AT that Convention delegates from every
state met as brothers. In that Conven-
ton men talked betCer for Us thSn we
talked for ourselves. Tee men OF the
North met Forrest, shook hands with
Ef.r,, .to ,sr,ov han,
brothers. l heard Frank Blair say he
would like to see man who did not
honor q country that produced a Lee aud
Jackson. We also met the soldiers and
sailors who fought against US. They
said that if this contest mad been left TO
them il could and would be settled at
once. Inoid times the Wings carried the
country by storm with log cabins anu
coon-sKins. The Democracy swept the
Wings from the field in alter days. The ,
fact is, Gil parties went down before the
war. We are all clssping hands now, ,
ready to work for our common country
we loved the old Constitution; We car ,
ried it through the war as the children
of Israel carried the ark, in safety; when
We went out of the Union the Northern 8
Democracy fought against us-they now
go with US against the party working
outside of the Constitution; the only
hope for Radical salvation Is in creating
war; they took up Grant for his mill
tary reputation Grant talks Of war-he t
says, Let US have peace :" AS if war ex- '
listed; COlfsX likewise says, THE war /
must stop" In this whole country, 7
whers is the war? it does not exist.
