JUDGE POLANDS REMARKS.
Gentlemen Of the Convention Il esteem
ii no small honor to be called upon to pre-
side over the republicans of Vermont, and
| thank you for the confidence reposed in
me. We are assembled to nominate state
officers. | care very little for the offices.
We always have republican governors in
Vermont, and good ones, and have no
fears for the future. The only solicitude
a : a ltTspt national a fai Wa
speak first The voice of Vermont, small
as she is, is as potent as that of any other
state. We are to have close election, and
If we add ten thousand to our majority of
two years ago it will add one hundred
thousand to the national majority. We
can make it faint or loud, and hence is my
solicuude. How large majority
shall we roll up? How loudly shall
we speak You all know that by
aid of slave powers, democrats
ruled the Union for "A great many years,
and when we elected Abraham Lincoln,
the south rebelled. When the Union was
restored, the old rebel element renewed
their alliance with the northern democracy
because, during the war, they received
more aid from them than ought to have
been given by loyal men, and because
they tried to defeat the adoption of thu
constitutional amendments. The issue is
more momentous than during the war, be-
cause the South, through the democracy,
desire to rule not only their part of the
Union, but the whole Union. Are we GO
ing 10 permit it? | believe not. The
Cincinnati convention has presented
ticket for your acceptance, and it
Although not the first choice OF
everyone, it is conceded to be the
wistst choice that could be made. The
| delegates from Vermont went there unln-
| siructed, and we construed that to meal
| tina. we should vote for a man that could
be elected. We all felt personal kindness
aud affection Tor Mr.. Blaine, aud if tht
| Vermont delegation could have made thu
| election, Mr. Blaine might have been elect
| ed. We wanted 10 nominate man thai
| could be elected. We did our own think
| ing. We did not believe in machine poll
tics We esteemed Ben amin Ii. BrstOw
| as the man most likely to be elected, and
voted for him until withdrawn by Ken
lucky. We had reason to believe tina
when the tide broke, it would break Oh
the sido of Mr.. Brstow, but the dam broke
on the other side, and then we united cheer
fully and j0yfully for Governor Hayes of
Ohio. Gov. Hayes may be a stronger can.
didatc, but believed Mr.. Bristow would
have drawn from the old whig element OF
the south and permanently unite them to
the republican party. where they belong.
| a neighbor of ours was nominated for
vice president, and II was mainly brought
about by the Vermont delegation. What
endeared Gov. Hayes To me was his can
vass for governor Of Ohio last year, when
he was placed on milk aud water financial
platform, which would read either way,
but he said whatever that platform meant
he was in favor Of good honest money.
A man Drawer than his party is brave
man, indeed, and such man is Governor
Hayes. | trust our nominations to-day
may be equally wise, and may be such az
to add ten thousand votes to our majority.
