the committee today: Platform The Republicans of the United States, assembled by their repre sentatives In national convention, ap pealing for the popular and historical Justification of their claims to the matchless achievements of thirty years of Republican rule, earnestly and confidently uddress themselves to the awakened Intelligence, experience and conscience of their countrymen In the following declaration of facts and prin ciples:' RESULT OP DEMOCRATIC CON TROL. For tho flint time Hlnce theIvll war the American people have witnessed the calamitous consequences of full and un restricted Democratic control of the government. It has been a record ot unparalled Incapacity, dishonor and disaster. ' In administrative manage ment It haa ruthlessly sacrificed indis pensable revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit, eked out ordinary current ex penses with borrowed money, piled up the public debt by I2H2.000.000 in time or peace, forced an adverse balance of trade, kept a perpetual menace hanging over the redemption fund, pawned American credit to alien syndicates and reversed all the measures and results ot successful Republloan fulc. In the broad effect of Us policy It has precipi tated panic, blighted Industrv and trade with prolonged depression, closed fac tories, reduced work and wages, halted enterprise and crippled American pro ductlon, while stlmulating'forelgn pro- ductlon for the American market. Every conslderatlon'of public safety and In dividual Interest demands that the gov ernment shall be rescued from the hands of those who have shown them selves Incapable of conducting It with out disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and shall be restored to the party which for thirty years adminis tered It with unequalled success and prosperity, and in this connection we heartly endorse the wisdom, the patriot- Ism and the success of the administra tion of President Harrison. AMERICAN INDUSTRIES. ' Tariff .We renew and emphasize our allegiance to the policy of protection as the bulwark of American Industrial in dependence and the foundation , of American development and prosperity. This true American policy taxes for elgn products and encourages home In dustry; It puts the burden of revenue on foreign goods; It secures the Ameri can market for the American producer; It upholds the American standard of wages for the American worklngman; It puts the factory by the side of the farm and makes the American farmer less dependent on foreign demand and price; It diffuses general thrift and founds the strength of all on the strength of each. In Its reasonable ap plication It Is Just, fair and Impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, to sectional dis rlinlnatlon and Individual favortlsm. We denounce the present Democratic tariff as sectional. Injurious to the pub lie credit and destructive to business enterprises. AVe demand such an eqult able tariff on foreign Imports which come Into competition with American products, as will not only furnish ade quate revenue for the necessary ex penses of the government, but will pro tect American labor from degradation to tho level ot other lands. We are not Pledged to any particular schedules. The question of rates Is a practical aueston to be governed by the condl tlons of the time and production; the ruling and uncompromising principle Is the protection and development of American labor and Industry. The coun try, demands a right settlement and then It wants rest. ' RECIPROCITY. ' Reciprocity We believe the repeal ot the reciprocity arrangements negotlat ed by the last Republican administra tion was a national calamity; and we demand their renewal and extension on such terms as will equalize our trade with other nations, remove the restrlc tlons which now obstruct the sale of American products In the ports of other countries and secure enlarged markets for the products of farms, forests nnd factories. Protection and reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy and go hand In hand. Democratic rule has recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-established. Protec tion for what we produce; free admis sion for the necessaries of life which we do not produce; reciprocal agree ments of mutual Interest which gain open markets for us In return for our open market to others. Protection builds up domestic Industry and trade, and secures our own market for our selves; reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our sur plus. SUGAR, WOOL, WOOLENS. Sugar We condemn the present ad ministration for not keeping faith with the sugar producers of this country. The Republican party favors such pro tection as will li-ad to the product i-m on American soil of all the sugar which the American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than $100,000,000 annually. Wool and Woolens To all our pro ductsto those of tho. mine nnd tho field, as well ns those of the shop and factory to hemp to wool, the product nt the great Industry of sheep hus bandry, ns well as to the finished wool lens of the mill we promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine Wo favor restoring the early American policy of discrimin ating duties for the upbuilding of our merchnnt marine nnd the protection of our shipping In the foreign carrying trade, so that American 3hlps the pro duct of American labor, employed In American shipyards, sailing under tho stars and stripes, and manned, ofllcered nnd owned 'by Americans may regain the carrying of our foreign commerce. GOLD STANDARD. Money The Republican party Is un reservedly for sound money. It caused tho enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie payments In 1879; since then every dollar hns been ns good as gold. We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency or Impair the credit ot our country. We are, there fore, opposed to the free coinage of bII ver except by International agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which wo pledge otir.iclve to promote, nnd until ouch agreement can be obtained, the existing gold standr.rd must be preserved. All our silver nnd paper currency lnuf.t be mnlntnlned nt parity with gold, and wie tavor r.i'i measures designed to maintain Inviolably tho obligations of the United States und all our money, whether coin or paper, nt the present dtanrlard, the standard of the most en lightened nations of the earth. Pensions The veterans of the union armies des.