BAKTINES ENDORSEMENT OF BLAINE.
II. F. Bartine was called upon and made a
brief but eloquent review of the political and
military record of Grant and Blaine. At the
mention Of either name the speaker was in
terrupted with rounds of stamping, SO evenly
divided between the tive that it was ilapossi-
bic to tell which was the favsrite. He recount
ed the brilliant military achievements of Gen.
Grant upon the different battle fields where
ba I Ia, 6
held the fla, of the Union, and at the close OF
some of his well rounded periods there wsuld
be a burst of applause. When Oh the ether
hand he ealegised the splendid record of
Blaine as statesman and his triumph upon
the floor of the Z. S. Senate the demonstration
OF the crowd would be just as hearty.
AGAINST A THIRD TERN.
The speaker strongly opposed the idea Of
placing General Grant IA third time before the |
people as Presidential candidate.
He believed that it was net necessary to have |
4 military President, and much less have him
,or a third tlme. He believed that his nomi-
nation would weaken the strength of the Re-
publican party all over the Union and ieopar-
iIse its chances In the great contest of 1880
There was nothing against Grant he re-
pected and henorsd the man, Who was both
statesman andaa soldier, but he believed
Ames q. Blaine to be just at this time the one
round when the Republican forces could
ally with the full assurance of success.

lffereHces which had brought defeat upon
he Republican county of Ormsby two years
60 There had been dissatisfaction in the l
inks growing out of the disposition On the '
art of few men to control the party. He
eheved that the element which bolted had a r
ERECT right to do so, as the right to vote ac- I
'rdlng to mans conscience was open to ALL a
e hoped that in the Presidential contest c
lie Republican party of Ormsby would close
. the old wounds, bury the differences of the {
'st and effect reconciliation by Rwhieh they a
uld stand shoulder to shoulder and still be t
e banner Republican county of the State. Il

It their best man to the front. While he
d nothing against Grant he believed that

ne until the Convention met, he would be r;
sdy to pail off his coat and work with a :.
