I thank you, gentlemen of the con­ vention. for the distinguished honor of your nomination. I tscoept It, feeling the responslbUit/lt throws upon tne.-- I *m unknown to most of ypu who, re­ side outride of this county. I stand in the shadow of the deeds of the illus­ trious men who have heretofore recei­ ved this great honor at the hands of the Republicans.of the Fourth Dis­ trict. But though unknown, and un­ tried a» I ami n the legislative hu*i ness, 1 beg leave to assure you tiiat no one of those distinguished gentlemen has,carried into his office a stronger determination to perform his whole duty, tliau I shall carry with me if elected. No one of those gentlemen bus had a greater enthushtsm lit thfe principles of the Republican party than I. No one of then) would sacri­ fice more to promote its best Interest tlian I. The supreme duty of the Republican party at this time Is to achieveauccss. Before this paramount duty, all per­ sonal ambition should he sunk, and the heated strifes oflocal partisanship should cease and vanish away, this ambition and these strifes are but for a day, the principles of the Republi­ can party are forever--to long as so­ ciety government shall endure. We should strive tor success, because with our success, or following H, comes the best interests of the whole country. Our principles are a* broad and all-embracing a* the bouttdHes of the republic. They tend to protect and defend every < itixen however humble,, in whatever portiou of the laud he may live, and to draw all the states, and every section ot the country to­ gether aud bind them firmly with the indissoluble bands of ITiilou. The Democratic party is our great, opponent. Thirteen years ago, at the close of the war in which every man who fought against the Uuion and who tried to tear in pieces the Consti­ tution, was a Democrat, every one said, aud with justice, too, that the 'Democratic party was dead. It was true that the party was covered with iafamy. it had committed treason, the highest crime against any goferatyetit. Yet It has gradually recov­ ered Its hold upou the country th rough the indifference and the active help of dissatisfied Republicans, until now it reigns In (' nothing bur. the executive to stay Its purposes, unless the House of Repre­ sentatives shall U« retrieved Ma this fairs election. Members of that party have deluded the Capitol with war claims amount- lug to billions of dollars; they have reduced the army to askeleton,so that the country would be powerless fu case of insurrection. They are con­ stantly seeding to antagonize States with the national goveruraeut; they furnished a Court in South Cut oil ua which Insolently defied the courts of the United States. Under £he .name of 4iome 4-tvle it hey have revived the old, doctrine of States' Rights, and are constantly proclaiming it. They have organized a star chamber committee to furnish pretended evidence upon which to imjeach the President and revt>lutionirethe Governmejit, thus destiv> ing confidence in business and inducting hopeless dismay in the hearts of the people. They are now as a party fast veering around iu favor of an irredeemable paper currency, as the crowning woe which they are at pres­ ent able to inflict upon the nation. Against this party of disorder, inls- rule and revolution, the republican party must stand like a rock. It must stand for honest money based upon coin. It has already practicably achiev­ ed resumption and it must attain it.-- l| must see to it that the poor, man, the laborer, the small merchant aud the business man fyas a dollar which is stable and uuiform in value, that lie may calculate to-day ^-ith certainlty what it will be worth in thirty days from now, and that they may not be at the mercy of a Congress which has the power to emit fiat money at its own sweet will. It should stand for the enforcement of the laws iu the broad extent of Our laud. It iriiould see to it that every man is protected every­ where throughout our domain in all his civil rights. The demands of this year upon the Republican party are as important as they ever were.. Let it rise to the height of the occasion. The time is far distant when it can disband or evfn stack its arms for leat. As I said before. I am ready to give my labor to establish and couVorm its puprettiacy. because 1 believe that i is the very bill wark of law, order, justice aud unity. PLATFOKM. The following platform was adopted at the Republican Convention of the Fourth District at Elgin. Sept. 6th: The Republican party of the Fourth gressloual District in the State of uols, in convention assembled, con- ntly appealing to the voter* of this strict for support, and pointing Itli patriotic pride to the past histo- §$• of the Republican party as a guar- that it is now and ever will be ^lie friend of labor, equal right* and Jbod government declare. Illst. That we reaffirm the declara­ tion of principles adopted by the #eptiblican State Convention at Springfield In June last. That we believe It Is the first Wtv of the national Congress to make fm-h changes in existing laws, and to j§tibntit such amendment to the consti­ tution so that the complications and Uncertainties surrounding the last presidential election may not again fecur. 3rd. That while tlie curreney of the country as originated by the Re­ publican party lias been the best that to nation ever saw, we believe that may be made still better; that we #re in lavor of the largest issuing of reenbacks that is consisteirt with the mauds of tiie country and the re- rements of the Constitutloh and t can be maintained at par with h. That ftdly endorsing the pa- tic and consistent course of the Hon i. Lathi'm), we pledge the full sup- rt of the Republican party In this 'strict to John C. Sherwln. the nom- tee of this Convention, with the full determination to again merit the name M tlie Banner Republican District of Ike United States. s . t WASHINGTON COItKraPUNOKNCK.

