A SPEECH, A SPEECH
MR.. PRESIDENT, / know, sir, that
this immense and enthusiastic eonven-
ton will pardon me if say one word
of kindness and of thanks to the glor-
ious supporters that our candidate, Mr..
Blaine, has had here. Applause No
words of mine can express the thanks
which Maine gives to you men who
have stood by her as you have here to-
day. God bless you for ever and everl
AT this point Mr. Frye's voice in con-
sequence of hoarseness became almost
inaudible l have done too much
hallooing for James G. Blaine to pre-
serve my voice. Applause and laugh
ter. We recognize the fact that the
convention in its wisdom has selected
the Hon. Mr.. Hayes as the standard
bearer in this next great contest for
liberty, for justice, for humanity, and
for civilization; and the State OF Maine
accepts and endories fully and CON-
pletely and rejoices in the nomination
of Mr.. Hayes. Cheers
Our gallant chiefton, James G.
Blaine, in September next shall take
the field in the State of Maine for the
man you have selected, and we shall
sweep that State for Hayes by 10000
majority. -Cheers. And when we
have finished Maine we will go for
ward under the lead of Blaine into the
old commonwealth of Massachusetts,
Cheers and we will sweep her with
their help, docking at the delegation),
by 60, 900 majority.
MIR. Frye's voice at this time became
so husky that he could hardly speak.
He realized it was impossible for him
to proceed, and therefore said, sit is
useless for me to try to speak; my voice
is all gone"
Judge Poland. of Vermont-Let me
suggest that you do not speak loud;
speak in your ordinary voice and we
will keep quiet.
Mr.. Frye-I close by simply saying,
or making motion, or seconding mo-
ton that has been made, that the nom-
ination of Rutherford b. Hayes be
made unanimous. Deafening cheers.
The Chair-The question is, shall
the motion be agreed to?
1t was agreed to without dissenting
voice.
The Chair-It is unanimously agreed
to. Great cheering.
For Vice President the names of
Marshal Jewell, of Connecticut, Wm.
A. Wheeler, of New York, and Stew
art l.. Woodford, of New York, were
placed in nomination. Woodford
withdrew after the balloting COM
menced, and when the calling of the
roll had reached Tennessee it became
evident that Wheeler was nominated.
1t was moved to suspend the balloting
and nominate Wheeler by acelamation,
which was done. After the nomina-
ton, the Chairman read the following
dispatch.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June II, 1876.
