greatness o. our common country third, by
no means least, when the former end was
attained, for the early and hearty recunci-
iation and peace among our countrymcn.
He recognized the propricty of candidate
for the Presidency making no speeches.
yet there IS truth to be uttered in Lohalf Of
those who have placed me before the Amer
lean people in my present attitude which
does them such honor that | claim the
privilege Of stating it here. Now this is
that truth: No person has ever yet made
public the fact that he proposed to support
(or actually dit support ny nomination,
Wnctl cr Vt Cincinnati or baltimore, or in
any action which resulted in scading dele
gates t. either convention, as the basis to 4
claim for office. 10 one who has favored
my nomination before either convention has
sought office at my hand, either for himself
or anyone else, nor las anyone suggested to
me that l might strengthen nlysclf as a can
didate by promising to apPointany ono 10