Z young Sweed,from New Orleans, who was sick when he arrived her% with strong symptoms of thi fever. H* was at ouce Isolated and is now recovering. Although this case has not been de­ clares! to be one of bona tied "Yellow Jack" by the attending physicians, little doubt i* felt regarding it now. A strange complaint has been made against Post Master General Key by a Virginia postmaster, that Mr. Key requested hi* resignation (turned him out of office in other words) solely because he refused complying with Mr. Key's roquest that he should icontribute to the Republicau Campaign fund. The Virginian's reason for declining to do so was the best. He is a conscieu-^ Clous aud thorough Democrat and pro- posed to give what money h^ had to use for political purposes to his own party. The President was made ac­ quainted with tlie facts of the case Just before h«e left Washington on his trip to Minnesota, and It is not known what actiou he takes iu the matter. President Hayes seeuis to have pre­ pared very carefully the speech he made at St. Paul the other day, and to have avoided thtf discussion of politi­ cal questions. , ,It was the longest speech he lias made since his inaugura­ tion, and seems to have been well received by an en®rnious crowd. The President will return to this city In a few days. 9ml, it is said, will go for a short tfme to some of the Virginia Spring*. One most gratifying fact mertioned by the President was that while our Imports In 1873 and previous years were much greater than our ex­ ports, tlie exports in 1877 and 1878 were greater by hundreds of millions than our imports. Some of this I doubt not, is due to the fact that at the Phil­ adelphia Exhibition of 1876 our manu­ factures and other product* became known to, the world. Our agricultural and other machinery need* only to be put side by side with that of other countries in order to make its |uperi- orlty manifest, and 'that i« exactly what the Philadelphia Exhibition did. The Government tost nothing by that Exhibition aud the business and in­ dustry of th* couutry gained immense­ ly..

ADAM* UTTRK Of ACCKFTANCK To Mc**r». E. s. joftyn* Henry Chap* man, and J. Imr Montgomery, mittee, 6c. Gentlemen:--Yours of th* Wth Inst., Informing me of my nomination for Congress by tlie National Greenback Labor Convention, assembled at Elgin on the 14th, Inst., was received. I suppose it has been well under­ stood that I have not sought the nomi­ nation, and would greatly have pre­ ferred that yojr convention should have united in conferring this distin­ guished honor upou some other and more competent person, one better prepared. If elected, to discharge* its important duties; and nothing but the unanimity with which you have united upon my nomination, and tlie interest manifested by many of the old set­ tlers, among whom I count many of my most esteemed frieuds, and to whom I feel strongly attached by the recollection of many pleasant associa­ tions, together with the great interest I feel in the financial issues Involved In tlie pending electlou, could induce me lo accept it. ** At peace, and having commercial re­ lations with all the principal nations of the earth, with abundant harvests, our land overflowing with plenty, with a vast territory abounding in agricul­ tural and mineral resources yet to be developed, with our extended system of railroads, and our wonderful Im­ provements in agricultural, mechanical and mining machinery.all so well cal­ culated to stimulate enterprise and facilitate active industry, it would seem that we otcght to be enjoying tlie highest degree of prosj>erity, and that happiness and1 contentment ought to prevade «B dasses. And }*et. In face of all tiie.se favorable conditions, we are confronted by the fact that busi­ ness Is depressed to a degree never be- J fore known In our history, all our gieatest enterprises suspended, our leading industries paralyzed, inauy of j our agricultural products reduced be­ low remunerative prices, honest aud industrious laborers^ seeking for em­ ployment, aud a very general feeling of (liscouteut and discouragement per­ vading a large class of the people, while another class is reveling 111 ex­ travagance, and "tlielr gains rapidly lncreasiug." Surely all these result* nrast have some underlying cattse* to produce them, aud there seeuis to be a great uawake 11 lug*' and inquiry at th* pres­ ent time, to learn what these causes are. • Tlie re can be no doabt but the pres­ ent depressed condition of business Is largely due to the management or mimnimagement of our Muatice* by the general government. And so fully has the public mind become Impressed with tiiis idea that question of our fi­ nances Is to take a prominent ptac* in of our people, and me Uongtvs*' t* extent, it has never don# before, aud wii! continue to be a prominent topic until fully settled 011 a substantial and satisfactory basis; and upoti that «ef- rncnt. in my judgment, mu*l the future protspeiHW una imvertsUy uf umr whuic \ co antlargely depend. Iti tlie past h istoi y of our nation, until -the com­ mencement of the rebellion., our. cur­ rency had been furnished mainly by a system of banks, which, at different times, had undergone various modifi­ cations, all of which proved unsatis­ factory. and resulted disastrously to the people--especially to the indus­ trial classes.- Capitalists wewauthorlaed to asso­ ciate for banking purposes, and to Is­ sue their notes to circulate as money, and were protected by law; all other persons, however responsible, being prohibited from exercising Chat right, thus strengthening the ns3iiey power by practically making a gift to them of ail the vast millions of paper currency, by which the business of the couutry had been conducted, is- it any wonder, then, that the money power fights hard for a return to, auu perpetuation of tills banking system? These banks, it is true, were requir­ ed under severe penalties, to retleeui their bills, on presentation, in specie. Tills worked well in times of prosper­ ity. when no considerable amount of specie was called for, but in all times of emergency wheu any large demaud was made on them, or likely to be inade, for the resumption of their bills, they suspended, closing their vaults against tlieir creditors, not even pay­ ing out the small amount of specie (hi proportion to their circulation) whiuh they had on hand; their "specie abasia" proving only a delusion aud a snare.-- This was notably true in 1837, wheu every bank iu the United States, btit one, suspended iu a few days. Also iu the suspensions of 1857 and 1861, ' In 1861 we. had, perhaps, in this State as good a banking system as had ever been diviscd. Bused on stock se­ curity with a "specie basis," j*et the recollection of "stump tail" money must be fresh Iu the memory of those who were in business at tkjat time, wheu some of it depreciated as low as sixty-five cents on the dollar. Under these various banking delutiom the losses to the people have been enor­ mous, falling moat heavily upon th* industrial classes, who were hereby robbed of their honest earnings. Thus it remained, after all the wis­ dom of our statesmanship had failed to devise a safe, sound and reliable currency, until the necessities of our government to sustain itself during the terrible conflicts of the great re­ bellion brought into existence a cur­ rency that has proved the soandent and most satisfactory of any ever devised.-- But tlie question to be determined be­ fore this controversy shall end in this Shall this, the "greenback" currency, be made a full legal tender, aud issued in sufficient quantity to answer the re­ quirements of business and Insure prosperity--the amount to be regulated • by the wisdom of Congress--be adopt­ ed and confirmed as the wle currency of our nation ? Or,shall we accept the national banking law, which gives to tlie capitalists all the vast advantages and immense profits of furnishing ali the paper currencv by which the tnisi- Borh *y«te** cannot coexist, >mdth* <s triumph* antandthe other cttettafteA By adopt* l»f and malting permanent the cur. rettey Issued by government, we prao» 11callr reduce, to thet extent, the na» tiotial debt, and, e* aeoMe%tieae*. Iu* •en tatillon. Thus evert tax-payef becomes a stockholder In Ate great na* tioiufl »y*tem, intereeted In epholdlng the government and its credit; and the system also beoomee* bond of