Politics as Tail to the Kite.

! the whilom cry of 16 to /, so full Of ter
ror In 1856, has been put to everlasting
sleep alongside the lost cause" and other
cherished Democratic heresies, in the
c9tacombs of American politics. (Ap-
pIause.) With a diplomacy never eX-
celled and rarely equalled, he has over
come what at times seemed to be insur-
mountabIe difficulties and has not only
opened to us the door of China, but he
has advanced our interests in every land.
MIR. Chairman, we are not surprised bY
this, for we anticipated it all When we
nominated him a st. Louis four years
ago, we knew he was wise, we knew he
was brave we knew he was patient; we
Knew ne would be faithful and devoted,
ana We knew that the greatest possible
tflumph5 OF peace would be his; but we
then little knew that he would be called
Upon TO encounter the trials of war.
/ nat unusual emergency came It came
unexpectedly as wars generally come 1t
came III spite of all he could honcrably
do to avert il. 1t came to find the coun-
try unprepared fer IT. but 1t found him
equal to all emergencies. (AppIause.)
and 1t IS no eXaggcratiOn to say that in
an American history there is no chapter
IhHTe brilliant than that which chronicles
with him as cur conmander-in-chief our
victory on land and sea- (Applause) In
IOV days we drove Spain from the West
erh hemisphere, girded the earth with
our acquisition and filled the world with
the splendOr of our power applause
Inc American name has new and great
er significance low
Our flag has a new glory.
II not only symbolizes human liberty
ana political equality at home but ii
means freedom and independence for the
IonS-Su1ferlnE patriots Of Cuba and COM
pIete protection, education, enligEten-
ment and uplifting and ultimate local
seH-BOVefnment and the enjoyment of all
the blessings of liberty TO the millions in
Forto Rico and the Philippines What
We have so glOriouslY done for ourselves
we propose most generously to do for
them. (Applause)
We have so declared in the platform
that we have adopted. A fitting place it
Is for this party to make such declara-
tonS. Here in this magnificent city of
Philadelphia where the evidences 50
abound Of rich blessings, the Republican
party was given to the American peo-
pie. Here at the birthplace of the ma
5loh' Where our own Declaration of In
dependence was adopted and our consti-
luton was formed; where Washington
and Jefferson and Hancock and John
ADAMS and their illustriOus associates
wrote their immortal work; here where
center so many historic memories that
stir the blood and blush the cheek and
excite the sentiments of human liberty
and patriotism, is, indeed a most fittina,
place tor the party cf Lincoln and Grant
ana CARRIED and Blaine and (aDDlause)
the party of union and liberty for ali
men to formally dedicate themselves to
TINS great duty. We are now in the
midst of its discharge We could not
turn back if we would, and we would
not II we could. (Applause) We are on
lildl DeiOIe the World and must trium-
phantly meet our responsibilities or ignO-
mlnlouSly fail in the presence of man
klnd. These responsibilities speak to this
convention here and now, and command
us that we choose to be our candidate
and the next president-which is one and
the same thing-the best-fitted man for
the discharge Of this great duty in all
the republic (Applause)
On that point there is no difference of
opinion. No man in all the nation is so
wen qualified for this trust as the great
leader under whom the work has been SO
far conducted. He has the head, he has
the heart he has the knowledge and the
special experience that qualify him be-
yond all others
And, Mr.. Chairman, he has also the
stainless reputation and character and
mas led the blameless life that endear
him to his countrYmen and give to him
the confidence, the respect. the admira
u0n, the love and the affection of the
whole American people. (AppIause.) He
is an ldeaf man, representing the highest
type of American citizenship; an ideal
candidate and an ideal president With
our banner in his hands, it will he car
RED to triumphant victory in November
next (Applause.) In the name of All
these considerations, and not alone on he
naIf OF every other state and territory
here represented and in the name of al
republicans everywhere throughout our
jurisdiction, nominate to be our next
candidate for the presidency William Nc
