corted to the platform. He made the
following address:
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Contention: This is strange expe-
rience to me, and you will pardon me if
| am somewhat unused to it. You will
also pardon me | hope, if, on this occa-
sion, | but exemplify that saying, that
None feel the inadequacy of language
like the grateful" l tender to you
gentlemen of the convention, and
through you to the Republican party of
Wisconsin, my heartfelt thanks for this
marked expression of your confidence
more and | certainly can wish to do no
less than to here pledge to you that
what am, and what hope to be, shall
be devoted to the honor of this COM
monwealth and the Republican party of
this state. Cheers.
Il do not feel, gentlemen, that your
choice has fallen upon the shoulders of
experience or upon the head of talent;
but do feel that if called upon to ac-
cept and take this high Office, have be-
hind me the hearty good will and the
strong, resolute support of the Republic
can party in Wisconsin. Entrenched
in that, | certainly have hope for sue
cess.
1--WE are now about to enter upon a
great national campaign. For years
there has come to my unwilling ears
the remark from luke-warm Republi-
cans that there is 70 difference in the
parties; that the struggle has degener-
of al fD,
the offices. thank Heaven, and from
Heaven to its unwilling instrument,
Grover Cleveland, for being re-
lieved from this dilemma any longer.
[Applause.l There is a difference,
and that difference is making itself
felt through the whole of this great ma
ton. The struggle has commenced.
and that difference is being felt, as like
ground swell. The convictions of men
are fast crystallizing into defense of
those principles which you and | have
held so dear through all these years that
have passed and gone. The central
question for You and l as individuals,
forming in the aggregate the Republican
party of this state and the nation, to de-
termine is the simple one of patriotism.
[Applause.l The Republican party has,
thank God, a patriotic record APP
drawbacks; nothing to call the blush of
shame to the cheek of the humblest Re-
publican, the humblest adherent to the
party.
And, gentlemen, We are now confront
ed with quest on that finds its central
root in the very elements of patriotism.
The doctrine of free trade to-day can
be indicted most strongly because it is
unpatriotic. No finer definition of pa
trlotism was ever offered than that of
st. Paul, where he says, He that careth
not for his own is worse than a heath
en- [Applause.l Take that with you,
that simple phrase of holy writ. Carry
1t with you when you are STUN bling
through the nazes of all sophisms and
all arguments. Take it with you for the
solution of this question of to-day:
Whether we shall stand by the Ameri-
can Iaborer, the American soldier,
American history and American destiny
for all time to come. He that careth not
for his own is worse than heather.
again, gentlemen, in the simplest
phrase that | can muster, l thank you
for this magnificent expression of your
esteem towards me, one of the bumblest
members of the party; and pledge you
that all | am and all l hope to De, as |
said before, shall be devoted to your
honor, which, l hope, | most religiously
hold in keeping There is nothing more
to be said except this: | am very glad
to be informed that during all Your
councils here, that spirit of harmony,
that spirit of Cancellation, and that spirit
of wise understaD ding and adjustment
of differences, has kept pace with all
your deliberations. 1t is pleasant
augury of coming success. | know, gen.
tlemen, that as you have placed me in
this responsible situation, | shall meet
at your hands the most hearty encour-
agement, support and sympathy, and
even commiseration for nv weak
nesses. Again | thank you" TCheers.
