u~,ud satisfaction and cordial appreciation the
action q the Chicago Convention 10 nominating
him for .hs Office OF Presjj"n, Of the United >tacs
X 57lvsl, That tho nomination Of HANNIBAL
U4hfLIN. Of Maine, as Vice Pres dent, IS q most
worthy aud acc ,pta5le completion of tbs kepubli.
can National Ticket, additionally illustrative o.
the elevated snd intelligent patriotism which gov
