is Responsible.
Delegate Frederick White, of Iowa,
placed Horace Boies in nomination.
Mr.. White, Who looked like a plain
farmer, proved to be forcible speaker.
He said:
Mr., Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Conventional am authorized by the
Democracy of Iowa to present to this con-
Ventlon Tor the nomination to the high
office OF president, the name of Horace
Boies of our state. 1 want to assure this
convention, in advance, that this is NOT
a result or any question of mere local
PRIDE, nor is 1t the result of any consider
atom OF the question of mere availability
We ask you to nominate the candidate
OF our choice upon far broader grounds
upon the broad ground that Horace Boies
is enphatically broad man. Those of US
VINO Know him best do not hesitate either
here or elsewhere, to declare with all the
confidence that a thorough knowledge
OF the truth can inspire that he is a
man OF staunchest character, possessed
OF powerful personality, and equipped
with a combination Of mental qualities
that will make him, If elected
AN IDEAL EXECUTIVE.
Knowing as we all do. that the political
situation of the country is a grave and
omlnous one, this convention must not
ignore nor evade the responsibility this
situation creates, which is to give to the
American people candidate the mention
OF whose name, wherever known, will
carry with it an overwhelming strength
and stand in case of election as an un-
qual1hed guarantee for the entire safety
in the management of all public affairs,
the just settlement of every pressing
question and the speedy inauguration of a
VIGOROUS REIGN OF EXACT JUS
TICE.
Neither in formulating a policy nor in
the execution of the same, nor yet in
presenting an argument upon the merits
or dement's Of any public question, has
Governor Boies ever striven in the least
degree to create sensation; to his ever
laSung honor it must be said that in the
doing of these things he has never failed
to make a deep impression. This is the
ideal test by which the capacity of the
pubic man should be judged; this is the
highest standard by which s
reliability and usefulness should be as
certained and determined. If you select
Governor Boies as your candidate. and the
people ratify your decision in November,
we can promise you no pyretechnical dis
play from the White House during his
administration; there will be no rockets
sent up, the explosion of which will
brighten the timorous or furnish a subject
for foolish talk to the superficial There
will be
NO SENSATIONAL PERFORMANCE
on the political trapeze at the executive
mansion While Horace Boies is its occu-
pant; he will write out no startling mes
/ sages upon excitable public topics; We
promise you none of these performances,
but will tell you what we can and do
promise you and that is the Inauguration
and faithful execution of a policy that
will commend itself to every philosophic
mind and be applauded by every sincere
patriot, policy that will be character
lied throughout by the invigorating
course OF bard common sense, and be all
aglow with the everlasting sunshine of
noble intentiou-a policy the primary
7bject of which will not be the creation
Of opportunities for the unnatural in
crease of the already excessive fortunes
of an avarcious class, but the strict
maintenance of the
NATURAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL

of our population, the labOring classes,

wealth, who never tire of their devotion
