Remarks to the Republican Club of Danville, Indiana on Receiving the Republican Nomination for President in Indianapolis, Indiana

June 25, 1888

Gentlemen—I am very much obliged to my Hendricks County friends for this visit The trouble you have taken to make this call so soon after information of the result at Chicago reached you induces me to say a word or two, though you will not, of course, expect any reference to politics or any extended reference to the result at Chicago. I very highly appreciate the wise, discreet and affectionate interest which our delegation and the people of Indiana have displayed in the convention which has just closed at Chicago. [Cries of "Good!" "Good!" and cheers.] I accept your visit to-day as an expression of your confidence and respect, and I thank you for it. [Great cheering.]
