Gentlemen of the Conventions: We have hs-

done; to correct the errors there be; to dig Gov
er If possible the wants Of the present and with
patriotic tirmness to provide for the future

! The public faith is maintained We have I'M
bounded credit at home and abroad, currency

throbbing with renewed health and .vigor in
every section of a prosperous and peace
fruits ru 'o OF triumph n7S0 over are s ad2

conflicts of the last twenty-fo years. Out of
these conflicts has come a race Of heroes and
statesmen challenging confidence and love at
home and respect and admiration abroad; and
now, when we came to select standard bearer
for the approaching conflict, our chief embar-
BASEMENT is not in the want but in the abund-
ance of presidential material. New York has
her true and tried statesman, upon whose adj
ministration and fierce and even unfriendly
light of public scrutiny has been turned, and
the universal verdict is, s'Well done, thou good
and faithful servant"
VERMONT HAS HER GREAT STATESMAN
whose mind is as clear as the crystal springs of
his native state, and whose virtue is as firm as
Its granite hills. Ohio can come with name
whose history is the history of the Republican
party itself. Illinois can come with one who
never failed in the discharge of public duty,
whether in the council chamber or on the field
Of battle Maine has her honored favorite,
whose splendid abilities and personal qualities
have endeared him to the hearts of his friends,
and the brilliancy Of whose genius challenges
the admiration Of all. Connecticut and Indiana
may come to us with names scarcely less il
