spoke as follows:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE
CONVENTIONS Permit me to express my sense
of obligation and gratitude for the great honor
you have done me to-day. Circumstances
which it Is not necessary to discuss, but en-
tirely disassociated from any peculiar fitness of
my own, have made me the standard bearer of
the Republican party in the approaching cam
paign, rather than some one of those distin-
guished men who have been named in that
connection, all more experienced in public
affairs, better known to the people, and abler
to conduct the canvass. With diffidenca I &c
cept the post assigned me, relying upon the
assistance Of the tried and true leaders of the
party who have heretofore conducted it to so
many victories, upon the intelligence and pa
triotlsm Of the great mass Of our citizens, and
above all upon the Justice Of our cause. This
is no time or place for lengthy discussion of
party issues, but may be permitted to say we
are not called upon to desert political organ
izatiOn with such record as ours for the last
ten years, a party which fought to a successful
issue four years of bloody war, and then hon
estly and without complaint assumed the
heavy burdens which the war entaiIed rather
than tarnish public honor or weaken the ma
tional credit-a party which has given free
dom to four millions Of slaves, as well as citi-
zenship and suffrage to a whole race, by con-
stitutional provision valid in fact binding IL
law, destined to stand unrepealed fore7er-a
party which has readjusted the disturbed re-
latlons Of the States, and reconstructed the
government as it was before the war; which
has reduced the national debt at the rate of
more than one hundred millions dollars a year
and taxation In proportion; which has adopted
policy with the Indians on the frontier 50
wise and humane as to render a standing
army unr 7cessary; which by honorable settle
ment of the Alabama question has removed
the last of our difficulties with foreign nations
and inaugurated new epoch in the settle
ment of international disputes by arbitration;
which by honesty, economy and practical good
sense has put us in the lead of the nations IN
prosperity, wealth and happinessl Shall we
desert such an organization as this, and pin
our faith upon the sleeve Of the so called De-
mocracy, who in this city, three weeks ago,
found it necessary, in order to escape the sick
ening record Of its past history, to come to a
dead halt, about face, and make a long march
to the rear? For one I stand by. our record,
and have no apologies to make. In the com
ing campaign the order to our legions shall be
"Forward, guide center, march, Instead of
turning backward, we shall go on to certain
victory over divided, discounted and dis
heartened enemy. Once more allow me to
thank you for your kindness to me.
