REMARKS OF THE NOMINEE.
MIR. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Conven-
ton: l am gratifed for this expression Of
your confidence, and accept the distinction,
promising my most earnest efforts that sue
cessful results may follow yonr action. l
have not sought tae position, having been IN
no sense q candid ,te. Hence it is doubly ac-
TEEN and confidence. The gentle
man who Is the present representative OF
this district and now canvassing for re-elec-
ton, stated in his published address the
grounds upon which he appeals for the suf
frages of the people, that the old Democratic
party is diloyal as an organization. Can it DE
said that the party who selected for its
Geo. B. Mcclellan, and in 1868 the statesman
Horatio Seymour, who did more with his great
opportunities as governor of the
empire State to sustain the ma
tional government than any other governor
could not do, and in 1872 the sage Ind patriot,
Horace Greely, and in 1850 patriot, statesman
and hero, General Hancock, is disloyal. Mr..
Dunnell says that the Democratic party is in
favor of States rights while he, as he intimates,
is in favcr of that new radical issue of new
birth, curtailing the rights of States and aug
menting the power of the general government,
the making of a
STRONG GOVERNMENT.
We shall invite him in the canvass to define
wherein he will curtail State rights and add
to the national governments. Whether he will
have the majority controlled as he represents,
by rebel brigadiers fix the limit of our State
tax leyies, control our educational in.
terests, or what particular powers he
will delegate. The people will be interested in
h<11x, fox &lax, ha ,,al
by this new notion. We shall ask him to de-
fine more particularly what great governmental
measures he has instituted, originated and
procured for the interests of his commitments.
Whether in
HIS ACTION UPON OUR TARIFF LAWS
he has observed the interests of our Western
farmers, or whether he has favored measures
that has extracted from their earnings six dol
lars for the manufacture of revenue. Whether
he represented their interests in appropriating
the proceeds of that crime against the people,
THE SALARY GRAB.
Whether he voted for that iniquitous Credit
Mobilier measure, subjecting the credit of the
government to those of the Mobilier corpora
tions. And, if so, Why he did not take his pay
for his work as did MIR. Garfield.
Gentlemen, shall take pleasure in meeting
you during the canvass ut your homes and unit
ing my efforts with yours in securing an hon.
orable victory. Again l thank you for the
honor conferred.
