FEATURES OF THE CONVENTION. NEW YORK, greatest of the states by its weight and attraction, not- withstanding its early purposeless action, converged on itself the anxious attention of its sisters. At first divergent in its councils, and less- ening itself by division, it wisely gathered its strength and urged to the front its ablest and most popular represer The solidified phalanx of its delegation stood long and with unbroken front behind its chief, Only when it became apparent that in standing and winning the victory for Mr, Depew it would produce western political estrangement through his railroad connection was the unique scene enacted that will become historic in the annals of the Republican party. With a great state—an empire in itself, and loyal to him—serenely ive.

Such a spectacle comes but once in a century, and it is the glory New York that amid the crowd that strained to grasp the honor its gre son was so heroic as to decline to climb over wounded or prostrated R publican comrades to snatch the highest honor in the world. The other great and mark-d feature of the Chicago convention that y stamped on the memery of the concourse that witnessed it was the enunciation of the Republican platform, offered by its clearest and most earnest advocate, Mr. McKinley of Ohio. ‘The serious Websterian face, oblivious of personality, was illumined with patriotic fervor as worded the message of the great party to the people of the United States The syllables that welded together the sentences to shape the protectiv« shield to American labor were listened and responded to with enthusiasm As the modest leader ended, and handed over the law and “ plan of campaign” against the Philistines that obstructed th perous and promised land, the vast assemblage pulses of indorsement “nd applause. dazzling, paled its varied coloring before the white illumination of the strong, simple and earnest words. It was a request to the six millions who had voted before to still vote in the national interest, to still stand by a e path to a pros- wayed and swung in All previous oratory, however policy that nourished the manhood of the country, a policy that guaranteed the ownership of a home through the assured wage of the worker; that would barricade every hearthstone against the larceny of free trade, and that hard tenantry that would make it the common hostelry of pauperized labor. It was an appeal to those who had, not now for the first, to stem the drift of that Democratic policy that was hurrying faster, and swifter, and nearer, to subordinating ‘this people to an agricultural nation, It was an appeal from the Demo- cratic policy of to-day, that would divorce the farm three thousand miles from the tory, to the wisdom of the old Democratic Andrew Jackson utterance, which wisely said, “A people cannot long prosper less the farm is close to the workshop. It was an appeal not to turn back that fertilizing flood that had made us rich and respected, and had planted at every cross-roads a school-house, washed every stain from our flag, and made this people ina century, greater than any empire of a thousand birthdays, the envy and the wonder of the world. ha TWO BANNERS! THE PEOPLE will not wave the red bandana in place of the stars and stripes. The red, white and blue is better than the red, white and red; and whoso uses the old banner to wipe snuff from his nose that man shall be more spotted than the flag he carries in his hind coat-pocket. The old banner is good enough. The emblem of British free trade is a poor substitute for it. It has been fought for, bled for and died for by too many men in the various contests for union and protection to lose its place at the peak. and it will float there through the canvass now begun and when it is ended. No change of flags now! That is the voice of the people this fourth of July. No going back to the rule of British business and British politics. No revival of King Georgeism and the issues of the period to which it be- longed. There is a new Paul Revere, and the clatter of his horse’s hoo!s reaches from St. Louis the country through. There is to be a new Lex. ington and another Bull Run, a political Chickahominy and a political Gettysburg ; and the Union will win, as it has in all times of pronounced peril and emergency. Up with the old flag and down with the British red America for Americans, native and adopted, the citizen having preference against the foreigner no matter where he was born, Cheers Dot's all der shtyle now since comicbooks.com
