President Roosevelt was placed In
nomination by ex-Governor Black of
New York and Senator Fairbanks was
placed in nomination by Mr. Dolllver.
The Republican National Convention
the recently-elected National Reubll
oan Committee would meet in the
Coliseum immediately on the adjourn
ment of the convention.'
Chairman Cannon at once announced
thnt the next order of business would
be a roll-call of tho States for the
nomination of Preuidetit of the United
States.
Tho clerk callcd Alabama, and Imme
diately Oscar It. Hundley, of that
State, mounted a chair and announced
that Alabama requested the honor and
privilege of yielding its place on tho
roll to the State of New York/
Instantly the convention was In an
uproar. The New York delegation was
on 1 1 h feet llko one man, waving llags
and shouting wildly. Former (Governor
Frank Black, of New York, who was
to deliver the nominating speech in
behalf of President Roosevelt, imme
diately started for the platform, amid
tho wildest enthusiasm on tho part of
the delegates.
As Governor Black reached the desk
cf Chairman Cannon ho whh warmiy
greeted by that gentleman and escorted
down to the front of the platform
Here Chairman Canuon, standing by
the side of Mr. Black; In a few words,
introduced him to tho convention.

the convention, a chorus of shrieks
from the New York delegation, a par

met at 10:30 o'clock* Thursday morning
with the expectation of nominating
candidates, and adjourning in time for
afternoon* trails.
The Coliseum began to fill at 9
o clock with the thousands permitted
to hear the nominating and seconding
[speeches.
The galleries were completely filled
l'nr the first time a:ul tiers of people
were, standing in rear aisles.
A fow moments before tho assemb
ling there was hurried conference by
- tho manager* which resulted in agree
ment (Hat Alabama, tho first State on
tho roll, would yield to New York to
nominate Roosevelt*
It was also agreed that Alabama,
which was the 'first State to instruct
for Fairbanks, would yield to IOvva to
place tho Senators name in nomina
tion for the Vice Presidency.
Tho dclny in calling tho convention
to order was due to the completion of
<" some resolutions that were to be pre
sented. But the music of tho band and
the evidont good humor of the crowd
made tho time pass rapidly and there
was no manifestation of Impatience.
It was exactly 10:30 when Chairman
Cannon, wloldlrfg the immense wooden
gavel In his left hand, arose from his
high-backed chair and with a resound
ing whack on tTle table In front of him.
commanded tho convention to be In
order.

prayer," ho announced.

k st. Chrvsostum's church, was presented
and at," Mr. Cannon's suggestion ad
vanced to the front of the platform. As
he spread forth hia arm* ^Invoke di
vine blessing, the convention arose.
The animated hum of conversation
ceased and absolute silence prevailed.
At the conclusion of the prayer,
Chairman Cannon presented the fol
lowing announcement* through tho
reading cl?rk: -

"Well," nald tho chairman to the
convention, "his middle name is Still
well and both arc good namrs." Ho

