AS Mr.. Hamlin advance to the chair

He spoke fiuently and eloquently as
follows
CHAIRMAN HAMLIN'S SPEECH.
Gentlemen Of the Convention:
thank you most heartily for the hon
or you have conferred upon me, and I
trust you will believe me truly grateful
and appreciative.
We are here assem- bled for the purpose
of selecting six candidates for electors OF
President and Vice President of the
United States, and four delegates at large
and four alternates to attend the Ma
tional Repu blican Convention, to be held
ut ST. Louis, on the 10Th day of June
next.
At that convention our Presidential
candidate will be chosen; and, to select
candidate for the great Republican par
ty is to assume great responsibility.
The Republican party was born about
forty years ago. During the years in
which it has held full power its accom-
plishments have been marvellous. 1t
created great army and great navy !;
world ever saw; it burst the bonds of
revolving slavery which held within their
grasp four millions of slaves; it incurred
a tremendous debt and provided means
for its payment; it restored specie pay
ment; it created the national banking
system; it esta blished an almost unlim-
tied credit for the United States; it built
the Pacific railroads and brought the

madam line to the Gulf, to cry out: "Let
the grand Republican party be restored
60 power, let its protective policy be
again inaugurated, together with the
policy OF reciprocity, the wise creation of
our never to be forgotten statesman,
James G. Blainep'
In THESE times of depression, MS in the
time OF the Greenback craze, we hear the
cry Tor more money, and this time it
comes in the call for unlimited coinage
of silver.
In the earliest time. when labor began
to bring forth various products, some
medium of exchange became necessary.
Money has been defined to be anything
that serves as common medium of ex-
CHANGE and measure of value. History
shows us that cattle, beans, salt, tobacco,
rice, iron, copper, silver and gold, and
many other things have been used as
money. When real it is commodity,
and when representative it represents a
commodity. Gold and silver have now
become exclusively the real money. OF
all the articles heretofore used, they have
been found the best because of their III
trinsio value, portability, durability,
and slight fluctuation in value. Partic-
ularly does gold possess all these re-
quisites. Almost all countries have
adopted the gold standard lhaving, inci-
dentally, the silver subsidiary or change
money in reasonable and convenient
quantity, and some few countries have
adopted the silver standard, but do not
understand that any country now has
the double monetary standard which the
free silver people attempt to thrust upon
