We are here to make the necessary pre-

THE TINE 10 DIFFER.
If there. is ever a time when it is
proper for Republicans to differ, it is
precisely on such occasions as this
when they are met together for tho ex-
press purpose of reaching ultimate
unity through the clash aud contest Of
present differences. !.
Tho eyes Of all the Republicans at
home and the eyes Of all our adver-
saries everywhere are intently fixed on
this convention. A nation is watching
us-our enemies to criticise, our friends
to ratify. The responsibility is enor-
nous, but yon will meet 1t wisely. The
Republican party has never yet made a
mistake in the choice Of candidates. II
will not make mistake here.
All over this broad land the bonfres
are set to be lighted the flags ready to
he u1fusfed, and the Republicans at
home are waiting to shout an approval
Of your choice.
THE GREAT LEADERS.
The history OF our party since 1855 10
the history OF our country. There Is
not single page, but shines brighter
for some act or some word Of some
great Republican.
Count me over your chosen heroes
whom we are teaching our chiluren TO
love, emulate and revere, and you shall
name Republicans. Lincoln, Seward,
Grant, Sherman, Garfield Logan, Har-
rison and Blaine. These are a few Of
our jewels and We may proudly turn TO
our Democratic friends with the defiant
challonge-watch thom!
These men becamegreat and remained
great. Ihave not time even 70 cata-
logue The long list OF good works under
taken and performed. You are all
familiar with the story. The irrepres-
sible conflict undertaken and concluded; (;
slavery abolished; public credit re-
established; the constitution Of the
union restored and reconstructed; /;
the old hag washed clear OF every stain
and new stars added to its glory;. the
wide west thrown open TO easy access
and settlements; the policy otproteclion
to, American labor and American indus
tries established, developed aud yindi-
Gated; the markets OF the world opened
by the persuasive logic Of reciprocity 10
the products Of the American Workshop
and the American farm.
AYnEE AND HONEST BALLoT.
Our pledges have been kept all save
one, and greatly mistake the temper
Of the Republican party II II will over
be contented until that pledge Is made
good. Our manhood and. honor is
pledged to continue the contest for a
free and honest ballot, Until this
vexed question Is settled in the right,
that a free people should cast free
vote and have It honestly recorded and
returned, Is the dream and the deter.
mination OF the Republican party and
tho despair and nightmare Of Demo
cracy,
The question has mover been perma-
nently settled and never will be fully
determined until Il ID settled in the
right and until every citizen, white or
black, east or west, north or south, can
approach the ballot box with absolute
security and have his vote counted with
absolute honesty. None Of us can rest
assured that our liberties arc safe. The
vote OF no man Is sale. II is not the
negro on which is Acknowledgement. It
Is every American.
