Mr.. resident and gentlemen Of the conven-

felt that what YOU askei could not involve any
tndsiicacy. and as IL offered me the only oppor-
tunity shall have 10 look In tho faces Of my
Indiana Republican friends here asscmb ed,
could not find 1t in my power TO deny myself tire
pleasure OF spending moment in your presence.
This thusiastic and Kindly reception crowns u
long serl Of friendly acts on tho part OF my
Republican frionds OF Indiana To have your
confidence is very grateful 10 me- 10 be worthy
of your confidence is the highest ambition
can set efore me. Whatever may befall
me, my fellow-citizens of Indiana have
crowned me and made me forever their debtor.
Bat must not detain you from the business
which has brought YOU here. such an assem-
blage as this is charao eristic OF America What
you shall do to-day will influence the prosperity
and welfare OF the State. Such u meeting is a
notable historical event. We have to-day tran
spring In this country two other events that are
attracting wide interest. AT tho chief seaport
OF our COuntf " that great heluDlcnn ana 1naL
great American James q. Blaine, returns 70 his
home. We sha not be disappointed, hope,
IN hearing his powerful voice in Indiana be-
fore tho campaign III old. Another sccne
attracts our soemn and TO rfui Interest," for
while you transacting your business hero to-
day a uraped train is bearing from the place OF
his sojourn by the soa 10 tho placs Of his inter-
nleit ut Washington the mortal part OF Philip
II. Sher dan. From the convention at Chicago
we sent him our greetings and earnest prayers
for his restoration; to-day we mourn our hero
dead. You called him ihen favorite child OF
victory, and such he was. He was one of those
great commanders who upon the field of battle
lowered very god OF war. He was ono OF the
earnest fighters for his country who did not. at
tho end of his first days night, contemplate
rest and recuperation, for his own conf
mand. He rested and refreshed his COM
tnand with tho wine Of victory, and found re-
cuperation in the dispersion of the enemy who
confronted him. This gallant son of Ireland and
America has written n chapter in the art OF war
that will not fail TO instruct and develop when
the exigencies may come agan-others shall re-
peat, ia defense OF ourfag, his glorious achieve
ments. And now, Mr.. President and gentlemen,
i am sure that the heat Of this hall and the
1abors that are be ore you suggest TO you. as
they 90 to me- that shall close these reIharks
and bid you good-by.

Crimes against an equal ballot and equal
