eyes of the people were upon this Conven-

result of our delfberation will effect for good
or evil the action of our sister States. 1t

emotions of my heart at this moment.
thank you for the compliment you have
done me. i thank you for this approba-

acter. thank you the more because the
compliment comes from the tried and true,
and triumphant Democracy of my native
State-a Democracy which has, by patient
faith and devoted courage and heroic effort
and unwavering fidelity to principle,
achieved during the last year an unpar-
alelled victory, and brought us in five
thousand to majority in the
State. The issues presented last OF
all were worthy of your Efforts
They were to maintain the ascendency OF
the white race; to prevent the Africaniza
| ton OF ten States and the hybridization
our our own State; and to lift from the
shoulders of the people the present bur-
them to exert their native energy in the
new career of prosperity on which we hope
| they are soon again to enter. The people
OF Ohio will continue their effort-and il
they do, the Statesman. whoever he may
he, who shall receive from the National
Convention the honor of bearing our flag
will plant it in triumph upon the high
places of power in the Federal Government
Gentlemen, again thank you.

came boisterous, and rush was made by

| late him.

resolutions offered ia Convention he re-
ferred to the committee on Resolution:
