ton in substance as fallows:
GENTLEMEN OF THE CoNvENTIoN:-

our work is done. In few hours we leave this
theatre of tho last days Gcton, and enter the
great political vineyard of the nation, where it is
TO be hoped each one of us will severally dis
charge the important duty he owes to our COM
mon country--by the presentation of those inn
mutable principles contained in the great demo-
cratic creed-by perseverance and labor in the
republican faith, and by the protectionof of all those
sacred rights transmitted to us and our country
by our illustrious ancestors, and which are above
all price (cheers after cheers) We shall enter
the campaign of 1914, under the most auspcious
circumstances of success. To our enemy the
! Democratic legions present an undivided and un-
broken 'front.' Deatening applause. The per-
feet unanimity that has characterized our delib

didates? Who can charge upon them want of
ability? Who can deny their truth-their intel=

to the country and say of them as the Roman
mothers did of their children and say of them in
her language, "These are our ewels." deaf
ening shouts of applause.} These are our STAN
dard bearers in the nobest contest the Democ-
racy of the nation ever encountered, and if with
them we cannot triumph, Democracy is but a
bye-word, and the name and memory of Jefer-
son should be stricken from the catalogue Of the
Ibenetactors Of the human race-the founder OF
the grandest theory of Republican Government
ever presented to the world! Let his memory
T be oblteratod and his deeds be forgotten, when
the principles Of the great charter he presented
to the nation are trampled upon and dsregarded.
Gentlemen, | cannot take leave of you, without
expressions of intense pain, and tho most agree
