| GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION
1 thank you very heartily for the very
unexpected honor of being called on to
ONCl .JOul uCllDC1dllODO lO-Ooys
/ trust that everything you do will be
done in that spirit Of conciliation, that
practical good sense, and that enthusi-
asm which has distinguished the Re-
publican party of Ohio. The earnest
ness with which you have discussed
| the propriety of the nomination, and
that zeal with which you have discuss
ed the declaration of principles, all in
II 20. that ~ ri nf fhn il
alive and ready to assert itself, thst
the Republican party of Ohio is deter
mined, appreciating the situation, to
march to victory in next October. L
hope that every person here will be
prepared to make personal sacrifices of
preferences, and that you will all agree
to select, in your wisdom, such candi-
dates this afternoon as will on the
whole balance the advantages and dis
advantages, and promise to secure the
largest vote at the coming election. l
trust your platform will be such as will
appeal to the patriotic sentiment of
every lover of our State and country
throughout the broad limits of Ohio.
l do not choose here to indicate much
of what, in my Judgment, your plat
form ought to contain. l think there
ought not to be very much in it; that
we should &C forth to battle in light
marching order, carrying as few
weights as possible. / believe you will
indCrse the excellent and patriotic adl
ministratiOn of the President and his
advisers. / believe you viii indorse
the spirit of his recent letter, in which
he declares against third term. I trust
that you will declare against any juno
tion of Church and State in this eoun-
try. Applause i trust you will en-
ter your solemn protest against the re-
cent action of the Democratic party
when under the lash Of the despotic
priesthood, they did its behests. ZAP
plau5e. thrust that you will revert
with pride to the past history OF the
Republican party of Ohio, which after
being in power twenty years has been
indorsed by all the committees OF the
Democratic Legislature, and by the
Democratic Chief Magistrate of our
State. L trust you will contrast this
with the record which the Democracy
has made in the last two years, where
in they have overturned ore public in
stitutiOn to the greatly detriment of
those Institutions; wherein they have
in the interest Of party sacrificed that
which was dearest TO the people of our
State. 1 trust that you will contrast it
with the action developed by their in
vestigating committees in the last Leg
islature, when votes were for sale at one
hundred dollars per head, and when
Democratic House committee so rs
ported, or when, in the interest OF the
party, the Democratic Legislature,
taking up the delinquentS, man by man,
every one of them.
Again, thank you for the honor you
do me. i beg of you, gentlemen, in
the earnest spirit of doing that which
is best for the Republican party, and in
doing this, which is best for your city
and section, appreciating the signiti-
canoe of this election, to proceed
your duties, and, in returning to your
homes, as we shall u few hours hence,
let us 60 determined tosee to THAT the
action of the people here shall be in
dorsed throughot the limits OF the
State.
While General Noyes was speaking,
General w. T. Sherman came into the
house, and when the echairman had con-
cluded was conducted from one Of the
wings to the front. The appearance Of
the General of the army was the signal
for tremendous explosion OF enthusi-
asm. The Chairman said it was not
necessary to introduce General Sher-
man to an Ohio audience. This senti-
ment was ratified by another burst Of
applause, and the General responded
IS follows:
GEN. sHERMAN'S SPEECH.
