Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN: l tender
my profound thanks for the great honor You
Aa,1 1ox,a kkia ,,tol.k that
no man living can appreciate it more thor
oughly than ], and my acknowledgements to
You and the party you represent are fervent
and sincere. only ,tremble lest l am un-
worthy the high trust you propose giving me-
can only be discharged if l am in touch
with the great body of true Democrats
good men whose favor ask and will try tc
merit. . -r ,-.
With whatever Of mental and physical
strength am endowed, l give my mind anc
heart to your service, and my intentions a.
| least shall merit your esteem. .....
Born and reared among you, engaged from
my youth up in the same affairs, sharing til,
same tasks, hoping and struggling ant
working with you, we are at heart in sym
I pathy, and I can appeal TO you as my friend
and neighbors for counsel and support.
My Democracy like that of our ,neighbor
in northwestern Ohio is comprised in an ar
ueub uebLI0 IOE db Br0db luoib9 VI bhOueh,
and speech and action as is consistent wit
giving every other in the commonwealth tn
same liberty and that no more legislation
necessay than. is requisite to give us thi
liberty. 's-.-
By this every public question is to b
tried, and whether the issue be a temporar
or a protracted one there is no difficulty j
deciding on the position the party occupies
1t is on this principle that we base ou
struggle for tariff reform, and we know b,
it that we must win and that speedily an
thoroughly.
My lifelong association, my action whe
occasion required, are the best indication
you of my future course. With harmony i
our council, with prudence in our Legislation
with thoroughness in our organization, wit
the best man in the State in earnest, actiV
effort, we can win Congress in 1880, COVE
nor and senator in '91 and put Ohio ID
mocracy we'll to the front in the gre'
contest of '92. Gentlemen. again than
you heartily and sincerely and bid 70
good night. Loud and continued applause
