Co,aUe,,ti0n:--Pe ermit me to express my
sense of obligation and. my gratitude
for the great honor you have done me
to-day. Circumstances, which it is not
necessary to discuss, but entirely dis
sociated from any peculiar fitness o.
myg.oWn, haveSmade me the standard
bearer of the. republican party in the
approaching campaign, rather thar
some one of the distinguished meT
who, have been named in that connec
ton, all more experienced in public af
fairs, better known to the people anC
abler to conduct the canvass. With
much difideneei1 accept the post as
signed me, relying upon the as
Esistance of the tried and true leaders
of the party, whofhave heretofore. con
Quoted. if. to SO many victories; upon
| the intelligence and patriotism ofthe
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 that we are moi
called upon to desert a. political organ
lization with such a record as ours fol
the last ten years; a party which fought
to successful issue a four years bloody
war, and then, honestly and without
complaint assumed the heavy burdens
(which the war entailed, rather than
tarnish the public honor or weaken the
national credit; a party which has Civ
en- freedom to four millions of slaves
as we'll as citizenship and suffrage to
whole race by constitutional provisions
valid III fact and binding in law, des
tined TO stand .unrepealed forever
which has readjusted the disturbed re
llation of the states, and recOnstru cteC
| tho government as it was before the
war; which: has reduced the Hationa
ldebt at the rate of more than one hun
Idred millions of -doliars.a a year, an6
,ttaxatiorl q in proportions; which has
adopted d policy with the Indians OF
4 the frontier so wise and humane as t
render a standing army unnecessary
which, by the honorable settlement Q
the Alabama questions, has removed
i the last of the difficulties with foreigI
nations, and inadgurated a new epoel
lin the settlement of international dis
lputes, by arbitration, which, by hon
'lesty and practicle good sense, has put u
lin The lead Of nations in prosperity, am
Il wealth, and happiness. z Shall we de
lsert such an organization as this, ant
pin our faith upon the Sleeve of the SO
Icalled democracy, who In this city
three weeks ago, found it necessary, il
order to escape the sickining record o
: its past history, to come to a dead hal
land about face, and to make a Ion,
march to the rear? For one, / .stani
