ciOuS doctrine OF free trade.
AS we gather here we remember that other
great convention held in this city in 1860. We
remember now it was inspired with the wisdom
and courage to select that great man OF the peo-
pie; that Moses who Led us through the parted
waters of the sea, past the wilderness of battle
over the Jordan of safety into the promised land
In 1884 we were driven back into the wilderness
again God give US the wisdom to find another
Moses who can limit our wandering to four years
instead of forty
The mighty past is with us here to-day. it fills
us with that same spirit CT freedom patriotism
and devotion which breathed in th5 com mon
dust of ordinary humanity the sublime inspira-
ton of heroic deeds. Let read its lessons
rightly and hold its precepts dear.

upon his dying bed, he requested that his heart
should be taken from his inanimate body and
borne by knightly hands to the Savour's sep

heart encased in a golden casket set out upon
his pilgrimage to the Holy Land. On their
way thither. himself and comrades were

riors Though they fought with ali the valor OF
mortal men, they were borne backward by sheer
force of numbers, and their overthrow seemed
certain. When Douglas, drawing from his BOSOM

the oncoming hest aTld cried out: "lead on
heart of Brace, we follow thee and the Knights
of Scotland. never defeated while following d
Bruce, pushed forward and won the Cay.

Bruce. He Will take the Eoul OF our great leader
into the golden casket of his love and with it

state to present 70 the temporary chairman of
this convention toc his use, gavel made of the
ganized on the 9Th of July. 1854, IN the
state of Michigan. Applause This gaveI
salt laughter, the five industries that the party
now in power would ruin and abolish from the

with the remark that he would COM
mence to pound the life out of the
Democratic party with it. Laughter
