Now, my frieuds, have presented
substantially the considerations
which govern ne in proposing tn,
action which | intend 10 follow.
We have in every case cir &c the
Republican party WAS formed, done
one OF two things. We have, whe n
our esident has finished hi term,
recommended him, except in the
case OF MIR. Hayes, who refused
denomination. daughter. We
gave him second term. We re-
fused to give Gen. Grant, much as
we regarded him, q third term.
These are traditions of the party, a
common understanding, and In or.
der to show that give the common
understandings OF the party, 1 have
Dut to quote a letter from the most
distinguished statesman in the
northeasterly portion of this Union,
written on the 10Th OF December,
1880, in view of the incoming ad-
ministration of Garfield, in which
he says: "Speaking of the admin
istration. not at all directing its
energies for recollection, but com,
polling the result by the logic Of
events and imperioua necessities Of
the situation" So said that great
statesman, so has said every man, so
says the community and so will say
the voters, and God grant that this
convention may adopt such course
as to conciliste the solid, anxious
men OF the Republican party that
victory in November, so important
to the we'll being of this country,
may again perch itself for twenty
years upon the Republican banner.

by bingham, Of Pennsylvania;
Lynch &c. lored) of Mississippi;
Winston, Of Nortn Car lima; Pinch
back (colored) Louisian".
The State OF Ohio being reach ed
in the call, Judge Foraker step ed
to the platform to put in nomina-
ton John Sherman. He said he
would speak bu' few plain
words; for plain but very great
and grand man. (Cheers). Ohio
was Republican State and would
cast her vote for the nominee of
this convention, but she claimed
nothing on that account. He was
not here to ask anything for Ohio as
candidate precedent. Ohio had
been always ready to follow the
chosen leader of the party and never
was more ready than che was 90
lay. If she was proud of the names
CT Grant and Sherman and Hayes
and Garfield, it was only because of
their lllustrious services to the
whole country. The name which
he was about TO pres ent to the COLI
vsntion was "as familiar as house.
hold word" 1t was the name of a
man who had been the acknow-
lodged leader Of the Republican
party for the last thirty years. The
failure to resume specie payments
in 1879 would have been almost as
fatal to the country as the loss of
the battle of Gettysburg, and it was
to the man whose name he proposed
to present, that the country was
most indebted for the re-
sumption OF specie PAYMENT.
The people of the country know and
appreciate that fact, and had a pro-
foundly grateful recollection Of the
service then rendered, No man had
greater admiration than he himself
had for the bril- liant genius of the
gentleman from Name. cat this

and as such mapshave nominated
John Sherman, of Ohio. (Cheers).
Holt, of Kentucky, seconded Mr..
Sherman's nomination. He was
man whose name had been written
as that of a master of the legisla-
ton of the country. During 8 quar-
ter of century his name had been
exposed to the blaze OF public opin.
