EL1p1fF STAtt,
secure In that commonwealth the triumph OF the
ticket. Under these conditions personal consid-
erations and opinions could have no possible
weight Since then discussion has arisen which
has convinced me that my vocation and asSocla-
lions viii raise questions in hitherto certain re-
publican states which might enable the enemy TO
obscure the great issue or the future industrial
prosperity OF this country, which, unless Obscured
In some way, Will surely win US success this fall.
zine delegates had voted TO continue In my sup
port as long as ballots were TO be taken but under
the circumstances, after the most earnest and
prayellui consideration. came 10 the conclusion
that no personal consideration, no state reasons,
could stand FOR moment ia the way OF the gen.
era success OF the party all over this country or
coud De permitted 10 threaten the Integrity OF the
party In any commonwealth hitherto republican.
In our own state, by wise laws and wiser suumis-
sion TO them by the railroad companies, the rail-
way problem has been so completely settled that
u mas disappeared from our politics. But be-
neve that there are communities where II is still
so active that there may be danger In having II
presented directly Indirectly. Under these cir
cumstances and after your vote this morning,
called on the delegation from my own state and
requested them TO release me from further service
In that capacity. They have consented, and my
only excuse In appearing here is TO give excuse for
their action for the appearance OF my name, and
to express heartfelt thanks 10 the gentlemen from
the states and territories who have honored me
with their sufrages. The causes which nave led
10 this action on the part OF the state OF
New York, now that their judgment has been
arrived at, will leave heart burnings among the
people In that state. The delegation will 20 home
TO a constituency which were unanimous in the
convention"
Hon. John S. Wise, on behalf of the Virginia
delegation, said that that delegation had elected
the following officers: Chairman, John s. Wise;
member OF the national COMMITTEES, Morgan Treat;
member OF the committee TO inform the nominees,
Harry Lbbey.
Gen. Hastings, of Pennsylvania, was then recog-
harmony and caution, and In what he believed TO
be the best interests OF the party. He believed
that those interests dear TO the convention
would be best served by an adjournment until to-
morrow morning, In order to give the convention
time TO have more thorough understanding and
TO prevent hasty and unconsidered action. lie,
therefore, moved to adjourn until 10 O'Clock this
morning, and upon this motion he demanded a
call OF The roll OF states. There were at once
seconds TO this motion from Mr. Fiey, OF Missouri
Mr. Henderson, OF Iowa: Mr.. Fuller, OF North
Carolina, and Mr.. King, OF Maryland.
The vote resulted yea, 535; no, 2S2, and the
convention was declared adjourned.
INGERSoLL CAUSES SENSATION.
At once there were cries for Ingersol, and that
gentleman assembled the platform and addressed
the gathering as follows: ~ am q republican. l
belong TO the greatest TO the grandesU party ever
organized by the human race. l belong TO that
great party that Is In favor OF giving TO every
human being equal rights with every other. and
the mission OF the republican party Is not ended
until the great republic shall be civilized. The
mission OF that party Is not ended until every man
beneath her nag not only has the right TO cast his
vote In peace but To have II counted honestly and
In peace. am a republican because that party Is
pledged to the protection OF American labor. The
country that raises raw material and sells It as
The labor TO raise raw material Is Ignorant labor,
but the moment the raw material Is worked into
fabric, fashioned into beautiful shapes, that
qureS Intelligence, consequently the greater
number OF induStrie. We have la the United states
the more Intelligent our population will be.
Another reason: Ordinary labor is always cheap.
Labor commands price In proportion that the
mind is mixed with musle-in the proportion that
thought is mingled with EFFORT The people who
want us TO raise raw material for England-Eng-
land TO manuIacture-simply vote for the poverty
aud ignorance or America and for the wealth and
Intelligence Of Great Britain
III am In favor OF the protection OF American In
duStrles because 1t Will develop American brain,
because under that system we can raise the most
beautiful things beneath the stars, great men and
great women. Where men pursue but one indus
try they become stupid. Where the industries are
diversified every part OF the brain is d eloped.
and we have use for every aptitude for every
talent and for every kind OF genius. am In favor
OF American protection because under that policy
We have become the richest nation on the gloue.
81 am In favor OF that policy because We are the
most ingenious people VINO ever lived because on
tine average We have more sense than any people
that have ever happened TO meet / am ia favor
or that policy because here in the United States
we have on the average better homes, better
clothes, better food, and better schools than any
foundation OF America l believe the rresde Is
the altar OF the republic. / am In favor OF that
policy that Will put roof over the head OF every
mechanic.
81 am not only In favor OF the republican party
because IL Is In favor Of protecting industries at
home, but am in favor or that party because it
believes in education, because 1t believes In pro-
tecting the lights OF American citizens every.
where. am for that party because 1t took the
last stain from the American nag. am for that
party because IL gave freedom not only 10 four
millions OF people, but TO thousands OF millions yet
unborn / am In favor OF 1t because you can be
man and belong 10 1t. Now, having said this little
[crles OF GO on!l, regard the success OF the
publican party as the mosi important thing for the
republic. In the next place. no single man, what
ever his services may be- no gentleman, whatever
his achievements have been no single man, what
ever his capacity is, is of the slightest Importance
compared with the success OF the republican party
Consequently, the next question Is Who is the
most available man, other things being equai?
(Cr1eS for Gresham, Blaine, ami other candidates.
do not care who you are for, or who l am for.
The great question Is, and thai question must be
settled at the polls, not IN the whlrwind or eX-
element, but aiter months OF discussion, when
the hurrah Is out Of your lungs and sense is In
your BRAIN that question must be settled by the
most Intelligent men under the nag, aid when you
can do thing easily there is no need OF straining
81 would like to see this convention rise to the
dignity and splendor OF the occasion, and be-
heve you Will would like TO see you put upon
the next ticket two soldiers who helped TO save
our country. l would like to see two heroes
pitted against two democrats want two patriots
against two copperheads Then let the American
people make their choice. Let them say who they
Will nave, and my idea is this that man who did
not want to go to Richmond during the war should
not be sent to Washington The great thing
want is success Not simply Tor the party, out
for my country; and not SIMPLY for my country,
but for principle, because believe human liberty
Is more important than any country on the globe.
Now, being a republican, beng for the republican
party, being for protection, Wishing aud hoping
for success, 1 am In favor OF the nomination OF
Walter @ Gresham"
This declaration drew from the audience shouts
OF approval and assent Great confusion ensued,
and mingled cries OF ''Sit down" and "Go on, In
gcrsOll go on, could be heard above the general
din. Col. IngersOll stood tor some moments smiling
al the uproar he had caused and then endeavored
TO restore order, but found his efforts were fruit
less. Fred Douglass then came forward, but he
had no better success rOr q long time and until
the playing OF medley OF national airs by the
band calmed the spirits OF the crowd. Douglass
introduced Chas K Pope, the actor, who recited
deavOred to address the assemblage, but after lis
tenlng to him for few moments the disorder was
renewed and the speakers voice was drowned.
Finally It was announced that the sergeanJ-at-
arms wanted the hall to put It In order for the
morning, and the audience after some hesitation
dispersed
