The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1884-06-09

the chosen leader OF the party, ana sne was I
never more so than at the present time. To |
day, as in the past, her highest ambition is
tbat with her October election she |
may worthily and VIGOROUSLY lead the Re |
publican column. Loud applause.l If, there |
fore, it be true that in the past she has en- |
loved distinguished favor she humbly hopes i
it had been no more than Just recognition |
accorded by her generous sister states And if |
she is proud of the names of Grant and Sher- |
man ani Sheli Tan and Mcpherson and Chase |
and Stanton and Hayes and Garfield, it is
only because, for their llustrious services to
the whole people. the whole people are proud |
of them also. [Applause.l And if for thse
distinguished men Ohio first claimed national
consideration and honor, it was not because
they were her sons, but only because the bet
ter knowing their WORTH she put them for
ward for the common good. She has had
no selfish purpose 10 subserve. She
has none such too-day. She fully
reco- niZes and appreciates tie fact that
what is best for the whole Republican party
is best also for her Moved by no other feel
ing, she has a name to place before this con-
venuon. Il is the name OF & lnan who has
been an Acknowledged leader of tie Rapub-
lican party Tor the ,iast thirty years. He is
identified with every triumph of cur most
wonderful career. He stood at the fore front
iG our struggle against slavery. he was a
very pillar OF strength to the government in
its death struggle With secession. His per-
soma impress Is upon every line of recon-
structiOn, and when cur national integrity
had been preserved ly the yalor Of our sol
diars in tie field, and there came that wild
and senseless mania Of initiation that threat
euei 10 sweep the country and tarnish the
national honor, it was his luck to stand in
the breach as no other man stood. Jap
plause. save only the war that was
THE GREATEST DANGER
