that party will not be ended until every
man beneath her flag, not. only has the
right to cast his vote in peace, but to
have it counted. Counted honestly and
in peace. Cheers.l ! am Republican
because that party is pledged to the pro-
lection of American labor. Cheers A
country that raises raw material and sells
it as such, will always be ignorant and
poor. [Cheers.l Why, to labor to raise
raw material is ignorant labor, but the
moment raw material is worked into
fabrics, fashioned into beautiful shapes,
that requires intelligence; consequently,
the greater the number of industries we
have in the United States the more in
telligent our population will be. Cheers ]
ANOTHER REASON.
Ordinary. labor is always cheap. Labor
commands price in the proportion that
mind is mixed with muscle, in the proper
tion that thought is mingled with effort.
Cheers. Those people who want us to
raise raw material for foreign land. for
England to manufacture, simply vote for
the poverty and ignorance of America
(cheers) and for the wealth and intelli-
gence OF Great Britain. Cheers am
in favor OF the protection OF American
Industries, because it will develop Amer
ican brains; because under that system
we can raise the most beautiful things
beneath the stars, great men and great
women. [Tumultuous applause. Where
men pursue but one industry they be-
come stupid. Where industries are
diversiied every part of the brain is de-
veloped and we have use for every
aptitude, for every talent, and for every
kind OF genius. l am in favor of Ameri-
can production because under that policy
we have become the richest nation on
the globe. [Cheers.l am in favor O
that policy because we are the
most ingenious people who ever lived
because on the average we have more
sense than any people that l ever hap
pened to meet. Applause. l am il
favor OF that policy, because here, in tht
United States, we have, on the average
better homes, better cloths, better food
and better schools, than any other ma
ton. [Applause. | believe the hearth
/, stone is the foundation of America, Zap
plause) =; l believe the freside is the al
tar of the Republic. l am in favor o
that policy, that will put roof over th,
head of the mechanic. Applause.
1 am not only in favor of the Republican
party, because it is in favor Of protecting
1 industries at home, but am in favor Q
r that party, because it believes in educa
tion because it believes in protecting
the rights OF American citizens every
q where. / am for that party because i
. took the last stain from the American
r flag. [Applause.l am for that part
r because it not only gave freedom to fou
million people, but to thousands of mil
' lions yet unborn. am in favor of
' because
q YOU CAN BE A MAN
a And belong to it. Now, having said thi
Q little (cries Of "Go on"), l regard tn
] success of the Republican party as tn
most important thing for the Republic
/ In the next place, no single man, what
ever his capacity is, is of the slightes
importance, compared with the success
: of the Republican party. Great an
e continued applause and cheers.l Conse
8 quently the next question is, who is tn
Y most available man, other things bein
a equal? [Cries for Gresham, Blaine an
!, other candidates. l do not care VIII
= you are for, or who / am for. The gres
+ question must be settled al the polls, nc
4. in the whirlwind OF excitement, but afte
4 months of discussion, when the hurra
y is out of your lungs and sense is in you
o brains. [Applause.] That questio
s must be settled by the most intelligen
men under the flag, and when you ca
i do a thing easily, there is no need {
n straining yourselves. [Laughter.l
Q would like to see this Convention rise :
g the dignity and splendor Of the occasion
Y and | believe you will. | would lik
! to see you put upon the ticket two sol
Y diers who helped to save our country
= Great applause l would like to Sc
Y two heroes pitted against two Democrats
o Great applause. / want two patriot
+ against two Copperheads. [Applause
y Then let the American people make
r choice. Let them say who they vii
9 have, and my idea is this-that the maj
e who did not go to Richmond during tn
/ war should not be sent to Washingto
r now. Applause. The great thing
Q want is success-not simply for my party
a but for my country; and not simply 70
n my country, but for principle; because
t believe that human liberty is more i'm
v portant than any country on the globe
3 Great applause. Now, being Reput
!, lican, being for the Republican party
Q being for protection, wishing and hopin
s for success, | am in favor OF the nomina
