| '' SPEECH OF GEN. MOVES. Al -
| Jfr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
| Contention: Permit 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 disassociated from any
peculiar fitness of my own, have made me
the Standard bearer Of the Republiean
party in the approaching campaign, rather
than some of those distinguished men who
have been named in that connection ! all
more experienced in public affairs, better
known to the people and ADLER to conduct
the canvass With much diffidence ac-
cept the post assigned me, relying upon
the true and tried leaders of the party who
have heretofore conducted it to so many
victories, upon the intelligence and patri-
otism of the great mass of our citizens, and
above all upon the justice of our cause.
This is no time nor place for lengthy dis
cussion of party issues, but may be per-
mitted to say that we are not called upon
to desert a political orgahizeation with
such a record as ours for the last ten years
"a party which fought to q successful is
sue a four years. bloody war, and then
honestly and without complaint assumed
the heavy burden which the war entailed,
rather than tarnish the public honor or
weaken the national credit a particle;
whish has given freedom to four millions
of slaves, as well as citizenship and Suf-
frage to the whole race by constitutional
provisions, valid in fact and binding in
law, destined to stand unrepealed forever,
party which has readjusted the distrac-
ted relation of the States, and reconstructed
the government as it was before the war;
rate of more than S100, 0,000,000 a year, and
taxation in proportion; which has adopted
a policy with the Indians on the frontier,
so wise and humane, as to render stand
ing army unnecessary which by the hon.
orable settlement of the Alabama question
has removed the last of, our difficulties
with foreign nations, and inaugurated
new epoch in the settlement of inter
national disputes by arbitrain, which
by honesty ana economy anu pTaCtiOai
good sense has put lis in the Lead of the
nations in PROSPERITY, wealth and lhappiI
ness.
4; Shall we desert such an organization as
this and pin our faith upon the sleeve Qf
the so-caiIed Democrats, who in this city
three weeks ago found it necessary in or
der to escape the sickening record OF It's
past history, to come to a, dead halt, 70
about face. and to make long march to
the rear? For one, stand by our record
and have no apologies to make in the cam
paign. The order. to our leglonsH Il Snan pe,
forward, guide center, march y ana IN
stead of turning backward, we shall go on
to certain victory, over divided, us
comfited and disheartened enemy once
more allow me to thank you for all your
kindness to me.
At the close of his speech, General Dyes,
