srEEcH OF GEN. GIBSON.
MIR President and Gentlemen OF
the Conveution:--l have no language
to express the gratitude l feel for
the honor which you have this day
conferred upon me by committing to
my hands the Republican banner OF
the 9th District of Ohio, aud with
Gods help | will fight it out on this
line to victory in November. IGreat
applause. At amy time such dis
tinotion would be an honor that any
ono might crave, but to be selected
from among gentlemen so much more
able aod distinguished than myself,
is an honor for which l have no
words 6t to thank you. We are en-.
tcring upon a political contest which
has more Importance in its issues
and results, than any yet presented
in this country. Eight years since
traitors declared that If we elected
Abraham Lincoln they would rebel
To day they declare that if they elec
Seymour and Blair, they will revo
lutionisc the governments of all th,
Southern States. The question is
shall the loyal people of this coun
try, who poured out their blood
like rivers to save the nation, still
govern it, or deliver it over to The
tender keeping of Toombs, Cobb
Wise, and tho unhung scoun-
drels, whose hands are still stained
with tho blood of our Kindred
voices, no, never.
In order to maintain our position
in this district l comprehend Tho
duties devolving upon us, and to day
| say to you, We must organize il
every school district and township
in our counties, aud bring oul
strength to the polls, and we car
carry the 9th District for union
loyalty and reconstruc ton.
Fellow citizens, l shall not de-
tain you any longer. You have boc7
detained too long already, but
assure you that l shall enter upor
the discharge Of my duties as your
candidate aud standard bearer with
a will, aud if we are defeated it will
be after such fight as our opponents
will remember while they live.
again thank you for the honor con
ferred, and as the trains are waiting
for the present l leave you. Loud
cheers
Three cheers were then given for
GIBSON, aud three times three for
the cause.
