ny of the recognition of the one-man.

| fty Of the recognition Of the one-man
power was go great. Never before wal
there 30 much danger of such radica
change as the recognition Of this power
would bring about. We are satisfied
| to let that which made us remain, and
we should therefore make every en-.
deavor. But there is another reason
for us to be interested.
We have reached time when prob.
ably citizen of Delaware is about to
be raised to the highest position in the
nation-(wild applause, the Conyen-
tion rising in mass and cheering, )snd
we as Delawareans are fitly proud that
the time has about come-a time OF
which we should be proud-when Della
ware presents upon the altar Of her
country great and pure man as the
candidate for the Presidency. We have
met to-day to place before the country
for President, the name of Thomas F.
Bsyard, (cheers) whom we all trust
and mean to work for, and whom Wa be.
lieve will be the next President Of the
United States, (long applause.)
