| us in the fight we have made for the Senator from Maine and speaking as I know do for
 them, I say this most heartily: We have not the man we came to nominate, but we have a
 man in whom we have the most profound
 faith and confidence. (Applause.) The nominee of this convention is no new or un. tried man, and in that respect is no dark
 horse. (Applause.) When he came here rep resenting his State and was seen here every man knew him and knew his record, and because
 of that and of our faith in him we have in
 the emergency attempted to help make him
 the candidate of the Republican party for
 President of the United States. Because of
 these things I stand here and pledge Maine to
 give him the most earnest support from now
 until the ides of November.
 General Logan said: ''We are to be con-
 graduated. We have arrived at a conclusion
 in reference to presenting the name of the
 candidate and standard-bearer of the Repub- iican party for President of the United States. In union and harmony there is
 strength. Whatever may have transpired in this convention to hurt the feelings of any one hope that in our conclusion it will pass from our minds. I say with the friends
 of the grandest man that ever graced the face of the earth, that we stood here to fight friendly battle in favor of his nomi- nation. But, sir, this convention has chosen another leader, and we will go forward in the 1 contest to come with no thought but to speak
 
 was organized in this country to maintain its power and to assert it's ascendency. And, l sir, with the leader this convention has select ed it is my judgment that victory will perch on our banners. (Applause.) I, sir, as one of the representatives of the State of Illinois, second the motion that the nomination of General James A. Garfield be made unani- | nous.
