Not since Thomas Jefferson has an ministration been calied upon to face or solve so many or such difiicult problems as those which have been exigent in our condi- tlons.

The dollar of tho country has been placed and kept on the standard of commercial na- tions, nnd a convention has been agreed upon with foreign governments which, by making bimetallism the policy of ali nations, may successfuily solve all our financial probloms. Tho tariff, tinkerod with and trifled with to the serious disturbance of trade and_ dis- astor to business since the days of Wasbing- ton, has been courageously embodied 1nto a code which hus preserved the principle of the protection of American industries. To it bus been added the beneficent policy, sup- glemonted by boneficial treatios and wiso iplomacy, which has opened to our farmers and manufacturers the markets of other countries, Tho navy bas beon builded up on llnes which will protect American citizens and Amorlcan intorests and the American flag alt over the worid.

SENATOR SPOONER'S SPEECH. Sound Reasons Given Why the Presldont Should be Renominated. MisxeAPoLIS, Minn, June 10.—senator Spooner, 1 seconding tho nomination of Benjamin Harrison, spoke as follows: Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Con- vention: The preliminaries are settled and it is a relief that we are at last face to face with the great duty which we came hither to porform. That the action of this body, composed of represeutative men who love the republican party and seek to promote its success for its record and its iples, will be deliberate, —thought- and' patriotio and such as to securo for It the approval of those who sout us here cannot weil be doubted. Na- tional republican conventions hava not been accastomed to make mistakes, Chat which met in Chicago in 188 made no mistake whon it intrusted tho power and respousi- bility of leadership to Benjamin Harrison of Tudiana, He Made No Mistakes, And Ben Harrison made no mistakes, He quickly proved himself an ideal caudi- dato and a leader who led, Millions of eager and hostile oyes searched his wholo life invain for spot or blemish. Od the march and in the battle, no man rode before im. Calm, dignified and wise, every day brought from bis lips & deliver- guce in itself a porfoct platform, unexcolled for grace of diction, power of epigrammatic statement and the spirit of truo eloquonce. He imbued the party with renewed vigor and strength and in- trepidly led it to victory. His friends bring his name into this convention proudly, con- sclous that the record which "he has made needs not to be supplemented by words of advocacy. He has beon from the day of Liis inauguration what the peoplo elected him 10 be —president of the United States. Ho has eiven to the country an administration which, for ability, efficiency, purity and b triotism, chaliengés without fear of compari- son any which has preceded it since the foun- datlon of the government. Ho Has Stood for the People. He bas been free trom ‘‘variableness or shadow of turning” 1 his devotion to the principles of the republican party ana to the redemptinn of the pledges made by it to the veople. He has stood for the protection of Awerican Industries - and the in- terests of American wageworkers, and placed with alacrity the sealof epproval upon the areat tariff bill of the Fifty-first congress, which has outridden the flood of misrepresentation which swept over 1t, and, as did the ark in the deluge of old, now rests upon a foundation as solid as Mount Ararat. He championed and promoted by every means in harmony with the dignity of his great offino the adoption of the schemo of reciprocity, which, as enacted, bas found favor with our people, not limited to the Southern American republics or bartering the interests of one industry for the benefit of another by the free admission of competitive products, but compelling fair troatment by all governments of all our peo- plo and our productions, under penaity of commercial retaliation. Honest Money and Fair Eloctions Openly friendly to the use of silver as one of tho coin metals of the country under con- dititions which sball surely maintain it at [ parity with gold, and striving to secure by international agree- ment the existence of these conditions, he stands novertheless as firm as: the granite which underlies this continent against a policy which would debase tho ourrenoy of the people and must drive the coin of either metal out of cirulation. Nor did bo forget or disregard tho solomn pledge of the republican party that “every citizen, rich or poor, native or foreign born, white or black,” is ontitled at every public election to cast one free bal- lot, and to havo that baliot honestly counted e0d faithfully returned. Compelled Respect for Americn. ‘With a skill, dignity and courage which bas compellod the ~ admiration of polit- cal friend and foo alike, he has caused it to be understood ' throughout the world that the American executive ropresents overnment which has the power and the will to protect the American uniform and American interests at all hazards every- ‘here, whether assalled by peppery nelgh- bors to the south of us, or the diplomacy and power of Great Britail Kvery interest of the people has had his best care and his best thought, and he stands before the country today well ap- proved ana universally acknowledged to be a man of transcendent ability, of extraordi- nary capacity for the discharge of executive duty, of exalted patriotism and lofty pur- pose, who would not for @& unanimous renomination by this conver tion snd @ reelection by the people swerve one hair's breadth in any mat- tar of duty, great or small, from what he be- lieves to be just and right. Only Lamentations of the Disappoluted. It is said against bim that he has made enemies, and it is evidently thus, So did Washington, 80 did Jackson, so did Lincoln, so dd Grant, so aid Gar- fleid, so did Archur. But this con- vention will not mistake the lamentations of ‘tho disappointed for the voices of the Uplain people.” The judgment of those a4alnst hum overestimatos the importance of individuals and underestimates the intelli- gonce and patriotism of the musses. ‘They will not be beguiled into the belief that jhe object of governmant is the bestowal of of- fice. The party cares little for the ambition of leaders or whether John Smith secures an office this moath, next mouth, or uot at all. They do tot demand of & president that bo shall be able to pleaso everyone. They want government; they demand honesty and abllity and industry, and purity o publicand private life. and all this they have hadin Jenjamin Harrison, and thoy know it. His Administration Endorsed.

