THE PRIDE OF OUR 6REAT NAVY. (In Nancy Letter of Chlcato Bap. ttsea the New Ship, While the As­ sembled Multitude Enthusiastical­ ly Cheer--Principal Address Made by Gov. Tanner. The battleship Illinois has at last been launched and inos>t successfully, too, and now this great state will be represented by name in future conflicts on the deep as it has been by so many of its patriotic sons in the past. Amid the confusion caused by a hun­ dred steam whistles and with applaud­ ing shouts from 40,000 people, the bdt- tleship Illinois slid gracefully down the ways and dipped gently for the first time into the historic\vaters where the Monitor pounded the Merrimac into subjection. It was recognized by all present as a natural result that the waters which witnessed the gTeat fig4it of a genera­ tion agx> should receive another tri­ umph of naval architecture which that fight brought about: The new battle­ ship Illinois, though'not yet ready to fig-ht, is afloat, with the stars and stripes above it and) within a stone's throw of the Kentucky and1 the Ivear- sarge, which preceded it into the water. Illinois People on Hand. The Illinois appeared to view before launching as a great hulk propped up on the docks, but its career a» a land building- was ended and its history as a ship begun in the presence of the governor of Illinois, the mayor of Chi­ cago, several hundred representatives of its patron state, and of an Illinois woman who broke the bottle of wine on the big bow as the last oaken shoe was sawed through and the ship began to slide toward the ocean. It was a marvelous launch. With beautiful clear skies, fleecy clouds, en­ thusiastic spectators* and the added presence of a number of ships of war fresh from the glorious waters of San­ tiago and Tuerto Iiico, the Illinois took its first life. A dock yard laborer, struck by one of the flying- timbers, laid down his life to show that itwaa an engine of death which wras being launched. With this sad exception the launch was accomplished as gently as boys push out their toy steamers into the infant waves of the ponds at Lin­ coln park. Miss Letter as Sponsor. • Miss Leiter as the sponsor of the great- ship was graceful, Gov.*Tanner's w hite waistcoat could be seen afar by the crowds, the colonels of his staff brought to the scene the "necessary picturesqueness in the way of gold trappings, shaming the milder uni­ forms of gray-bearded admirals and captains, while Mayor Harrison looked awed as a ship costing; more than the city hall was sent adTift^ with the touch of a finger. The war fever was on everybody and the christening was accomplished with vim and eclat «uch as the Newport News yards have never seen before, |and President Orcutt, of the ship­ building company, is a happy man. After the launch the great red hull, towering 40 feet from the water, fled out into the roadstead without motive powder, without armor, without guns, but a ship of war none the less, want­ ing only a year or two of patient work to outreach the Oregon and Iowa themselves. The launch itself was soon over and then the steamers with the invited guests steamed back to Old Point Comfort, saluting the Illinois as it was towed back to its dock. Chicago has its cruiser and Illinois its battleship, and they are both cracks, fitting representatives of the great state and the great city of the west. Gov. Tanner's Remarks. The speech of the day was appropri­ ately made by Gov. Tanner, who said: "Mr. President and Fellow Citizens: To those whose homes are on the broad prairies, in the greatest of American valleys--the Mississippi--such an occa­ sion as the launching of that'raighty machine which we call a battleship is, in the present epoch of-our country's history, an event of widespread inter­ est and deep import. This interest and import are fully enhanced when such a floating' fort and war engine is to bear the name of the prairie and valley commonwealth whose beauti- : ful and life-giving products are borne ! to ocean and gulf, by lake and river, ' in crafts patterned after, aye, even 1 vying, in naval and architectural beauty with the greyhounds of the At- | lantic, and officered and manned by , the sons and brothers of the salt sea king-s. | "In a peculiar sense we were to-day drawn from our western homes to be present at the christening of the great battleship, and Illinois is not unmind­ ful of the high honor of having1 this splendid ship bear her name. I ven­ ture to say that it is no small thing that the first really first-class man-of- war launched in American waters | since Dewey's Mayday signal victory , made the United States navy the ad- , miration of the civilized world should , bear the name of the state which, on this auspicious occasion, I have the honor to represent. This new battle­ ship is in herself a complete armada, more formidable than 'an army with banners.' ' Virginia and Illinois. "Fellow countrymen of Virginia, fel­ low citizens of Illinois, could there be anything more appropriate than the launching of the battleship Illinois in J Virginia? What historic memories flood our thoughts when we reflect for cumstances! The very foundations of the republic are laid bare by these reminiscences of our common origin. It requires no figure of speech to ex­ press, no flight of imagination to com­ prehend the intimate relations which draw, as with filial bonds^ Illinois, the child of the mother of presidents, back to the cradle--Virginia--in. which its infancy was rocked, and to ponder upon the past, pregnant with history and development, and to understand better than ever the divine destiny of cur common country*--the now and forever reunited United States of America. "In the list of organic laws of the istate of Illinois, indorsed and made official by the supreme court of our state, the original Virginia charter of May 23, 1609, ranks as number one. The boundaries therein stt forth of what is termed 'that part of America cbmmonly known as Virginia' are so given as to embrace the whole state of Illinois. By virtue of tjiat charter, to the state of Lincoln and Grant, in com­ mon with the state of Washington and Jefferson, once belonged, among others, two no less eminent men than Oliver Cromwell and Francis Bacon. For almost 200 years that colonial seed bore no perceptible fruit. It seemed to lie dormant and forgotten in a barren soil. It was, however, but a9 the winter wheat, which is sown in and covered by apparent!