THE SPEECHES
AT NOMINATION
SENATOR rOBAKER NAMES
PRESIDENT M'KINLEY.
Governor Roosevelt Named by Col
onel Lnfayetto Young, of Iown A
Glowing Eulogy of the President
by the Senator from Ohio Enthus
iasm Aroused.
Philadelphia, Juno 21.t-Scnator Fora
ker's speech, nominating the president,
follows:
"Mr. chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: Alabama yields to Ohio,
and I thank Alabama for that accom
modation. Alabama has so yielded,
however, by reason of a fact that
would seem In nn Important sense to
make the duty that has been assigned
to mo a superfluous duty, for AUibama
has yielded because of the fact that
our candidate for thu presidency has
In fact been already nominated (Ap
plause). He was nominated by the dis
tinguished senator from Colorado when
he assumed the duties of temporary
chairman. He was nominated again
yesterday by the distinguished sena
tor from Massachusetts when he took
the otllce of permanent chairman; and
he was nominated for a third time when
the senator from Indiana yesterday
read us the platform (Applause). And
not only has he been thus nominated
by this convention, but ho has been
nominated by the whole American peo
ple (Applause). From one end of this
land tb the other, in every mind, only
one and the same man is thought of
for the honor which we nre now about
to confer, and that man Is the llrst
choice of every other man who wishes
Republican success next November
(Applause). On this account It Is that
It Is not necessary for me or any one
'else to speak for him hero or else
where. He has already spoken for him
self (applause) and to all the world.
He has a record replete with brilliant
achievements (npplausc), a record that
speaks at onco both his performances
and his highest eulogy. It compre
hends both peace nnd war, nnd consti
tutes the most striking Illustration pos
sible of triumphant nnd inspiriting
fidelity and success In the discharge of
public duty.
"Four years ago the American peo
ple confided to him their highest nnd
most sacred trust. Behold with what
results. Ho found the Industries of
this country paralyzed and prostrated,
and has quickened them with a new
life that has brought to the American
people a prosperity unprecedented in
nil their history. Ho found the labor
of this country e-verywhere idle; he has
given it everywhere employment. He
found it everywhere in despair; he has
made it everywhere prosperous and
buoyant with hope. He found the mills
and shops and factories and mines
everywhere closed; they are now every
where open.
Wise Guidance.
"And while wo "here deliberate they
are sending their surplus products in
commercial conquest to the very ends
of the earth. Under his wise guidance
our financial standard has been firmly
planted high above and beyond assault,
and the wild cty of sixteen to one. so
full of terror nnd long hair In 1S00, has
been put to everlasting sleep along
side of the lost cause nnd other cher
ished Democratic heresies, in the cata
combs of American politics. (Applause.)
With a diplomacy never excelled and
rarely equalled he has overcome what
nt times seemed to be insurmountable
difficulties and has not only opened to
us the door of China, but ho has ad
vanced our Interests in every land.
"Mr. Chairman, wo are not surprised
by this, for we anticipated it all. "When
we nominated him at St. Louis four
years ago we knew he was wise, we
knew he was brave, wo knew he was
patient, we knew he would be faithful
and devoted, nnd wo knew that the
greatest possible triumphs of peace
would bo his: but we then little knew
that he would be called upon to en
counter also the trials of war. That
unusual emergency came. It came un
expectedlyas wnrs generally come. It
came In spite of all he could honor
ably do to avert It. It came to find
the country unprepared for It, but It
found him equal to nil its extraordi
nary requirements. (Applause.) And
it is no exaggeration that in nil Ameri
can history there Is no chapter more
brilliant than that which chronicle
with him as our commander In chief
our victory on land nnd sea. (Applause.)
In one hundred days we drove Spain
from the western hemisphere, girded
the earth with our acquisition and
filled the world with splendor of our
power. (Applause.) The American
name has a now nnd greater signifi
cance now. Our flag has a new glory.
It not only symbolizes human liberty
nnd political equality at home, but It
means freedom and independence for
the long-suffering patriots of Cuba
and complete protection, education,
enlightenment, uplifting nnd ultimate
local self-government and the enjoy
ment of all the blessings of liberty to
the millions of Porto Rico nnd the Phil
ippines. What we have so gloriously
done for ourselves we propose most
generously to do for them. (Applause.)
