power. He related several anecdotes, anG
applied them very happily.
| Mr.. llilllard, Of Alabama, said that he re-
joiced to hear the voice Of congratulation
sounding oil around him. His own preferen
ces. he said had been ardent for Clay, but he
would stand or fall with The nominee OF this
Convention. lie was resolved to sacrifice
aud risk everything for the good of the cuusr;
and he felt assured that the delegates would
all go home with al account of their pro-
ccedines that will impart a corresponding

Mr.. Merrill, Of Pennsylvania, supported
the resolution in a few excellent remarks.

OF New Jersey, and was assured he would do
so again.
MIR. Russell, of Missouri, commenced his
remarks by stating that he came from the
State of the great erpunger. Dark clouds
had long lowered over that State, but light
is now breaking through them. There are
stlll some green spots on which the eye loves
to rest. His first choice had not been sclec
ted, but we leave him in the hands of his
country, with the wroath Of fame covering
his brow.
The Wings of Missouri, said Mr. R., will
support the nominee of this Convention, Gen.
Harrison, aud if thoir decision should fail in
the latter, they will hope to be rejoiced by
The shout of victory from their sister States.
There are considerations in Missouri, that
make the name of General Harrison a tower
oi strength. He is rich in the affections OF
his counirymsn, und the Wings Of Missouri
will do their best--wll die in The Inst ditch.

the Wings of the State he represented had
their first choice. But their prayer will be-
offered up for the success of the ticket.

will never surrender till the gates ut the
White Houso at Washington, are demanded

public.
Mr.. Newton, of Virginia, said that the
State WHICH had The honor to be the birth
place of the first saviour Of his country, will
prove 10 be the birth place Of the second sa-
viour Of his country. He said the character
u at Gen. Harrison ls now much misunderstood
and when better understood will be better
| appreciated.
| Mr.. Bates Of Michigan, said he liked the
ercentrlc Crocksu's mo,to--be sure you're
II righ! then 20 ahead. With Gen. Harrison,
said Mr.. D., we are right, and assure tho
Convention we will "go ahead"
Judge Huntingdon. of Indiana, said ths,
that State has been Whig-and is Wing to
tho core. lie .was certain she would give
General Harrison large majority in 1870
He himself resided Mt Fort Harrison, and he
knew there was no man there who supported
the General in 1896, when the State gave
him eight Thousand majority who would no,
90 so again.
The Judge referred TO the course OF Gen.
II. IN Congress in reference to the pub j.
lands and the early settlers, who instead of
un enemy as they feared found him then
best friend. lie also referred TO the declaru-
lion of Col. 4. NJ. Johnson that Gen. Ilarri

lose battle, and that his nomination will be
received in the West with Il burst Of enthu.

to the people Of the United States.
Mr. b. w. Leigh opposed the motion, be.
leving no address necessary. lie said hc
should he in favor Of leaving the nominations

which we could not hear.
H Mr.. Burncl Of Massachusetts, snid there

wrought.
