SPEECH oF CARL scHuRz.


The following remarks were made by
Gen. Schurz, on taking the chair as
temporary President of the Convention
Mr.. Schurz said: Gentlemen of the
Convention-Iti is difficult for me to ex-
press how highly l appreciate the honor
you have conferred upon me by this
You will permit me to
offer you my sineerest thanks. This is
the fourth National Convention of the
Republican party. The short career Of
that party has been marked by events
to which coming generations will point
with pride, admiration and gratitude.
The Republican party was born, and in
its very infancy it grappled with pre-
Iudice of race which, until then, seemed
to be omnipotent with the masses of the
American people. Our second onset
broke through that and carried Abrs-
ham Lincoln into the Executive Chair
of this Republic as the great champion
of the anti-slavery cause. Then came the
slayeholders' rebellion, and the loyal
people of this country displayed hero
ism, devotion and perseverance under
distractions and defeat which may
serve as a glorious example to all the
nations on the earth. Applause.
The result of the struggle corresponded
with the great effort. The life of the
nation has been saved. Tie black blot
of slavery has been wiped from our ma

The Convention met at 1890 and
was called to order by Gov. Waid,
Chairman of the National Committee.
A brief speech was made by Governor
Ward, stating the object of the Con-
vention, which was loudly applauded.
His allusion to Gen. Grant raised the
audience to perfect furore of enthusi-
asn1.
Bishop Simpson offered up an elo-
quent bendiction, closing with the Lords
Prayer.
General Carl Schurz was then chosen
temporary Chairman of the Conyen-
ton, and was escorted to the chair amid
thunders of applause. Gen. Schurz de
livered a most happy and eloquent sd'
dress Of some fifteen miutes, after which
the convention proceeded to appoint
committees on credentials, permanent
organization, resolutions and rules, and
then adjourned till o'clock in the
evening.
The Convention reassembled prompt
ly at o'clock. Gen. Hawley, Of Conn,

SPEECH OF HON. FRED. HAssAUREK.

We present the following extracts
from the fine speech of Mr.. Hssssurek,
of Cincinnati, regretting that we have
not space to give it entire:
1 have heard it said that the South
ern portions of our country are in want
of new Moses, to lead a people un-
fitted for self-governmeut to and fro in
the wilderness, until the old genera
ton, with its prejudices and vices, has
died away, and new generation has
sprung up under different system Of
society. But, fortunately, it does not
take forty years, in this wonderful coun-
try of ours, to bring up new genera
ton. A writer in Blackwood's Month
ly-a British Tory magazine-once
said that the Americans have a remark
able way of 6lundering through their
difficulties. There may be some truth
in this assertion. Blunders may have
been committed in our many attempts
to solve problem SO new, so unprece-
dented, so difficult, but even our
blunders have had their lessons, and,
hence, will contribute to bel p US through
our difficulties. Let us trust to the
spirit of our institutions; let us trust to
the principles which underle them; let
us trust to the genius of our people
let us trust to the glorious successes Of
our past, for they are gusrntees of a
bright and happy future.
And first there must be peace and
safety. The sooner our countrymen in
the South understand that there must
be peace and security the better it will
for them and for the country. There
must be no riots, no mobs, no burning
of school houses and churches, no assas-
sinations, no Ku-Klux-Klans. A Union
man in Georgia or Mississippi, be he
white or black, must enjoy the same
security of person and property that is
vouchsafed to any rebel who comes to
live among us in the North. A North
ern merchant or traveller must be able

