And conquer in the (ray
So you believe
That love will live
For ever and a day !

I shouldn't say "no one," either;
for Jack's wlfo had a way of fiudiiig

laid before hor, with glowing plcturos
of what would como of it.
"Oh, Jack," the littlo woman would
sigh, "I am afraid it'll uever amount

The convention was harmonious through
out. An eagle was adopted as the party emblem
to be placed at tne liaad of the ballots.
Durlmr the sea-ton the Duke of Veragua
entered by aide door and was shown to a
box decorated with Spanish Hags. He was
instantly recognized and heartily cheered
by the delegates. The Duke remained for a
few moments and watched the proceedings
with evident interest.
Governor McKlnley, after accenting tht
nomination, reviewed the work of hia ad
ministration and the State issues nd said;
"The National Demorralio Administra
tion hat done nothing thus far, except to
create in the minds of business men a deep
distrust, 'J he financial situation which for
Ihe most part has prevailed since the 4th ol
March, haa not been 1 1 proved, nor h s ihe
financial stringency been relieved hy any
thing the National administration has asld
or done. The $100,000,01)0 of gold riaerve
of which Mr. Cleveland in his first admin
istration set apart as a sacred fund to redeem
the greenbacks and which sum he dedicated
to that puriose and no other, has been en
croached upon. Mr. Cleveland's course hat
Justified the alarm. He put up the danger
signal and the country took note of it and
was naturally most distrustful and disturb,
d,
Tl e Democratic victory of 1902 haa not
been able to bring the better times pro-i Is
ed. Il has not been able to maintain tht
good times which were enjoyed everywhere
in this country on the day of the victory.
Business failures have increased, banns
have suspended, money is harder to borrow,
and borowers are compelled to pay higher
interest for their loans than for many. many
years. Feverish uncertainty prevails in
every financial and business circle,
"Notice has gone forth that not only is tht
tariff to be revised, but that the enion list
ia to be revised. War Is to be waged upon
the pensioners ot the country. No honest
man will object to a purging of this roll of
all who are unworthy there. Every cast
must rest u 011 its own facta. I do not ob
ject to unworthv men being taken from it
aa such but I do object to the impression
which in some quarters Is being made that
the pension business is a fraud. No outlay
ot the Government ia mora worthily be
stowed or more widely distributed than tha
money that goes to the soldiers of the coun
try in Ihe form of pensions. It should be
remembered that pensions are better than
standing armies,
"This ia the time for all good citizens to
help inspire faith in the future and dispel
fear and apprelienaio'.i now ao prevalent in
business and financial circles."
The plat lorm adopted indorses the prin
ciples of the Minneapolis convention, tht
administrations of President Harrison and
Governor McKlnley, favors biennial aeS'
liona of the' State legislature and says:
"We favor the policy of full and adeqnatt
protection to American la1 or industries
The best exemplification of tlx reciprocity
that has 'ound expr asion in the statutes is
Ihe McKlnley act. We cordially declare out
adhesion to tht doctrines of that great
measure and favor such anion In enta there

may show to be advisable.
"We adhere to tlie Republican policy of
granting pensions 10 the wounded and dis
abled Lnion soldiers and sailors of ihe lata
war, and the widows nnd orphans of such
as are deceased, and we condemn tha un
friendly and unjust policy already mat's
manliest by the present Democratic admin
istration.
"We favor honest money, composed 01
