best Of which we herewith present for
the study Of young America
We also present some of the short and
pithy addresses made in casting state votes
at other conventions. In the first Re-
publican national convention, held at
Philadelphia June II and Is. 1855 there
were some good speeches made on the
general issue, but the candidate was not
even formally put in nomination. and
nearly the same is true of the conventions
of 1860 and 1854 In 1868 Gen Grant
was really nominated in advance by spon-
taneous enthusiasm, yet he was not for
mally presented in the convention So
easily do we grow accustomed to that
which is that this omission would now
be thought an objectionable slight; yet it
is worth noting that the nomination in
1880 went to man who had not been
presented. and who had most eloquently
presented the name of Senator Sherman.
Although there were no nominating
speeches in 1868 and 1872. yet the chair
men of several state delegations embraced
the opportunity OF casting the vote to
give a few ''pithy remarks" the ''pith-
lest" of which we present. The general
rule was. however. for each state to sim
ply announce It's vote. and the first de-
partures therefrom were rather looked
upon as impertinences But now the
nominating address Is the great feature
of conventions opening work, and we
oil Like it.
