We print the speech OF s. Hudson,
at Orrville, o., September 10, 1892, pre-
sentipg the name OF A. McGregor as q

Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen OF the
Convention The hand of time has
plucked fair flower from the Democratic
field, and carried II away to the depths OF
the great unknown; and nation mourns
the loss of one of Ohio's honored sons.
Like the fragrance that remains after the
flower is gone, the recollection OF his
goods deeds and noble qualities will long
continue, and the memory of John G,
Warwick will not soon depart from the
people of Stark county and the old sixs
teenth Congressional district.
But the battle of life moves on, the busi
ness Of the world must be done. One
has fallen, another must take his place
You are here today TO name ia successor tc

He learned Democracy from the early
fathers-Jefferson, Monroe, and jackson
Its principles were the guiding star o.
his youth, the companion of his manhood
familiar with all the doctrines
and traditions of the party
and has battled for democratic
truths and democratic principles in the
darkest hours of freedoms peril. He has
borne aloft the standard of democracy
through sunshine and shadow, through
evil report as we'll as through good report
and side by side with the lamented War
wick has steadfsstly supported the cause
and fought the battles of the par fol
nearly half century, worthy successor
to a most worthy predecessor.
The old ID Democracy was supported, and
strengthened, and cemented together by
his labors; and the young democracy was
cradled by his hand, and fed and nourish-
ed by the everlasting truths that fell
from his pen.
Ola the congressional aspirants who

able to the people, zone more worthy, none
better equipped to bear alott the standard
OF Democracy upon the battlements of
freedom than the venerable ex editor of
