Storrs for n speech. MIR. Storrs took
the platform and responded rs follows;
M Chairman and Gentlemen: under
stand perfectly well that this is no occasion
for spccch.maklng. ] understand perfectly
well that q. gront. work has Just been com.
gagged in IL nro anxious to retire from tho
nrduous duties which they have boon per.
forming. Tho time has come, however. whom
i Is worth while to have II underst9od that @
convention ceased tho worry Instant that the
convention had acted, and that, from this
time forward, thcre are no Lognn mon, nor
mon; thorc arc nothing but Republicans, i'm
spired with unanimous conviction that tho
ticket here placed In nomination must sue
am not a worshippcr of the rising sun. |
am rarely worshippcr Of tho risen sun, but
this convention has demonstrated ono great
lesson: That tho Rcpublican party, calling n
convention directly from tho ranks OF tho
people, VIII nominate somebody's FIRST choice
rs II candidate for President. tApplnuscl
That they have this day done, IIo was not my
FIRST choice, but hc was the first choice of II
great majority of tho Republicans of tho
country, ,tApplauscl I how TO that first
dom of the "romnnnt." u,nughterl I don't
believe IN the superiority of tho minority. |
believe thst everybody knows moro than any
Republican party of tho Nation havo moro
political sense, sagacity, and Judgment than
any minority that can be located anywhere
under tho fnco OF tho shining sun. lChoors.j
THE coLoREp VOTE.
IL has demonstrated another thing: That,
with the load OF opprobriliu that has been
rolled upon the colorcd Republican voter of
tho South, ho is stcadfast, ,npurchasnblc and
another thing; That for the first time in tho
history of our Nation this great Republican
party has placed Mt tho head OF tho great Ma
tional Convention II man who twcnty-fi yc
years ago wns n chattel, but is to-day ono of
Its most distinguished and honorod citizens.
1t has demonstrated It's integrity In the inter
est and purposes OF good government by Il
platform which has declared In favor of every
principle and policy that has characterized
the party from its first glorious organization
down to to-day. II has demonstrated that the
affection which the rank and file entertain for
u distinguished individual member of tho
pnrty lives and survives all kinds of slandor
and years OF dctraction, nnd that IL will ut last
elevate It's ideal to the highest and most com
manding place In its councils. LApplauso.
Tho result will demonstrate this, that tho
party is itself faithful.
CHESTER A. ARTHUR.
The result has also demonstrated this, md
VIII demonstrate II, that while those who fl.
vorcd the nomination of that distinguished
citizen, that great Official, the purity of whose
life, the clcan ness of whose Administration.
and the wisdom of whose policy have made
Republican success probability, they will
follow the dccorous and the patriotic course
of their leader, and give to this nomination
their cordial hearty, unfaltcrlng, nnhesitat-
ing and unquestioning support. applause
This proves the worth of character; tor
when Chester A. Arthur, while. the cheers
were waking the echoes here, declared throb.
bling across the wires. that the nomination OF
james q. Blaine would meet his unqualified
support, tho truthfulncss of the man left nc
room for question or for doubt; and 10000, ,OoC
of people know that the promise viii bo kept
rclgiously and completely in its fullest and
amplcst measure. (Applansc.) There is no
friend of General Arthur who will not give
this nomination all the support that he would
have given to. his leader. Men. have come
here, citizcns of a great state and represent-
ing great Statesman.
No man could have voted for George f. Ed
of personal self-rcspcct, and no man could
have spoken for him who would not have felt
is no follower of George L. Edmunds who
Will not give to James G.. Blaine the same
hearty. unquestoning support that the
original supporters of James q. Blaine will
accord TO him.
JOHN a. LOGAN.
1t is unnecessary to say that that great civil.
ian soldier, Il man who came from the ranks of
private life and has illuminated our history
by the most distinguished military achieve
monts OF any man recorded in its annals
John A. Lognn-it requires no word from me
to say that day and night in season and out
OF season, his supporters are for this ticket
and ali of 1t. The time for waving of hand
kerchicfs is past. The time for efulgent en-
thusasm has gone by The time for the solid
serious, solemn work of this campaign begini
tomorrow.
