conduct the permanent chairman ~ ~
tne p'atlorm. Gen. Henderson was
received with cheers and made the
following speech:
\ Gentlemen of the convention: We
nave assembled to survey the past
history of the party; to rejoice as we
may because of the good it has done:
70 detect its errors, II errors there be-:
10 discover If possible the wants of
the present, and with patriotic firm
ness provide for the future. Our past
history is the Union preserved, slsv-
cry abolished and it's former victims
equally and honorably by our sides
in this convention: the public faith
maintained; unbounded credit at
home and abroad: q currency con-
vertible into coin, with the pulses of
industry thrObbing with renewed
health ana vigor in every section of q
prosperous and peaceful country.
These are the fruits of the triump6s
over the adverse politics gained in the
military conflicts of the last twenty
four years. Out of these conflicts has
come a race of heroes and statesmen
challenging confidence and love at
home. respect and admiration abroad:
and now when we come to select q
standard bearer for the approaching
conflict our chief embarrassment is
not in the want but in the abundance
Of presidential material. New York
has her true and tried statesman.
Upon whose administration the fierce
light OF public scrutiny has been
turned and the universal verdict is
"We!l 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 virtue il as firm as
the granite hills. Ohio can come
with q name whose history is Of the
Republican party itself. Illinois can
come with one who never failed in
the discharge of public duty, whether
in the council chamber or on the
field of battle. Maine has her hon.
ored favorite, whose splendid
abilities and personal qualities have
endeared him to the hearts of friends
and the b1illiancy of whose genius
challenges the admiration of all.
Connecticut and Indiana may come
with names scarcely less illustrious
than these, and now in conclusion, if
because of personal disagreements or
the emergencies of the occasion
another name is sought, there re-
mains that grand old hero of Kene-
saw Mountain, and Atlanta. When |
patriotism calls he cannot if he
would be silent, but grssping that
banner to him so dear, which he has |
already borne in triumph, he will !!
march to a civic victory no less re-
nowned than those of war. thank !
you, gentlemen, for this dis
tin9uished mark of your confidence.
The illusions to Arthur, Sherman.
Edmunds and Logan were heartily |
but when Blaine was al |
Iuded to as a imam whose splendid |
abilities and personal qualities had
endeared him to the hearts Of his |
f,iends and whose brilliancy chal-
lenged the admiration of mankind"
u storm of applause broke out, and on
the stage, the floor and the galleries
men stood up al d waved their hats
and handkerchiefs, and cheere again
and again. The women also took part |
in the demonstration and waved their |
fans and handkerchiefs. After the
first storm of applause had worn itself |
out it was renewed once again, |
and the enthusiasm was as marked |
and intense as that which character |
ized the convention of 1880, at the |
time of Garfield's nomination. It !
was fully five minutes before the !
chairman was able t. resume and |
finish his speech.
SteDbins, of Arizona, presented q
resolution to the effect that the ap-
pointment of Territorial officers by
the President of the United States
should oe from actual residents of
such Territories. Referred to the
on resolutions.
A delegate from Colorado presented
a resolution to the effect that the
of agriculture be made
q cabinet officer. Referred to the
on resolutions.
