right to name the temporary chairman
and asked if Mr.. Thurston had been elected by
the convention. Chairman Jones replied in
an emphatic affirmative, for which he was Wig.
orously applauded. But Mr. Osborne was not
to be subdued, and in the name of the Kan
sas delegation declined to be responsible
for the action of the National Committee
in this matter, and regarded it as great mis- take
(hisses). lie desired the roll of States to be
called, in order that the Kansas delegation
might cast its vote for Hon. William Warner
of Missouri.
No attention was paid to his demand how
ever, and Mr.. Thurston Immediately began his
address.
After thanking the convention for the honor
conferred upon him in his selection as tenn
porary presiding officer, Mr. Thurston said:
I'VE are met in National convention for
elaboration and conference. The Republican
party of the United States relies upon the
wisdom of its assembled delegates for such
action as will insure success. If we are
prepared to honestly and fairly meet the SUI
preme issues of the hour with clear, fearless
and ringing declaration of principles, and to
nominate ticket which will commend itself to
the loyalty and intelligence of the country, we
can grandly win.
I'VE enter upon the proceedings of this con-
vention prepared to sacrifice individual judg-
ment TO the wisdom of the majority. and to lay
success.
When our candidates are chosen we will all
join with heart and soul in the grand chorus
of rejoicing, and the rainbow of our harmony
shall give certain promise of the glory of
victorious morning in November. When
the Democratic party, at the close of the
last Presidential election, robbed us of
victory honestly and ia rly won. we patiently
waited for the certain coming of the justice of
the years. We hoped and believed that 1888
would right the great National wrong of 1884
Right it, not only for the Republican party, but
also for the grand and glorious candidates