}' inhospit­ able ground, only to appear with the spring sun and showers, a bountiful harvest. Patrick Henry's Foresight. "The old thirteen colonies came to battle for liberty and independence. In that conflict Virginia remembered Illi­ nois, and by that isame act, Illinois has never forgotten Virginia. Virginia sent an expedition which,saved our prairies forever to the new republic. And un­ der whos'i guiding hand andstatesman- like forecast was it sent out into the western wilds? Patrick Henry was the first and greatest war governor who sent to our rescue, under command of thijt daring soldier, £ol. George Rogers Clark, that band of patriots who, on July 4, 1778, raised our flag over old Fort Gage, on the east bank of our American Nile, and made this wilder­ ness to blossom with that brightest, sweetest, purest, highest and best product of human government--a free republic that was a republic indeed- and in truth. Thus it came to pass that the Mississippi river and not the Appalachian mountains became the western boundary of the original United States. "If this vast territory beyond the Blue Ridge and the Alleghanies had not thus been annexed by conquest, and had not our original thirteen states thus been expanded by the for­ tunes of war and the foresight of Gov. Henry, the original expansionist, the great commonwealth of Illinois--the key to the arch of interstate com­ merce, situated in the midst of the most fertile valley on earth, with its 5,000,000 of prosperous and patriotic people, 10,759 miles of railroad liaes, and a complete network of telegraph and telephone lines, a territory nearly 400 miles north and south by 220 miles east and west, with 700 miles of navi­ gable water boundary, cooling her brow in the clear, cool waters of Lake Michigan, that greatest of inland seas, she reaches across a Wighty ^empire and laves her feet in the mighty waters at the confluence of the Ohio arid Mis­ sissippi--would have been and re­ mained a part of Canada, our interest in the great lakes and their contribu­ tory streams, mines, woods and fields would probably have been forever lost, and the northwest territory, as such, never have been brought into exist­ ence. What a debt of obligation could any state owe to another greater than Illinois owes to Virginia? _ Work of Pioneers. "The relationship and the service do not end at this point, nor with this act. When it came to the settlement of our state, Virginia contributed much more^than her quota to that army of pioners who made our prairies to wave with wheat, as a golden ocean, and rustle and glisten with corn, as it spoke and^gave life and hope to coming millions. Our prairies became dotted over, as though touched by the w»nd of a magician, with the homes of a happy and prosperous people; our forests re-echoed the music of the woodman's ax; our lakes and rivers reflected back the white wings of peace-bearing fleets, and our mines and quarries were touched as with the rod of Moses, and the willing earth un­ folded and is yet revealing her boun­ teous treasures. "Within the memory of many of us a great conflict arose between the states. An answer to how you of Virginia and we of Illinois now view this divergence is to be found here and now in our presence as the guests of Virginia, called together under high au^ices, and on this highly historic ground, fra­ grant with the achievements of our fathers and redolent of all that hal­ lows and uplifts our common human­ ity. And more than that, fellow- countrymen! For ever since an Amer­ ican ship went down in Havana bay, bearing with it many of our beloved sons and brothers, we have all been . too deeply interested in 'remember­ ing the Maine' to recall the Monitor and Merrimac. And now that the waters of Virginia have given the hos­ pitality of the sea to the battleship Illinois one more tie binds the state of Illinois to her who is at once the mother of states and of presidents. Nation's Sew Destiny. "We are all alike deeply interested in and personally and peculiarly own­ ers of this man-of-war; we are all alike citizens of a common country. As the Illinois takes her place among the bat­ tleships of our nation she goes forth to assert and maintain its honor and to give assurance to the world that our flag is and shall ever remain the symbol of justice and good faith, of liberty and law, wherever white-winged mm* CI < its argosies. < :f "We as a nation are about to enter. upon a greater career, a broader life. , The policy of isolation is ended.

On the other* hand the republicans are pleased. "I cannot see why any democrat^ should 'holler' about Harvey's appolnt-i ment," said Chairman Rannells, of the* republican state central committee.; "It is in line with their state and coun-i ty platforms. There has not been a. democratic county convention in this state that I can remember which has not gone out of its way to indorse spe­ cifically the silver plank of the Chicago platform. They did it again in their state convention. * "After doing that to placate a lot of radicals they havfe been trying to ig­ nore it< in the campaign. They know; this state is against free silver. But we are not going to let them dodge. , Our speakers do not make this point, so prominent as I should like to have. them. Sound money is the only issue in this campaign. Not another thing has come before the people which can be made more than an incident. The democrats think they can shout about, the Allen law and Secretary Alger an<V win. The first Is not a party quea-f tion. As to the second, if any mis­ takes have been made they will be cor­ rected. I tell you the people in thia! country have confidence in President' McKinley. They know that if Secre­ tary Alger or anybod'y else has done wrong he will be treated as he should x be. But President McKinley is not to be blamed for standing by. him the wrong has been proved.** The Defalcation Takle.
