GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION
1 feel honored at being chosen to pre-
side temporarily over the delib'
erations of this convention.
We are met to-day to transact the
business of the Republican party, anC
by the work we do, to advance the
substantial welfare of the people a
large. In all our deliberations, may
Justice, fairness, wisdom, and harmO
ny prevail. [Applause.l We stand
to-day on higher vantage grounC
than ever before. The party has beer
tried in peace andlwar. A few year:
ago there were those who said thaf
the work of the party was over; tina
the great military leaders could rais'
armies, and fight battles, but we wer,

men whose valor had saved the cOun

the Union through a four years war
and never lost a battle [spplause] haC
prudence, wisdom, and foresight
enough to stand at the head Of tht
nation, and administer its great con

Three hundred millions of the nation
al debt has been paid. The public
credit has improved every hour. Tit
| burdens of taxation have been lessen

a less per cent of loss than ever be
fore since the nation was formed. Ou

gress for the protection of the peopl,
in the South have been firmly and iu
diciously enforced, and the honor o
the nation has been kept untarnished
Judged by its Tesults-the only tru,
test Of craftsmanship, the admins

stand approved by the enlightened
Judgment of the country. Zap
