The following is Gratz Brown 5 speech
in favor Of Horace Greeley:
Mr.. President AND GENT EMEN OF
THE CoNvENTloN-Although dele
date to this Convention, it has not
been possible for me to meet with you
until to day, as | have been detained at
home By official business, and now,
when come in for the first time, | find
myself in an embarrassing position.
Some OF my good friends from my own
State and many from other States have
done me the honor to cast their votes
for me for the highest Office in the gilt
of this Convention. Now | do not
deny that that office is the highest
prize worthy of the ambition
of any man on the broad
face of the globe, and | also recognize
the fact that it requires abilities, cul-
ture, experience, age, and many quail
tiles which my modesty forbids me to
believe and which my judgment con-
vinces me that | do not possess.
TCheers. I | therefore, after rendering
to YOU my thanks for the compliment
which you have given me, desire to say
in brief that / came to this Convention
with no personal ends; that | am ami
mated sincerely and solely by a desire
of victory in this great contest. [Ap.
plause. We want a man nominated
who will carry the largest Republican
vote in this Convention in defiance Of
the regular Grant organization, and
tina man, in my Judgment, is Horace
Greeley. Immense applause.
