Mr.. President: By the unanimous instruc-
tions of the delegates from Alabama and by
permission of the delegates from the State of
Indiana. Alabama nominates William l.. En-
glish of Indiana. (Cheers.) We have had
glorious day to-day. The federal army and
the confederate army have met on Mason and
Dixon's line as one army. (Cheers.) Now there
is another principle that ought
| not to be forgotten. You have
had assurance from New York of the union of
the Democracy there. We have heard from
New Hampshire.
| Now gentlemen. aided by these fair women
from the North, from the East from the West
and from the South, who have sung here to-
| gether that grand old question:
''Shall friends all true be remembered not
La the days of auld lang syne?"
Where have we looked for true friends?
Where have we had true friends? Where do
we expect true friends? From the glorious
| State of Indiana.
Mr.. Voorhees,, in seconding the nomination
of Mr. English, said: Mr.. Presidential single
| the second place upon this ticket, but is deeply
grateful. Penetrated by sense of gratitude
| for the spontaneous expression of confidence in
| one of her absent and most distinguished citi-
zens, MIR. English, would say to the conven-
tion, that Indiana has not had her place upon
the Presidential ticket, but if Mr.. English is
| placed upon that ticket, there will be placed
there a native of that State of commanding
capacity for affairs both public and private,
| and a man that was never defeated when his
name was presented before the people for any
position. Nor will he be defeated now. ZAP
| plause and cheers.) thank the States for the
offer of this high position to him, and on the
part of the delegation from Indiana, ask to

distinguished son. (Applause.)
