Long continued applause. J Standing in the presence of the American people and hearing those word, the solemn import of what indelibly Impressed Itself upon all who stood near him n )i- can doubt his motives or even bis ambition. No one can place him in the category of a man whose ambition is greater than his patriotism. Great applause "Our government Is a government of party. ' It la necessarily so. and always Will be so. The people who are the final arbiters of all questions, study and consider, from their own standpoint, and from their Ideas and opinion, as to the policies by which these parties propose to govern our country. Occupying the position of arbitrators the people, always mindful of th.-lr own interests, always using their best judgment and the highest intelligence which they possess. In all political dlscussio. which look to the supremacy of either oi' any party, weigh in the balance by that Judgment those things which are nearly and cl sely connected to then own material affairs. They are not so mu h interested in the theories of economics. They leave them to the doctrinaire; but what they want to Judge from and Judge by is resu!t. The object lesson which comes to them as a result of the experience and practical application of any theory of government. And Is it not the highest tribute that can be paid to the people, not only of the State of Ohio, but of our Nation, to say how wisely and how well they have weighed all these great national questions and how truly and unerringly their judgment has led them to the conclusion that the policies and principles of the Republican party are best fitted to our form of government and haver done more than any oth r coald to our development and prosperity. Applause. ALL WATCHING OHIO. "As we are soon to enter upon a national campaign and aa other mattere

roust be Issued from point to point the people to-day all over the United States are wat'-hing with Interest this Republican convention of the State of Ohio, because Ohio enjoys the proud prestige of always having been loyal to those principles and contributed from her forces of power and Intellect many of the best advocates the country has produced. Great applause. "Is It any wonder then that the people of the whole country should be onlookers this day and to-morrow and watching with eagerness the result of the principles announced and the policies to be tried, which shall have their direct Influence and effect In the campaign of 1904? Is there anybody In this great audienceaye, is there anybody In the State of Ohio who hesitates for one moment, under all the conditions which have gone before, under all the environments of the present, under all the hopes of the future to see one single cause as to why the Republican party should change one lota In those principles? Ing. loud chc rlng.) Human liberty, protection to American industries and our workingroen. Renewed applause. We started with that slogan many years ago. It went forth and reached the hearts of every fireside In the land and if we needed any additional tribute or any accessory to add to the luster of that moment it would be the culmination of happiness and contentment perceptible everywhere around us. I once said 'Let wel' enough alone.' Applause. For God's sake, 'keep on letting it alone.' Renewed applause. "If you consider from a practical standpoint what is best for -our country, with the evidence of the oast before you. with the object lessons at und and with certain deductions as to the future, which must follow sound reasoning and rlKht principles, can we ever hope to place ourselves in a happier position as regards ourselves and our own interests? I say to that, no; and, therefore, iu Um opening of this state campaign, when we arc tailed upon to voice our sentiment reflected from the people so that It is their sentiment and, knowing full well and trusting in the Intelligence of the people of the Buckeye State, are We LOt Safe In starting forward simply to repeat our hkstory to say we have redeemed every prophecy and fulfilled every promise? Applause. And It was not the result of the accident or circumstance. It was because the Republican party had found early in its existence the true principles which govern the people, namely, government by the people, a pollry which was only tried flrst aa an experiment, and then, through the long years of experience, brought to its aid and support th- 1 st minds and the best thought of our country; that added an impetus, supported by the people, as a result of the experiences, an irresistible Americanism which could not be checked, and I gtVl notice to the Democratic party, if you get in the way we will run over you. Great applause. SCHOOLS OUR BULWARK. "The people are not narrow in their line of reasoning. It is a matter of pride to us that the people of this country are so Intelligent, and when I hear the suggestions that the time may come as a result of this enormous influx of immigration the spirit of Americanism will be contaminated by contact, I say, oh, no, my friends; the institutions of these United States are upon a surer foundation, and there is a bulwark built years ago which stands to-day stronger anil Stronger. That bulwark is our common schools, our institutions of education, so that we are adequately prepared for all assimilation that may be necessary for any and all who may come to our hospitable shores. "The future of the United States cannot be measured In words. The experience of fifty years has taught us that nothing is impossible. There are no conditions existing to-day but that are in a further stage of development than they have been In the past. Our great reservoirs of mineral w alth have been opened, and through the Intelligence and Ingenuity and the Industry of our people, coupled with those natural advantages, the 1'nited States stands today in the front rank of the industrial nations of the world. Applause. Having just arrived at that point, does any one suppose we are going to stop or halt in our progress? That is not the spirit of the American people. We will go on and on; riches untoid will come from old mother earth: under the Inspiration of energy and our mechanical devices, that wealth added to our country's treasure will make us stronger even than before In the financial circles of the world. "There is nothing impossible that Is susceptible to human agency or Ingenuity that we cannot reap an ndvantago from. That is a business proposition, my friends. That
