tnester A. Arthur had Justly won the

good book and for DEPRESSION let me say
70 ysung gentlemen not members of the
convention who cried 30 loudly for nv
frlend ln2ersoli last night, that there is
a great deal more instructive and inter
ssiing reading IN that beck If they shall
have grace TO attend to il. Isaid people

more, SIR. In meeting an intelligent and
nrelsss enemy. The Democratic party
are watching for a breach In oar armor.
they have their lances at rest, they have
their spears pointed and whenever We
opsn our armor they ara ready to pierce
tne Republican party to the heart.
what Will they say! Oh, here what a
nice party you are. You have been
| prating ten years about the reform of
the ciyil setylce. you have been prating
ten ears about having a non factional
administration you have found one
yourselves as you say and vet for the
purpose OF taking up somebody else YOU
have struck down aud cast into oblivion
as far AS you have power the verv man
who has done the work you said you
could do and have spent ten years pre-

It wos't strengthen US. These men, our

the Republican party was formed done |
one of two things, where our President |
has finished his term, renominated him |
except In the case of Hayes who refused |
| the nomination laughter which we
| gave him for second term. We re- |
fused to give Grant. much Az we re-
gar led him, third term. These are |
| traditions of the party, its common |
understanding, and in order to show |
that l give the common understanding |
OF the party have bat to quote letter |
from a most distinguished statesman |
IN the northeasterly portion of the |
Union, written on the 10th of Deem |
Der, 1880. IN view of the incoming adj |
| ministratiOn of Garfield. in which he |
says, speaking of the administration, not |
at all directing its energies for re-elec- |
ton, but compelling the result by the |
| logic of events and imperlous necessi- |
| Ties OF the situation. So said that great |
| statesman, SO has said every man, so |
says the Convention, and SO will say the |
voters, and God grant that this Con- |
| vention may adopt such a course as to |
conciiiate SOLID, anxious men OF the Re |
pablican party that victory In Nsvem- |
Der, 81 important to the we'll being of |
thus country, may again perch itself |
for twenty four years on the Republi- |
can banner.
Arthur's nomination was seconded by |
Bingham, of Pennsylvania, Lynch, of |
Mississippi, Winston. of North Carroll |

The State of Ohio being reached |
in the call. Judge Foraker stepped to |
the platform to put la nomination |
John Sherman.
SHERMAN.
He said he would speak bat a few
plain words for a very great and grand |
man. Cheers rais was Republi- |
| can State and would cast her vote for |
the NOMINEES of this convention. but |
| abe claimed nothing on that account |
He WAS not here tn ask anything for |
this as a conditional precedent. Ohio |
had been always ready to follow the |
chosen leader of the party, and never |
| was more ready than she.was today. IL |
she was proud of Grant and Sher- |
| man and Chase and Hayes and Gar |
| field it was only because of ther illus |
| trious services to the whole country. |
The name which he was about to pre- |
sent To the convention was familiar as |
| a household word. 1t was the name of |
| q man who had been an Acknowledged |
leader of the Republican party for the |
last thirty years. The failure to re-
| sumo specie payment in 1879 would |
| have been almost AS fatal to the coun.
| try as the lost battle of Gettysburg, |
| and Is was to the man whose name he |
proposed to present that the country |
| was indebted for the resumption of |
specie payments. The people of this |
| country know and appreciate the fact, |
and are profoundly gratitied for the SER
vice then rendered. No man had great |
| er admiration than he had for the bril- |
| liant genius of the gentleman from
| Maine. At this allusion to Blaine
