WINDOW, OF MINNESOTA.
Mr.. Drake, of Minnesota, who looks
enough like Blaine TO be bis brother,
then offered the naIpd Of Window, OF
Minnesota. 1t would seem that lndOIl,
of Minnesota, Is very remarkable per

GRANT, OF ILLINOIS.
The roll went op till New York was
called. ihen arose, mighty cheer.
Conkhng also rose, and, in addition to
the Grant enthusiasm evoked the per-
soDal compliment to the man himself
was intense and immense. MIR. COnkling
jumped 10 the platform aud Then to re-
porter table, where for a few minutes
he was kept like statue of Apollo and

"When," said he, 'we are asked from
what 5 ate he hails,our sole answer shall
be, He halls from Appomattox."
Then he went Oh with great delibera-

Then came again the shout and al
uproar great and long. A flag, Oh

was lowered from the gallery and al

"THE GREATEST EFFORT"
Meantime Conkling proved himself a
consummate actor. He rested his
pockets, nodded To reporters, looked fol
moment at two pretty girls i'll The
gallery and then ven. on. he made d
point when he said that "Grant wa'
never defeated in peace or in war" anC
thai as he had 'nevoi forsaken Lhi
people" 81 they would "never forsakt
him." He paid glowing tribute to tht
most illustrioas n Ime on earth; 10 hi
sympathy with the lowest and poores
of Gods creatures; to the fact that il
spite Of all the honor paid him abroa'
he had come home more an American
than ever, and to his modesty under fir
of the attacks of the press at home.
"Ihe name of Grant," said he, "wil
glitter like star in the diadem of tn
republic when those who have vilifie,
him havemouldered in forgotten graves.
He referred to him as the very geniu
OF common sense, and illustrated tn
terms he pronounced at the time {

appreciation of the best kind Of recoI
struction. He hit Blaine hard when h
said:-
"Witb him We shall have no defensiv

arrows have all been aimed at him an
they lie broken and harmless at his feet.
Several times the silly audienc
annoyed him exceedingly by their Il
timed enthusiasm, and he turned
disgust TO the appreciative OF the col
