VICE PRESIDENT wHEELER's SPEECH
On the permanent president being conducted
to the chair there was great cheering. After
thanking the convention for his appointment
he proceeded with a rapid sketch OF recent
political history, in which he said the policy Of
sion to the rebellion was initiated at Fort sum
ter and exemplifed by the democracy In the
late Congress. His reference to Gen. Grant at
Appomattox was received with the widest ap-
plause, and similar sympathy was expressed
with his compliment to President Hayes for his
f1lmpess In resisting the attempts by Congress
to force him to surrender his veto power and
thus subvert the Constitution. The speech was
general arraignment OF the democratic policy
and its record both during and since the war
OF the rebellion; eulogy OF the record OF the
republican party. and an appeal for the neces-
sty Of continuing the latter In power in order
to maintain and enforce the results achieved
by the sword, and to secure protection to every
condition or locality.
