coptanco temporary Chairman of this
convention, permit me to dctain you
one momont longcr by few words of
an entirely personal character. With
my present action terminate my official
functions as Chairman Of the National
Democratic Committee, an Office which
by the confidence of my constituents
and courtesy OF my colleagues L have
held for twelve years. During all that
time L have Btrivcn with honest zeal
and with all the energy and capacity
which God has given me to do my duty
faithfully to the party and to the coun-
try, to render myself worthy Of the great
trust confdod to me. While | was
grioycd and deeply mortified to sec ut
various times my motives and actions
miGconstructed by several Democratic
papers that some even descended to
the fabrication Of the most absurd
falsehoods concerning my social aud
political conduct I havo had the proud,
consoling satisfaction that my colleagues
on tho National Committee, those who
know me, testify to the integrity and
purity of my intentions in all the trying
situations III which my official position
has placed me. And let me tell you,
gentlemen, that there is no one amongst
you who brcathes n warmer and truer
affection for our party and our country
than L have done or over shall do You
love this great republic, your native
land, as you do the mother who gave
you birth but to me sho is the chosen
bride and choice of my youth, the faith
full and loving companion of my man
hood, and now that | cntor upon tho
sere and yellow leaf of life l cling to
her with all the foud rccolloctions OF
manifold blessings received at her
hands. l retire from the position which
| have held, to take my place in the
rank and file of that great party whose
national, constitutional and conservative
principles have claimed my unwavering
allegiance for the last thirty years; and
as long as tho Almighty will spare my
life, shall never falter in my love and
devotion to our party and our country.
l have the honor to propose to you
as your temporary chairman distin-
guishod and venerable citizen OF Vir-
ginia, the grandson of the patriot states
man, Thomas Jefferson. 1t is IN auspi-
cious omen, that son of the author of
the Declaration OF independence is to