TME ADMINISTRATION IS ENDORStD

Pledge for the Future ? Democratic

and Tariff ? Congressional Action

Following is tho full text of the plat
form of tho Republican party an adopt
ed by tho National Convention In ses
sion In tho city of Chicago on Juno
1:2nd:
"Fifty years ago tho Republican
party came into existence, dedicate!,
among other purposes, to the great
?.ask of arresting tho extension of
human slavery. In 1800 It elected its
flrst President. During twenty-four
of the forty-four years which have
elapsed since tho election of Lincoln,
tho Republican party bus held com
plete control of the government. For
eighteen more of the forty-four years
It has hold partial control, through
i h<> ??o>?scssion of one or two branches
of the government, while the Demo
cratic party, during the same period,
has had completo control for only two
years. This long tenure of power by
the Republican party Is not due to
chance. It Is a demonstration that the
Republican party has commanded the
confidence of tho American people for
nearly two generations to a degree
never equaled in our history, and has
displayed a high capacity for rule and
government which has been made even
more conspicuous by tbt incapacity and
I infirmity of purposo shown by its op
ponents.
"The Republican party entered upon
its present period of complete supre
macy In 1X97. Wo have every right to
congratulate ourselves* upon the work
since then accomplished, for it has
added lustro even to the traditions of
the party which carried the govern- ;
inert through the storms of civil war.
"We then found tho country, after
four years of Democratic rule, in evil
plight, oppressed with misfortune and
doubtful of the future. Public credit
?had/b'een lowered, the revenues were
declining, the debt was growing, the
administration's aUitudc towards Spain
was feeble qnd mortifying, tho stand
. ar'd of valuQs was threatened and un
certain, labor was unemployed, busl
j ness was sunk In the depression which
| had succeeded the panic of 1893, hope
I was faint and confidence was gone.
Unhappy Condition^ Met.
"We mot these unhappy conditions
vigorously, effectively and at once.
'iWe replaced a Democratic tariff
law, based on free trade principles and
garnished with sectional protection, by
a consistent protective tariff; and In
dustry, freed from oppression and stim
ulated by the encouragement of wise
1 iws, has expanded to a degree never
before known, has conquered new mar- j
kcts and has creatcd a volume of ex
ports which has surpassed imaglna- |
Hon. Under the Dingley tariff, labor |
hns been fully employed, wages have
risen, and all industries havo revived
and prospered.
"We firmly established the gold
standard, which was then inCnaced
with destruction. Confidence returned
to business, and with confldcnco an
unexampled prosperity.
"For deficient revenue, supplement
ed by Improvident issues of bonds, we
gave the country an incomo which pro
duced a large surplus and which en
abled us, only four years after the
Spanish war had closed, to remove over
one hundred millions of annual war
taxes, reduco the public debt, and lower
the lntorettt charges of the govern
ment.
"The public debt, which had been so
lowered that in time of peace a Demo
cratic administration made large loans
at extravagant rates of interest in or
der to pay current expenditures, rose
under Republican administration to its
highest point, and enabled 'tis to borrow
it c 2 per cent, even In time of war.
Expansion Record.
"We refused to palter lone with the
miseries of Cuba. Wo fought a quick
and victorious war with Spain. We set
Cuba free, governed the island for
throe years, and then gave It to the
Cuban people, with order restored, with
ample revenues, with education and
public health established, free from
d< bt and connected with the United
States by wise provisions for our mu
tual Interests.
"We have organized U?6 government
cf Porto Hico; and its people now en
joy peace, freedom, order and pros
perity.
"In the Philippines, wo have ?op
pressed insurrection, established order
and given to life and property a secu
rity never known there before. We
have organized civil government, mad*
it effective and strong in administra
tion and have conferred upon the peo
ple of those islands the largest civil
liberty they have ever enjoyed.
? "By our possession of the Philip
pines, we were enabled to take prompt
and effective action In'tho relief of
the legations at Pekin and a decisive
part in preventing the partition and
preserving the Integrity of China.
-"The possession of a route for an
isthmian canal, so long the dream of ]
American statesmanship, Is now an ac
complished fact. The great work ol
connecting the Pacific and Atlantic by
al catral ttrBt last t>o?\m.~ana II Is due
tb the Jfcepuhitcan party.
"We /have passed lawa which will
bring the arid lands of the United
