With deep sense Of the honor aud
OF tho responsibility involved, with due
regard TO the constituency represented
in this great convention, and bearing
constantly in mind that tho highest re-
ward that can Como to d public servnnt
ia the recognition OF his devotion to
duty ard integrity of purpose, accept
the standard which your votes have
placed in my hands. With tho help OF
my distinguished associates on tho
ticket with renewed devotion to tho
principles Of our party. and with your
assistance and that OF tho people whom
you represent, we will, II God pIcases,
carry our banner to victory and bring
the Republican party home again. |
have road tho declaration OF principles
and sentiment contained in tho plat
form and they not only meet with my
approval, but will have my earnest and
constant advocacy aud support.
Tho people OF the country are i'll at
ease under the present unhappy condi-
tons. This. however, is not tho time
to recite our national misfortunes. They
speak for themselves in forms OF dis
may and encouragement. But tho Re-
publican party has too long been acCus-
toned to employ tho Language OF hope
and encouragement to swe!l tho songs
OF peace, prosperity and coutGutmeht, to
be now turned aside TO join the cry OF
misfortune and calamity which has al
most shut out tho music OF American
industry and happiness.
We will continue to favor distinC.
tive American policy, which compre-
bonds tho best interests OF all Ameri.
can citizenship. white or negro, rich or
poor, native or naluralizcd, and which
will maintain our national well being
and tho honor and glory OF our flag in
every cou ntry, on every sea and in
every Island OF tho sea.
