In all this they have fully vindicated tho ki wisdom of the party which gave 'them freedom, edtreation, land civil. rights, 'while at the same tone their conduct has seemed •to deepen the blackness of the great crime of alav cry, by demonstrating the _lpossibfli ties of the race.

(Applause.) Four years ago she sustained Gen eral Grant, because she recognized the great debt of gratitude that the Union owed to the brave heart,' the strong arm and the silent lip of our great chieftain. To-day she endors es that nomination, because he has been tried and found faithful. When we have passed by -the little quarrel ings' and criticisms, which are :as the motes that float in the sunbeam, im partial history will' wonder that the great Republic, through one of its" recognized Senators anii a Republi 7 , can, could have attempted' to stain the sword and impeach the honor of the one man to -whom, under God, the nation owes more than to any other: In his place upon the Senate floor the Senator from Massachusetts said it, and as I read it according to the gospel of the Tribune, the text is probably correct. He said that Stanton, just before he passed from earth spoke as fol lows : announced call the roll • a. I of CS the Committee eat of the 1 ,,. or. Morton, Io • • na, Gov. and several etl the Con- DM= anent Or chairman, I know General Grant better than any other person in the country can know him. It was my duty to study him, and I did it night andday;when I saw him and when I did not see him, and now I tell you what I know —he cannot govern this country. Aye, the great war secretary of Pennsylvania knew Ulysses S. Grant through and through. When he came to the untried fields of Virgin ia, Mr. Stanton. who, until that hour had discharged not merely 'his min isterial duty as Secretary of War,bnt had also felt it obligatory to watch somdwhat the movements of the.gen era's who commanded the armies in our field; had not to do so now ; and from that hour E, M. Stanton and Abraham Lincoln trusted Ulysses 8. Grant. Aye, Stanton knew Ulysses S. Grant When our own gallant Sherman had, -in the judgement of the Secretary of War, made some what of error in the terms of the sur render of Johnston's army. Stanton sent Grant, untried politician, to su pervise' the surrender and prevent complication of legal mistake. To his aristocratic and imperial will, never attempted to do more than to suggest to Sherman the: policy of the government He allowed' the Gen eral to conduct the surrender in his own name and according to his own method. Aye, Edwin M. Stanton — knew Ulysses S. Grant. In that dark hour when Johnson for a moment threat ened.the use of the military . power against the will of the people in Con gress. assembled, he never dared to breathe his dream of ambition into • the oar of General Grant, but sought by brevet commissions to get some one else to follow him. Aye, Stanton knew Ulysses S. Grant. He knew him in, that time when he was ap pointed ad interim to the position of Secretary of War. It - was Grant then who stood singly and alone be tween the ambition of Andrew John son and the country. - Aye, he knew General Grant, and when. you four years ago placed him in nomination, by speech he indorsed his fitness, sought his election and pleaded for his success. On this very platform, Withili these walls,' the great,War Secretary of Pennsylvania placed nki on record his love, his devotion, his belief in the President The echoes of that last grand utterance of Ed win 3L Stanton are ringing in these , walls to-day. From his grave the dead Stanton rebukes the living San ' tor. In the name of millions of our loyal people, in the name of his own comrades the living and the dead, in the name of the . dead Secretary of War, New York -indorses the' nomi nation and asks God's blessing on the cause. The Secretary then called the list of States, and in response the Chair man of each State announced his vote, which was 'unanimous, each Chairman introducing the announce ment with a sentinient as follows Alabama— A: Delegate said— I am instructed • to cast the 20 votes of the Alabama delegation (they are the tried men) unanimously for President U.

Then the chairman;' rising in his place, said : It is a pleasure to the Chair to announce that Ulysses S. Grant has received 752 votes— the entire vote of every State and Terri. tory in the Union. . He resumed his seat; The most trunitlinous and continued cheering broke out. As a mighty echo to the 'words. As it somewhat subsided tie band in the circle struck up, evidently in consequence of some ruidensianding, playing the air of a "Great Cam paign Song." This concluded, the tenor of the song Tendered by a gen ' tlemau standing in tbe,midst of the instruments, the chorus being_ren dered by a line choir of gentierrien stationed just by the side of the band.