union among the States. Based upon all the wealth aud rtossne* Of tlie nation, it can never fail, and we tfcall fievet again be subjected to tfio*e overwhelm* lug revulsions winch have resolted from past defective «HI corrupt bank* ing systems, bringing in tiielr tral* disaster to every public enterprise ami ruin to many of the most active and enterprlslnsr individual*. AM the cur­ rency which the bank* were privilege<| to Issue, was loaned to the people oil their notes, mostly for sixty ©r ninetjf days, the banks holding tfcrese note* ; were able, even when undernwpension not only to defy all penalties, out, bf. discou.it I Kg freely. or hy and pressing colleetl<msf'to"Inflate" ot' "coutract," and thus to enhance or de* press prices at will, holding all the business interests of the country sub* ject to their caprice or avarice; for it is well known thai there Is no organ!* zation in our land us perfect as that of the money power, shrengh it# banlt and insurance presidents and the bond* holders syndicate. Since the national^ currency (greenback) passes through the legitimate demands of business in* to the channels of trade and Industry^ the government that bsoes It hat n# power to contract and expand It, and no motive for doing so-~wbich would give a stability to price* and b«*lnes% heretofore unknown. And now, I itsk^ shall we abandon the greenback I© de#'- strue! ion by its enemies, give oar sup* port the National Banks, allow theni tlie Immense proftt* of supplying out nation with its currency, and giv# them their former control'drer all the ^ business interests of the cotntry. I fancy that, in the coming election, thi* question will be answered by a most emphatic No. I know very well that botli tlie old political parties will claim they are in favor of maintaining greenback, but I know very well that a majority of the rank and file of both parties iu the West, and probably la the East claim to be In per feet accord with us on the question; but the policy of a party Is to be judged by Its act* or by its representative men. and so long as both parties are controlled by those who are opposed to our measure* we caiiuot give tuetti the credit th*jr claim. When all the obnoxious acts of which ? the people complain w#re patted--viz t the omoMtltailoR e#«ilrer, the de* itruttfon of the grte alack m fast at Withdraw*, th# psi-fi Off the «atk>nal th* greenback, aeil that «l«f' ervelt# to th* Industries of th* oanntry. the resumption eet, whieh --at** It neces­ sary for the "government aad tto* hank* while contraction 1* going en, to wltkifr ilrAW from nth<ialatl<iii inn lacMkrtl an I* their vaults large amonnta of monejl' as a necessary preparation far resnmpf tioa--the Republican party were over| wheluilugly In power, and am respon* slble for tliem; and the administration which they planed In power I* atlll beu,i on the same course, a* wltnew the President'* veto of the *llvef hill an4 Secretary Stetnu*! letter t* the '* Honest Money League, ofMltwankee1* which reads as follow*: Mltlt manifest that my public datle* will not permit me to leave this city at that time, or I should be glad to join yen In tlie eiert you are making to aeenre the peepl* of tlie United State* henect money, by which I mean national bank notes, enn- vertable at she will of the holder late gold and sliver coin,** No mention to here made of the greenback, whl shows the evident Intent of the tary and the administration he repre­ sents not to recognize It as honest money. I see It announced in the programing of the Republican St*te Central Com* mittee, for the ^management of the coming campaign that, they are tf claim the paternity of the greenback, aud that they are fn favor of sustain* ing It; but I am at a loss to understand haw a greenback republican--can ex­ plain his consistency in supporting an* administration opposed to all his view* on finance, who has made Its boaste:! civil service reform a by-word and re*' proscli, and who has yielded more to the demands of the still rebel spirit of tHe Smith than the democracy, If in power, would dare to do. and who, I greatly fear, will continue to yield to the still greater demands tjiat are earn* to be made hereafter.
