GENTLEMEN OF THE COMNiITrEE: L
did not seek, nor did | expect this dis
tinguished honor. | accept your action,
not as compliment to myself person.
ally. but as a recognition OF our great
business interests. beg TO assure you
the commitment is appreciated, and l
thank YOU for it. In accepting the i'm
portant position | have many misgiv-
ings as to my ability to perform the
duties involved satisfactorily; only do
so with the understanding that the
other members of the committee Will
| nOS only assist, but give me the tull
| benefit of their superior experience,
| Judgment, and~eenergy in conducting
! the campaign. 1t is my good fortune
to have known Nh. Blaine Intimately
over thirty years. | have watched MS
career during that time with unusual
interest. and | have never known any
one to be actuated by purer motives OF
governed by higher standard OF NOR,
ais. His lofty patriotism and splendid
| abilities are recognized and acknoWl-
| edged everywhere. lie is always on
the American side Of every question:
These virtues and these accomplish
mentS account for his wonderful mag
netism and for his nearnesS to the
hearts of the American people. L nave
not the honor OF a personal acqualnt-
ance with General Logan, but who in
this broad land does not know his mag
nificent record as a soldier and his
GRAND career as statesman. The
Democratic party must be held to Its
record of free trade and tariff for reVe'
nue. only. Too many yet live who re-
member the languishing trade, scan1
EMPLOYMENT, and poor WageS-the
burning of corn in the West for fuel
because there was no use for 1t under
democratic domination to vote for the
party which threatens a return OF tha'
condition of affairs. The working
class especially ask, claim and demand
that they shall continue to have the
opportunity to earn such wages as VII
enable them to live as American citi
zens should live. With such candidates
and such principles as are set forth II
our platform, success Is assured, VIC
tory will be ours in November as sure
" as the sun will bless us with 1t:
light.