We have so declared In tho plat
form that we have adopted. A fitting
place it is for this party to make such
declaration here in this magnificent
city of Philadelphia, where the evi
dences eo abound of the rich blessings
the Republican party has brought to
the American people; hero at the birth
place of the nation where our own dec
laration of Independence was udopted
nnd our constitution wns formed:
where Wahslngton and Jefferson and
Hancock and John Adams and their il
lustrious associates wrote their im
mortal works; hero where centers so
many historic memories that stir the
blood and flush tho cheek and excite
tho sentiments of human liberty and
patriotism is indeed n most fitting
place for the party of Lincoln nnd
Grant and Garfield nnd I31alne (ap
plause); the party of union and liberty
for all men to formally dedicate them
selves to this great' duty. Wo are now
In the midst of its discharge. We could
not turn back if wc would, and we
would not if we could. (Applause). We
are on trial beforfl the world and must
triumphantly meet our responsibilities
or Ignomlnlously fall in the presence of
mankind. These responsibilities speak
to this convention hero and now. and
' command us that wo choose to bo our
randidato and tho next president
which is one and the name thing tho
best fitted man for the discharge of
this great duty In all tho republics.
(Applause).
None So Well Qualified.
On that point there is no difference
of opinion. No man in all the nation
Is so wall qualified for this trust nsltho
great leader under whom tho work has
been no far conducted. Ho has tho
head, he has tho heart, he has the spe
cial knowledge and tho special experi
ence that qualifies him beyond nil oth
ers. And, Mr, Chairman, he hns also
tho ntatnless reputation and character,
nnd has led the blameless life that en
dearn him to his countrymen and give
to him tho confidence, the respect, tho
admiration, the love nnd tho affection
of the whole American people. (Ap
plause). He Is an ideal man, represent
ing the highest type of American citi
zenship, an ideal candidate nnd nn
Ideal president. With our banner In
his hands lfr will be carried to trium
phant victory In November next. (Ap
plause). In the name of all these considera
tions, not alone on behalf of his be
loved state of Ohio, but on behalf of
every other state and territory hero
represented, nnd In tho name of all Re
publicans everywhere throughout our
Jurisdiction, I nominate to be our next
candidate lor the presidency William
McKlnlcy.
ROOSEVELT'S NOMINATION.
Address In Which, Colonel Young, of
Iown, Put tho Governor's Name
Before the Convention.
The following is the speech of Col
onel Lafayette Young, of Iowa, in pre
senting the name of Colonel Roosevelt:
"Gentlemen of the Convention: 1
have listened with profround Interest
to the numerous Indictments pro
nounced against the Democratic party,
and ns nn impartial reader of history
I am compelled to confess that the in
dictments are all only too true. If I
urn to Judge, however, by the enthusi
asm of the hour, the Republican relief
committee sent our four years ngo to
carry supplies and succor to tho proa
tiate Industries of tho republic has
returned to make formal report that
tho duty has been discharged (Ap
plause). I could add nothing to this
Indictment, except to say that this un
fortunate party through four years of
legislative and administrative control
had made it, up to 1896, impossible for
an honest man to get Into debt or to
get out of it (Laughter).
"Hut, my fellow citizens, you know
my purpose; you know the heart of
this convention. The country never
called for patriotic sons from nny
given family but more were offered
than there was room for on the enlist
ment roll. When this convention and
this great party called for a candidate
for vice-president, two voices respond
ed, one from tho Mississippi Valley by
birth, another by loving affection and
adoption. It Is my mission, represent
ing that part of the great Louisiana
purchase, to withdraw one of those and
suggest that the duty be placed upon
the other. I therefore withdraw the
name of Jonathan P. Dolllver, of Iowa,
a man born with the thrill of the Lin
coln and Fremont campaigns In his
heart and with the power to stir the
hearts and consciences of men as part
of his birthright. We turn to this oth
er adopted son of the great middle
west, and at this moment I recall that
two years ago today as many men as
there are men and women In this great
hall were on board sixty transports
lying off Santiago harbor In full view
of the bay, with Moro Castle looming
up on the right and another fort on
another prominence upon the left, with
the opening of the channel between.
On boards those transports were 20,000
soldiers who had gone from our shores
to liberate another race, to fulfill no
obligation but that of humanity.
Great Spectacle.
"As campaign followers there were
those who witnessed this great spec
tnclo of that fleet, nnd on the ship
Yuen tan was that famous regiment of
Rough Riders of the far west nnd the
Mississippi valley. (Applause.) In
commnnd of that regiment was that
fearless young American, student,
scholar, plainsman, reviewer, historian,
statesman, soldier, of the middle-west
by adoption, of New York by birth.
That fleet sailing around tho point
coming to the plnce of landing, stood
off the harbor, two years ago tomor
row, and the navy bombarded that
shore to make a place for landing, and
no man who lives who was In that
campaign as an offlcer, as a soldier or
as a camp follower, can fall to recall
tho spectacle; and if he closes his eyes
he see.-i the awful scenes in that cam
paign in June and July, 1S9S. There
were those who stood upon tho shore
and saw these Indomitable men land,
landing In small boats through the
waves that dashed against the shore,
landing without harbor, but land they
did, with their accoutrements on nnd
theii weapons by their sides. And
those who stood upon that shore nnd
saw those men come on thought they
could see in their faces, 'Stranger, can
you tell me the nearest road to San
tiago"' (Applause.)
