And referred very feelingly to the conditions or complexion of the convention of today to that of twenty-five yearB ago, mentioning the* prominent men of our county he had f|et there, and who had since passed over the river, and today he met in their plaoes a young Democracy, he trusted would prove as true and faithfuj as those gone before in the interest of their country, and with their aid and council the work could only prove successful. We today commence the work of another campaign, one of importance, great questions which call for statesmen of nerve and judgment, men who would reflect credit on the party and its principles. He was glad to see in the convention despite the inelemett weather znen from a distance which showed that they were willing to perform their duty as citizens and as Democrats. With your aid we will have a campaign that will give us good officers for our county. Let us hive forebearance, good temper and be rneD, and all will be well. Again, I mast thank you for the honor you have conferred upon me, and .1 take it as a reward for my faithful work in the party.

He bad not the slightest personal feeling against the few who saw fit to vote against him and he was a personal friend of the gentleman who opposed him, and of his entire family.
