trusted son whom she presents for
half, In behalf of the party whose
fortunes she has long and faithfully
followed, in behalf of the country
ltself-the country of which she is an
important integral part. She appeals
to you for thoughtful, conslderate de-
liberation before you put the seal of
your approval upon the candidacy of
any man. The duty and the power
Of decision lie with the majority of
this convention. That she knows, that
she admits, but she begs that major
lty to withhold judgment until she has
been heard The duty to deliberate in
such a place and at such a time as
this appears to her to be imperative.
She holds the right of free, untram-
meled and uncoerced action to be the
fundamental right Of every represent
ative assemblage, and she believes the
| deprivation of that right in this as
sembly will be fraught with future
| peril to the party and danger to the
country She has watched with pro-
found concern the tide of enthusiasm
that has engulfed you and which has
seemed to deprive you momentarily
of the power of thoughtful, deliber
ative action. She has looked with
deep solicitude upon what has seemed
to her to be high and arbitrary exer-
else of power, having for its purpose
the accomplishment of an immediate
end, conscious that what you do here
will avail you nothing unless your ac-
ton is afterward approved and rati
ded by the calm judgment Of just
and thoughtful people.
An Appeal to the States.
