peaceful agencies of the balot and all opinions must
 there find free expression and to this end the honest
 voter must be protected against terrorism violence fraud. And affirm it to be the duty and purpose of the
 Republican party to legitimate means to re- harmony that may be practicable and we submit it
 to the practical sensible people of the United States
 to whether it would not be dangerous to the dear

 the of the national government to the party which seeks to overthrow the existing policy under which we are 50 prosperous, and thus bring
 distrust and confusion where there are now order, confidence and hope. The following resolution, with the tenure of office clause stricken out, was adopted The Republican party, adhering to the principles affirmed by it's last National Convention of respect

 EVENING SESSION.
 The convention met again at 7:15, and if teen minutes later business began The roll of States was called for the announcement of names for members of the National Commit tee. (The names are the same as those pub Eshed a few days since, Marshall Jewell being the member from Connecticut.)
 The presentation of candidates for the Presidential ticket was next in order. MT. Joy, of Michigan, rose first He briefly sketched the career of MT. Blaine from the time he entered into National politics, and presented his record as worthy of the party of which he was such an illustrious member.
 Mir PlXlaV of California seconded the DnmI- nation, and was followed by MT. Frye, of Maine, on the same side. Considerable en- thusiasm was evoked by the speakers, and some of the scenes of Friday night were re- peated. Mir. Drake, of Minnesota presented the name of MT. Windom
 Mir. Conkling then rose to nominate Gen eral Grant He said:
 When asked ssWhence comes our candidate ?n we say, ''From Appomattox." (Appause) Obeying in- structions should never dare to disregard express ing also my firm conviction rise in behalf of the State of New York to propose nomination with which the country and the Republican party can terlitz of American politics It will decide whether publican or CossacI." The need of the hour is candidate who can carry doubtful States, North and South, and believing that he more surely than any other can carry New York against any opponent and not only the North but several States of the South, New York is for Ulysses S. Grant. He alone of living Republicans has carried New York Presidential candidate. Once he carried it even according to Democratic count and twice carried it by the peoples votes. and he is stronger The Republican party with it's standards in his hands, is stronger now than in 1868 or 1872 Never defeated in peace his name is the most ilustrious borne by any living His services attest his greatness and the country knows them by heart His fame was born not alone of things written and said. but of the aruous greatness of things done, and dangers and emergencies will search in vain in the future they have searched in vain in the past for any other on whom the nation leans with such confidence and trust. Standing on the highest emi- of human distinction and having filled all

Vilfed and reviled truthlessly ,aspersed by numberless presses not in other lands, but in his own the assaults upon him have strengthened and seasoned his hold on the public heart. The ammuni tion of caIurnny has all been exploded the powder has all been burned it's force is spent and Gen. eral Grants name will glitter bright and imper
 ishable star in the diadem of the Republic when those who have tried to tarnsh it have modered in forgotten graves and their memories and epitaphs have vanished utterly. Never elated by success, depressed by diversity, he has ever in peaee in war, shown the very genius of common sense. The terms he prescribed for Lees surrender fore shadowed the wisest principles and, prophecies of modern wars, he quickly signadzed his aversion to and his love of peace by arbitration of international disputes which stands the wsest and most majestic example of it's kind in the worlds diplomacy When infation at the height of it's popularity and frenzy, had swept both houses of Congress- it the veto of Grant which. single and alone overthrow expansion and cleared the way specie resumption. To him ifnmeasurably more to any other is due the fact that dollar is good gold With him as our leader we shall have defensive campaign, apologies plantations to make Life, liberty and property will find safeguard in him. When he said of the black men in Florida wherever I am they may also, he meant that, had he power to help it. the poor dwellers in the cabins of the South should not be

 His integrity, his common sense, his courage and his unequaed experience the qualities offered to his country The only argument against accepting them would amaze Solomon. He thought there could be nothing new under the sun. Having tried Grant even after interval of years trust him again. The American people exclude Jefferson Davis from public trust. Why? Because he was the arch traitor
 Because he was the arch preserver of his country : civic magistrate he gave his highest noblest efforts to the Republic Is such absurdty electioneer ing iepIe or hypocrisy's nasouerade? There is no field of human activity responsibility or reason in which rational beings object to Grant, because he has and because he has unequalled experience making him exceptionally competent and fit. From the man who shoes your horse to the lawyer who pleads your case, the officers who manage your railway. the doc tor into whose hands you give your life. or the do you reject because you have tried him and y his works have known him?

Who dares to put letters on the free choice and judgment which is the brthright of the Ameri people Can it be said that Grant has used off, cal power to perpetuate his plan He has place.
