Full text of the speeches that placed Reed Quay Allison Morton and Vice-President Hobart before the convention. The perusal shows most speeches as masterpieces of oratory and a battle cry for the Republican march to victory in November.
At the Republican convention Pennsylvania declares its support for Matthew Stanley Quay as standard bearer. The speech lauds his record in defense of protectionism, currency stability, and national honor, urging unity to confront Democratic misrule and a looming panic.
Chauncey M. Depew argues the Republican convention must forecast and secure the future under Levi P. Morton. He credits Republican unity, cites Lincoln and Blaine, warns against Democratic policies, defends sound money, and urges Morton’s nomination to restore national prosperity and honor dead party leaders.
A speech urging William B. Allison for renomination frames him as a principled, proven Iowa leader. It praises his long service, tariff protection stance, defense of American labor, and commitment to sound money, portraying him as the strongest Republican standard bearer.
Fort urges nominating Garret A Hobart of New Jersey for vice president. He touts New Jersey Republican strength, a long abolition of Democratic rule, and a pledge to deliver the state’s electoral votes. He presents Hobart as a native leader with strong public service credentials and national appeal.
The Republican platform denounces Democratic misrule and calls for a vigorous foreign policy. It advocates protectionist tariffs, renewed reciprocity, and sound money, plus civil service reform, free ballots, and opposition to lynching. It supports Cuban independence, a strengthened navy, and territorial rights with Alaska representation. The document emphasizes Monroe Doctrine enforcement and a robust national program.
The Washington Star notes busy political lines where candidates argue forward with ambition and vanity. Each seeks favor while fearing being sidelined, trading bricks at rivals with bouquets for themselves amid late night struggles to project dignity.
