learned to fear him and he could not
draw them out N passion to-day,
and provoke them to indiscretion, as
he has previously done. 1t was not for
any weakness or lack of effort on his
part, however, nor was it because
they would OF be provoked, for at
me time twenty men were on their feet
bowling at him from the Democratic
side. But it was tecause Cox, who
was in the chair, suppressed by a Wig
erous use of his gayel all demonstra-
tions on that side, and because Messrs.
Hutton and Knott, the men who were
particularly attacked,
KEPT THEIR DISTANCE
and held their party friends down.
At times the scene was intensely dia-
matte, surprising even the scene OF
the amnesty debate. The interest
reached its climax wien Blaine. after
having denied the right of the commit
tee to demand his private correspond
ence, cries out that he would take the
country into bis confidence and read
to A, 900, 900 of people, letters that he
would not allow a committee TO force
from him.
HERE THEY ARE,
he cried, as he drew package from
his pocket and holding it up above his
head. lie turned around so as TO face
eyery one iD the hall. Here they
are" he repeated, ''and | will read
them" The hall burst into a perfect
roar of applause, not only clapping
of hands, but cries of appreciation

side as well as from the galleries.
The occupants of the ladies' gallery
shook their handkerchiefs and para
soils and
JOINED IN THE CHEER.
1t was a sight that has rarely had n
parallel in legislative body. Sammy
Cox's virtuous indignation rose to fever
heat at the demonstrations, and lie
added to the din by pounding for three
minutes with his gravel on the Speak
ers desk. When the excitement quiet
ed down, Sammy announced that if
the scene was repeated, he would call
in the police. Err. Blaine's words are
sent in full by the Associated Press,
but the effect of speech on his auditors
cannot be conveyed to those who did
not hear him.
LATE DISPATCH.
The effect of Mr.. Blaine's speech
here cannot be misunderstood. He
has won back all the friends he lost
last week and increased their number
materially. The anxiety of his sup
porters has been entirely relieved and
is followed by triumphant hopeful
ness. Notes of congratulation have
poured in upon him this evening, and
kilograms from those who have read
the reports of his action in the evening
papers are already beginning to come.
His house has been thronged with call
ers this evening. wishing to express
their congratulations. These are
SOME INTERESTING INCIDENTS
to show the effect of the speech. a
prominent Congressman and a delegate
to the Cincinnati Convention had said
to your correspondent, 81 cannot vote
for Blaine as had intended, l cannot
vote for a man who has something to
conceal" This afternoon lie crowded
MP at the conclusion of Blaine's speech
and was one OF the first to coDgratu-
late him. To night he is a jubilant
Blaine man. In the lunch room soon
after Blaine had finished, member of
the House was heard to remark, ''Well,
gentlemen, Ihave been Bristow man
till now, but when man can get the
Confederates down three times in one
session, as Blaine has, am for him."
A Democratic member of the House
went into the ladies' gallery at the
conclusion of the debate, and remarked
to his wife. in tone of voice that was
audible to every one around him, 1.-The
scene here to day will nominate and
elect Blaine as sure as fate" One of
the Independents in the House said to-
night, II want to trade of my seat so
as to get one on the Republican side.
l want to get nearer Blaine. / don't
like my company" This illustrates
the effect produced. To quote a re
mark made bv one of the House oracles,
''That committee has given Blaine a
terrible shaking mp, but he has lit on
his feet; he always lights on his feet"
