justly proud.
At the very threshold of this re-
sponse and before dealing with other
subjects, l must, in justice to myself
and to relieve my sense of gratitude,

convention. After nominating me and
subsequently receiving a communica-
ton declaring that I regarded the
gold standard as firmly and irrevo-

hereafter no man could justly say that
his support had been secured through
indirecton or mistake, the convention
reiterated it's determination that
should be the standard bearer Of the
party Mn the present contest. This
mark of trust and confidence l shall
ever esteem as the highest honor that
