onlce-noaers 10 take any part IN me work OF
apparent to assail and create disturb
ances among republicans Since the spring session OF
the Senate no occasion has existed, none has been
given by me to the new-ound party oversoers TO ad-
minister correction About half the time have been
some troublesome remains OF fever. When in the

words Of greeting could not be spoken to neigh
drawing down bitter and scornfui den unciatons for
not making political speech indorsing the policy OF

nothing al all has been to DO reproached and vllhed
constantly. Appeals. public and private, have been
addressed TO my neighbors begging them not to send
mo to this Convention and these appeals stated tho
no doubt unauthorized pretence that my selection
would not be agresabloto the national authorities The
meaning OF all this is not obscurcd by tho
fact that the new President has been surrounded ana
courted by men who have long purred about every
new administration, some of them for more years
than many Of you have vcd. Some OF these disinter
estcd patriots and reformers have been days
Of Pierce The friends and suitors OF ali admins
tratons and the betrsyers OF all. The assaults

less inclined 10 meekness and long suffering than
1t should be- IL would have been luxury TO

OF every sincere republican, especially OF one
deeply indebted as to the republican party, 10 en-

ranks For this reason not word 81 reply has
in this and others not less marked 70 call OF tho
dogs For one deeply regret all these things IN 80
far as they are personal ard aimei At individuals
They VI little Consequence In SO far as they are the
acts OF those who heretofore deserted and betrayed
tho republican party and are now STRIVING to make
subserye their personal advancement They need not
be wondered at but their tendency is hurLul and can
not DO misunderstood nor entirely ignored.
EVERYTHING FOR PEACE
l am not for making these things the subject of
action. | am for Tho peace aud prosperity OF this
country aud Of all It's people every and

is tho maintenance, and ascendancy OF the
unity Of republicans tho integrity OF thor prn-
cipes. am tor ono thing moro, aud that is The sue
everything that just wise and real according to
tho constitution ana the laws, and the common
test tho sincerity of all concerned IN this
respect. Mr.. Hayes when inauguraed, deservg from

IN common with others exercised personally

tue ADMINISTRATORS both OF Nj Lincoln
and OF General Grant Neither Of them ever objected
to this. Both we're thankful 10 any man wGo III good

MISTAKES TOO, and they manialy corrected them and
retraced false stens IN the presence OF .he whole
that Mr. hayes will IN these respects differ from his IL
lusrious predeccssorss Whenever any memoer Of this
