say that think We have right here, to-day,
in the name of the American people, to i'm
peach the administration of our general gov
ernment of the highest crimes that can be
committed against constitutional govern
ment, against free people, and against hu-
manity. prolonged Cheers The catalogue
of its crimes it is not for me to recite. 1t is
written on every page of the history of the
present administration, and | care not how
many paper protests The president may send
into the Hoase Representatives. Laugh
ter and applause We here as the grand in
quest of the nation, will find out for him and
his confederates not only punishment terri
bic and sure, but remedy that shall be sat-
isfactory. IApplause.l
Before proceeding to business, the conven-
tion will allow me to congratulate YOU and
the people on the striking features which
think must have been noticed by everybody
who has mixed in the preliminary discussions
of the people who have gathered in this
beautiful city. 1t is that brotherly kindness
I and generous emulation which has marked
every conversation and every discussion,
showing desire for nothing save the coun-
trv's good. Earnest, warm, generous prefer
ences are expressed. ardent hopes and fond
purposes are declared, but not during the
three days have spent among you all have
| heard one unkind word uttered BY one man
against another. hail it as an augury of
success and If. during the proceedings Of
the convention, YOU will unite to perpetuate
that feeling and allow it to pervade all
your proceedings. declare 10 YOU it will he
the surest and highest omen of our success,
whoever may be the standard bearer in the
great contest that is pending. Loud ap-
plause.
In that spirit. gentlemen, lie, us now pro-
ceed TO business-to the great work which
the American people have given into our
hands TO 90. [Cheers.l
