THE rAvoRITE SON OF MAINE INsTRUCTING
HIS OLD FRIENDs-THE FINANcEs AND THE
SOUTHERN QUESTION.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. q 1878.
The last republican rally OF The campaign In the
Quaker City fitting climax to a vigorous
vass. The Hon. James G. Blaine, VINO was born ana
reared In this State, where his early lie spent
came hero to address public meeting this evening,
by invitation of the Union Republican Club, the or.
ganizatlon which entertained Mr. Conkling SO hand
somely two weeks ago. Mr.. Blame spoke at the
Academy OF Music, where a great audience was gath
cred. Fully nve thousand people must have
been crowded into the magnificent building.
Tho guest OF the evening greeted with a reoep-
tien thusiatic that It amounted to an ovation
when he made his bow to the olage and II was
some minutes before the welcoming applause sub.
sided sufficiently 10 permit him TO proceed.
Mr.. Biaines speech confined to Two topcs--
the national finances and the political condition Of
the South Upon the first question his address
an argument in favor OF the national bank system
and OF honest money, ana contained generally the
arguments and illustrations which mark all his
declarations the nnances Upon the Southern
question Mr.. Blaine had not before spoken during
this campaign, as he informed mo, and therefore
give the substance OF ths the concluding part OF his
speech HIS remarks were about as toows:-
r. BLAINE ON THE SOUTH,
We have been tod lar some time past BY a certain
southern question was dennneIy settled. and that
patriotic duty required that It's agitation be stopped
Tue mo 20 mn Sss 10 81 a
cause oi discord. The remedy OF silence In the North
has nm sure, been well ,rsd during me years 1877
wholly tho consideration oil our 1nances, and
tho most radical among us have made but
incidental references to any other subject Is the
suit satisfactoryf Are matters IN the South pro-
crossing patriotic, fair dealing men desiros
Let There is in the Southern States eolored
population amounting TO well nigh nvo millions, all
en.i.Ied 70 suarase on tho same terms as the
thriy-nve representatives, IN Congress and
thlr,y-hve Prssidentlai electors BY reason
OF their negro population. The political
strength Of the great STATE OF New YORK IN the North
is In The South by the colored population
And yet this very population by virtue ot whose
numbers this great political strength Is assigned to
the South is rgidly excluded from all effective par.
tcipaon In It's privileges. and The entire five million
nj coo nso " "a a 10
elect single representative in Congress. Even In
the 5taIesa OF South Carolina and MISSISSIPPI,
where tho colored men largely outnumber the white
men, the result will probably be unanimous demo-
| cratic delegation IN Congress. BY a pcrvers,ty Of
constructon and refinement OF cruelty the colored
men are used only 10 give additional political power
10 the very class and the very party whose principles
aud whose practice they have most cause TO dread.
BY destroying tho political power OF the negro, The
| white men In these States vastly increase
their own influence, and In the States
| have named the Confederate soldier to-
| day casting two votes in the contrsl OF
national policy where tho Union soldier OF Penn
sylvaniA and New England casts but one. With this
tenL1 IL ranky UNJUST not only to the coIored

aud contests OF the future the North

doubled W ramping under foot the rights oil coored

the people OF the Uned States will see that rights
conferred must be rights enjoy and II they fail to

Mr. Blaine's Speech especially tho alusions TO the
negro IN the South, seemed 10 meet with The hearty
| approval OF his listeners.
