rcmarks
GENTLEMEN OF THE CoNvEYTIox-After ton
derlng to you my thanks for the honor YOU have
done me in choosing me to preside over this con-
Nentlon, permit Inc to say that 1t is expected by
some of our friends and by all our political enc
mics, that we will have dissensions and trouble
! here to-day but gentlemen when | look over
the men composing this convention, and behold
the tried men of the great Union party, feel
| confident that their wisdom and patriotism will
defeat the expectations Of all those who have
| come here with such fears or hopes.
IL Is true there are several candidates for each
OF the Offices to be filled and this is right so that
the people through their delegates here assembled
may make choice from among them; and when
choice has been made, those who are not selected
will have no just cause of complaint.
1t must be recOlected by the candidates and
their several friends, that in this Government no
man has any right or claim to office, either by
birth, station or rank above that Of any other
clllzen. We are all equals politically.
Inc olllces OF this country are held in the hands
OF the people, and those who receive them re-
ceiye them as a gift conferred by the people, and
not because they have any claim or right that is
not held in common with every othercitizen.
Holding this to be the true doctrine in select
ing candidates to fill the Offices cannot see why
any should go away dissatisfied.
Coniiding in the wisdom Of the delegates COM
posing this convention for harmony and a good
selection of candidates, l now declare this con-
Ventlon open for the transaction of business.
