In the evening at the sound of the
drum and fite,' there was grand rally in
front OF the Wright House. The vast
multitude there assembled was addressed
by Gov. Wright. whose appearance upon
the stand was greeted with prolonged and
deafening cheers.
The speech Of Gov. Wright was one Of
those eloquent. off. hand efforts for which
he is so justly celebrated on occasions
like the one Of last evening. We give
below the substance Of his remarks, and
in doing so. do not feel that any apology
is necessary. Gov. Wright said:
rhev have given US the distinguished
son of Pennsylvania. James Buchanan.
He comes from the right quarter--the old
Keystone State. the. most precious stone
| in our proud edifice-the land of Frank
lin, Morris, Mulenburg, and Buchanan
my owr. my native State--the first State
! in our Union that adopted and ratified our
! glorious Constitution. and the only State
Of the North that in the great contest OF
1896 which cast her vote for Thomas JEFF
rferson against the elder Adams, and. in
my humble judgment. this day has less
fanaticism and sectionalism among hel
masses than any of the original thirteen
colonies-tEe first State in the Unior
that nominated General Jackson fc: the
Presidency. Pennsylvania has never hat
q President, yet she has constantly sup
ported the men OF right faith and princi
plies, having voted uniformly for Wash
ington, Jefferson. Madison. Monroe, ant
Jackson. casting her united vote for th'
election and reelection of these patri
archs and founders of the Republic.
James Buchanan is the man for tn
times. The people desired his nomina
tion, not the politicians. and most no5l,
has The National Convention responde
TO the voice Of the people. No man No,
living has rendered more important sci
vices to the country. No man Twin
has filled so many responsible position
in our Government with such ability an
usefulness TO the country. From tn
year 1914, the commencement of his put
lie life, until this day, he has been th
faithful and indefatigable public servant
James Buchanan was an acknowledge
favorite of James Madison at the close {
his Administration. In 1928 Jane
Monroe rendered him the mission I
TO Mexico. AS Minister to Russi'
, under the appointment Of General Jaci
: son, ne negotiated the first commerci'
{ treaty between our Government and Ru
sis, which secured to our commerce Ii
ports Of the Bsltic and Black seas.
