whether we would or not, the point is. it is past. If we intend to settle here the question as to who was right and who was wrong then we are foredoom- ed to fail.
 The science of sensible government is founded on compromise. The integ- rity of party existence rests on the homely rule of meeting each other half way. Surely, as you gather here, with the present breaking upon your rapt- ured vision and the past filling your heart with songs of praise and joy, you are urged by every impulse and en- treated by every recollection to forever sink the differences that distract and the tluses that confuse, and, gathering afresh from this exhaustless headwattH- of our hope the spirit of fifty years of party faith, resolve. to restore our party to its place of power, and pride in the hearts and affections of our country men.
 The state of New York hardening to a demand from every quarter of tie country, comes to you united upon one who will bring peace into our counel, patriotism and power into our cam paiSn and success to our contest. New York answers with a man who learned the simple lessons of democratic faith in the furrowed field; who. took thsm with increasing strength to the bar and and finally honored them by his exalted station on the bench; a man throug1- out his career from poverty to power, and never in fair weather or foul for sock the standards of his party faith or deserted the colors of his command. The country called upon New York for a democrat free from factional dispute. and' New York answers with a man friendly to all factions, but a favorite and afraid of none; a man who will take counsel and courage of both-but who will take bitterness of neither-a man who will not stir the hatred of the past nor share the acrimony of the pes ent, but who will lead us up toward the future into a cloudless atmosphere or party peace.
 | If ycu ask me why he has been silent 1 l tell you it is because he does not claim to be master of the democratic party, but is content to be it's servant. If you ask me why he has not outlined the policy for this convention, I tell you that he does not believe that poli- cieS should be dictated, but that the sovereignty of the party is in the un- : trammeled judgment and wisdom of
 it's members; if you ask me what his
 policy will be, if elected, I tell you that f 1t will be that policy which finds ex-
 pTession in the platform of his party.
 We appeal to the south, whose un- | clouded vision and iron courage saw and fought the way for half century:
 whose Jefferson awoke the dumb de-
 hance of development into a voice tha:
 cried out to the world a curse upon the
 rule of kings and a blessing upon tho
 new born republic; whose Madi sor
 translated the logic of events and the
 law of progress into the constitution ol
 the country; whose Jackson reclaimed
 the lost places of the far south ana
 demoTalized the politics of the nation and whose soldiers showed the wonder
 ing world the finest fruits of brain anC nerve and hearts that ripen in her tenn
 perate sun, and who, through all tn,
 sons she lost and all the sons she saved
 and all the tears she shed amid tht
 sorrOwful ruins of war and througs
 all the patient loyalty and labor of aftel
 years so wrought for human happiness

 We apeal to you of the old south anC
 the new to join with us in this ntes for the supremacy of our party ",
 appeal to the west, whose fror tie struggles carried our civilization to tn, Pacific slopes, whose courage conquer ed the plain and forest, whose faithfu labor has built beautiful cities, clea l through the Rockies, we appeal to yo, to follow the leadership of Judge Alto! B. Parker.
