cCpt your action, not as II compliment to
myself personally, but rs recognition

! assure YOU your compliment is apprc-
ciatcd, and | thank you for il. In ac-
ccpting the important position ! have
many misgivings us TO my
] ability To perform the duties
/ involved satisfactorily, and only dc
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 energy i'm conducting the campaign
/ 1t is my good fortune to have known Mr.
/ Blaine intimately for over thirty years
/ | have watched his career during that
| time with interest, and never have
. known amy one to he actuatcd by
purer motives or governed by higher
/ standard of morals. His splendid
abilities are recognized and arknowl-
! edged everywhere. lie * always on the
/ American side Of every question. These
virtues and these accomplishments aC-
! count for his wonderful magnetism and
1 for his ncarnCss to the hearts of tho
/ American people. | have not the honor
, of Il personal acquaintance with Gen
| Logan. but who is there in this broad
! land who docs not know his magnificent
record as II soldier and his grand
career rs Il statesman. The Democratic
! party must be held to its record on free
/ Trade and tariff for revenue only. Too
I many set live who remember the IAN
/ gushing trade, Scaut employment and
poor wages, and the burning of corn in
. the west for fuel because of no other use
/ for il under Democratic admniStra-
ton, to vote for Il party which threatens
Il return to that condition of affairs.
! Our people believe that reasonable
prosperous times are attainahlc in this
country. The working class, especially,
ask, claim and demand they shall con-
tinuc to have the opportunity to earn
such wages as will enable them TO live
rs American citizens should live. With
such candidates and such principles rs
are set forth in our platform, success is
assured, and victory will he ours in No
Ncmbcr rs surely as the sun Will bless
us with its light.
