Gen. Blair made . spesch At Msttoen 90
Tuesday afternoon, to the largest gather
ing ever hold in that par: Of tho S'ase.
And on Wednesday evening he spoke 70
10, 900 in Court Square. Chicago. We
clip the following from the repers OF DIS
Chicago speech, in the Times Of Thursday
morning:
In e speech he Gen. B!air) lately made
in III. c,y in which he lived, he said he b.
lieved that Gen Grant would use the Pres
idsntial office - . stepr ing stone to q per
manent dsspotic power, and that be would
never leave The " bite House while he lived.
Some man had reported him - saying that
Gen. Grant wsuld b assassinated. The
meaning Of what be oetually ssid Was, that
Gen. Grant would sssassipats the liberties
Of the country. Fsur years more would
not roll over our hsads, u Grant Was elected,
before military rule wsuld b established
oil over the country. He had seen military
dsspetism established I'll over these States.
Even the last Presidedtssl election Vas car
risd BY the baysnet in ~ doubtful Sts,es
nswspapsrs we're seized and destroyed and
the rights Of the citizens invaded. These
men had familiarized themselves With the
idea Of governing by the bayonet. u, with
these examples before them, majority oil
the people could be- found to vote for Grant
for President, the day had passed whom re.
sistancs could be made to this system OF
government. If the Democratic party failed
in this election, tho republic would fall with
them. We were now in the last struggle
10 dsfsnd end maintain the free Constitu-
ton established BY our ancestors.
