Hon. George L. Converse appeared on the stage
and after thanking the Convention for the favor
conferred proceeded to speak OF the three prin'
cipal candidates Of the Republican party-Grant
Sherman and Blaine. OF all three he said they
proposed to enter the White House by some other
way than enter the door, The first had the nerve
to train guns on the White House In 1876 He will
have the nerve to do 1t again. or the second, Mr..
sherman, he said money bags would be at mis-
control. Mr.. Converse said that recent report
of Senator Davis showed that leaves missing,
erasures and alterations In the books of the
Treasury involved about two hundred millions OF
dollars. OF Mr.. Blaine, Mr. Converse said he
would try to reach the White House by waving
the bloody shirt.
Mr.. Converse then reviewed some OF the history
of the Republican party the worst phases of it, in
his Judgment. He admitted 1t had some good
phases and he wondered how 1t succeeded In car.
rying the worst phases, He spoke in his usual
stirring vein, eicting frequent applause.
While the Convention was waising for commit.
tees to report Hon. John McSweeny, General
George II, Morgan, General Durbin Ward, and
others, were called out to make speeches. Each
excused himself from making a set speech, and
put the Convention off with witty and general
remarks.
