We are here, gentlemen,in friendly rlv-
airy to nominate not only good
candidates for the presidency and
vice presidency of the United States:
but to nominate the next president and
vice president of the United States.
We are here, so far as I know, with no
acrimonious feelings, with no word of
unkindness toward any of the distin-
guished men whose names Will be pre-

A SPIRIT OF HARMONY.
Of good feeling and of determination to
carry the banner of the Republican
party to glorious victory in November
next. Gentlemen, the little state which

shire has no favorite son to present to
this convention. True, New lamp
shire has score of men who, IN point
of public experience, in point OF culture
and strength that education gives,
would make infinitely better president
than the man who occupies the eXecu-
tive chair to-day. New hampshire is
content to let her

She recalls before this magnificent
presence the fact that she gave to this
nation of ours Levi Woodbury., John
Stark, Daniel Webster, Salmon P.
Chase, Horace Greedy, John T.. Hale,
William Pitt Fessenden, John A. Dix,
Nathaniel Baker and Zachariah Chand-
Ter, and although, gentlemen, Massa-
chusetts claimed in his latter years the
peerless Webster as her own son,
although the great state of Ohio
took to her arms the magnificent
secretary of the treasury, native
of New Hampshire, 5. T. Chase,
although New York claimed Horace
Greeley; although Iowa did honor TO
Baker, of illuStriOuS memory, ana al.

Michigan claimed that magnificent man

the Republican party the seep-
ter of power that for four
wears has been usurped by the hypOcrit-
ical and mock civil service reform Dem
ocratic party, that has been masquerade
ing before the people of this country
under false pretenses. l ask you this,
fellow citizens, and l promise you in
response the votes of the doubtful states
of New England, clasping hands with
the doubtful state of Indiana, and tri-
umphal victory when the verdict is
rendered in November, will rally to the
polls to help elect that man president
of the United States. But, gentlemen,
New Hampshire is a close and doubtful
state. The vote of the little state stands
TREMBLING IN THE BALANCE
to-day with the whole power OF the fed
eral administration and with the whole
power of the patronage of that admins
tration used against the Republican
party in that state, and its margin Is so
small that it can scarcely be estimated.
With two United States senators to be
elected by the legislature that is to be
elected in November, you must not
wonder that / stand here to-day and say
to you that it is your duty, so far as that
little state of mine is concerned, to
give to the country the strongest
man that can possibly be presented
for the suffrages of people. just one
word more: Projecting myself into the

grand man that Indiana has presented;

Gen. BENJAMIN Harrison, of Indiana.
We promise to the Republican party OF
this nation the electoral vote OF that
state in the far North. Now, gentle
men, | have but word more, and say
this is contest unparalleled in my
Judgment in the history OF this country.
We are face to face with our ancient
foe, the Democratic party. we nave TO
fight corruption, we nave 10 usnI eVeiy

ballot-box in November next, and
saw to YOU that if we are
true to the principles of our party.
if we are true to the spirit that ami
mated the Republican party when it
nominated Fremont in 1856, and Lin
coin in 1860, we will not fail to achieve
a magnificent triumph in November
next. Why. look at this grand party of
ours; look at its magnificent leaders;
look at the men who have carried it to vic

of Lincoln, of Grant, of Sherman, OF
Sheridan; the party of Sumner, OF
Phillips, of Garfield and of Blaine. AT