"That is the place they were looking
for. And tho leader of that campaign,
of one of those regiments, shall bo
the name that I snail place before
this (.'onventlon for the office of vice
president of the United States. (Ap
plause.) "Gentlemen of the Convention I
know you have been here a long time
and that you have had politics In
abundance. I know the desire to com
plete the work of this convention, but
I cannot forbear to say that this occa
sion has a higher significance than one
of politics. The campaign of this year
is higher than politics. In fact, if
patriotism could have its way there
would be but one political party nnd
but one electoral ticket in any state
of the Union, because patriotic duty
would enforce It. In many respects the
years 1S9S and 1S99 have been the great
years of the republic.
"There Is not under nny sun or nny
clime any man or government that
dares to Insult tho flag of the United
States. Not one. We are a great and
a broader people on account of thes
achievements. Uncle Sam has been
made n cosmopolitan citizen of the
world. No one questions his prowess
or his bravery as the result of these
campaigns and as the result of the
American spirit, my fellow-citizens,
the American soldier, ten thousand
miles away from home, with a musket
in his hands, says to the aggressor, to
those who are In favor of tyranny:
'Halt! Who comes there?" and the
same spirit says to the beleaguered
hosts of liberty: 'Hold the fort, for I
am c,omlng.' Thus spoke the spirit of
Americanism. Now, gentlemen of tho
convention, I place before you this dis
tinguished leader of Republicanism of
tho United States, this leader of the
aspirations of tho people, whose hearts
are right, and this leader of the as
pirations of tho young men of this
country. Their hearts and consciences
nre with this young leader, whom I
shall name for the vice-presidency of
the United States, Theodore Roosevelt,
of New York." (Loud cheering.)

Hou) to Avoid
Seasickness
Herman Partrch, Jl. V., In the Medical Kecord.
MAKK no preparation calculated to avoid
ea-flckncM. Continue In your umal
waj. A steamer chair will proc a, de
tlrahle convenience if the loyago la to
lie long nnd tho Weather happen to lie kooI. (Jet
en board a liilf-hour before nailing, Ret )our
cabin and tmall luggage arranged to suit you,
and hue nothing to do but tale care of your
aelt niter the ship starts. Slices should be warm,
comfortable, and easily put off or on. Besides
being comfortable, have all clothing an conven.
hnt as practicable for drewlng ami undressing,
ltoomi amtdshlp are preferable. Atoiil the ex
treme ends of the ship, (food facilities for ven
tilation are tty noccsAiry. Stno to hac the
air Icsldc of the room about as good as outside,
even when you are in It; do at least tho best
J oil can under the circumstances toward this
end, Two sufficiently large openings to the
room are necessary. Good, clean, fres.i air Is of
the greatest importance to the susceptible lav
senger. There is no danger from draughts,
Second-hand air Is a fador In the causation of
tcasUuncs.
o
Weather and condition of health permitting
slay on deck much of tho time, In a steamer
thalr, In a seml-rccumbent position, comfortably
coered and ejes closed. Anywhere en ship, In
berth or chair, keep the eyes closed duiing the
da time, with exceptions of short duration, un
til immunity from optical vertigo Is acquired.
Tims you will exclude optical crtlgo, by whi
arc meant that dizziness ai.d nausea which arc
often consequent on tho continued observation
of unusual relations amorg our environs, and
between them and ourrehra. Whenever tho
slightest sensation of illness is felt, lie down nt
once and close the eyes. Use only one plllo'r,
or if quite sick, or it seems likely that vou will
be, have the head even below the level of tho
body, with no pillow for a while. I have seen
the pillow make all the difference between great
misery and almost absolute- comfort.
o
Steamship motion can be anal zed Into twenty-six
different factors. It Is therefore very
complicated and, of course, incomprehensible at
first. Hie many variations occur to the passin
ger unawares. His animal mechanism cannot
adjust itaclf to them, because he cannot nt first
foreknow them. The case becomes much like
that of going up or down stairs in tho dark and
finding one step more or less than was expected,
Tho variations not being adjusted to, because
not foreknown, violence of seine kind Is the re
sult. The disturbances occur in a continued ser
ies, eacli very slight, but the scries results in
an accumulated sum of violence which wc call
seasickness. What is llrst disturbed in tho ani
mal mechanism is the vao-ncrnu system, tint
which controls the circulation of the blood, and,
ils a result, the ciiculation itself mint of course
be disturbed. The first important result is a
relaxation of the blood-v-els in the abdominal
cavity; thoc vessels having much less outsilo
support than those that traverse muscular tis
sue. 0
Tho second effect Is the gravitation of blood
into the relaxed vessels, thus permitting the
occurremce of a dellciincy in the brain. One
result of this deficiency in the brain is the sen
sation called nausea. This mechanical deficiency
of blood in the brain, with iU corresponding
sensation (nausea), is to be avoided when ob
served to bo approaching, and corrected when
already present, by lying down with the head
no higher than the body. If the patient docs
not promptly lie down, retching will take place.
