Gentlemen of the Committee: did not
seek, nor did expect this distinguished honor
I accept your action, not as compliment to
myself personally, but as a recognition of our
the compliment is appreciated and thank you
forit In accepting the important position
have many misgivings as to my ability to
perform the duties involved satisfactorily,
and only do so with the understanding that
other members of the committee will not
only assist but give me the full benefit of their
superior experience, judgment and
1t is my good fortune to have known MI.
Blaine intimately for over thirty years. 1 have
watched his career during that time with un-
usual interest, aud have never known any one
to be actuated by Purer motives or governed
by a higher standard of morals. His lofty
patriotism and splendid abilities are recognized
and acknowledged everywhere. He is always
on the American side of every question. These
virtues and these accomplishments account for
his wonderful magnetism and for his ne rness
to the hearts of the American people. I have
not the honor of personal acquaintance with
General Logan, but who in this broad land does
not know his magnificent record as soldier,
and grand career as q statesman. The demo-
cratic party party must be held to its record on
free trade and tariff for revenue onlv. Too
many yet live who remember the languishment
of trade scant employment and poor wages; the
burning OF corn in the west for fuel because there
was no other use for it; under democratic
domination to vote for the party which threat
ems the return of that condition of affairs. The
working classes especially, ask, claim and de-
mand that they shall continue to have an op'
portunity to earn such wages as will enable
them to live rs American citizens should live
With such candidates and such principles as are
set forth in our platform success is assured and
victory will be ours as sure as the sun will bless
us with light.
