al resolution, which was referred TO the
Committee on Resolutions, and Mr.. Wood
added to said committee on the considera-
ton Of said resolution:
Ps.olcei. That when Official rapaeity, de-
faulting knavery, revenue thieves, swindling
Contractors railroad subsidy rings. and the
legions of taI-eaters and Dent family para
sites, who prey upon our industry, crowd our
cities and watering places with lofty bearing,
it is eminently proper for the Wisconsin De-
Eocracy TO say to this nation that we can no
longer maintain a million Of thieves; that the
result must be discouraged labor, neglected
farms, and s general tendency to PenettaR
be971ry; and that should the Republican party
infiict upon US another term of Grant g adj
ministration. with increasing expenditures
and redoubling knavery, like the last ten
years. we may well recall the benefits be-
slowed upon the English nation by Crom-
wells advent and implore Providence TO
peryst,ate the Liberties Of this nation by giving
Us q delivsrer.

! GESTLEMEN:-I am deeply moved by
the confidence reposed in me by the Con-
vention, and no less By the manner in
which it has been done. Saving that does
not tell the one-half | feel at this moment.
| am profoundly grateful; and vet, |
could have wished YOUR choice had fallen
upon another. 1t was not sourbt. It
was not expected Near friends assent
with reluctance, and my own inclinations
! do not yield without struggle. But there
are times when mans personal wishes
and interests must yield to the public judy
ment. l know full we'll how much Of time
and labor it Will cost. But if the use Of
my name can do ANYTHING to save constitu-
tional liberty and republican institutions
in substance, as we'll as in name, from the
dangers which threaten them, be it so. /
yield myself TO the Judgment Of the conven-
ton, and accept the nomination. Gentle
! men, it may be proper for me- in brief
words, to review the true situation. In
doing so, must speak from my own stand
poins. | can sreak from no other.
The las. few years have witnessed great
events in the history of our country. This
generation has been summoned to meet
great issues, duties and responsibilities
before the war, during the war, and since
its close.
Some Of those issues have been discussed
in the forum, and decided at the polls;-
Others on the field of battle.
Many of them are now closed, and can
never be reopened. They have passed
into history.
| For few moments let me recall some
Of those now buried in the past, in order
to state more clearly the issues and duties
of the present
First among the issues of the past !
mention the repeal of the Missouri Com
PROMISE which divided, to some extent, the
Democratic and originated the Republican
party.
! Next came Kansas with it's bloodshed,-
slave oodo-and Lecompton Constitution,
followed by war on Douglas-thc secession
from the Charleston Conyention-;he
break IN the Democratic party-and the
election Of Lincoln.
Then came conventions and formal reso-
lutions in favor OF secession and indcpend-
cnce in the Southern States.
These great issues, upon which men d.
vided who act together now, each Of itself
sufficient to divide and to create political
parties, were followed BY the still greater
| issue of war-war declared and waged for
secession and independence by the south .
war declared and waged for the integrity of
the Union under the constitution by the
North.
During its progress, however. moi only
