had saved the State OF Michigan, and
could redeem the country from the rule
OF the Democratic party at Washington.
> The speaker was glad TO extend the hand
, OF friendship and amity from New Eng
!, land to the grand Northwest. Some
people are talking OF nominating man
l from doubtful State. What the con-
! vention wants is the man who can
make all the States anything else than
doubtful, and Gen. AIger was such n
man.
Patrick Egan, OF Nebraska, also
seconded the nomination, as follows:
SPEECH OF PATRICK EGAN, OF NEBRASKA,
Mn. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF
THE CONVENTIONAL is not without
hesitation that l rise to address this
convention-this magnificent gathering
OF the chosen representatives OF that
great party which is pre-cminently the
party OF American progress, the cham
pion Of American liberty, the defender
OF American rights and the guardian OF
American.honor. lido soin order to dis
charge what l deem n duty to second
the nomination Of the gentleman pro-
posed by my friend from Michigan us u
candidate for the highest Office in the
gift OF sixty millions OF people; the
proudest position in the world to-day,
the Presidency OF this glorious Repub-
lie. Every true and loyal citizen of this
land, whether native or foreign born,
should desire and demand that the man
to be elected to that high office should
be true and thorough American Ma
tionalist. Because Of the struggle which
most OF us OF foreign birth have been
obliged to maintain for freedom and ma
tionality in our respective netherlands,
the question OF the nationality OF this
the
EQUALLY LOVED LAND
Of our adoption, comes home to us with
perhaps greater force than to others OF
our fellow citizens. We should all de-
sire to see nominated at this sconvention
man who can be relied upon to pro-
mote American commerce and American
industries, manufacturing and agricul-
tural who will protect American labor,
American rights, and American citizen
ship; who will maintain American dig
nifty at home and abroad; who will de-
fcnd American honor, and, should ever
the necessity arise, who will know how
to tittingly resent every indignity to our
glorious American fling. Finally, we
should all desire to see nominated
man who can and will lead the party to
success.
! believe, and think ! voice the senti-
ment OF no inconsiderable humber OF
good Republicans, as well US many who,
while not strictly allied with the Repub-
lican party, are sterling proteCtionists,
that in General Russell A. Algcr, the
gallant soldier, the successful merchant,
the man OF broad executive ability, the
brave, true-hearted, generous broad
guage, typical American nationalist, we
can find just such man. therefore
cordially and heartily second the nomin-
alton OF General Alger, in the earnest
hope that he will receive the endorse
ment OF this convention, and with the
firm conviction that when nominated,
he will with that indomitable courage,
dash, perseverance and good luck that
have always attended his undertakings,
in war and in commerce, as in politics,
carry the flag OF his cause and his party
to q glorious victory.
