The report was adopted, and the Off
GERS installed.
: The President when introduced to the
Convention spoke AS follows:
CJc7Ric7ncn Of the Convention:
1t certainly becomes me to return to you
= my most sincere thanks for this very unex.
peCted honor. Coming here ES did eXpect-
pecting simply 10 take part in the WORKING
deliberations tnnynn1inn I'm Us
our own immediate delegation was concern.
cerned. had no thought, in the remoteSt
over this body.
After the speeches that understand were
made to you while the Committee were pre-.
pairing their report, presume 1t Is not nee
esSS;lry for me To add anything. As said In
announcing the preliminary organization Oi
this convention, we all undeTsIIud perfectly
/ presume. the reasons that have called Us
together here as "a Convention. The issues OF
the day have been made familiar with all OI
uS. We recognize that now. ny in the DaSi
times, for the last two years, there is "A broad
= deep, distinct, tangible issue presented he
tween us and our opponents. We recognize
| the fact that the day of compromise hiTs not
4 yet come. Compromise, gentlemen, is said
= to be the work OF statesmen; and in certain
r circumstances, in certain tXiEcnCicS OI
. the nation, compromise the work Oi
statesmen; bat submit To yon, hs n PROPOSE
, ton that we can well afford to submit 10 pub-
lie sentiment, whether, when All issue is pre-
sented between principles 50 TIdlcal and SG
distinctive as those which arc held and nd
VOcated by the great number OF the Union
party nf this country and those whoa are seek
ing the overthrow and destruction of that
party, and the overthrow of the govern meut
/ whether the era Of compromise Inns come
For my part, gentlemen, have not been
able To see, with all the examination have
given the subject, where there was any field
: where there was any room, where We
could afford in the least To meet on
: what was called compromise ground Those
Of us who are stigmaIIZeh by our enemies rs
radicals" that we are simply biOOd-th thirsty
) that we simply desire to execute vengeance
wtthoutnn rational purpose; thnt II Is not
the salvation of our country that we seek
but that we desire simply tO crafty a hatred
cngeHdered by tue war, perhaps II hatred da-
ting anteCctiCnt TO the war; but II Is iLsCTibtII
IN us that we are aCtuRtI7I by VindIctivc mo-
lives; aud because our foe has fallen and we
are viCtOrs, for that reason we seek to hunt
him down and carry this contest to the bitter
extremity. Gentlemen, 1t is not necessary
for me in your presence, TO make n defence Ol
our principles and utterly repudiatc and
ignore any such charge. II understand the
feeling OF the Union party of West Virginia
: that party which has struggled up TO Its
present prominence through the fiery OrleIlI
of adversely presented In this WaI-theTC Is
nothing further from their feelings and intcn-
: tiOnS TO day than my desire on their part To
prescribe any portion OF their fellow-citizens
: been made with us. We do not accept IL.
We plant ourselves on the Inherent right OF
our position-on "justlco tempered with
strict Justice; because justice IL in our opinion
our own self-preSGrvatiOn.
The Union party of West Virginia, us rep
rc%cnted In this Convention, have at heart
in the first place the preservation OF theiT
country; and ny an incident To the prcSerVa-
: ton OF their country, the preservation OF
all of uS. up to within the Inst few months
that these issues which hiIve been pre-
Sented to us from time to tiIno during the
war, would have passed away. and that the
time would have come at last, when we could
alInri to meet this people who have been our
opponents In times past on some ground
