Mr. Harry I. Hays, on taking his seat as
president, said: We have come here on no
local politics.. but on the national question
and to express our satisfaction at the
nomination of Horace Greeley and B. Gratz
Brown [Applause.I But short time ago
few men assembled together, and, forget
ting selfish motives and the usual incen-
tiyes, determined that this should be the
government of the people, not the govern
ment Of the United States; that the popu-
lar voice should be no longer gagged and
cowed down by the despotic nature of the
government. 1t was but short time after
that the storm which arose from the move
ment mo bigger than mans handp burst
over Cincinnati, and in the nomination of
our standard bearers excited thrill over
the whole face of the land. The North
has sent its bayonets to rule our
land, its officers to ill our posi-
tions of trust, but ia this movement
they say to us now, "Let us forget the past
and stand as brothers. once more" The
Northern Democrats have in their action
accepted this principle Of good fellowship,
and the entire party in convention assem-
bleG has given us Horace Greeley and Gratz
Brown. [Applause.l They tell you Gree
ley was an abolitionist that he favored
emancipation and dreconstruction,a and all the
other isas. He did favor emancipation, be-
cause 1t was on principle, for he had some
principle, and hetnever deserted it until it
was an accomplished fact. Mr.. Greeley
has no claims on the Democratic party, but
in the face of the present circumstances
there is only one way to destroy or act
against the power-the centred power Of
General Crant-and that is to vote for this
ticket We will not take him as a Demo
crat, but for the assurances he gives us that
he will carry out the true principles Of the
party; for whatever may be said OF Horace
Greeley, no one can say that he ever went
back On his word. [Applause,1 Would

state1the infamous officers he has sent
here lCries Of "Neyer ! ] Then you
must not vote. fol, Grant, for by 90 doing
you ratify all Of his acts.
