GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTIONS: We have
assembled pc .o,s to survey the past history Of the
good it has done in the military and civil con.
dicts of the last twenty-four years. Out OF
these conflicts has come race of heroes and
statesmen, challenging confidence and love al
home, respect and admiration abroad. And
now, when we come to select. standard
bearer for the approaching conflict, our CHIEF
embarrassment is not in the want, but in
the abundance of presidential material. New
York has her true and tried statesman, upon
whose administration the fierce, even un-
friendly light of public scrutiny has been
turned, and the universal verdict is, "Well
done, thou good and faithful servant" Yer.
mont has her great statesman, whose mind is
as clear as the crystal springs of his native
state, ana whose virtue IS as firm as its granite
hills. Ohio can come with name whose his
tory is the history of the Republican party
itself. Illinois can come with one who never
er in council chamber or on the field OF
battle. Maine has an honored favorite
whose splendid abilities and per
sonal qualities have endeared him
to the hearts of his friends and the brilliancy
of whose genius challenges the admiration OF
names scarcely less iIlustrious than these, and
now, in conclusion, if because of personal
disagreements or the emergencies of the oc
that grand old hero of Kenesaw Mountain
and Atlanta. When patriotism calls he car
not, If he would, be silent, but, grasping that
banner to him SO dear, which he has already
borne in triumph, he will march to civil vic
tory no less renowned than those of war:
thank you, gentlemen, for this distinguished
mark of your confidence.
