comparative quiet was obtained au-
dressed the Convention as follows: =.
| Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen, it would
be strange indeed il Virginia were silent
when the name OF Harrison was in the
front. have heard the distinguished
representative of Ohio speak Of his hav-
ing been born there, and heard him
claimed for Indiana, but it was Virginia
that reclaimed Ohio under the name OF
Harrison, and found Kaskaskia and Vim
cennes still under the name Of Harrison
lin Indiana. Three hundred and fifty
years ago, that rich and glorious blood
was planted on Virginia's shore, and
spreading out, it has enriched wherever
it has gone. In every State it is the
type and synonym Of gentleman Zap
plause), whether in the North or South.
On the plains Of Virginia, where many a
gallant soldier here has slept in. days
gone by, it will be remembered. her
broad acres were patented to the Harri-
sons. On the old battle field, where the
Northern soldiers fevered brow was cool
ed by the hand Of woman, many a time
and oft, the tear that fell upon him in
that strange land, fell from the eye OF
gentle, tender Harrison, and when we
carry that name back to old Virginia, mot
all the narrowness, not all the blgotry,
not all the old and dead passions OF the
past can keep the people OF Virginia from
electing Harrison. Tremendous en-
thusiasm.]
A word and have done. Four weeks
have gone since the Democratic press
began putting up the horse that was to
run this race. They have had him long

match the leader Of their party

led forth by the party had been blank,
eted, the curiosity OF thu, people had
been excited to see him, and now when
his coverings are ripped, ne stands Win
cleaning eye and pointed ear, with
curving neck and rounding barrel. with
bending pastern and cupped hoof, and
every indication that they shall have
their race, and a Virginia thoroughbred
shall be put against the Contestoga.
[Great laughter and applause
MAHoSE's SAY.
A nearly unanimous roar went up for
Malone. Some OF the Virginia delegates
grabbed the little General and pulled
him into the aisle. He walked to the
platform and addressed the Convention
as follows:

limits Of our country that l am for the
nominee (great applause), and while,
gentlemen of the Convention, / care
more, like many others OF you, for one OF
\ your distinguished statesmen than all
the others, yet with heart full OF
friendship for the field, with no objection
to any other candidates before this Con-
vention, have not seen fit to surrender
my colors, until the question was settled
(applause), and now it having been con-
cluded as it has been by a decisive ma
iority of the representa- ives Of the Re-
publican people Of this Nation. ijoin
heartily, as Ohio has done, in seccnding
the proposition which has been made to
make this nomination unanimous, and
would hope that need not give the as
surance to these people, that whatever
efforts are felt that can make to pro-
mote Republican success, and to promote

Wise) will be most doubtlessly performed
