Republicans Of this district, in convention assem-
bled for the honor Of being chosen their candl-

ssS
of your continued confidence in me, but poorly ex-
presses my feelings on this OCCASION. accept this
responsibilities of the position, and can only say
that if elected, will as in the past, always labor
for the best interest Of the district and to faithful
represent my constituents to sustain the princi.
pies and policy Of the great party OF which we nre
| members. 1t win DO my pride and pleasure in tho
| coming political contest to take my place under
the banner of our distinguished standard bearer.
| and to do all in my power to contribute to that
grand national victory which ia already assured to
| us. speak thus confidently because know that
THO American! people can never forget the services
in the preservation Of the UniOn the abolition of
| slavery, the reduction of the public debt, the
| tory basis, and the bringing about of the era Of
prosperity that We now enjoy. If more than this
was necessary to assure us Of success we certainly
have it in the commanding character and ability Of
| the distinguished statesman and soldier who has
boon chosen as our national leader, and whose Ia
bors in behalf of Republican principles have earned
| the Republican party. If we but do our duty in
tho contest cannot but succeed 1t is natural
| that in great party like ours, where nomination
is considered equivalent to election, there should
DO several names urged and advocated for the re-
spective nominations, and it is not surprising that
this should be done with considerable zeal and feel
! named as was the case at Chicago; but when tho
nominations are made the personal contest then
| ends, and devotion to the party and its principles
resumes its sWay and the gentleman selected %,
is only by the united efforts of the whole party,
that he can succeed, the successful candidate WILL
| as in duty bound, consider himself under obiga-
tons to all, whether they were original advocates
of his nomination or not.
The people demand an honest and economical adj
ministration Of the government. They are alive to
and afrhf, of 1unn cfOuc NJ
nomy, official honesty and integrity: That their
wishes in this respect will be accomplished through
not admit of doubt. And desire here to say, in
it's fullest and broadest sense, that it will always
DO my pleasure Gas it is my duty) to aid in placing
out their wishes. The great and pressing necessity
Of State, and the northwest. is that agricul
tural and manufacturing interests be properly en-
| cOuraged and improved.
These two great branches of our industry are so
| identical in interest, and dependent upon each
other, that it is impossible to injure one without
| seriously Gripping the other Any step that may
DO taken to foster improve our agricultural,
| manufacturing other industrial enterprises, will
| meot with my earnest cooperation and approval.
We owe much of the prosperity which tho country
enjoys to-day, ito the agrculturists of our land,
whose productions have bcen needed abroad, to
such an extent that it has caused large balance
| Of trade in our favor. The time has come when
the tariff should be modified to tighten the
burdens Of the masses Let us foster and protect
| the laboring classes by laws that arc just and
| equitable; and when we have done this we can say
we have accomplished something in favor of agri-
culture which is the true source OF national wealth
and prosperity.
The question of the power of congress to regulate
inter state commerce, and control the railroads en-
gagged therein has risen to that of national magni.
| tudc. Congress no doubt has power to regulate
| commerce between the States and the grasping
avarice of these corporations should lie controlled
and restrained by just and wise laws. which will
protect the people from cxtortiOn, and at the same
tim do injustice to the great corporate interests
OF the country.
No better solution of this great question trans
portation hah yet been presented to tho Northwest
than the improvement of the water routes, which
/ investigations and surveys have been shown cap.
able of being made practicable, and Of immense
value to us. We should encourage, by judicious
legislation, all attempts that appear feasible de-
measures as have this object in view should receive
such liberal appropriations from the general gov
ernmont as tho magnitude and Importance of the
subject demands. 1t ought to be needless to say
| that am in favor of only such legislation and
III anagement ofOur finances as will preserve to us
| what we have already gained, Il uniform standard
of values.
In conclusion allow me to say that believe it is
only through the fundamentally ofthe Republican
party that this great country OF ours can DO sue
Cessfllly governed, and these important measures
which have briefly referred to carried into effect,
and that it is therefore tho patriotic duty of every
Republican to labor for the success of these meas
ures by supporting those whom it has chosen to
carry them into effect
Ienter upon this campaign with perfect conf
denco as to the successful issues and entertaining
do the kndcst feeling for each and every one
ly rely upon the cordial and active support of each
and all. Again thank you for tho honor and CON-
pliment Of this nomination..