-'-vo and demand fair treat ment and generpus recognition. When ever practicable they should be given the preference In the matter ot employ ment, and they are entitled to tha enactment of such laws as are best cal culated to secure the fulfillment of tha . pledges made to them In the dark days of the country's peril. We denounce) the practice in the pension bureau, so recklessly and unjustly carried on by the present administration of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping names fom the rolls, as deserving the severest condemnation ot the American people. , VIGOROUS FOREIGN POLICY. Foreign Relations Our foreign poller should be at all times firm, vigorous and dignified and all cur Interests In the western hemisphere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian Islands -should be controlled by thi United States and no foreign power should be permitted to Interfere with them; the Nicaragua, canal should bo built, owned and operated by the United States; nnd ' by the purchase of the Danish, Islands we should secure a proper and much needed neval station In the West In dies. Armenian Massacres The massacres In Armenia haw aroused the deep sym athy and just Indignation of tho Amer ican people, and we believe that the United States should exercise all the In fluence It can properly exert to bring these atrocities to an end. In Turkey American residents have been exposed to the gravest dangers and American property destroyed. There and every where American citizens and American property must be absolutely projected at all hazards and at any cost. UPHOLDINO MONROE DOCTRINE.. Monroe Doctrine We reassert the Monroe Doctrine in Its full extent and reaffirm the right of the United States to give ths doctrine effect by responding to the appeals of any American state for friendly Intervention in case of- European enoraachment. We have not Interfered, and shall not Interfere, with the existing possessions of any Euro pean power In this hemlsphcire, but those possessions must not, on any pre text, be extended. We hopefully look forward to the eventual withdraw! of the European powere from this, hem Is-, phere to the ultimate union of all the English-speaking people of the conti nent by J.he free consent of its Inhabi tants. INFLUENCE IN CUBA'S BEHALF. Cuba From tho hour of achieving their own Independence the people ot the United States have regarded with sym pathy the struggle's of other American peoples to frte themselves from Euro pean denomination. We watch, with deep and abiding Interest the herolo battle of the Cuban patrkts against cruelty and oppression, snd our best hopes go out for tho full success of their determined contest tor liberty. The government of Spain having lost con trol of Cuba, and being unable to pro tect the, property or lives of resident American citizens, or to comply with Its treaty obligations, we believe that ttha government of the United States should actively use its lnlluence and good of. flcca to restore peace and give Independ ence to' the island. NEED OF NAVAL STRENGTH. The Navy The peace and security of the republic and the maintenance of Its rightful Influence 'among the nations of the earth demand a naval power com mensurate with Its position and respon sibility. 'We, therefore, favor the con-, tinued enlargement of the navy and a complete system of harbor and taa. coast defences. Foreign Immigration For the protec tion of the equality of our American citi zenship, and of th wages of our work ing men against the fatal rompC'tltlon of low-priced labor, we demand that the Immigration laws be thoroughly enforc ed and so extended ns toi exclude from entnace to the United Sta tes those who can neither read nor write. CIVIL, SERVICE, FREE BALLOT AND LYNCHINGS. Civil Service The civil service law was placed on the statue book by the Republican party whleh has always sus tained It, and we renew our repeated declarations that it shall be thoroughly enforced. Free Ballot We demand that every citizen of the United States shall be al lowed to cast one free and unrestricted ballot, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned as ce.t. Lynching!! We proclaim our unquali fied condemnation of the uncivilized and baiTlmrous practices, well known 03 lynching or killing of human beings, suspected or charged with crime, with out process of law. National Arbitration Wo favor- the creation of a national board of arbitra tion to settle and adjust differences which may arise between employer and employed engaged In lnter-slate com merce. Homesteads We believe In an Imme diate return to 'the free homestead act of the Republican party, nnd urco the passage by congt'efa of the satisfactory free homestead measuro which has al ready passed the house and Is now pending In the senate. Territories Wefavortheadmlsslon of the remaining terrltorles nt the earliest practicable date, having due regards to the Interests of th people of the terri tories nnd of the United States, All the federal officers appointed for the terri tories should be selected from bona-fide residents thereof, nnd the right of self government should be accorded as far as practicable. Alaska We believe the citizens of Alaska should have representation In congress of the United States, to Ithe end that needful legislation may be 1m medlnti ly enacted. TEMPERANCE AND WOMEN'S RIGHTS. Temperance We sympathize with all wise and legitimate efforts to lesson and prevent the evils ot Intemperance and promote morality. Rights of Women The Republican party Is mindful ef 'the rluht nnd Inter ests of women. Protection of American Industries Include j'qtml opportunities equal pay fcr equal work, and protection to the home. We f.ivor the admission of women to wider spheres of usefulness, and welcome their co-uv: ration In res cuing the country from Democratic and Populist mismanagement and misrule. Such are the principles and policies itf the ltepubllcan party. By these principles we will abld and these policies we will put Into execution. We ask for them the considerate judg ment of th'? American people. Confident alike n the history of our great party and IntheJuptlcooC our cause. we present our platform and our candidates In tho full assurance that the election will bring victory to the Republican party nnd prosperity to th? people of the United States. - . t'XKKST. These ore busy old days In political lines; Tho candidates scarcely kin cat; They're so occupied -wltchln' fur wicked designs An' soumlln' each person they meet. They're strlvln' an' stiuuglln' tcr conquer the dread Of biln' put by on the shelf, Each thro win' a brick ut the other man's) head An' throwln' bouquets at hlsself. I somehow suspect thet they oft fall tor gnln A reward wuth sech efforts cz these; Thet even success doesn't quite reach tha pin no Of dignity mingled wcth case. But they stay up at night when they should be q-bed, An' squunder their strength an' their volt, Each throwln' a brick at the other man's head An' throwln' bouquets at hlaself. Washington Utar.
