gFst exceedingly that other engagements prevent

| Eoasins meeting. aud thst Michigan VIII give
General Harrison the same support that she
| would have given % me.
Amer reading this Mr.. Crosby said that
hs thought the ticket was q growing one,
| and that ss the months rolled by We shall
| ind that the ticket Is as strong as could
| have been made.
| G. w. Watkins was then called to the
hoor. He asked: What is the matter with
Harrison" Has ell right" was answered
from the audience "Whars the matter
with Aortonf Hes all right" What's
the matter with the platform" 'Its all
right" IL was . grand platform. and there
were two grand men on the ticket and they
| meant TO win.
Judge Montgomery was then called. He
said that he had always reserved to him
self the right TO speak, not to exceed fve
minutes, once in four years. for the party OF
bis choice. The ticket be thinks does not
need % grow. Harrison needs no intro
duction TO the people of the West; Morton
| needs no Introduction TO the people OF the
East. Harrison left a lucrative Office in
Indiana aud took his musket TO battle for
| his c0untry when rebellion threatened the
land. He Is the man TO win.
| Prosecuting Attorney w. J. Stuart said
that the party had met many difficulties
and that they had overcome them The
convention met with difficulties and the
convention went to work as Republicans
always do when they have met difficult
questions. They sat down and set their
brains to work. The result Is Harrison and
| Morton.
| w. A. Tateum said that when he came TO
this city ana began to practice bis profess
ion he thought that he would keep out of
politics but every young man who loves
his country must take an active part in the
coming campaign. The Republican party
sent delegates TO Chicago and after long
dellberation placed il nomination Benja-
min Harrison and Levi p. Morton VINO
will lead the Republican porty to victory in
November. Party devotion was needed.
The leaders should be followed whoever
they may be. Some of Us wanted that
good citizen and grand soldier, Russell
A. Alger, some wanted that Gladstone OF
America. Jsfnes G. Blaine, lapplausel. bul
; the party will scquiese in the choice OF the
convention and support il just the same q:
il any Of the others had been nominated.
Seybrant Wesselius said that many were
; disappointed, but the defeat Of our friends
at Chicago ought to be considered an honor
} Attorney General Taggart thought tha
they had met rather 10 organize a cam
paign than to ratify victory which is ye
10 De won.
Fred Maynard said that the Republican,
cannot fail under Hsrrison's leadership
| What an impetus will be given to the cam
| paign when word is received that j. q
Blaine has set sail for America. Applause.
; He will be welcomed by people standin
: by the side of Liberty Enlightening tn
World. as Grant was welcomed at tn
Golden Gate.
