The Question of Continued Prosperity or a Change. THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION , AND THE CRT OF IMPERIALISM QUAY'S MOTION FOR REDUCED REPRESENTATION FOR THE SOUTH. Philadelphia June 20. This conven- uuii m iv uuiuiuaic xvuuacvcii iv: vjw president. Not a single republican leader here tonight of any prominence disputes this. They have decided that no name but that of Roosevelt's will be mentioned in the convention. They fur ther insist that Alabama is to lead off with Roosevelt. Senator Piatt left for New York this afternoon. This morn ing with Governor Roosevelt and Mr. Odell he was driven to the convention hall. On the way down Piatt said to Roosevelt: "There was pretty hot blood -between us last night, but it's all right, and we 'are all feeling more se renely this morning. If you are not nominated for vice president tomorrow .yojflmay be reassured that the repub licans of New York, including me in the number please, will,jee that you are renominated' for governor." "Senator, we have had very pleasant and happy relations," said Mr. Roose velt. "I could not, but stand by my original position last night. You un derstand fully the situation I haveieen in.. I have been absolutely sincere in my attitude. I have preferred to re main governor of New York, but I can not say any more than I have said1, and whatever happens we must all get to work this fall." Hanna's efforts to stem the tide are futile and he recognizes tonight there is no sense in atttempting to thwart the will of the delegates. Hanna held a conference tonight, which Bliss . Postmaster General Smith, Senator Burrow and Other prominent men attended. It did not break up until late. Odell said: "Roosevelt will be nominated as sure 4 as we have our breakfast tomorrow." Piatt said before leaving for New York it was Roosevelt and it never had been anyone else. Roosevelt said in a conversation tonight that if the nomin ation was forced upon him he must ac? cept. CONTENTION IN SESSION. A cool and bracing northeasterly breeze, moderate temperature and a cloudless sky, afforded ideal conditions for the work and excitement of .the sec ond day of the republican convention. The crowds were astir early, the streets were filled with the hosts of visitors, marching clubs arid shouting vendors of badges. The convention was called to order at 12:25 p. m. by -Temporary Chairman Wolcott. Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massa chusetts, was chosen chairman, and Charles W. Johnson, of Minnesota, sec retary. At 12:25 p. m. the report of the com mittee on permanent organization was adopted, and Senator Lodge, the per manent chairman, was escorted to the chair by Governor Roosevelt and Gov ernor Shaw, of Iowa. The convention cheered. Senator Lodge was intro duced and began his speech. He dwelt on the. achievements of the republican party in war and govern mental policies, the opposing attitude tf the democratic and republican pol icies on the money question. He said": "The supremacy of the party that has saved (the standard1 of sound money and guarded it by law is as necessary for its security mi for the existence of A ains On Sulphur Springs road Ten acres ground and well coastru ted modern house.

The nafi5. meat the republican party "passes from power, and the party of free silver and fiat paper comes in, stable currency .and the gold standard, the standard of the civilized world, are in imminent add deadly Deril. Sound currency and a steady standard of value are today safe only in republican hands." Of present and future policies lie. spoke as follows : THE "IMPERIALISM" CRY, The pew problems brought by the war we face with confidence in our selves, and a still deeper confidence in the American people, who will deal Justly and rightly with the islands which have come into their chargfe-. The outcry against our new possessions fs as empty as the cant about "militar ism" and "imeprialism" is devoid of sense and meaning. Regard for a mo ment those who are the loudest in shrieking that the American people are about to enter upon a career of t op pression and that the republic is in danger. Have they been in the past the guardians of freedom? Is safety for liberty now to be found most sure ly in the party which was the defender of domestic slavery? Is true freedom to be secured by the ascendancy of the party which beneath our very eyes seek through Infamous laws the despotic rule of a small and unscrupulous band of usurpers in Kentucky, who trample there not upon the rights of the black men only but of the whites, and which seek to extend the same system to North Carolina and Missouri? Has it suddenly come to pass that the demo cratic party which today aims where ever it acquires power to continue in office by crushing out honest elections and popular rule; has it, indeed, come to pass, I say, that that party is the chosensprotector of liberty? If it were so the outlook would be black indeed. No! The party of Lincoln may be best trusted now, as in the past, to be true, even as he was true, to the rights of man and to human freedom, whether within the borders of the United States or in the islands which have come be neath our flag. The liberators may be, trusted to watch over the liberated. We who freed Cuba will keep the pledge we made to her and will guide her along the road to independence ready to settle her. own future by the free expressionsof her peoples? will. We will be faithful to the trust imposed upon us, and if among those to whom this great work is confided in Cuba, or