Mr.. Thomas, on taking the chair, said that they
had met for the redemption of the Commonwealth.
All minor differences must be forgotten, for in
union alone there was safety, and power to ac-
complish what they desired. While she is worth
saving, before her frame is enervated by political
empirics, it was theirs to save her if they only
wiled it. They could not wipe out the records of
the past, but by another Wing rising they could
dspe the night that had fallen upon the Common
wealth.
For this they needed to build no new platform
Let them be content totread the old pathway which
their fathers trod of loyalty to the Union not only
to do, but to suffer in her All local and tenn
porary success would be purchased at too dear a
price, if at the expense of this loyalty.
The whole contract of the Union should be per.
formed without reservation. There could be no
middle ground They also were in favor of pro-
lection of American industry, wise and jealous
vindication Of our national honor, and preserva-
ton of our national faith with scrupulous regard
for the rights of other nations,
triumph on any mere sectional platform would
be worse than defeat.
In the last campaign they bent before storm,
but bent only to rise again.
