Blaine, Arthur and Logan. A voice yelled
above the tumult, "Give US Black Jack
and we will elect him."] When quiet
was restored the speaker continued:
'Not the represe NATIVE of particu-
lar interest, of particular class. Send

candidate, the Wall street candidate,
and the hand of resurrection would
not fathom his November grave. TAP

representative of American manhood
Capplause], representative of that
living republicanism that demands the
amplest industrial protection and op-
portunity whereby labor shall be ena-
Died to earn and eat the bread OF indie
pendent employment, relieved of men,
dicant competition with pauper Europe
or pagan China. Applause He
must be a representative of that re-
publicanism that demands the absolute
political as well as personal emancipa-
ton and enfranchisement of mankind,
a representative of that republicanism
which recognizes the stamp of Ameri-
can citizenship as the passport to every
right and privilege, and consideration
at home or abroad, whether under the
sky of Bismarck, under the palmetto,
under the palm, on the banks of the
Mohawk; that republicanism regards
with dissatisfaction disposition which.
under the sic semper tyrannis of the
Old Dominion would emulate the
slaughter of popular majorities in the
name of democracy; a republicanlsm
as embodied and standing on the plat
form of principles this day adopted by
your convention. Gentlemen, such a
representative man is James G. Blaine,
of Maine."
"GentIeman of the convenlion-l,
has been urged that in making this
nomination every other consideration
should be foregone, every other inter-
est sacrificed, in order and with IL view
exclusively to secure the republican
vote and carry the state of New York.
[Slight applause from back seats-l
Gentlemen, the republican party de-
mands of this convention a nominee
whose inspiration and glorious prestige
shall carry the presidency with or
without the state OF New York Tap
plause]; that will carry the legisla-
lures of the several states and avert
the sacrifice of the United States SEN
ate; that shall sweep into the tide the
congressional districts to recover the
house of representatives and restore it
to the republican party. Three mil
lions of republicans believe that that
man who from the baptism of blood on
the plains of Kansas to the fall of the
immortal Garfield, in all that struggle
of humanity and progress, whenever
humanity desired succor, where love
for freedom called for protection,
wherever the country called for a de-
fender, wherever blows fell thickest and
fastest, there in the fore front of the
battle was seen to wave the white plume
of James A. Garfield, our Henry of
Navarro. THE speaker, seeing that he
had misspoken, closed his sentence by
substituting the name of ''Jamts G.
Blaine, our Henry of Navarre."] NOM
mate him, and the shouts of September
victory in Maine will be re-echoed
back by the thunders of the October
victory in Ohio. Nominate him, and
the camp fires and beacon lights will
illuminate the continent from the Golden
Gate to Cleopatra's needle. Nominate
him, and the millions who are now in
waiting will rally to swell the column of
victory that is sweeping on. In the
name of a majority of the delegation
from republican states and of our glo-
rious constituencies who must fight this
battle, nominate James G.. Blaine, of
Maine" Renewed applause.l