Tenth-Of all who were faithful in
the trials of the late war, there were
none entitled to more especial honor
than those brave soldiers and seamen
who endured the hsrdships Of the CAM
lpaigu and cruise, and imperiled their
lives in the service of the country. The
bounties and pensions provided by law
for these brave defenders of the nation
are obligations never to be forgotten; !;
the widows and orphans of the gallant
dead are wards of the people, sacred
legacy bequeathed to the nations pro-
teeting care.
Eleventh-Foreign emigration which
in the past has added SO much to the
wealth, development and resources and
increase of power to this nation, the
asylum of the oppressed Of all natians,
should be fostered and encouraged by
a liberal and just policy.
Twelfth-This convention declares its
sympathy with all oppressed people
which are struggling for their rights.
The following additional resolutions
offered by Carl Schurz were adopted
and embodied in the Platform:
Resolved, That we highly commend
the spirit of magnanimity and forgive
ness with which men who have served
the rebellion, but now frankly and hon
estly cooperate with US in restoring the
peace of the country and the reconstrue-
ton of the Southern State governments
upon the basis of impartial justice and
equal rights are received back into the
communion of the loyal people, and we
favor the removal of the disqualifcations
and restrictions imposed upon the late
rebels, in the same measures as the spirit
of loyalty will direct, and as may be
consistent with the safety of the loyal
people. TCries of "Good ,goodT] y =.
Resolved, That we recognize the great
principles laid down In the immortal
Declaration of Independence as the
true foundation of democratic govern
ment and we hail with gladness every
effort toward making those principles a
living reality on every inch of American
coil

Before the summing up of the nth
ballot was announced, Gen. Williamson
of Iowa, rose and desired to change
the vote of that State, which had been
Colfax 8, Fenton 8, and make it unaHi-
nous for Colfax. (Great applause.
He was followed by a delegate from
Connecticut announcing that State,
which had voted 8 for Wilson, Q for
Wade, and for Colfax, was unanimous
for Colfax. ~ l T.
Then the votes of Louisiana, Massa-
chusetts and other States were changed
to Colfax entire. Other States follow
ed, amid loud and excited cheering,
and yociferous calls upon the chairman,
each State desiring to be among the
first to confer its unanimous vote upon
the Indiana statesman. An aged dele
gate from Indiana swung his cane and
hat in the air in high glee, himself
being mounted upon a chair. Every
body was hurrahing, swinging their
hats, handkerchiefs, ETC., and amidst
such exuberant enthusiasm the feeling
was so contagious that it spread even
to the warmest Wade and Fenton men.

an able speech for Seymour aud Blair.

held in gloomy hour Of our republic 1t

was erect, and when the south was array.

of our revolutionary fathers, who gave us
all We were proud to own. On that night
you rallied and sent your brothers and
sons to the tented field to maintain those
Institutions. You rallied in your strength
and in the providence Of God were suc-
cessful in UNFOLDING the flag Of our union;

ton for US aid our descendants But
dark as was the hour, quite as dark an
hour lowers over this government now :;
and whether the gloom shall be dispelled,
or whether We are to have eternal night.

in German and English, and is devoted to
the literary AID social advancement of the
Jews This is taking the proper course
to advance the interests Of those whose re-

extract will bear witness:
1.-The children of the free land, our be-
loved America, not recognizing The bless
ings that God had showered on them,
quarreled, and war was the result. Men
without principle or honor, men in whom
ralsd the worst passions, few to join the
honest men that had taken up arms, and
by their impudencs, pushed themselves to
the foremost positions, and, when the
stars Of Office decked their shoulders, be-
camo proud, and thought, now that We
have power, we can rule. and, under the
plea Of military necessity we eau vent our
spite unreproved. Among the many gen
erals that the army Of America was GOV
erned By, was one L. S, Grant, former
tanner and pork dealer, whom it was re-
ported, had a great antipathy to the Jews.
la the portion Of the country given to
this general to command lived large
number of jews, some Of them old settlers
retired from business; many Of them
wealthy citizens; and some army followers
and smugglers of medicines through tie
lines Of the hostile armies.
As soon as Grant heard of the latter
class, he issued general order, bearing
not only OH the smugglers, but upon the
whole race Of Judea. This order, or roy
al edict, branded the whole of the Jews
as class, as outlaws, and banished then
from his domain within twenty four hours

These considerations make US deeply

His position and influence have beer very
