1 think this large assembly quite beyond the
power OF my expression tor the compliment
they pay ME as l journey homeward In the
brief moment of the train stopping have only
time to add to my thanks an admonition: that
is, II Connecticut shall maintain her great pros
perity; il she shall maintain her forward nosi-
ton among the industrial and prosperous
communities OF the United States, she must be
up and doing. She must see to it that no harm
shall come to the republic or herself by neglect
OF her Republican tizens 1t is not improbable
IN the political contest now upon us that the
post of honor and responsibility shall rest upon
Connecticut. 1t is not improbable that the
PRESIDENTIAL election OF 1888 may be settled on
the soil of your State. Ny request is that each
and every one of you shall regard the task of
carrying Connecticut for Harrison and Morton
as imposed upon himself. Believing you are
awake to your duty 1 shall proceed to Maine
and ask her Republicans to show Connecticut
the path in which she should walk. Applause
