srEHCH OF MR. BLAINE.
Mr.. Blaine on making his appearance
was received most enthusiastically, and
spoke as follows: =
Gentlemen Of the Conrtntion came here
to-day rather for the purpose Of shaking
hands with old friends and returning
thanks for past kindness than with any
intention OF speeCh-making. l congrat'
ulate you sincerely and heartily on the
unanimity with which you have selected
your candidates. II has been many years
since any consest has marred the harmo-
nv or imperiled the efficiency Of the Re-
publicans OF this district, and I rejoice
that this good feeling is to be preserved
and perpetuated. Since tire second cleo.
ton Of Mr.. Lincoln no national contest
has been more far reaching in its conse'
quenCcs than that now pending. The
Democratic party
REPRESENT IND EMBoDY
all that there is in this country Of disloy,
atty and repudiation. l do not say that
every Democrat is disloyalist or re-
pudiator, but it is patent to the most
careless observer that the converse Of the
proposition Is true.
Mr.. Tilden has the reputation among
his political friends in New York Of be.
ing wary, not to say. n wiry, political
manager. He has also the reputation o.
possessing large wealth and of bcint
ready TO use it topromote his politica
ends. II Is said that he has marked the
State OF Maine as a good field for the In
vestmcnt Of his political funds, with tht
hope ot reducing our majority in Septem
ber. Certain we'll known Democrats
who arc now on the itinerant list in thil
State, are said 10 be part Of
THE MoBILIzED ARMY
Of Tilden, watch them and follow them
and counteract them, and let them, know
that the Republicans Of Maine are not to
be bought, but that il will require all o
Mr.. Tilden's spare cash to keep his owr
troops in hand, and to prevent many o
them from passing over to the ranks o
Republican loyalty and national gooC
faith. Let me conclude gentlemen BY
thanking you most heartily for the over
whelming and embarrassing cordially b
your reception, by expressing the hop,
that as my health grows frmer 1 shal
meet yon again during this most i'm
portant campaign, and meet you Away
with words Of cheer and assurance O.
victory.
Mr.. Blaine was frequently interrupted
by storms OF applause.
A series Of resolutions were then adopt
ed, aud the following ELECTED unboundet
enthusiasm:
Resolved, That the Republicans Of thC
Third district look both with pride ant
satisfaction 10 the long, eminent and in
huential services Of the Hon. James q
Blaine as their Representative in Con
gress; that they cordially tender to hin
their continuous confidence and high re
gard In his new and important sphere o
official duty, and they hereby pledge hin
