THE NOMINEES SPEECH.
Mr.. President, Fellow Republicans,
Gentleman: confess that this is an occa.
sion Of great embarrassment have no
speech prepared appropriate to deliver in
accepting at your hands the nomination
which you have conferred. The governor
Of this Territory, in my town, has news.
paper which has been violently ges,icu.
lasing and tearing It's hair in its deep solici.
tude for the welfare Of the republican, party
and the action that it should take this
day. Not doubling its sincerity, have
read in its columns of the friends that have
fallen away from me, Of the in6delities Of

for twerty.three years should come over
here and with whatsoever OF will, Of voice,
OF corliality, he could command, should
second the nomination which YOU should
