spond. as he was wearied with the excessive labors
of the past ten days, attending the convention
at Cincinnati Though there may be deep disap-

same interest for the cause and the flag, which
was manifested during the dark days of the rebel
lion. lApplause]. There is disappointment that
the name of the glorious leader Of the republican
party, James c. Blaine Long continued applausel,
had not been placed upon the ticket; but we

and so admirable platform of principles had
been put torth.s Applausel No leader in this
country was ever stood for more ardently than he
not by delegates from our own State alone, but by
the men of distant Illinois, Nebraska, the slopes
of the Pacific, and all over the country. Loud
applause. The enthusiasm was great ia the
Far West, as was manifested by the delegates
from the Pine Tree State Mr.. Blaine was the
one candidate who had strength from all parts of
the country. lApplausel Ilsd you heard the
expressions on the floor of the convention, on
every hand, you would have been proud that
Maine had produced such a leader. [Applausel
But let us initiate our great leader, and roll up in
September majority that shall give encourage
ment to the republicans in all parts of the coun-
try. lie was glad that the party had put forth so
strong ticket as Hayes ard hceler, and that it
was the second choice of the friends oil Mr.. Blaine
Applause. In recent interview with Mr.
Blaine he had bid him bear his earnest regards
and friendship to those who had so nobly stood by
him in his recent trials. Prolonged applause1
In supporting the ticket nominated at Cincinnati
you will meet his wishes. The omens about us

banners in November. Ohio and New York can
not be counted among the doubtful States. Ap.
