done it. Now let us go home and ratify it,

burnings, but full of enthusiasm as they
were when they came here.
New York was the cosmopolitan State of
the Union. Men of other States, whenever
they got too big for their own Commonwealth
went TO New York, and when New York
found man too large for his own Common
wealth and he would not move, she adopted
him. New York had adopted Benjamin
Harrison and voted for him solidly Jap

LEVI P. MORTON, Presented.
When New York was reached. Senator
Warner Miller said the time for platitudes
and encomums was passed. They had been
there a week and given to the people of the
United States platform upon which all the
Republicans could stand, and they had put
in nomination Republican whom all could
support without reservation. New York had
brought here one of her most brilliant sons,
but when it was found that the convention
was not likely to ratify its choiA he was
withdrawn in sorrow, but not in anger. For
the first time in many years the New York
delegation was here in harmony, and that
harmony would not end here. They would
carry it home and into the contest. The
gentleman whom he had been instructed to
name he had drawn swords with many a
time, but he would pledge the convention
that if it gave them the man OF their choice
their swords would be drawn only for the |
common cause Give them their candidate /
and thus enable them to carry New YORK. /
In behalf of the united New York delegation /
and the united Republicans OF New York
Senator Miller nominated Levi p. Morton, /
of New York.
