| ] have no patience with
! amy man WHO, lor nlillN'll UT any otll'I
person, would take his chances for success
| In u political convention and when
disappointed would seek To thwart
! the action of the convention.
Blaine and Logan have been selected
! from among millions of their country
men To represent, not them
selves, but the Republican party
of the United States. They rep
resent the American Union, one
! lil n
from the pcrils of secession and disun-
| ion. They represent strong National
government, able to trust in time not
only To protect our citizens from foreign
| tyranny, but from local cruelty,
intolerance and oppression. They rep
resent that party in this country which
would scorn To obtain or hold power by
dcpriving by crime and fraud more than
Il million men of their equal rights as
citizens. They represent II party that
would give to the laboring men OF our
country the
PROTECTION
of our revenue laws against undue COM
petition with foreign labor. They
represent the power, achievements
and aspirations of the Republican
party that for now, twcnty-iour
! years has been greatly trusted
| by people, and in return has greatly adj
I y
wealth, Intelligence. courage and hope,
and in the respect and wonder of man
| kind. \ generation younger is
coming to the front in the South as
well as North, and they arc determined
to overthrow the narrow Scctionalism of
the Democratic party. They live in the
mountains and plains of the West. they
ginia, North Carolina and Ten
liberty-loving ,laborers in every State;
they come from the fathcrland; they
come from old Ireland; they are active
spirits, native and naturalizcd, of II
generation of freemcn who never felt the
incubus of slavery, and who wish
only as Americans to make stronger and
plant deeper the principles of the Repub-
lican party. Every advance, every re-
form, every improvement, the protection
of your labor, the building of your navy,
the assertion of your rights as frccr men,
the maintenance, of good money,
A GOOD DOLLAR;
Good in every land, worth u dollar, is
gold. All these objects desired must
await the movements of the Republican
party. 1t may be slow, but if you
turn to the Democratic party You
will always find it watching and wait
ing the good, steady citizens of the oldcn
and the times before the war. 1t is said
Blaine is cold and aggressive; that
he will obstruct the business interests Of
the country. ! would like to try such Il
President. lie might shake OF some of
the cobwcbs Of diplomacy and invite the
attention of mankind to the
existence of this country. There
will always be conservatives
enough in Congress and incrtncss
enough in the Democratic party to hold
in check ever rs brilliant II man rs
james G. Blaine. What We want
now is an American policy broad
enough to embrace the continent,
conservative enough to protect every
man-poor rs we'll as rich-and brave
enough to do what is right whatever
stands in the way. We want protcc-
ton to American citizens and protcc-
ton to American laborcrs, Il free
vote and a fair cOunt-an assertion that
all the powers of government are doing
what is right. 1t is because believe that
the administration of Blaine and
Logan will give us such policy; and
capable Of it, that ! now invoke your
aid and promise you mine to secure the
ticket Cheers.
SENATOR HAwLEY,
of Connecticut, was then introduced
and began by calling for three cheers for
James Gillespie Blaine heartily
responded tol, and one more for
JOHN a. Logan. Then some one
shouted three cheers for Hawley. Loud
cheers. The Republican party, he said,
was not made of one or fifteen hundred
bred men of Boston any more than
the mississippi river. These good men
might try to establish new party of the
future but the Republican party had the
good will of the business and
had the name and did not propose to
discontinue. Cheers. Gen. Hawley |
then spoke of the glorious achieve
ments of the Republican party, and
in concluding, said there never
was a presidential nomination that more |
fairly represented the actual choice of
the people. Cheers. He bowed to it, |
he respected it and he had no doubt of
it's success. Loud cheers.
SENATOR MALONE
declared the Republican party ofNirginia
knew no higher duty than to support
and heartily the nominations

electoral votes of Virginia, by constitu-
bourbon methods, "san culottes" and
the shotgun would, "by the eternal" be
given to Blaine and Logan. Loud
cheers.
Senator Frye ridiculed the idea that
the Republicans would have to
fight defensive battle, eulogized
Blaine and Logan, and predicted their
election.