Itctchlng is nature's method of flooding tho
brain with blood, by squee7iiig the contents of
the abdominal cavity in such ,1 manner as to
force upward some o' tho excess of blood con
tained in Its relaxed vessels. The regurgitation
of food or fluids from the stomach is merely
incidental, and not essential. The stomach has
nothing to do with seasickness except to be in
cidentally and accidentally implicated, Ily the
lime a patient has been seasick two or three
ihjs, and his forces have rcgirdloss of his con
sent been heavily drawn upon by many hours
of retching, and having meanwhile, of course,
not profited by anything swallowed, he will be
buffering from poverty of blood. The sense of
hunger will be oliscured by the nausea,
Even while llng elown, a susceptible passen
ger will not escape seasickness if his blood be
comes impoverished in respect of nutritive ma
terial; and, having been seasick, be cannot
recover while his blood remains so impoverished.
To prevent seasickness one must keep his blond
saturated with nutritive material. To recover
from seasickness one must saturate his blood
with nutritive material. For this purpose one
must eat, and if unable to cat enough at a
time, he must eat oftener. To eat seven tunes
a day is about right; the three regular meals,
ten to fifteen minutes before rising, half-way
between meals, and at bedtime. Always eat and
drink at least ten minutes before rising in the
morning. It matters little what it is, provided
only it is what you want. Porter or stout is
good, so are hard sour apples. At sea we may
find ourselves liking and longing for things that
wo hardly ever think of on shore. Whatever ou
really want, that is the best thing to take; ami
porter or stout is always good, whether oii
want it or not. Whatever is taken before rising
must be so conveniently available as not to le
quire the patient to raise his head. In case of
porter or stout, the glass nitiat be dispensed
with and the liquid taken directly from the
bottle.
o
When one is already seasick, those liquid
foods are best which require least digestion, arc
most rapidly absorbed, and yield the quickest
returns beer, ale, porter, stout, broths, soups,
meat extracts. These cannot all bo prescribed
with success; they should only be suggested--then
the patient will choose which he wants, ami
the stomach will agree on tho choice. The sick
er the patient the oftener he must eat and the
less ut a time, and when he feels a repugnance
to all other foods, porter or stout taken wllli
out raising the head, directly from the bottle,
a mouthful at a time, at about flve-minutc in
tervals, will prove a great success. If jou -ire
able to be up and about and arc regularly going
to meals, then alwavs lt down immediately af
ter eating, about fifteen minutes at least. At
tabic do not wait, but begin eating at once on
something, or delay going to table until the
riuh Is over, or stipulate with your waiter for
immediate attention. When done, do not wait,
but go directly to your berth or elsewhere and
He down. Whenever there appears the slightest
sensation of hunger, or nausea, or any inde
scribable sense of dlsccmfort about the stomach,
or in the head, cat and He down.
The worst case of seasick retching will easily
be made comparatively comfortable in thirty
minutes or less, by lying down without a pillow,
closing the ees and taking a pint of porter or
stout in six doses nt five-minute intervals. An
other food for such an emergency, but not so
good as stout, is made by mixing well tliejolks
of two raw fresh eggs with an equal bulk of
good brmdy. Give a teaspoonful at ten-minute
intervals. If you do not feel quite well with
a pillow, remove it, and jou will feel better.
This is very important. Hetchlng occurs in par
oxsms at intervals more or less regular. The
best time to take the malt beverage, or any oth.
er food, is just after a paroxysm of retching.
Should it be taken before, and thrown up, then
take another dose immediately after tho par
oxysm. That will 6tay down, because the next
paroxysm will not occur under ten to fifteen
minutes, and by that time the patient has had
the benefit of the dose, or several doses, and
should not retch at all, So after casting up an
entire meal it is proper to go and straightway
eat another, which Is not likely to como up.
Avoid all needless expci diture ot mental or mus
cular energy, Talking, reading, and listening
are done at the expense of power, which the
patient may not have to spare, and should bo
reduced to a minimum by the susceptible at sea.
o
Seatlckress it sometimes acccmpanlcd by se
vere headtche or by much mental uneasiness.
If thefe do not yield to the ticatment already
prescribed, then bromide of sodium may be given
in a dosn of half a teaspoonful of the dry pow.
der in a little water; repeat the dose in an
hour if necessary. The bromide of sodium may
be used with the patient's food as salt (whbii
it much resembles in appearance and taste), but
only while the necessity for it continues.
Should there be any doubt about its necessity,
do not use the bromide at all.
