the honesty and patriotism Of the
President ofthe United States. He
will do nothing but what he believes
to be right, and the accuracy of his
judgment has repeatedly stood the
test of time We can support his
administration not only with the in
dependence of freemen, but with
the charity of friendly confidence.
He will obey the law, and execute
it in the spirit Of liberty. No man
doubts that he will maintain the
honor of our country in all ques-
tions with foreign powers, yet with
sincere desire for peace and har-
mony, and he will maintain unfair
nished the honor of the country by
strict compliance with all public
engagements-by faithful per-
formance of every contract accord
ing to its letter and spirit. Under
him our rapid physical develop
ment will go on. immigration will
be encouraged II new avenues of
trade will be opened, and I trust the
spirit of local jealousy and restric
ton will give way to national
spirit that will secure every Ameri-
can citizen protection and equality
in every State and community in
our loved land. In Ohio at least we
have had enough intolerance and
costs by our last Legislature, to last
us for generation. Let us, then,
gentlemen of the convention, enter
upon the discharge of our duty to i.
day; proud of the generous princi-
pies ofthe Republican party, of the
happy influence upon our recent
history, and secure of their full
triumph by the judgment of an in
telligent people. I thank you, gen
tlemen, again for the honor of this
position, and beg your indulgence
in the dischage Of its duties.''
