its profound sympathy to that distinguish

applause and when the reading was finish
ed it was adopted unanimously.
Mr.. SWEET of the Maine delegation. in
behalf of the Democracy of Maine, thanked
the convention for the sympathy it had
extended to the distinguished resident of
their State. God forbid he said. that the
Democracy of Maine, or Of any other

all ranks. From the misfortunes and be-
reavements which have come upon the
distinguished gentleman in the past two
years, it may be said that one woe does
tread upon another heels, 50 fast they
follow. Only in a Democratic National
Convention can we, MI. SWEET said in CON
clusion, extend to him the sympathy
which comes from every section and from
every State.
Mr. Swett's remarks were greeted with
applause and cries of ''good, good
