MIR. Freeman's Speech.
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen Of the Con-
uention.
Sixteen years ago convention of the
First District conferred upon Mr.. Thorn
as B. Reed, who was then but little
known beyond the limits of his native
state, his first nomination for Congress-
He was elected, and since then eight con-
secutiye conventions of this district have
met to pass Judgment upon his public
acts. and eight consecutive elections have
tested the loyal and victorious support
of the Republicans of the First District
of Maine. We know as we meet here to-
dav. with desires harmonious and ranks
unbroken, that, although we may say to
Mr.. Reed. ssWe want you to again repre-
sent us in the National Congress-" we
can add nothing to his fame. For Is
years 10 nsts - Ill., ~. ~, ,,hioh
he is to be Judged, are imperishably in
tepwoven into the fabric of our national
| history.
Mr.. Reed no longer belongs alone to
the First District of Maine, nor does he
belong to the State of. Maine alone; but
to the nation, to that country whose SUI
preme tribunal has indorsed the sound
ness of his judgment, and whose every
state and territory, from Quoddy Head
to the Golden Gate, by it's representa-
tives in convention assembled, arise as
one man in tumultuous and spontaneous
greeting. But, gentlemen, the highest
reward for faithful service, however late
or obscure, or however extended or ex-
allied, can only be through still greater
work to do. therefore have the honor
to put in nomination for the ninth con-
secutive time the Hon. Thomas B. Reed
Of Portland, In the full belief that with
him as our standard-bearer we can look
to theipast without regret, and to the fu-
ture without fear, and let the country
finish the work which it has been our
privilege to have begun. [Great APP
plause.
