THE GALLANT FORAKER.

reversedoes not cause him to sulk and HE
himself off to the camp Of mugwumps
and soreheads. His speech Immediate
lY after the senatorial caucus is illustra-
tive of this, and so much does it abound
with these evidences Of party fealty, so
admirable in the follower Of any faith,
that we reprint extracts from it here
with:
81 am informed that so far as you are
concerned, the senatorial caucus is end
ed; and have come here in response to
your kind invitation to say that SO far
as am concerned it is also ended. You
did not end it as / had hoped you might
[langhter], but you are the duly credit
ed and authorized representatives of the
Republicans of Ohio, and your will is
law unto me and mine.
AS Senator Sherman has said, we have
been having something of a contest.
For the last ten days we have been di-
vided into Foraker men and Sherman
men, and we have been striving against
each other. There has been possibly
some grasping aud some friction, but at
this hour it is our highest duty to re-
mem Der that from now henceforth, in
the language again Of our senator, we
are no longer Sherman men or Foraker
men, but Republicans always, Let us
here and now put behind US, with the
contest IN which it belongs. whatever of
unkindness Of feeling if there be any at
all, that NAV have been engendered. So
far as am concerned. I am glad &c be
able to say to you, gentlemen of the
SEVENTEEN general assembly, that have
not~an unkind thought toward any one
of you, no matter whether he has been
friend or foe. | have no resentments,
no bitterness of feeling to carry home
with me. On the contrary, [ shall 60
to the pursuit Of my profession with my
mind and my heart filled with only al
grateful recollection and pleasurable,
and, trust, pardonable pride for the
gallant, intrepid band who have hon
ofed me with their support in this con-
test.
Without any disposition to criticise or
find fault in the slightest degree, but on
~ as an excuse in so far as that may be
necessary for enlisting in a cause that
has not been crowned with success, but
defeat, let me say to those friends that
when we entered upon it did not fore
see some of its features. / was not aware
then, as we have since come to know,
that we had to fight not only those Re-
publicans of Ohio who were against us,
but because it was grand old John Sher-
man on the other side, it was the whole
United States against us.
The senator has said he does not want
any more contests like this. thank
you for the compliment, and vouch to
you that do not want ever again to
cross swords with Sherman. [Laug liter
and applause. I shall pick out another
fellow the next time. Renewed laugh

We are in the presence of another !
great contest. It so happens that under
our form of government we pass only
from one campaign to another. That
which is now before us is national con-
test. We are to determine in Novem-
Der next whether we shall continue at
Washington Republican administra-
ton or whether it shall be succeeded by
q Democratic administration, This is
no time for me to dwell upon the i'm
portant consequences of such change,
but allude to it only to admonish you
as Republicans that, standing as we do |
in the presence of such responsibility, it
is our duty to get shoulder to shoulder
and at once to prepare not only to look
to the future, but to move forward after
the banner of Republicanism to grand
and triumphant victory which it is our
duty and which it will be in our power
to achieve
No better illustration of charity re-
duced to minimum could be found
than in the action of the majority i'm the
