hereby .tnd0rse and reAf1rm the resolution
passed byJour state!conyention, held in this city
In 1875, upon this question.
Senator Kerr argued in favor of his reso.
luton. He thought Gen. Grant was the
proper and only man who should get the
nomination, and concluded his remarks with
m appeal TO all to support him.
Gen. Albright replied that he believed
Grant was sincere in his undertakings, and
had done great service. both civil and mil
|itary, but he did not think he was the only
man who could lead the republican party to
victory. He did not believe there was any
danger of the country in a third term, but
he believed Washburne, Sherman or Blaine
