President Doolittle was conducted to
the chair by Governor Hoffman OF New
York and Senator Bayard of Delaware
As he reached the platform be was
greeted with cheers.
President Doolittle addressed the con
vention as follows:
Gentlemen Of the convention, / thank
you for this great honor, words can
hardly tell how much, but you viii az
low me to pass at once from what 5
personal, to speak of the great occasion,
the duty and the purpose which brings
us here. Years ago, nearly five years
after the bloody period Of the civil war
had closed, the Liberal Republicans Of
Missouri. feeling keenly all the evil Of
test-oaths, the hate, the
strifes and passions the war had left
upon them, long after the war itself had
closed. and feeling keenly the Executive
federal dictation in the local election. de-
termined to organize a movement to re-
store equal rights to all our citizens,
white as well as black, to restore local
self-government, and 10 arrest the fur
ther Capitalization of federal power
They then said, this thing has gone far
enough, if not too far, the time has come
when all honest Republicans must say
halt, and reasscrt the vital doctrine OF
Government. That under
the Constitution the powers Of the Fed

ed, and that the people of the States
have the right to govern themselves in
their own domestic affairs upon
the basis Of Inequality Of all the States,
before the higher law before the consti-
tuition, and the equality Of al men be-
fore the law, of universal loyalty, am
lesty, suffrage and peace making. No
steps backward taking no right or no
franchise which had been secured to the
blacks.
