 "Tlle Great American Commoner," or daThe Sage. of Ashland, as he came to be called, played vital part in one of the most bitter and violent. periods of political history. Like James c.

 Having nominated Clay at the head of the ticket, with John Sergeant for vice president, the delegates approved an address to the people replete with stinging accusations: "The political history of the Union for the last three years exhibits series of measures plainly dictated in all their principal features by blind cupidity5 or vindictiye party spirit, marked throughout by a disregard of good policy, justice" the address read, with plenty more to the same effect, serving to intensity the personal enmity already existing be- tween Jackson and Clay.
 The delegates were enthusiastic, hopeful and intensely loyal to their magnetic chief.
 Continuing the work of the conven- tion, a National Republican Assembly met in Washington, May 1882, and pre- pared the first genuine. party platform ever adopted by national convention. The main plank called for Adequate Protection to American Industry henceforth accepted as the slogan of the Clay forces in a canvass unexcelled for violence and rancor. Both candidates were attacked on personal, as well as political grounds; but the national re- publicans were always in the position of storming firmly fortified enemy, which gave the democrats confidence in the ultimate outcome.
 President Jackson, in providing Jade quate protection to good democrats had practical and winning response to the appeal for Adequate Protection to American Industry"
