not find him Ifliing the representa-

who have no conception OF what this
government Il, who know nothing OF
the indissolubie cohesion Of these
states. and whose only claim to recog-
milton i TO be foan1 in partisan ser
vice Yoa would not find him return
ing rebel flags, those honored trophies
OF grand victories. You would not
find him rendering about home rule
in Ireland and then consenfing to that
partisan conspiracy justified only by
iootpads' logic that .disfranehises
over 10000 free American cit
liens and restraints them in
territorial vassalage and keeps the
name Of Dakota from the shield that
deSignafes a state. you would not find
him contentesiiy and complacently ac-
cepting the fruits Of that organized
system of violence, frauds and out
of million of southern voters, thwarts
popular will, makes q presidential
election travesty. transfers political
power to an INSCRIPTIONS minority
and works a pregnant wrong TO the
political rights Of every honest voter
in the land. But We would always ind
him true to his country and the prin-
ciples of our party, wise in determin-
ing the better coarse, courageous in
pursuing it, honest in the administra-
ton of public affairs, calm, deiibera-
tive, conservative. kind and honest. he
would give the country an administers
ton which would meet the demands
and secure the benedictions of
A COMMENTED PEOPLE.
That grand army Of men who fol-
lowed Grant and sherman and Sheri-
dan, the widows and orphans and the
thousands who believe the soldier
honorable discharge is no disqualifica-
ton in civil life and thousands more
who loved the country and those who
served it will welcome him as
their first choice. They who
deserve well of their country
will rally TO his standard. He was the
soldiers friend in war and has been
their constant friend in peace. He
stood beside Lincoln and the army
from the day, of Sumpter till another
Sherman marched from Atlanta To the
sea and peace came on its golden wings

AT the conclusion of Foraker
speech the greatest demonstration of
the day took place, scene that has
only been equalied in the history OF
national conventions probably by the
outburst following the nomination OF
Cleveland by Daniel Dougherty at st.
Louis: In ora respect it certainly sur
passed that lit came totally unex-
pected. ForshnsS conclusion was

Then the cJelSolM9on realized in one
instant. apparently, as it never realiz-
Ell before, wha. n great hold sherman
had ON the convention. Such a tre-
inendous shout went up that the ban
ner in the dome tremhied and it seem

under the wild mass of yelling. almost

rendered the whole a marvel even to
those who participated most e,nthus-

At the conclusion OF the speeches
the convention adjourned until IL
