"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of tn
Convention Il came here as delegate
at-large from New York, neither ex-
pecting nor desiring TO appear in this
convention or before il in any other
capacity. After my arrival, the repre-
sentatives of New York, by q
unanimous vote, presented my name
to this convention. 1t was done for
reasons in belief Of the course, it was
only short time since the organization
of the Republican party that all diyi.
siops could be headed end all interests
united IL the Empire State. 1t would
secure in that commonwealth the tri-
umph OF the ticket under these condi-
tioHs. PeYs0nsl consideration and
opinion could have no possible weight,
since the discus, iOn has arisen which
has convinced me that the vocation
and associations will raise questisus in
the hitherto certain Republican
States which might enable the
epsmy to obscure the great
issue Of the future industrial prosper
ity of this country-(A pplause. -
which unless ebscuIed IA some way
will surely win US success this fall. Gap.
| plause.) The delegates had yotsd to
continns in this support as long Is bai .
lots were TO be taken, but unGer the cir
Icumstauces, after a earnest, prsyeIfui
| consideration, came to the c1nc usioa
that no personal considere ton, 10 state
reasons, could stand in the way of the
general esccess of the psrty all over the
| country, or could be permitted
I'd thTeatea the integrity OF tbs party
| IN any common wealth hitherto Repub-
lican. In our own State, by wise laws
and by wise submission TO them by
| railway companies the railway problem
has been completely settled that it has
| disappearedfr osi our politics (applause)
but [ believe there are communities
where it is still go active that there
may be danger in having it presented
directly or indirectly. Under these
| circumstances and after your vote
this morning called on the delegation
| from my own state and requested
| them to release me from further service
| i'll that capacity. They have consented,
/ and my only excuse in appearing here
| s-to give an excuse for the appearance
| Of my name, and to- express my heart
| felt thanks to the gentlemen from the
States and Territories who have hon.
ored me by their SURFACES. The causes
| which have led to this action on the
part of the State OF New York. now
that their iaegtD ent has besn arrived at.
will have no heartburnings among the
people In that State. The delegation
will go home to rhsir constituency and
find it unanimous in support Of who
ever will be the nominee OF thiS conven-
ton. (Applause.)
INGERsoLL SPEAKS.
Immediately after adjournment, the
audience sent up wild yell for Bob
Ingersoll in which the majority of the
delegates joined. After w1thstanding
considerable urging. Colonel Ingersoll
stepped out from behind the desk
where he had been sitting and was re-
ceived with enthusiastic cheers. He
addressed the meeting as follows:
Ladies and GcRtlemen-I am q Re-
publican. belong to the greatest, to
, the human race. (Applsuse.) ] belong
giving every human being rights, with
every other. and the mission of the Re
publican party IS not ended until the
great republic shall be civilized.
| (Cheers)- The mission of that party is
not ended until every man beneath her
flag not only has the right to cast his
vote IN peace, but to have it counted
honestly and in peace. (Cheefs.) l am
a Republican because that party is
pledged to the protection OF Amer
lean labor. (Cheers.) A country
that raises raw material and
sells it as sr~h will always
be ignorant al Door. (Cheers). |
The labor to .se raw ma
terial is ignorant labor, but the moment !
raw material is worked into fabrics and |
fashioned into beautiful shape, that re- |
quires intelligence. In consequence of |
The greater number of industries we !
have in the United States, the more in
teiligent our population will be. |
(Cheers.) Another reason is that Or
binary labor is always cheap. Labor |
commands a price in proportion that
the mind is mixed with muscle, in
the proportion that thought is mingled
with effort. (Cheers.) The people who
want US to raise the raw material for
ture, simply vote for poverty and the
ignorance of Americans (cheers), and
for the wealth and intelligence of Great
Britain. (Cheers.) l am in favor of
the protection of American industries
because it will develop American brains,
because under that system we can
raise the most beautiful things beneath
the stars-great men and great women.
(Tumultuous applause-) Where men
pursue but one industry they become
stupid. Where industries are developed,
every part of the brain is developed
and we have the use for every aptitude,
for every talent and for every kind of
genius. / am in favor of American
production, because under that policy
we have become the richest nation on
the globe. (Cheers.) I am in favor of
that policy because We are the most
ingenious people who ever lived; be-
cause on an average we have more
sense than any people that ever hapAi
pened to meet. -(Appiause.) l am In
favor of that policy because, here in
the United States, we have on the
average better homes, better clothes
better food and better schools :
than any other nation. (Ap-
plause.) l believe the hearthstone {
is the foundation of America. Gap
plause.) believe the Preside is the al
tar of the Republic. 1 am in favor OF '
bat policy that will put roof over the
head of every mechanic. (Applause.)
l am not only in favor of the Republic
can party because it is in favor of pro- 6
tecting industries at home, but l am
