counties of Delware, Otsego and Scho­harie, we of Ulster knew we were going among staunch Bepubllcane who would gi aet ue with a hearty welcome; but you of Delaware, Otsego and Schoharie have done more than meet us under the genial banner of good fellowship and party fra­ternity. Each of your counties has its favorite sons, able men, well qualified to represent this district In the councils of our nation with honor to HiomselvcB and credit to Its people; but with a gener­osity seldom equalled you have gracious­ly aooorded Ulster's candidate a unani­mous nomination.

Truly. Ulster's lines have fallen In pleasant plaoes. The Twenty-fourth Congressional district has been my po­litical birthplace. Here I have received my first nomination, and here. If I auo to succeed, I must win the confidence and esteem of its electors. The value of sue cess lies not so much in the things It enables one to do, as the consideration It gives that one In the minds of hie fellows. If a majority shall approve your action of today and your nominee Is selected to represent this district In the Fifty-eighth oongress, It will be my ambition to so discharge the duties of the office that upon the expiration of my term I shall have won a creditable position in tho re­gard of the people and my record shall have been knit In the fabric of public confidence.

We are all proud to be classed as mili­tant Republicans. We serve In the ranks of that party which since Its organisation has been on the right side of every great question affecting the prosporlty and de-! velopment of our country. Our party | has courageously met and satisfactorily settled the vital questions of the past and may be trusted to successfully eolvo the Important problems of the present. The time has passed when the artful rhetoric of campaign oratory or the sophistries of campaign literature can dooelvothe peo­ple of this country. They think out and understand the questions for thomselves. They know that the broad and liberal politics inaugurated by that great patriot and statesman, William McKlnley, and so sucoossfully continued by President BooBevelt, have achieved a measure of prosporlty never before equalled fn the history of our country and won for ue a position In the family of nations envied by all the great powers. They know that Governor Odell has given our great Em­pire State an administration marked by wisdom, patriotism and sound business judgment; that he has Instilled economy In every department of the Slate govern­ment and substantially eliminated the State tax. This a practical ago; our people look at results. They know that in 1893, under the last Democratic ad­ministration In this State, the counties of Delaware, Otsego, Schoharie and Ul­ster paid a direct tax for State purposes amountlug to $184,082,10. They know that undor Governor Odell's administra­tion this year tho direct tax la these four counties will aggregate only $9,800.31, an amount so low that upon au assossmest of $5,000 the taxpayer Is required to contribute only sixty-five cents to­ward tho oxpenses of tho State govern­ment, Upon its record in the nation and State our party Is justlllod In appealing to tho American people for their endorse­ment and oontlnued confidence. Let us enter the contest this fall with Increased energy and ssoal, and with a confidence Inspired by duty well done, Let us make sure that the wise policies of the lamented McKlnloy, tho brilliant achievements of President Boosovelt and Govornor Odell's administration aro lndorsod by Increased Bopubllcan majorities, and thus lusuro the contlnuod enjoyment of our un­equalled prosporlty.

After considerable dobato the motion was oarrlod.
