Ben's Transccndent Ability.

he stands before the country today we'll
approved and universally acknowledged
to be man OF tranScendent ability. of
extraordinary capacity for the discharge
OF executive duty. of exalted patriotism
and lofty purpose, who woold not for a

ventiOn and reelection by the people
swerye one hair 'sibreadth in any matter
OF duty. great or small, from what he
believed to be Just and right.

as one who can bear his full share in the
great contest which is today to begin.

one, Fave assembled and Endorsed with
enthusiasm his administration. Upon
that administration and its record of
efficiency and achievement the party is
to win, il at all, in the coming cam
paign? Put him again at the head of
the column; place again in his hand
the banner of Republicanism, and he
will carry it aggreSsiyely all the time at
the front, and he will lead us again to
victory. -
There will be irresistible power and
inspiration in the knowledge which per-
suades the people that SO long as he is
president there is one at the helm who,
whatever betideS us at home or abroad,
will bring to the solution of every queS-
ton, and to the performance of every
duty. a splendid and disciplined INTEL
ect, an absolute, unfalterlng desire to
improve every interest of every section,
and patriotism which never has wa
Yered either in war or in peace.
