rs W1$& York next Novem-
- MAN Der, we shall gain
ARy9A grand Republican
E victory. and the
CHAUNc@DEPEW thirty-SiX electoral
votes of the Empire state will be cast
for the nominees of this convention.
We have no more factional differences
in New York than exist elsewhere, but
upon vote of nearly million and one
half, where the parties are so nearly
equal in strength as there. a little
apathy, little friction, little of the
bitterness of faction,
MIGHT CAUSE DEFEAT.
Now, all friction is allayed, all bitter
ness is removed, and unanimously, en-
Enthusiastically, we are marching against
the emOcratic-mugwump combine to
Oyerwhelm it and defeat President
Cleveland, and to restore the govern
ment of the country to the party that
preserved, yes, created it. Gentlemen
have said but little here about doubtful
states. We should not leave them out
of our calculations. With one exception
the states presenting candidates are not
doubtful. Let me call your attention to
this fact, that if we win this year it will
be against the solid South, as compact
as when Kansas was to be ap-
propriated to slavery, or as when the
nation was to be destroyed, for tell
you that whatever fraud and outrage
and violence, even to murder, can accom-
pliSh, may be counted upon to return
the presidential electors from the South
ern states for the Democratic party.
Democratic leaders openly proclaim
this purpose, and with these conditions
the contest is to be in and over New
York. would not discourage any one,
but confronting the overwhelming re-
spOnSibilities of this occasion, must
frankly state the situation and the
potential reasons why New York should
| name the presidential candidate. We
| must have the vote of New York in this
election, and equally with us the Dem
Ocracy comedies that the result must be
determined there. Gentlemen, the con-
test will be bitter, the fiercest waged
since the war. Republicans, farmers,
mechanics. have had enough of DEM
Ocratic maladminiStratiOn the business
interests have had enough of constant
threatening; and with
THIS UNNECESSARY DISTURBANCE,
accomplishing nothing, enough of futile
| attempts to reduce the surplus and
/ enough of constantly contracting cur
/ rency. New York, outside of her one
great city, is more strongly Republican
than any New England state; from our
{ valleys, from our mountains, from our
farms, forests and mines ana
from our shops the people
are rallying and will gather ire
siStibly to the support of our candi-
date. Labor in New York city, as else
where, has become frightened at the
base betrayal of its market to- foreign
capital by the Democracy ,and its sturdy
blows win be delivered for our side in
this vital contest. Democracy, en-
trenched in power. with its trained
trade organization, with its unlimited
supply of money, with its I'M
bounded capacity for fraud, will
not yield without the most
BITTER AND DESPERATE STRUGGLE
known in our late politics. 1t will help
us to name the candidate, and l assure
you we shall need the force of all ''the
sentiment" we can command. We pro-
pose candidate whose name will be an
inspiration to our country. His name is
dear to us all. His counsel has led US,
and will guide us; his elOquence has
electrified and will continue to inspire
us. His broad and statesmanlike ut
teranceS have long commanded the
respect of the people, not of New York
alone but everywhere heard and read.
AS chief magistrate of the republic his
superb abilities, his matchless execu-
tive equipment, his thorough knowledge
of affairs. his broad comprehension of
public interests and the nations
capacities, his perfect integrity. his
business and consideration of the rights
of man, his fidelity to Republican prin-
ciples would assure an administration
prOmotive of national
DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS.
IdOn't begin here. nor shall be COM
PEELED to make elsewhere, if he be
nominated, defensive campaign. 1t is
true his business relations have been
urged against him. If the most brilliant
career and achievement as business
man, known in our country, where so
many markedly successful men may
be noted. is just cause of criticism, then
he merits it, for l do admit that his
success has been phenomenal and
his achievements unsurpassed; and
now add also. that his life has been
signally pure and stainless. Yes, he is
the president of great railroad cor
porati0n, and there is not farmer,
freighter, mechanic or common laborer
in New York who will vote against him
for that. AS his life has been above re-
preach so in the management of the
vast business interests under his con-
troll. he has gained the. confidence and
holds the respect of all our
people. ] have told you that
the labOrers, the wage workers
were to be on our side in this contest,
they will not be repealed by the candi-
date we propose, but such has been his
service and fidelity to them, as to all
interests entrusted to him, and so true
and hopeful a friend and counsellor has
he proved himself that they will rally
IL i
sure. AS their candidate, and as the
choice of the Republicans of New York,
i present for nomination by this con-
,vention as the Republican candidate for
president of the United States. Chaun-
,cey M. Depew. There was the usual
applause at intervals during the speech.