State? within the area of cultivation.
"We have reorganized the army and
put it in tho highest' state of efficiency,
"We have passed Htwe for the im
provement and support of the mlliUa.
"We have pushed forward the build
ing of the navy, the defence and pro
tection of our honor and our intereata.
"Our administration of the great de
partments or the government baa been
honest and efficient, and wherever
wrong-doing haw been discovered, the
Kepnbllcan administration ha* not he*
| itatod to probe the evil and bring of
fenders to justice. without regard to
parly or political ties.
Tru?t Regulation.
" I <a w s on act oil by the Republican
party, whl? h (ho Democratic party fail
ed to enforce, and which woro intended
for the protection of the public against
th.o unjust discrimination or the illegal
encroachment of vast Aggregations of
capital, have been fearlessly enforced
by a Republican President; and new
laws, insuring reasonable publicity as
to the operations of Kreat corporations
and providing additional remedies for
the prevention of $li?<'t'iminatlon in
freight rates, have been passed by a
Wtfpublteati -Congress.
'*Tn this record of achievement dur
ing the past eight years may bo road
the pledge^ whi< h the Republican party
has fuldlled. We promise to continue
these policies, ?ud wo declare our con
stant adherence to the following prin
ciples;
Principles Declared.
"Protection, which guards and do
volops our Industries, Is ft cardinal
policy of the Itepublican party. The
measure of protection should always
at least equal the difference In tho cost
:>f production at homo and abroad.
Wo Insist upon the maintenance of the
principles of protection, and. therefore,
rates of duty should bo readjusted only
when conditions have so changed that
the public interest demands thtdr al
teration. but this work cannot, safely
be committed to any other hands than
those of tho Republican party. To en
trust It to tho Democratic party la to
Invite disaster. Whether, as in IK'JIi,
the Democratic party declared tho pro
tective tariff unconstitutional, or
whether it demands tariff reform or
tariff revision, its real object Is always
tho destruction of the protective sys
tem. However specious tho name, tho
purpose Is ever the same. Democratic
tariff has always been followed by busi
ness adversity; a Republican J,arlff,
by business prosperity. To a Republi
can Congress and a itepublican d'/csl
dent, tiiis great question can l?o fiafoly
Intrusted. When the only free trade
country among tho ^mat nations agi
tates a return to protection, the chief
protective country should not falter
In maintaining it.
"We hove extended widely our for
eign markets, aiul we b'dlovo in the
adoption of all practicable methods for
their further extension, including com
mercial reciprocity wherever reciprocal
arrangements can be effected con
sistent with tbe principles of protec
tion and without Injury to American
ngrieulturo. American labor or any
J American Industry.
The Gold Standard.
"We 'believe it to ho the duty of the
Republican party to uphold tho gold
standard and the integrity and vji^o
of our national ciffretitfy. Tho main
tenance of the gold standard, estab
lished by the Republican party, can
not be safely committed to tho Demo
cratic party, whfoh resisted its
Adoption, ?and has never given any
proof since that time of belief in it or
fidelity to it. r
"\VhiIo. every other industry has
prospered under tho fostering aid of
Republican legislation. American ship
ping engaged in foreign trade in com
petition, low wagps und heavy subsidies
of foreign governments, lias not. for
many years received from the govern
ment of the United States adequate en
couragement of nny kind. Wo. there
fore, favor legislation which will en
courage and build up tho American
merchant marine, and wp cordially ap
prove tho legislation of' the last Con
gress which created the merchant ma
rine commission to investigate and re
port upon this subject.
Maintaining the Navy.
"A navy nawjcrful onough to <Jef<jnd
tho United Sthtos against nny attaca,
to uphold tho Monroo doctrine and
to watch oyer our commorco, is essen
tial to the safoty and tho wolfaro of
tho American people. To maintain
such a navy is the fixed policy of tho
Republican party.
"Wo cordially approve tho attitude
of5 President Roosevolt and Congress
in regard to tho exclusion of Chinese
labor, and promise a continuance of
tho Republican policy in that direc
tion.
"Tho civil swvlco law was placed
on tho statute books by tho Republi
can party, which has always sustain
ed it, and we renew our former declar
ations that it shall bo thoroughly and
honosl.lv enforced.
"Wo are always mindful of the
country's debt to tho soldiers and
sailor* of the United States, and w?
believe In making ample provision for
them, and in tho liberal administra
tion of tho pension laws. '
"Wo favor tho peaceful settlement
