In tho name of half a century of
Republican triumphs. Illinois bids
you welcome, to prepare for still fur

of the first conflicts nnd the earliest
victories of our party. Fifty years
ago men were listening for the words
of the great debate that guided the
destiny of the nation. In this city,
eight and forty years ago, our pre
decessors, as ministers and Btewards
of the Republican faith, chose their
ttrBt victorious loader. Thon the
hopes and vearnlngs of the people
found expression in their call to him
who had Bpoken as never man spake
when he Btlrred the conscience of
the Nation, Abraham Lincoln, of Il
linois. And hero It was, two score years
ago, thnt we gave our colors into
tne keeping of the Groat Commnndur

without fear and without reproach
wtio never know defent. For the
.Nation, seeking a mnn to enrry on
the work thnt Lincoln had begun,
turned her face again to Illinois and
called for Grant.
Today Illinois once moro offers to
me party of Lincoln and Grant a
loader under whom defent will 1,0 i.

nothing less lb
