New York [applausel. This great battle
was to be fought out in New York. The
Democratic party had thrown down the
gage of battle. and if the convention
would help the Republicans of New
York, they would carry the fight to a
successful conclusion [appla1sel. If the
New York delegates were refused the
boon, they would 90 home and do all
that mortal men could, but they would

and discouraged. He appealed to the
convention to hear the voice of New
York. If the convention would name
tonight the man of their choice, they
would come and they would inscribe
upon their banners American wages
for American workingmen; American
markets for the American people, and
protection for American homes" and in
this sign they could not be defeated.
In behalf of the united delegation from
the state of New York. aye, in behalf of
the united Republican party of the state
of New York. name the Hon. Levi P.

delivered with great earnestness and
with great force. He was frequently

wild outburst of applause, the demon

which occurred when Harrison was
nominated.
Mr.. Gage, of California, seconded
Senator Miller's nomination of Morton.
He said that the convention had been
gathered, not in the interest of any one
man, but in the interest of the party,
and it was now a question of the best
to be done for success next fall. He
believed that the nomination of Harri-
son had made Indiana certainly repub-
lican. Now there was chance to name
a candidate for vice president who could
with Harrison make New York certain,
Levi 2. Morton could poll more votes on
the Pacific coast than any other living
American except that great commander,
James G. Blaine. He heartily seconded
the nomination of Morton. Gov. Foster,
of Ohio, also seconded the nomination of
Mr.. Morton. He said that the hopes of
his state had been shattered, but Ohio
would heartily support the ticket. He
believed that
II WAS GOOD
to nominate Levi p. Morton for vice
president, as it would assure the sue
cess of the ticket beyond doubt. He
believed that eight years ago the nomin-
alton of Arthur had made victory sure,
because it has assured victory in New
York. Let the party now profit by that
example and now do the same wise
thing and name Morton for second
place.
Mr.. Oliver. of South Carolina, also
seconded Mr.. MOrton's nomination.
MIR. Hallowell, of Kansas, briefly but
earnestly seconded the nomination.
Gen. Hastings, of Pennsylvania,
forcibly seconded Mr.. Morton's nomina-
sylvania. he said, instructed him to say
that it believed that the battle field
would be in New York, and that the
second state in the Union should reach
out her hands to the great, the second,
the
EMPIRE STATE OF THE UNION
and give her help loud applausel. As
God lived. Harrison and Morton would
be victorious. Applause.
Mr.. Marsh, of Illinois, rose to second
the nomination of Mr.. Morton. saying
that Illinois proposed to do for the
doubtful state of New York what she
had already done for the doubtful state
of Indiana. Applause.
Gen. Chalmers, Of Mississippi, gave
his political history, and explained how
it was that he had left the Democratic
party. with its hlde-bound notions, to
join the party of progress-the Republl-
can party. He was not in favor of Sc
lecting Southern Republican for the
second place on the ticket. That would
be like the charge at Balaklava-it
might be grand, but it would not
be politics. [Applause.l Wisdom,
policy and the best interests of the
suffering people of the South demanded
that man from New York to stand
with the man from Indiana. Applause. ]
A cursory remark which Mr.. Chalmers
made to the effect that half of the Mis-
sissippi delegation was composed of eX-
Confederate soldiers was wildly ap-
plauded. Mr.. Treat, of d 9laware, said
that the little state of Delaware felt
proud that it had brought Its few
| sheaves of wheat and laid them at the
| feet of the distinguished statesman
| from Indiana. Now they had heard the
| cry from New York, ,and it had better be
needed. The party wanted to win, and
| it was best now that the convention had
begun we'll that it should end well. He
was afraid that a further continuation
| Of Democratic rule might endanger the
| fish and the oysters of Delaware. He
seconded the nomination of Morton.
He wanted to get Delaware out of the
pawnshop of Salisbury and Bayard,
and the way to do it now was to name
one who was sure to win in this contest.
| Mr.. Speer, of North Carolina, created
| the sensation of the evening by humor-
| Gus speech, which was highly approved
| by the audience, and for which he was
warmly applauded. Standing up on his
| chair he declared this to be the proudest
hour of his life, confession which
called forth bursts of laughter. After
this it was with difficulty that the
speaker proceeded, for he was inces-
sanity interrupted with laughter and
cries of whats the matter with
Speer?" Hes all right" He was
| finally able to make it understood to
the convention that he favored the Sc
| lection of the gentleman Of "magnani-
nous magnanimity"-Leyi p. Morton.