elsewhere, wrongdoers shall ber found men, not only bad in morals, but dead to their duty as Americans and false to the honor of or name, we will pun ish these basest of criminals to the ex tent of the law. For the islands of Hawaii and Porto Rico the political problem has been solved, and by republican legislation they have been given self- government, and are peaceful and prosperous un der the rule of the United States. THE PHILIPPINES. In the Philippines we were met by re bellion, fomented by a self-seeking ad venturer and usurper. The duty of the president was to repress that rebellion, to see to it that the' authority of the United States, as rightful and right eous in Manila as in Philadelphia, was acknowledged and obeyed. That harsh and painful duty of President McKin- ley has performed firmly and justly, eager to resort to gentle measures wherever possible, unyielding when treachery and violence made force nec essary. Unlike the opponents of ex pansion we do not regard the soldiers of Otis and Lawton and MaeArthur as "an enemy's camp." In our eyes they are soldiers of the United States, they are our army, and we believe in them, and . will sustain them. Even now the democrats are -planning, if they get control of the house, to cut off apprpriations for the army and. thus compel the withdrawal of our troops from the Philippines The result would be to force the retirement of such soldiers as would remain in Ma nila, and their retreat would be the signal for the massacre and plunder of the great body of the peaceful in habitants of the islands who have trusted us to protect and guard them. Such an event would be an infamy. Is the government, is the house, to be given over to a party capable of such a policy? Shall they not rather be in trusted to the. party which will sus tain the army and suppress the brig ands and guerrilas who under the pre tense of war, are now adding so freely to the list of crimes committed In the name of liberty by usurpers and pre tenders, and who, bouyed up by demo cratic promises, keep up a highway man's warfare in hope of democratic success in November? It is for the American people to decide this ques tion.. Our position is plain. The restora tion of peace and order now so nearly reached in the 'Philippines shall be completed. Civil government shall be' established, and the -people advanced rapidly as possible along the road to our . flag. We will "not " abandon our task. We will neither surrender nor retreat.

Pride in Record of Party's Achievements, "American People Will Never Toler ate Chicago Platform." Devices to Nullify XV Amendment Revolutionary. PROPERTY OF AMERICAN CITI ZENS MUST BE PROTECTED WHEN WRONGFULLY VIOLATED SECURITY AND GOOD GOVERN- -. MENTfFOR THE PHILIPPINES. . Philadelphia June 20. Following is the full text of the republican national platform: "The republicans of the United States, through their chosen represen tatives met in national convention, looking back upon an unsurpassed rec ord of achievement and looking for ward into a great field of duty and op portunity, and appealing to the judg ment of their countrymen, make these declarations: r PROMISE AND FULFILLMENT. s "The expectation in which the Amer ican people, turning from then-demo-cratic party, entrusted' in power four years ago, to a republican chief mag istrate and a republican congress, has been met and satisfied. When the peo ple then assembled at the polls after a Urm of democratic legislation and ad ministration, business was dead, indus try paralyzed and the national credit disastrously impaired. The country's capital was hoarded away and its labor distressed and unemployed. The dem ocrats had no other plan with which to improve the ruinous conditions, which they had themselves produced. than to coin silver at the rate of 16 to 1. The republican party, denouncing this plan as sure to produce conditions even worse than those from which re lief was sought, promised to restore prosperity by means of two legislative measures a protective tariff and a law making gold a standard of value. The people by great majorities issued to the republican; party a commission to enact these laws. The commission has been executed, and the republican promise is redeemed. Prosperity more general and more abundant than we have ever known has followed these enactments. There is no longer con troversy as to the value of any gov ernment obligations. Every American dollar is a gold dollar or its assured equivalent and American credit stands higher than that of any nation. Capi tal is fully employed and everywhere labor Is profitably occupied. No singfe fact can more strikingly tell the story of what republican government means to the country than this that while during the whole period of one hun dred and seven years, from 1790 to 1897, there was an excess of exports over imports of only $683,028,497, there has been in the short three years of the present republican administration an ex cess of exports over imports in the enormous sum of 51,483,537,094, and while" the American people, sustained by this republican legislation, have been achieving these slendid triumphs in their business and commerce, they have conducted, and in victory con cluded, a war for liberty and human rights. No thought of national aggran dizement tarnished the high purpose with which American standards were unfurled. It was a war unsought and patiently resisted, but when it cam? the American government was ready. Its fleets were Cleared for action. It? armies were in the field, and the quick WISDOM .

