GENTLEMEN OF THR CONVENTIONAL
am thankful to you for tho compliment
just given by selecting me to preside
over your deliberations. Matters con-
nected with our continued success as
the party OF progress and liberty will
demand your attention. While there
may be slight differences amongst our
Union people on matters Of minor i'm.
portance; there is perfect agreement on
the vital issues between us and our
political opponents. It will be our
duty to see that this harmony Is not
impaired but strengthened.
In addition, gentlemen, to the ap-
pointment of delegates to the Chicago
Convention, 1t Is generally understood
that this Convention will devise more
efficient plan of State and County or
GaniZatiOn. Heretofore we have beaten
the common enemy without organIza-
tton-with 1t We can overwhelm them.
But this, with other matters, gentle
men, is for you to perform, rather than
for me to suggest. In the political
struggle upon which we are soon to en-
ter the interest, perhaps the existence,
OF our State Ia involved. Let us be
ready for the hour, and by the faithful
discharge OF our duty, render ballots
in the hands OF our political foes, as
the hands OF rebels during our civil
war.
On motion of Mr.. Ferguson, of
Cabell, the rules of the House Of Dele.
