Address by the National Committee.
The Republican national committee halls in
the glorious victories already WIN a sure omen
OF the greater victory that is close at hand. Yer
mont is still the star that never sets. Maine
captured in 1880, rebukes SANDER By a plurality
of 10000, a gain of L3 per cent of it's entire vote.
West Virginia, in place of 1000 plurality fos
Hancock, now falls below 3,000-a Republican.

1853 votes of a solid South may be broken In
November. But the result In Ohio ia Q
revolution and a prophecy. Only q year

publican congressman. Holding the state and
local offices and the whole machinery Of cleo.
tions, the Democrats scattered corruption
money with lavish hand, colonized voters, i'm.
ported professional repeaters. and in spite of the
most strenuous efforts TO enforce the law against
them, cast many thousands Of fraudulent votes.
Because Of this power they had chosen to stake
all upon that state, declared that it would fore
shadow the result in November, and were
strongly certain Of success. They filed
the air with Islander. Local issues lee
many voters to disregard national ques-
tions. Against such odds the magnificent
victory is a prophecy of 40. 600 plurality for
Blaine and Logan in November. With the ratio
of gain in other states. it foreshadows an in
crease Of zoo, 600 in the Republican national
vote, and the largest popular majority ever given
to any candidate. These victories show the de-
termination Of the people that as Lincoln, Grant
and Garfield were slandcTed in vain, so the fore
most statesman Of to-day shall not be driven
from the peoples work by the tongue Of
malice. They show that the Republican party,
which was the fist to resist and uproot the
dogma of perpetual allegiance" to Q
foreign power, is chosen by the nation to defend
all rights OF American citizens abroad. They
show that 80 long as the Democratic party rests
all hope Of success upon a denial of free suf-
frage in the Southern states it will ask In vain
the confidence of any state where q free vote In

BENEFITS OF PROTECTION.
They show that the people will not abandon
the protection Of American industry, under
which the country has gained twice as much in
twenty years as 10 gained in all its previous his.
tory; the protection of American labor, which
has lifted wages 81 per cent higher here than In
England. The people see what stagnationa DEM
ocratic first firm step toward free trade" has
caused within the past year. Nine months ago,
flushed with victory and Boosting of certain sue
eesses, the Democratic party made no secret of it's
blind adherence to British theories of free trade.
Now neither a deceitful platform nor y dumb
candidate avails to check the stampede from the
party. For it's voters know that protection has
made the rewards Of labor greater here than In
any other country en- earth.
The national committee appeals to the people
to make the victory decisive. It Is no time for
overconfidence, or for neglect of any proper
effort. Bare success is not enough. 1t is time
