The general feeling among all was one of har-
sions of confidence in the success of the Republican
ii ,ket in November next. John r. Lynch said: 81
have not been homo since the nominations weremade
but from letters have received can tell what the
sentiment of the party in the South is. The ticket
is regarded as strong one and is received every
where witt satisfaction. 1t is sure to be elected
and will no doubt carry many of the Southern
States. In Virginia, North Carolina, Mississippi
Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina the Repubi-
cans will without doubt, get majority if there
fair election and fair count, but not sure of
any of them on this account The same may be
said of Alabama, West Virginia and Tennessee,
which can be carried by the Republicans if proper
effort is made, as there is doubt there will be
fair elections in these States. 1t is the duty of
Republican party to make an effort to carry some of
the States and not concede them TO the Democrats
without struggle. In regard to Mississippi say
there is a marked improvement in public sentiment
among all classes in the State. There is growing
sentiment among all classes in this State in favor
a protective tariff which indicates that majority
of the people are in sympathy with the principles
j. ID. Cole iof Florida said the Republicans could
carry that State if they made effort, as there
was great dissatisfaction among the Democrats in
that section and Blaine was very popular here.
M w. Curry of Galveston, Texas, colored dee
gate to Chicago said that although his State was
majority would be greatly diminished this year.
The Republican ticket was very popular among the
young men and would s9a be supported By many young
carry North Carolina, West Virginia, Florida and
possibly Virginia.
Mr.. Blair OF New Hampshire thought Blaine the
strosgest candidate the party could nominate as
far as New England concerned and he would
receive the united support of the party He said the
sequence, and thought it would not change the re-
suit in that State. (which would certainly go for
Blaine. There were many in the movement. he
said, who were well known in the party and who
would be great loss to u.s. but the strength of the
movement was greatly overrated.

The permanent chairman then read a brief ad-
drag N Qff rafr fnrr
thanks for the distinguished honor conferred upon
him, he said: ut is my good fortune to have
known Mr.. Blaine intimately over 80 years. /
have watched his career during that time with
unusual interest and have never known any one
actusted BY purer motives or governed by higher
splendid abilities are recognized and acknowledged
every where. He is always on the American side of
every question. These virtues and these accom-
plishments account for his wonderful magnetism
and for his nearness to the hearts of the American
people. l have not the honor of personal ac-
quantance with Gen. Logan; but who in this broad
land does not know of his magnificent record as a
soldier and grand career statesman? The Dom.
ocratic party. must be held to its record on
free trade and tariff for revenue only. Too many
yet live who remember the languishing trade
scant employment and poor wages, bnrning of corn
in the West for fuel because there was no other use
forit under Democratic domination, to vote for
party which threatens returns of that condition of
affairs. Our people believe that reasonably pros
porous times are attanable in this country. The
working classes especially ask, claim and demand
they shall continue to have the opportunity to earn
euch wages as VIII eEaDle them TO 1--we as American
citizens should live. With such candidates and
such principles set forth in our platform success
is assured. Victory will be ours in November as
surely as the sun will bless us with its light"