M'COMAS SECONDS HARRL Not Only the South, But the Whole Coun- try Wants Him, MisseArorts, Minn,, June 10.—Ex-Con- gressman L. B, McComas of Maryland, in seconding the nomination ot Harrison, spoke as follows : By the republicans of the south 1,500,000 votes were cast and counted for Bonjamin Harrison. In eight states of the border south we held 1,000,000 votes then. Wo will mako a moro hopeful fight now. Four of them are doubtful states. On the roll of victory {n the autumn, look for the electoral votes of at last two southern states safe for the candidates of this convention, In nom- inating these candidates, wo gratefully refer 10 the victorious column of republican states. Services of the South, Some service we have rendered. It was southern republicon votes in tho last con- gress which placed the gavel in Tom Reed's hands, which added wo young repubtican states’ to your column, helped keep the people’s money sound and meke it more apundant, secured the McKinley tariff, the blessings' and benefits of protection ' and rociprocity. We republicans of the south each cast one vote for our national ticiet. That I8 all the free and fair of the north and west could do. You worked at the ballot boxes, your faces beaming with anticipated viotory. We, fucing twenty years of defeat, stubbornly cast our ballots with decreasing trust in the count, with increasing love for the pnn{ of freedom. Its platform 1s for the whole country; its candidate is for the whole country. Condueror and to Conquer, In behalf of the republicans of the south, I second the nomination of that tntense Ameri- can, the representative of the people of the wholo country, Benjamin Harrison. His ad- ministration “has been clean, stroug, able, courageous, patriotic. On our platform, un- trica four years ago, ho conquered Clove- land. Strengthenea by great achievements, now we send him forth to conquer Clevelan: onco more. Behold the assembling democ- racy turn to theirold champion. Thel are putting the old armor, scarred by diplo- matic surrenders and stained with pension vetoes, upon the prophet of free trade, Kor our champion we send forth the great prosi- dent of this groat administration,armed with the shield of protection, the sword of reci- procity, with the flag 10scribed with Samoa, Italy and Bering sea, once more the emblem of peace with honor. They will have nominated Cleveland thrice. We may wisely nominato Harrison twice. The republican party never renomi- nated a president it did not re-elect. An irreproachitble Administration. Ben Hurrison's administration challenges comparison with any other. It is unstained by scandal, it is decorated with successes. Our national eredit is secure, Our treasury is surc of honest dollars and 1ts Dooks aro oalanced. Our navy has sprung into new life.. Our commerce erows on tho seas. Our flour and pork are opening every door of every foreign market. Our workshops and farms are sure of morkets at home. Wages aro stoady and worlk 1s everywhere for work- ingmen. A freotrade house of roprosenta- tives has not dared to vote to repeal the republican tariff. The calamity campaignors aro out of a job. A prosperous people pro- tests for the sako oL that prosverity against a chango. Favoring breezes once mora il the ropublican sails, The Best Man to Nominate, It would be folly to change the skilful pilot, a statesman of high courage, an orator of hich gifts, He is the leader of his admiu- istration and 1ts best exponent. A soldier trained in defending the union, when ho saw the great sccretary ot state stagger in sick- ness Benjamin Harrison flung his comrade’s knapsack over his shoulder and carried it into camp. Nominate him and the enthustasm will grow, It will not wax greatest in the con- vention, but at the polls, '1f his namo draws less shouting here, it will araw to the ballot box more of the plain people than any other uame. Nominate tho steaafast ndvocato of a free ballov and & fair count. Nominate the bestand truest friend the colored race havo had in the White houso sinco Lincoln was carried out of it. Nominato the best and safest candidate for both races and for the whole country. Nominate him, and you will elect Benjamin Hurrison. WOLCOTT NOMINATES BLAINE. Colorado's Scnator Speaks for the Man from Maine. MixNeAPOLIS, Minn., Jane 10.—Mr. Chair- man and geatlemen of the coavention. The republicans of the west sometimes differ ‘with the republicans of the east as to what is wanted. On this occasion there is remark- able unanimnity between the genuine repub- licans of the west and the genuine republic- ans of the eastas to who is nceded, and his name is Blaine, The name of the Maine statesman seemed 10 be one to conjure with, for when Senator Wolcott pronounced 1t oue great howl went up from the audienco and was taken up by a large number of the delegates, New York particularly veing very effusive. Hats and handkerchiefs, as well as fans and umbrellas, were called Into use and the noisy gullories assisted in the uproar. The demonstrations lasted about sixty seconds and when it was concluded Senator Wolcott continued as follows: Don’t Care Who the Democrats Nominato, *It fs to us a matter of comparative indif- ference who shall lead the democratic hosts, but we trust thoy wiil once moie renominate their prophet of tarift reform in oraer that we may demonstrate how short a lifo have slander and calumny, that a chastened coun- try may repair the wrong of 1884 and stamp w{th the seal of final disappro policy which could only lead to impoverishment at home aud which brought only contempt and dishonor abroad, There is a practical ugree- ment awong the delogates at this convention, cortainly among the representatives of tho ropublican states, as to whom our leador should be, and {ts expression would find unammous voice were thers not a mistaken feuling among certain of our associatas that tho bestowal of office is & personal mft. The welfaro of our boloved pariy, Mr. Cbairman, is of iofinilely greater importance than the vindication or nomina- tion of any man within its ranks, and when the roll of statesis called I peliove it will be rememberod that the obligations of office re ropaid soleiy by 8 fauhiul porformanco of its duties, and that manhood and indo- pendence sro never burtered among good ‘men for the emoiutentdand.honors of public station, Made Republican Prosidents Possible, “Our candidate, Mr. Chalrman, has never been president of the United States, He will bo, but if he has not yer occupled that office, he has by his devotion to the party made republican presidents possible, and he has enriched and guided two administrations with Lis sagacity and smanskip.
