We turned TO our Ir1enQ8 or INDIANA and
asked them to choose from their State the
best man to be associated with
Gen. Hancock, and from that
it came that when Indiana was
called she named and voted for William II.
English for Vice President, and all the States
but one gave their full votes with Indiana
for English.
Gentlemen, we of the delegation have
been praised and complimented for our part
in this good work. But remember that
in our State convention there were 800 Min
nesota Democrats present. 1t was large
convention of our ablest and best
men. It declined to instruct US
for or against any man. 1t
charged us with the interests of the Demo
cratic party, with the hopes of the Democra-
cy of Minnesota for the party throughout
the country, and it left us free to exercise
our judgments on the spot, and in the pres
ence where we were to act. l think right
there, in that State convention, was where
we had our inspiration which guided Us to
the right action.
Once more / thank you for your kind and
1attering aeception.
MR.. JOHN W. wILLES.
This young gentleman, son of Charles L.
Willes, Esq, an old resident, was the next
speaker. IL the course of his speech. which
was throughout quite eloquent, he spoke of
the record of the Democratic party while in
power, as having filled every page of our
country's history with victory in war and
prosperity in peace; and said that the party
had fitly placed in nomination soldier who,
on every great battle field of the East, had
gloriously fought for the preservation of the
Union of the constitution. Four years ago,
he said, the country elected Tilden
and Hendricks and the Republican party
crowned its career of villainy with that
damnlng political wrong, the theft of the
chief offices of the United States. That
was party crime which should never be
condoned. 1t must never be repeated. In
conclusion Mr.. Willes congratulated his
hearers that the false issues on which the
Republican party las fought its campaie rs
were now forever obliterated and In the
nomination of the most gallant soldier of
the republic we had raised happy portents of
Democratic victory.
VIM L. KELLY, ESQ.
Upon being introduced Mr.. Kelly said:

He cOGJes from an undivided nation,
And its President will be.
Not from one section alone-but from all the
States, not from one battle field of the Repub-

but from victories of peace as well as war-the

He comes, the free choice of the Southern
people whose mad rebellion he did 30 much to
conquer. He comes, the free choice of mill
ions of freemen who clung through those dark
days to the Union of States 'Gnder a govern

national safety. He comes TO allay all sectional
hate and bind our bloody and broken banner

In ringing Saxon he proclaimed to the over
thrown South this second declaration of inde-
pendence:
In war it is indispensable to repel force by
force, and overthrow aud destroy opposition to
lawful authority. Bat when insurrectionary
force has been overthrown and peace estab-
lished, and the civil authorities ready and
willing to perform their duties, the military
power should cease TO lead. and the civil ad-
ministration resume its natural and rightful
dominion. Solemnly impressed with these
views, the general announces that the great
principles of American liberty are still the law
full inheritance of this people, and ever should
be. The right of trial by jury, the hsbeas
corpus, the liberty of the press, the freedom
of speech, the natural rights of persons and
the rights of property must be preserved.
Free institutions while they are essential
to the prosperity and happiness of the people,
always furnish the strongest inducements to
peace aud order < While the general
thus indicates his purpose to respect the liber-
ties of the people, he wishes all to understand
that armed incursions or forcible resistance to
the law will be instantly suppressed by arms.
