Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, was
then introduced, and began bv calling
for three cheers for James Gillespie
Blaine, which was heartily responded

recollections of the service which for a |
years j. q. Blaine, in conspicuous posi- |
tons. had rendered the party and the |
country.
Senator Frye ridiculed the idea that
the Republicans would have to fight a
defensive battle. He eulogizsd Blaine |
and L. gan, and predicted their triun-
plant election 10 November.
Senator Harrison commenced by saw
ing that wherever a thriving popala-
