A MANLY APPEAL.
Some OF this talk has been profitable,
but most oiit has been worse than profit
less. 1t is gratifying, therefore, to re-
alize that we have now reached point
in the pIogrees Of time and events
when it is our duty 10 quit looking buck
ward. From now, henceforward, let
every Republican look to the front. The
last campaign should be remembered
only go far us it teaches lessons of bene.
tit for the future. All connected with
it that may be the cause OF criticism or
bitterness OF feeling should be forgotten,
but il there be those who must have u
victim, those whose minds are-so con-
s.ituted that they cannot be satisfied
without definitely fixing fault, to all
such ] have an appeal to make. My
appeal IL that you place the blame upon
me. Whether it be Just or unjust for
you to do 30, shall not stop to question
Neither shall utter word OF complaint,
but on the contrary, bear most gladly
all that the bittcrest enemy can even
imagine as appropriate to be laid upon
my shoulders, If thereby l can in the
slightest degree promote the common
good OF our common cause. What hap.
pens to me or any other individual is OF
no consequence in u political sense 10
anybody but what happens 10 the great
Republican party is OF the highest con-
cern to alh
FORGET TIE PAST. 0.
No matter, therefore, what may have
been the causes; no matter who may
have been at fault; no matter what
Republicans may have voted for the
Democratic candidate, it is all OF the
past, and only heart burning and dissen-
aions can be tho result OF cherishing
sucI. Iecoilections. Away, then, with
bitterness; away with animoslty; away
with prejudice; away with rivalry; away
with everything that stands between our
pSrty aud our pariy's triumph.
The Governor than referred to the ad.
ministration OF Governor Campbell, and
pointed out the instances in which it
had violated its pledges on the stump.
He referred in eulogistic terms to Sher-
man, Mckinley and Foster; praised the
administration OF President Harrison and
the work OF the Republican Congress.
Foraker's speech occupied nearly an
hour in i,g delivery, and the speaker was
loudly applauded Mt different points, his
arraignment OF tho Campbell adtninistra.
ton being greatly enjoyed by the dele.
rates. The convention then took re-
Tess until 2:3O o'clock.
The convention reconyened shortly
before 3 o'clock. Iu accordance with the

Organization, the temporary officers
were made permanent. The report OF
tho Committee on Revolutions was
read.
