one year upon the bench when that gentleman
met the Judge N the streets, and, III my

there IS one thing that can reconcile me to the

we hare got to take Of our coata; ana II We
act IN good faith in accordance with the de-
| cIarations We have made to the colored race.

crown our efforts. The two qualities which
| our candidate must have, besides character
| for intelligence, integrity, and familiarity
| with public affairs. are the ability to go before
| the people on the stump, and the determlna-
ton to do it. Before left tor this Convention
l met Judge Carpenter, and asked m:n II ne
| would accept the nomination if it was rendered

State, and whether defeated or successful, he
