Indepedence-fro this outrage there could
be no appeal to the courts and the Republ-
can candidate for the Presidency has accept
ed the position which makes the rights and
liberties of large share Of oar people depen,
dent upon his will. ln'view of these things,
can there be no man In this Convention who
can let personal ambition, passion pre-
judice, turn him aside one hairs breadth in
his efforts to wipe out the wrongs and out"
RACES which disgrace our country Can
to all that is great and noble patriotism that
he will not gladly sacrifice all other things
for the sake of his country, its liberties and
its greatness 2 Can we suffer any preiudces
growing out Of past differences Of opinion, to
hinder US from uniting with all who will
act with US to save our country2 We meet
to>day to see what measures can be taken 10
arrest the dangers which threa ten our coun-
try, and TO retrieve it from the evils and bur
dens resulting from bad government AMI un
wise counsels. thank God that the strife
of arms has ceased, and that once more in
great Conventions Of our party we can call
through the whole roll of States and fin6
men to answer for each. Time and events in
their great cycles have brought Us to this
spCt TO renew and invIgorate that cnns,itu-
tional Government which nearly eighty years
ago was inaugurated in this city 1t was
here that George Washington, the first Press
ident, swoTe to preserve, protect, and de-
fend the Constitution OF these United Stat
es. And here, this day, we as solemny
pledge ourselves to uphold the rights and
Liberties of the American people. Then, as
now, peat war which had desolated our
land had ceased. Then, as now there was in
every patriotic breast, q longing for the
blessings of good government, for the pro.
lection Of laws, and for sentiments Of frater
nal regard and affection among the inhabi-
tants of all the States Of the Union. When
our Government in 1889, was inaugurated in
this city, there were glad proces sions of men
and those manifestations Of great joy which

has happened which is to give lasting bless
ing to the land. To day in this same spirit
this vast assemblage meets, and the streets
Of this city are thronged with men who have
come fran the utmost borders Of our CONT
uent. They are filled with the hope that we
are about, by our actions and our policy, to
bring back the blessings ola good govern
ment. 1t is among the hsppiest oncns which
inspirit US now thai those who fnught brave
" in our late civil war are foremost in thei
dema uds that there shall be peace in our
land. The passions of hate and malice may
linger in meaner breasts, hut we find our
selves upheld In our generous purpoes by
hood on the field of battle. In the spirit,
then, of George Washington and of the la
triots of the revolution let us take the steps
to reinaugurate our Government, to start il
at once again on its course to greatness and
prosperity. May Almighty God give US The
wisdom to carry out our purposes, TO give to
every STATE of our Union, the blessings of
peace, good order, aud fraternal aff ,ction.
Mr.. Seymour closed amid long continued
and tremendous cheering.
