Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen of the
conventional owe 1t as my first duty to
thank you most feelingly and sincerely fOi
the distinguished honor you have just con-
ferrcd upon me in choosing me to preside
over the acts and deliberations of this
convention. ! deem II an honor, indeed iO
preside over such an intelligent and rep
resentative body of delegates as Is here
represented. This is Republican cOnven-
tion and it. has met for the purpose OF
naming and nominating the next mayor
the next treasurer, the next controller and
the next board of assessors of this healthy
prosperous and hourishing city. The peo.
pie, of whom the grand old Republican
party Is n predominant part, will ratify
with no uncertain emphasis the choice OF
this convention at the polls on the third
Tuesday of February next.
Our party was divided at the polls last
Saturday in its battle royal for the Sc.
lection of the best men to represent the
party, but 1t will be united at the polls
next month against our friends. the enc.
my, and will elect the choice of this con.
vention by tremendous majority. Tho
caucus last Saturday demonstrated the
fact that the Republican party of this
city is vigorous and active body, well
organized and enthusiastic. The result
of the primaries necessarily left some
wounds which true Republicanism and
true manhood will heal from the momen
this convention adjourns. 1t is matter
party of this city has within its ranks So
many of the best men of the city that IN
the selection of a leader it brings forth
such stupendous caucus as 1t did last
Saturday. The DEBATED candidates anC
their loyal body of supporters are no less
TO be commented than their successful op
ponents.
1t is not necessary for me. gentlemen o
the convention. to remind you that the Re
publican party of this city is invncibl'
when united against the common enemy
Therefore let me urge upon you tha
when ticket has been named by this con
vention that 1t be the ticket that We, on,
and all. will stand manfully by at tn,
polls next February. as becoming true ant
consistent Republicans: and greater vic
tory than has heretofore been recOrde,
will be ours. The good citizens of thi
grand city of ours cannot. nor vii not, asl
governmental affairs. The clean, homes
and progressive record of Republican
management during the past nine year
commends itself to the people and admit
of no argument for a change. Let wis
