The speakers Of the day were Mr.. Shipman, who.

republican party, going over his war record ard
characterizing him az great in peace as In war.
Hon. Secretary Robson was called for when the
business OF the Convention was concluded, and he,
In O lengthy speech, claimed for the republican
party progressive ideas, and said that while
s Te truths wrong o redress Chat ps
win maintain power. He reviewed what had
been done by the party, and predicted victory
for 1t in November. Some malcontents had said
that the republican party was dead Times may
change, manners may alter, empires may rise and
only for the beneat Of America, but for the down.
trodden OF all nations and peoples and tongues.
The speaker described Grant as quiet but vigorous
astute, yet Simple; OF broad views, but fixed pur-
pose Of noble aspirations and settled principles; q
noble warrior but with heart open to all that Is
good and manly. With the courage OF a lion
and q bravery for the right that constitutes true
character, Grant stood as worthy example OF
statesman, soldier and Christian and he had an
swered criticism by uniform good conduct libels
by devotion, sneers by success and accusations by
achievements. MIR. Robson then reviewed the
principal achievements OF the last few years, and
contended that is necessary for the safety OF the
nation to keep the republican party In power as he
believed they would, by the triumphant election o
General Grant in November.
The Convention then adjourned.
