GOV. BLACKS SPEECH.
Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND FELLOW CITIZENS: For
the distinguished courtesy you have paid me by
ccption you have extended ! beg TO express my
sincere appreciation. Occasions like this may
exercise a power not only upon the time and
events now here, but upon those long after sue

personal contact only can inspire, the courage
which even in the strongest needs SO often TO
be sustained, find on this common and con-
Conflict can disturb. But the personal aspects
Of such a gathering. Will" perhaps the most
er considerations which the grave RESPONSE
bilitics of citizenship will always arouse.
The freedom OF the individual is enjoyed and
but it is founded upon the obedience and sup

and upon those nuulberlCSS concessions daily
made 10 organized society without which that
freedom would soon perish: The need and wisdom

the rock on which they rest.
PRINCIPLES. NOT wuIMs.

Principles founded upon wisdom and patriot.
ism and sense are the shelter which alone in
times of danger can protect us. and which in
times of safety and rcposo should be kept
steadily in view. This atmosphere, where the
faith OF the Republican party dares even In an
of year TO declare itself, and where its friends
stand forth in public 10 surround and sustain it,
Is most agreeable to my senses: You have
pledged yourselves to advocate the principles
on which the Republican party was founded
and by which its victories have been won.
These sentiments arouse in me that admiration
and esteem which | have had the honor TO in;
herit from the last generation of New England
Republicans and which have grown more fer
vent and profound with each succeeding year.
The attitude OF the Republicans OF New York
has now IA meaning which j wish could DO

strengthen those who have never faltcred; it
would call back to their senses those who arc
pursuing in their dreams the phantom OF non
craftsmanship; IL might even move the con
science of those whose vanity and indiscretion
have led them to sacrifice to their own ambi-
ton the principles Of their party. and to be tho
means, perhaps, OF rctarding for many years
the progress OF society.
