the head of the ticket for the second place
thereon. He thought the wishes of the West
ought not be overlooked. He had long known
the gentleman he desired to nominate, and who
had served honorabIy in Congress, who had
done stalwart duty as United States minister
in Paris,
| HON. Z. B. wASHBURNE.

ination and referred to the heroic conduct in
Paris, during the Franco Prussian war, of Mr.
Washburne.

THOMAS SETTLE.

here with the hope that the solid South would
be broken up forever by the nominations to be
made to-day, and he would name man who, if
nominated, would not only carry Florida bnt

in the Georgia and Alabama Democratic major
tiles. The hope of Southern Republicans would
| rise If this man were nominated. He had been
| a brave confederate soldier against his WILL
drawn into the rebellion, but doing strong bat
tie when once in the fight. Thomas Settle was
the man who would give strength to the ticket
in the South and inspires with awe every bull
dozer.
Mr.. Harris, of South Carolia. seconded the
nomination and declared that the strength of
the Republican party would be increased great
ly by this nomination. He referred to Settle
