Chas. ]. Noyes. of Massachusetts,,
seconded the nomination of General
Alger. He thought it eminentiy be-
coming the Republican party to deck
this building with the stars and stripes
| in the face of the adoption by the
Democratic party as its banner an old
mans snuff rag: that no candidate
had or would be pre- sented to this con-
vention who had more claim upon the
banners which decorated these halls
than had the soldier whose nominal
| ton the speaker was proud to second.
He combined in him those qualities
| which recommend him to the hearts
and convictions of the people. He is
a msn with the courage of his convic-
tons and executive ability TO fully
meet every requirement OF the presi-
dency. II protection Is to be the issue
who Is better equipped to sustain that
issue than one who knows all of the
practical details of the question. Gen
eral Alger had saved the state of Mich
igan from the enemy, and he could
redeem the country from the rule oil
the Democratic party at Washington

ended the nomination, and referred Il
Aiger as man who will maintain the
honor of the United States at home

Alger because he believed that when

crosby. The speaker said there was

ter with AigeT. OF course he's all right.
