Mr.. Zicglor said
Gentlemen ofthe Conuention-You will
admit that my selection as temporary
President of the this Convention has
not been effected through any special
solicitation upon my part | can and
do, therefore, the moro sincerely re-
turn to you my sincere thanks for the
honor conferred upon me.
Heretofore it has been customary
for those selected to occupy like posi-
tons to embrace the opportunity there
by afforded to give expression to such |
opinions they entertain, not only on
such subjects as come before the Con.
vention over which they preside, but
on many other subjects. This deem
impolitic and unwise. This Conven-
tion is abundantly able to adjust in a
satisfactory manner, all such questions
as are likely to come before it, or if il
is not, its inability apprehend would
not be materially assisted by any opin-
ion that the presiding officer might en-
tertain. Laughter
Indulge me for a momentor two. The
time scome when the party OF whatever
name or whatever character must prac.
tice what they preach. [Cheors Here.
after promise means performance, and
theDemocraticparty in thisConventlon,
acting on that principle, | apprchcnd,
will be able by its action here to go |
home to those who sent us here in the
conscious conviction that We have dis.
charged our duty. Cheers The pow
ers OF Republican government .are
intended to be exercised in the inter-
csts of all, and therefore the Democratic
party has ever been averso to the
granting of special privileges except
whore tho demand for them has origi.
mated in public necessity. | do not
mean by this to convey the idea that
the Democratic party is opposed to
progress. We are opposed to that sort
Of progress which seeks the accom-
plishment Of ends more through inor-
linatc cupidity than for the general
welfare. Gentlemen, true progress is
not hot house plant forced into an
unnatural growth by the application
Of artificial means; it is a plant of
steady growth, rooted in the principles
1f justice and right and diifuses its rich
ruit over all. Neither is the Demo.
cratic party party which seeks the
achievement of power, or the mainto-
nance when achieved by disrcputablc
means. The Democraticparty lsa party
which seeks power through the chan.
iels of principle, and it intends never
o achieve power in any other way.
Cheers. There comes voice from
he pasta voice from the fathers of
this Convention call.
ng upon them by their actions TO pur.
ue o policy that will be promotive of
he public peace and order, the pros.
,erily and happiness OF the people, and
he pcrpetuity and stability of Repub.
lean government. [Cheers. Let us,
hen, be animated by that noble and
patriotic spirit which seeks the good
# every one. Let us 60 back-not as
he Republican party will bo compel.
d after little while TO 20 back and
ce how the executive, legislative and
judicial powers OF the government have
departed from those great Democratic
rnths which constitute its very life |
ay let us be animated by that noble
nd patriotic spirit; If we do our ac.
ion will be well.
