- Gov. Cox, on being introduced by the
chairman of the meeting, was received
with great applause, and spoke as fol
lows: ,ha
Il was not put on the programme for
tonight, my friends, and still think be-
fore many minutes Gen. Schenck will
be here to address you. | willsay this,
while you have not those here whom
YOU expected to address you, that have
not hesitated to appear from any disin-
clinstioi, TO meet here 'or, elss2 bore,
my friends of the Republican party.
| hope through the canvass TO. meet
many Of you iu your homes again. l
do not mean to shirk from work, but
though, as there are a number Of
strangers who could address you, that
il was proper they should occupy your
time, and that those of us who stay here
might save our strength for some other
occasion. Still Iahink it tupon the
whole, quite appropriate, and am glad
l have the opportunity, before you, the
members of the Convention, have dis
persed, to express my satisfaction with
the work accomplished to-day, ,,s..
Ny own personal desires, as before
expressed, have been fulfilled as ! wish
ed they might be. Therefore, having
the most perfect satisfaction in being
with YOU as one of the Union party,
thought no longer burdened with carry
ing the standard, yet with as hearty a
zeal and as determined a feeling as ever,
| IlsbalI strive to aid all / can in the
work! ; vss' oSAss'
l have had the pleasure, for many
years, of being acquainted with the
gallant and accomplished gentleman
whom you have to-day selected as your
standard bearer. Is In 1881 it was my
good fortune to serve in the same com
mand with him. Part of the time, du-
ring the. early part of the VAIL was
command ant of the division in which
he served and have tested his capacity,
both in relation to civil affairs, and as a
soldier, and ! can assure you, where
ever tried, Gen. Hayes has never been
found wanting,
l am glad also 10 know that the same
istrde Of every gentleman whose name
| is upon the ticket. Our attorney Cen
eral, were his physical strength equal
to his intellectual, would also prove a
most efficient worker, and we hope be-
fore the summers over he may regain
his health, so as torender valuable aid.
We can say in reference to all the
material of the ticket, that we feel there
never was time when we could go in
to campaign with more confidence of
success than this year,
But you have your part of the work
to do; we all have our part to do. It
will not do to say, because these gentle
man are put in nomination for Office,
that all the labor must be put on them,
Everywhere, in every county, in every
township, in every school district, in
every family work is to be done, and we
must do it. sf z ~ usiiE
1t isnot by simply wishing that can,
vssses,sre- won. IT sis not by AuErah,
ing and cheering, but in order that We
may carry great principles orimportant
Estate tickets, every man, every woman,
and every shild must put 4, shoulder
to theiwheel and make onr neighbors
understand that work is 10 be done.
Now, as / said before, / am willing
to do my part. Are you willing to do
!, yours! Cries of dyes! yesr" be
iieve you are. We have been, as a ns
ton, for some time Watching sfhe
logic of events, I" phrase used by oul
lamented, martyred Lincoln 5zsa &c =
This becomes our wstchword; the
,Ilogic of events does not mean theoretit
teaching, but the knowledge learned
BY what passes under our eyes; and of
Item that chain of events is so connected
that what was done yesterday neces
states what must be done to-day. Wha'
our opponents did yesterday may de
termine our course to-day. Now b.
this logic,of events, under the teach
ling, as win as under the guidance o
Providence, the American people have
determined its course with regard t.
I the momentous question pertaining Z
