Henderson called the vast audience to or
der and announced that under the rules the
next order of business was the presentation
of presidential candidates. Mr.. butcher
OF New York, asked unanimous consent to
offer a resolution to distribute five hundred
tickets Of admission TO veteran soldiers and
sailors, TO be distributed through the chair
men of the various State delegations. Mr..
Howe, of Nebraska, seconded the notion
and it was carried.
Calling the Roll.
After some desultory discussion the chair
man directed the secretary to call the roll.
TIE secretary then proceeded to call the
roll of States, calling Alabama, Arkansas,
California, Colorado and Connecticut
When the name of the latter State was
called, Mr. Brnndige of Connecticut, arose
and took the stage amid loud applause.
Nominating Hawley.
Mr. Brundige spoke as follows Mr.,
President and Gentlemen of the Convcn-
ton: We are here to select Chief Magist-
rate for thirty eight States and ifty-fve
millions of people. If we choose wisely
the selection of Juno will be the election
of November and March will inaugurate
in lineal and continuous succession the
seventh Republican President Of the United
States Applause. II we be welded to
a fatal choice. the Solid South, which has
already captured the Capitol will occupy
the White House and the results of the war
will be rolled backward a generation.
The accredited Republicans from
every State and all the Territories represent
partyto the wisdom and patriotism of who's
great liberality, human liberty and human
progress We owe more than TO any political
organization since the Government was
instituted among men To it impartial his
tory will accord q Union saved, n COnstltu-
ton maintained and re-cnthused with
larger spirit of liberty, race emancipated,
eniranchiscd and rcgenerated. With such
a proud history in the past and such high
hopes for the future we stand pledged, sir,
not to make shipwreck Of an organization
in which the interests and honor of our coun:
try are still wrapped up. Never before to n
National Convention was such an opportu-
nity presented or the path of duty made SO
plain. The great tidal wave has ebbed; it
has left wrecks along the shore and dis
closed only the fats and the shadows. The
councils Of our opponents are confused.
They have been smitten again with Judicial
blindness. The heart of the great Ameri-
can people instinctiYely and Enthusiastically
turns once more to the Republican party.
The supreme duty of the hour is for that
party in this convention 10 select a candl-
date under whom we can surely ard grandiy
win. [appausr Such candida
must first Of all be true
and -, tried Republican whose name
alone shall stand for a platform, one
who has the courage Of his conviction, one
whose convictions on all great questions
have been always right Right on the war
right on construction, right on each and
every one of the constitutional Amendments
Right on Re-umption,
right on the currency, right on the tariff
right on civil rights, and right on Civil Ser
vice Reform Applause, Standing sir.
in this great pre- ence, in this historic haIf
inspired by the memory Of the great leaders
and MARTYRS Of our faith, who look down as
With bencdiction upon this scene, impressed
with a profound conviction Of the import
aEce of the trust with which stand charged
I am requested TO nominate such a candi-
date 10 the brethren of other States by the
Republicans Of Connecticut, and in their
name and on their behalf

the largest degree represents the fitness and
the availability of the candidate, whose

which are as endearing as Coaaecticat I
