"Long" Jones spoke in favor Of an ef-
fort in the South.
SENATOR BLAINE SPEAKS.
When "Long" Jones concluded, loud
calls were made for "Blaine!'' 'Blaine!"
The Maine Senator sat still for some mo-
ments: but Governor Jewell introduced
him, and the Senator spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman,-I hope it will be OBJ
served that all that has been said in regard
10 abandoning The South has been by south
ern men. [Applau>e.l think il is fact,
and hope the Omnipresence OF the press
will get that, and it will not be said that any
northern Republican has advocated that line
OF polcy. am very sure that no one here
has ventured TO say on behalf OF the north
ern community that they countenance that
policy. | desire 10 say | wish TO direct in
that spirit, and 30 far as shrinking, sir,
from having it published, | wish all

and bosh do nothing toward carrying 1t

you scatter them you do nothing. Among

vember. Now docking at John Sher-
mani, assume that Ohio can take
care OF herself [applausel, and, there
fore, the next point in the game is
TO get the State OF Indiana. And the
whole force OF this committee, after they
have exhausted their strength in helping
Maine, should be put with resistess energy
into Indiana and Ohio, and after you have
carried Maine and Indiana you can go south
with the greatest courage. You will get
very respectable audiences, and you will
find some gentlemen that will tell you that,
after all, they always liked certain features
In the policy of the Republican party.
Laugbter.l have had men come to me ana
saw that, after all, there were many things
about me that they liked. There is nothing
that will cleate so clear perception OF
the policy OF the Republican party as the
vote OF the North. Now reverse that pro-
posiion. Let disaster overtake us in Maine,
and let it be followed by disaster in Indiana
and by close fight in Ohio; after that am
not anxious to accept the invitations OF my
friends from the South TO 90 down there.
laughter There would be quite con-
trast between the two receptions. don't
believe it is possible 10 represent the differ
ence consequent upon the one state OF facts
and the other, and, therefore, the practical
thing is TO carry the northern States;
then you can go south safely. The
electoral votes OF the South belong
to that class OF blessings that come
20 the Republican party just when
they do not need them, and just when they
find out that we are going 10 have an un-
majority from the North, and
know that my friend from West Virginia
and my friend COnover, OF Florida, will
give good account from those States. But
II we neglect to give the rounding, sound
ing, bounding victories in the North your
work will go for nothing. 1 believe that
the Republican party has awakened. be-
leve that we are going to carry the coun-
try. Why, some OF our independent
friends, who are in the habit be-
tween presidential elections OF paying no
attention TO politics, are waking up ID the
dangers OF solid South, and they are
warning the people on the subject. They
are bringing united Republican sentiment
throughout the country to believe in the
Judgment OF the men who fought the war
rather than in that Of the men who fought
against the Union. In other words, the
peopIe are beginning to see the folly OF sur.
rendering the Government into the hands OF
the South. That is the strong point in our
case to-day. They cannot delude you. Han
cock is the first man that ever took part in
a great war that was rather ashamed 10 have