of International difficulties by arbitra
tion.
"We commend the vigorous efforts
made by the administration to protect
American citizen's In foreign lands,
nnd pledge oursolvcs to Insist upon
tho just and equal protection of alt
cur citizens abroad. It is tho un
questionable duty of tho government
to procure for all our citizens, with
out distinction, the rights of travel
and sojourn in friendly countries, and
wo declare ourselves in favor of all
proper efforts tending to that end.
"Our groat interests and our grow
ing commerce in the Orient render
the condition of China of high impor
tance to the United States. Wo cor
dially commend the policy pursued in
that direction by tho administrations
of President MeKinloy and Presldei.t
fioosovolt.
Suffrage Restriction.
"We favor such Congiesalonal ac
tion a3 shall determine whether, by
Fpecial discriminations, tho electWe
franchise In any State has been un
constitutionally limited, and, If such
Is the ease, wo demand that represen
tation In Congress and In the electoral
college shall be proportionally reduced
as directed by tho constitution q{ Jhe
"United States.^
Combination* of capital and of la
bor are tho results of tho ecomonlc
movement of tho ago, but uelther
must be permitted to lnfrlngo upon
tho rights and Interests dMhe.people.
Such combinations, when lawfully
formed for lawful purposes, ,4re alik*
entitled to tho protection of the taw*,
and neither can ho permitted to break
them.
"The great statesman and patriotic
American, William McKloley. whe
was re-elected by the Republlcah-wr
ty to the Presidency four years ago,
was assassinated Just at the threshold
of hU second term. The entire a*
lion mourned his untimely death and
did that justice to his great qualities
of itiiud and character which history
will coil Arm and repeat.
AdmlrilCtratlon Endorsed.
^The American people wero fortmy
ate in his successor, to whom they
turnod with a trust and a confidence
which have been fully JuBtiflod. J'rcs
ident Roosevelt brought to the greAt
responsibilities (bus sadly forced upon
him a clear head, a bravo hoart, nn
oarnest patriotism and high ideals of
public duty *pd public sorvlce. True
to the principles of tho Itepubllcan
party and to tho policies which that
party had declared, ho has also shown
himself ready for every emergency,
and has tm* new and vital questions
with abllltly and with success.
"The confidence of the people In his
Justice, inspired by his public careec,
enanied nun to render, perSdbally, an
inestimable service to the country by
bringing about a settlement of tho
coal strike, which threatened such dis
astrous results at tho opening of win
ter In 1902.
(fflr foreelgn policy under his admin
istration has not only been ablo, vig
orous and dignified, but In tho high*
est degree sucecssf.il. Th# fi&mpllcat
ed questions which anise In Veno.
zuola wero settled In such ? way^by
President Roosevelt that thq, Mghftoo
doctrine was signully vindicated and
Ihe cause of peace and arbitration
ireatly advanced.
"His prompt and vigorous action in
Panama, which wo commend in tho
highest terms, not only secured to us
tho canal routo but avoided foreign
complications which might have beon
o.' a very serious character.
"He has continued Uio policy of
President McKlnley in the Orient and
our position In China, signalized by
our recent commarcinl treaty with
that empire, has never been so high.
"Ho secured the tribunal by which
the vexed and perilous question of the
Alaskan bouftdry was llnally settled.
"Whenever crimes against human
It y have been pcrept rated which have
shocked our people, his protoat has
been made and our good o(Ilee3 have
been tendered, but always with i"io re
gard to international obligations.
"Under his guidance wo find our
selvofl at peace with all the world and
never were wo more ?ves?cctod or our
wishes more regatdca* by fotblgn na
tions.
"Pre-epilently succesBful In regard
to our foreign relations, ho has been
equally fortunato in dealing with do
mestic questions. Tho country has
known tiiat. the public credit and tho
national currency wero absolutely
hafo in tho hands of hl3 administra
tion. In tho enforcement of tho laws
lie 1ms shown not only couraKO but
tho wisdom which understands that
to permit laws to bo violated or dis
regarded opens flip door to anarchy
while tho Just enforcement of tho law
Is tho soundest conservatism. He
has hold firm to tho fundamental Am
erican doctrine, that all men must
obey the law, that thero must be no
distinction botween rich and poor, be
tween strong and weak, but that Jus
tice and equal* jirotcclJioD VifitffT tho
law must be secured to every citizen
without regard to race, cr<?od or con
dition. i
His administration has boon,
throughout, vigorous and honorable,
high-minded and patriotic. We com
mend It without reservation to the
considerate judgment of the American
peoplo.
