 MT. Dougherty said: greet you my countrymcn, with paternal regard. In your presence l bow to the ma iority of the people. The sight it. self is inspiring, the thought sub lime. You come from every state and territory. from every nook and corner of our ocean bound continent covering country. You are about to discharge more than imperial duty with the simplest cerimonial, You as the representatives of the people are to choose magistrate with a power mighticr than q monarch, vet checked and controlled by the su- preme law of the written constitu- constitution. Thus impressed l ac- cend the rostrum to name the next president of the United States.
 New York presents him to the convention and pledges her elcctoral vote Delegations from thirty-eigh, states and all the territories are as sembled without caucas or consulta- ton, ready simultaneously 10 take up the cry and make the vote unan imous. We are here not indeed to choose a candidate. but to name one whom the people have already chosen. He k the man forthc peo- pie. His career illustrates the glory of our institutions, Eight years ago unknown save in his own locality. he for the last four years has stood ill the gaze of the world discharging the most exalted duties that can be coniided to mortal. Today determ- ines that not of his own choice. but by the mandate of his own country men, and with the sanction of hcav- he shall fill the presidency for four years more. He has met and mas tcrd every question ao if from youth trained to statcmanship.
