appeared upon the platform and withdrew
his name, saying that the time had come
when the labors OF this Convention should
be brought toa close. The Claims or wishes
OF no individual should Interfere with the
accomplishment OF this end. lie had en-.
tered this race not because he had any
Claim upon the high honor he had
coveted, but because it seemed
A race open to all and an
honor,worthy OF anyman's winning. He
had conducted Ills canvass in such way
rs TO win the approval Of his own con-
science, il not TO win the support OF
number OF delegates to nominate
him. lie besought the convention to con.
sld!r no personal animosities, but to keep
in view the good Of the pnrty to whose
care was entrusted the futurc OF this
grand nation. It was . matter OF slight
moment who represented this district in
Congress,so thata man was nominated who
was fitted to carry forward TO glorious
victory the standard ofille grand old party.
Ills long services to the party entitled him
to the right to speak frankly. lie had al
ways done so, and hal been charged with
indiscfction often. He now urged, in the
last words probably he would ever speak

to nominate that. man whose skirts
were clear and whose cscutchcons were
