might be- The Republican party orig~
mated in the determination of slavery
ard grew during the great events of its

height it occupies tO>day. The candi-
date should represent the life and char

sent the name of a man of integrity, of
honesty, and of experience in public af-
fairs, and he would present as such
candidate the name of Gen. John Beat

to. He was loved and honOred both at
home and abroad. His splendid fight of
two years ago and his statesmanlike
speeches during that campaign free from
blunders, were mentioned by the speaker |
as reasons for his nomination.
Walter S. Thomas, of Delaware, Sec
unded the nomination of Foraker. He
said that two years ago the Republicans