is a proposition which must be faced from all sides and considered with all interests in view, and If there Is one thing more than another that makes me hopeful for these developments In the future, it Is because in the light of experience and under the influences of this great prosperity and development people are beginning to appreciate that all interest and all factors that contribute to these results are, and should be, of mutual Interest. CAPITAL AND LABOR. "I speak of the relationship between capital and labor. The day Is dawning when that all Important, aye, econc.olcally important question will be taken up, discussed and considered, not purely from the standpoint of politics, but from the standpoint of hunfanlty and society. Applause That is simply another milestone to mark our progress in that direction, but is will not be the last. 'Onward is our motto, as a people, and m order that that advance may be safe and sure, all the people must look for guidance along the path to those who lead them and have led them safely in the past. It is because of this that I speak hopefully of the future of the Republican party, not only In Ohio, but in the Nation, and I would speak in such words and v.dth such emphasis as would Inspire the minds, not only of the Republicans by profession, but of every man who, from the standpoint of humanity and patriotism, will and must consider the best Interests of his country. "Party affiliations do not always govern judgment. Loyalty to party may be all right when indifference seems to rule, but when the people are aroused to their own true interests and that which most effects their own affairs will judge for themselves and select for themselves that which is best and discard that which is not good. We have never failed when we have gone before the country upon that solid foundation, not of theory, but of fact, and have redeemed the prophesies we made and fulfilled all that could have been expected. We say now, beginning from the Starting point of the twentieth century, to all the people of State and Nation, this is an age of progress. The Republican party Is In the lead and we have no brass bands ahead of us. Great laughter and long continued applause.) We are going to follow along the lines and by the straight path which we have trodden for nearly nfty years. You must accept results as proof, and If you consider not only your own material interests, but the best interests of society and of our common country, you cannot fall to find yourselves in the ranks of the Republican party without any regard to past party affiliations, marching shoulder to shoulder with soldiers who have won the battles of the past and who are leading on to new victories, with that banner floating aloft which proclaims the principles of the Republican party." Prolonged applause. The call by CongrcMiOBS districts was then made for members of the commltt- .s on credentials, permanent organization, rules and order of business, etc., when the convention, after b 1p.k in si ssion only an hour, adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow-morning.

S.. LL.D. A large granite bowlder has been set between Lindley hall and tne observatory. After the stone is polished, a bronze tablet will be placed on its face and the bowlder placed near a newly planted tree. The bronze tablet will bear the following inscription: "In Honor of Joseph Moore, B. S. L.L.D., Esteemed and Beloved by AH. This tree was planted by the Anglican Club." Ex-President Mocre has been of inestimable service to Earlham and it is con sidered extremely appropriate that some memorial should be erected In recognition of this. He is a lioosier by birth and his first Instruction was secured in the public schools. He began teaching at the age of eighteen. In 1S63 he entered the Friends' Boarding School. In 1859 he entered Harvard and was for two years under the direct instruction of Agassis. He then came back to Earlham and has given most of his life service since to her advancement. In the winter of 1S74-75 he was given a leave of absence to make a trip to the Hawaiian islands, which enabled him to make extensive scientific researches, particularly on the volcanoes and coral reefs. He was president of the college from 1S69 to 1SSJ when he was compelled to resign because of poor health. Earlhaxn's museum, which, without question, is the largest and finest In the Middle West, is largely a product of Prof. Moore's untiring energy and patient research. Not only are its specimens rare and valuable, but their arrangement is such as to show them to the best possible advantage. The dedicatory service on Monday morning will be under the direction of Prof. W. N. Trucblood. A programme has been arranged, including a talk by Pr. Rogers; a poem by a member of the Anglican Club; oration, by Luthcr M. Feeger; address, Benjamin Kelly; address, Dr. Hirschley; dedication of memorial. Prof. Trueblood; response. Prof. Moore.
