New York has her true and tried St1tes
man, upon whose administration the Il rec
atid uneven unfriendly light of public
rrntiny has been turned upon him, and the
universal verdict is, "Woll done, thou good
aud faithful servant"
Vermont has her great statesman, Whose
nin.l is as clear as the crystal springs OF his
granite hills.
Ohio can come with a name whose history
is tte history of the Republican party itself.
Illinois can come with one who never
failed in the discharge of public duty,
whether in council chamber or on the field of
battle.
Maine has her honored favorite, whose
splendid abilities and personal qualities have
endeared him to the hearts of his friends,
and the brilliancy of whose genius chal-
enges the admiration of ALL Connecticut
and Indiana may CONS with names scarcely
less illustrions than these; and now, in CON
custom, if because of personal dis
agreements, or the emergencies of the
occasion, another name is sought, there yet
remains that grand old hero of Kenesaw
Mountain and Atlanta. When patriotism
calls, he can not, if he would, be silent, but,
&rasplng that banner, to him so dear which
iie has already borne in triumph, he will
march to civic victory no less renowned
han those of war.
thank YOU. gentleman, for this distin-
.4ish d mark of your confidence.
