When the convention re-assembleld In the
evening the President announced that accord
ing to the order OF business just adopted, the
presentation of candidates for president would
ut once proceed. The roll call OF states was
commenced and proceeded without response
until Connecticut was reached, when Mr..
Brandegee arose and presented the name OF
Gen. Hawley. After passing In review the
events in the life OF the man, recounting his
deeds Of valor and the work he had done for
the grand old party, Mr.. Brandegee said;
Mr.. President, II this man is nominated 1t
will be the humiliation of no other candidate.
There will be nothing to be forgiven nor for
gotten; nothing 10 be unsaid or taken back
His nomination will be like passing an act OF
oblivion over the dreadful dissensions In other
states which have brought his party to the
gateway of the grave. IL he Is nominated all
the elements can support him, for he is a radl-
cal conservative and a conservative radical
daughter andapplause. Afriend of Garfield
and friend OF Grant. Applause. Sir, II be
should be nominated tonight his campaign
would commence tonight and continue unit
victory is assured. Cheers. There would
be no powder 20 tire into the back OF the lead
ers II II only be exploded TO illuminate the IN
auguration. The bronze throats of cannon II
yonder square, waiting TO herald the result oil
this convention, would not have time 10 COO
before his name would be caught up on ter
thousand tongues of electric flame. 1t woulC
sweep down from the old Pine-Tree State. II
would go over the hills and tie valleys OF New
England. IL would insure you Connection
by 1000 sjority. Applause. 1t would welt
together with fervent heat the dissensions II
New York. (A2plause.l 1t would blaz,
through the State Of Connecticut, more beau
tiful than is her mother. 1t would carry tn,
Southern States, for he is the only candidat,
that their party would have named who wa,
born Cd Southern soil. IL would please all par
ties and all professions, for he Is q lawyer, edi
tor, soldier, statesman and orator. IL woult
take the people, for he is what the people love
and God Almightv's noblest work, an homes
man. Applause.
Such a nomination would sweep from III,
storm beaten coast Of the Atlantic 10 III,
Golden Gate OF the peaceful sea. With him
elected In the vigor Of his life and the plenti
tude Of his powers, beloved at home and res
pected abroad, with our free institutions anC
our imperial domain, we should need no Bar
tholdi statute standing at the gateway OF com
merca with uplifted torch to tip the genius o
liberty enlightcpiug the world, but our historl
under a Republican President, administered
upon Republican policy, would of itself bea
witness to all times aud 70 all people that thi
Is the greatest treeest, most prosperous coun
try upon which the sun in his course has eve
looked down upoo. Cheers.
