Cheers Blaine was the highest exponent
OF craftsmanship; Logan was soldier and
a statesman who never lost u battle or
shirked Il responsibility. With those men

have one country and one flag Give us

out the world. [Chcers They are the
champions of the great Republican party
the party that fostercd public schools that
saved the Union, and that struck the letters
from four million slaves Applause
The distinguishing characteristic of the
opposing party, the Democracy, is treason
and failure.
Atthe close of his remarks, the President
read the following dispatch, which was re-
ceived with the widest applause:

Judge T. b. Mcfarland was next intro
duced He said it looked as though this
campaign would run itself The boys
would carry it through, and the old men Of
the party would find at least Il portion of
their occupation gone. There Is no doubt
that the most popular man to-day in the
world is James G. Blaine. Applause He
is popular in the Republican party because
he has always been true to its principles. is
a part of its history and an appropriate
and natural leader. His generosity,
libcrality Of view, pluck, courage and
dash are all akin to the sentiment of
California. Among all the leading writers
and thinkers in the East Blaine was the
first to see the great evil that would arise
from the unrestricted influx of the Asiatic
hordcS from China. He said he heard of
but one objection to Blaine and that was
that there was too much of him. They
were afraid Blaine would bite somebody
or get into a war with a foreign power He
was not afraid to trust him. He was man
OF acknowledged energy. enterprise Re
publiCanism, patriotism and AmeriCauism.
He said that experience shows that power
makes a radical more conservative Ifanv
foreign government undertakes To wrong
an American citizen, Insult the flag of our
nation, or miStrcat an American Minister.
Blaine viii say quit that, and they will
quit. The nomination for Nicc-President
is the best that has been made for fifty
years. In fact the ticket has no tail Turn

YOU please. There is no better man in the
United States than John \. Logan, unless
1t Is James g. Blaine. Applause. Logan

soldier and Il civilian. The speaker re-
ferred To his military achievements at Don

Of the immortal Mcpherson. Logan has

ticket is invincible. Bring forward your
Democratic champions, and he who does

Grove L. Johnson, the next speaker, said
the nomination of Blaine and Logan is n
matter of great moment and deep signifi-
canoe, and means a great deal for this State
and nation In this State il Will so unite
the party that at the coming election the
Republicans Will elect six Congressman and
a majority of the Legislature, which will
secure Us another United States Senator

| The people have broken up the machines
and rings. and the peoples choice has been
nominated 1t means that the masses
will be heard and consulted on this