To ten millions of the human race there was given 'a new birth of freedom,' and to the American people a new and noble responsibility.' ENDORSES ADMINISTRATION. "We endorse the administration of William McKlnley, Its acts have been established in wisdom and in patriot ism and at home and abroad it has dis tinctly elevated and extended the in fluence of the American nation. Walk ing untried paths and facing unfore seen responsibilities, President McKin ley has been in every situation the true American patriot and the upright statesman, clear in vision, strong in judgment, firm in action, always in spiring and deserving the confidence of his countrymen. "In asking the American people to en dorse this republican record and to re new their commission to the republican party, we remind them of the fact that the menace to their prosperity has al ways resided in democratic principles and no less in the general incapacity of the democratic party to conduct public affairs. The prime essential of business prosperity is public confi dence in the good sense of the govern ment and in its ability to deal intelli gently with each new problem of ad ministration and legislation. That confidence the democratic party has never earned. It is hopelessly inade quate and the country's prosperity when democratic success at the polls Is announced halts and ceases in mere anticipation of democratic blunders and failures. GOLD STANDARD. '"We renew our allegiance to the prin ciple of the gold standard and declare our confidence in the wisdom of the legislation of the Fifty-sixth eongre. by which the parity of all our money and the stability of our currency on a gold basis has been secured. "We recognize that interest rates are a potent factor in production and busi ness activity and for the purpose of further equalizing and further lowor'-ng the rates of interest we favor such monetary legislation as will enable, the varying needs of the season, and of all sections, to be promptly-met in order that trade may be evenly sus tained, labor steadily employed and commerce enlarged. The volume of money in circulation was never so great per capita as i$ is-today. "We declare our. steadfast opposition to the free and unlimited coinage of silver. No measure to that end could be considered which is without fhe support of the leading commercial countries of the world." "However firmly republican legisla tion may seem to have secured the country against the peril of base or discredited currency, the election of a democratic president could not fail to Impair the country's credit and to bring once more Into question the intention of the American people to maintain upon the gold standard the parity of their money circulation. The demo cratic party must be convinced that the American people will never tolerate the Chicago platform. AS TO TRUSTS. "We recognize the necessity and pro priety of the honest co-operation of capital to meet new business conditions and especially to extend our rapidly Increasing foreign trade, but we con demn all conspiracies and combinations Intended to restrict business; to cre ate monopolies, to limit production or to control prices and favor such legis lation as will effectually restrain and prevent all such abuses, protect and promote competition and secure the rights of producers, laborers and all who are engaged in industry and com merce. PROTECTIVE SYSTEM TO LABOR. "We renew our faith in the policy of protection to American labor. In that policy our industries have been estab lished, diversified and maintained.

THE REPORT FROM SHANGHAI OF THE SAFETY OF THE FOREIGN LEGATIONS CAUSES A HOPEFUL FELING IN LONDON. London, June 20. The report of the arrival at Pekin of the international forces commanded by Seymour is not confirmed, notwithstanding the detail ed story sent from Shanghai, which represents the column as attacked five times by a great force of Chinese who inflicted but a trifling loss, while they themselves lost 500 killed. A despatch from Tien Tsin last Friday has reached Shanghai. It states that the places Is practically in the hands of the boxers. The chapels and foreign quarters have been burned. The fate of the Euro peans is unknown. Another account s says that 2,000 Russians repulsed the boxers, killing 300. SEYMOUR IN PEKIN. London, June 20. The news . from Shanghai today is regarded in official circles as distinctly cheering. After the German report, current early this , morning, a despatch announced thetar- rival at Pekinf''A4miral Symou and tne sarety of the legations. A later, der spatclf from Shanghai, published in the second edition of the London Times, announcing, on the authority, of the Taoti Sheng, that Seymour's force ar rived at the Chinese capital June 17. This presages, it is believed, a general brightening of the sitatlon. No details have yet been received of the casual ties or of the condition of affairs at Pekin. RUMOR OF BIG BATTLE. London, June 21. Again it is rumor ed in Lorenzo Marques that there has been a big fight at Maehadorp, which Hhe Boers abandoned, retiring to Ly- deburg. There is, however, no mention of any such fight in the official de satch from Roberts today and there is nothing to indicate that Roberts has been engaged since Botha escaped him on June 13.
