anti-Blaine men from Missouri and Michigan
upon the advisablility of bringing out Gen

the nomination. 1t was urged that he
would not, and 10 settle all doubts John b.

communication from the Committee on Gre

business the committee would not be ready
TO make its final and full report before
Thursday morning. On the request of Mr..
Curtis. Of New York, petition from the
American Peace Union was referred to the
Committee on Resolutions.
After the Veterans.
Mr. Matthew, Of Illinois, made a pretty
bid for the soldier vote in the shape OF
resolution 10 furnish 500 tickets Of admis-
sion to the veterans, who may desire to wit
ness the proceedings. The unanimous con-
sent Of the CO INVENTION was asked TO adopt and
pass the resolution. Discussion sprang up the
principal objection to the resolution being
the lack of seats, it claimed that tickets for
every seat had been issued by the commit

standing the issue Of tickets equal in num-
Ter 10 seats. yet there was no time in the

HENDERSON'S SPEECH.
The Key Note of the Convention Sounded
by Mr.. Henderson.

The Hey Note of the Convention sounded
by Mr.. Henderson.
Being introduced to the convention Mr.
Henderson, the Permanent Chairman,
spoke as follows:
Gentlemen of the convention: We have
assembled to survey the past history Of the
party; to rejoice as well We may, because Of
the good it has done; to correct its errors, if
errors there be; to discover, if possible, the
wants of the present and with patriotic
frmness to provide for the future Our
past history is the Union preserved, slavery
abolished and its former victims equally and
honorably by our sides in this convention.
The public faith maintained, unblemishei
credit at home and abroad, a currency con.
vertablc into coin and the pulses of industry
throbbing with renewed health and vigor in
every section Of prosperous and peaceful
country. There are the fruits of triumphs
over adverse policies gained in the military
and civil conflicts Of the past twenty-four
wears. Out Of these conflicts has come a
race of heroes and statesmen, challenging
confidence and love at home and respect
and admiration abroad And now when
we come TO elect standard bearer for the
approaching conflict our chief embarraSs-
ment is not in the want but in the abun-
dance of Presidential material New York
has her
True and Tried Statesman
upon whose administration the fierce and
even unfriendly light of public scrutiny has
been turned, and the universal verdict is,
We'll done, thou good and faithful servant
Vermont has her great statesman, whose
mind is as clear as the crystal springs OF
his native State, and whose virture is as
pure as its granite hills. Ohio can come
with q name whose history is the history Of
the Republican party itself Illinois can
come with one who never failed in the dis
charge of public duty, whether in the coun-
Gil chamber or on the field Of battle. Maine
has her honOred favorite, whose splendid
abilities and personsl qualities have en-
deared him in the hearts of his friends, and
the brilliancy Of whose genius challenges
the admiration Of all. Connecticut and
Indiana may come with names scarcely less
llustrious than these. And now in conclu
sion. if because Of personal disagreements
or the emergencies of the occasion, another
name is sought there yet remains tha, grand
old hero Of
Kenesau Mountain
ard Atlanta. When patriotism calls he
cannot !. he would be silent, bot graSpiRg
that banner to him so dear which he has
already borne in triumph, he viii march to
a civic victory no less rsnowned than those
of war. thank yog, gentlemen, for this
distinguished mark of your confidence.
