endorse every senierce in that platform,
more especially the sentence relating to

! Ii. W. SCHMIDT.
! Mr.. ii. w. Schmidt took the greatest
delight in announcing his cordial SUP
port of the platform. He had read it
carefully and endorsed it as whole.
He did not seek the nomination, but be.
lieves it to be the duty of every citizen
to give his service to the public. He had
been an annexationist from the very
first, as his acts demonstrate. To accept
the nomination would probably neces-
state his giving up consulate under
his charge, but he would do it. ANY
sacrifice would be worth the pleasure of
seeing the stars and strips floating over
the Government buildings.
