The candidates then appeared and were
received with cheers.
DR.. Parry said that he appreciated the
honor conferred upon him, aud he ac-
cepted the obligation placed upon him.
! He assured the delegates that he would
do all in his power to secure good legisla-
ton for the people, if elected Laws can
not be passed to make men rich or poor, but
legislation can be put on the books that
will reduce taxation and assist us in max

that would aid the people generally, he
wished to be considered pledged.
Mr.. Wildes said that when he said Il
thank you," be did not wish it considered
mere lip service Until three weeks ago
he never thought of being a candidate,
and he entered this canvass free from
pledges to any man or set of men. What |
ever his ability-which he feared was
over rated-or his habits of economy could
accomplish, would be devoted to the ser
vice of the people. In view of the past
history of this party it was beyond doubt
that it would not do to allow malice or
personal spite to be factor in any way. |
Perfect harmony is necessary for the sue
cess that is within reach.
Mr.. Matlack said that he was very |
thankful for the honor of a denomination,
as he had counted his retirement GER

CRY men did not care to hear any more
speeches, so he thanked the convention
for renomina ting him, and promised not
to let his past record grow dim.
The convention then adjourned.

dress, in which he praised the wisdom of
the delegates and voters of the Second
Congressional district in having for its rep
resentative man of the sterling char
acter of John ]. Gardner. of whom it
could be said that no vote or action of his
contributed to the present depression of
business and labor stagnstion. He SAID |
the skies are bright for success in all parts
of the country in the election this Fall.
He thought the voters of the district
should be congratulated in having for
a standard bearer the present Con
gresham, and he would impress upon
the minds of all present that it was
their duty to go to their respective locali-
ties and see that the Congressional major
ity is increased at least two-fold and the
entire district returns Republican Assem-
blymen, and be would guarantee that
those Assemblymen would vote for
United State Senator whose cook does
not deal in sugar stock.
