liam Window q . candidate for President
and to adhere TO him until it is apparen
that his nomination cannot be secured in
any possibility. He is supported by us as .
candidate for that high Office upon
tho ground of bis spotless personal charac
ter, his training and capacity - statesm IN
his Identification with the most advanced
principles of the Republi,an party during it's
entire existence, and as being . nominee
upon whom oil differences of opinion ~ to-
tho merits of candidates can unite in recon-
ciliation.
When the duty of the delegation to MI.
Window as expressed in the foregoing res
olution is fully performed, and in case it be-
comes apparent thst his nomination cannot
be secured and is impossible, the delegation is
instructed to support James G. Blaine. This
convention declares that among the candi-
dates who were named for the nomination
for President up to the time of the candidacy
of Mr.. Window, Mr.. Blaine was the choice
OF the Republican party of this State. We
have noted his career. We find in him a
representative of those republican principles
upon which our SUCCESS depends. We know
without assurance what his voice will be at
every encroaching step whereby the broken
rebellion in alliance with Democracy ad-
vances to seize every function of the govern
ment. He is cherished by Republicans as 10
party leader has been since Henry Clay, and
ne is especially beloved by the Republicans
of this State.
Gov. Davis followed his resolut,on by say
ing that the resolution expressed not only
his conviction but the sentiment of the con-
vention. He disclaimed any hostility to
Window, and was urgent for his candidacy,
and he called to attest that no word since the
delegates had come together had been uttered
against Window, and in the same spirit of
harmony advised by the chair in his opening
speech, he had offered the above resolutions.
They expressed his sentiment, and that no
thought was in full accord with the feeling
of the convention. Applause.
An attempt was made to pass the Sec
cOnd of the above resolutions after Gen.
Bakers report as an addition to the plat
form, but the molten was laid on the
table.
MAJOR Halsted offered the following,
which was also disposed of as above.
Resolved, That the nomination of Grant
third time for President being in conflict with
An unwritten law over . century old, also with
the expressed sentiment, of Grant himself, in
1875 and 1876, would produce such discord in
the Republican party as to cause its defeat.
Therefore, this convention is opposed to the
nomination of ex-President Grant.
