The permanent chairman read brief ad-
dress from manuscript. in which, after re-
turning thanks for the distinguished honor
conferred upon him he said:
1t 10 my good fortune to have known Mr..
Blaine intimately over 80 years. l have
watched his career during that time with un.
usual interest, and have never known any
one actuated by purer motives or governed
by higher standard of morals. His lofty
potriOtism and splendid abilities are
recognized and acknowledged everywhere.
He il always on the American side of every
question. These virtues and these accom-
plishments account for his wonderful magnet
ism and for his nearness to the hearts of the
American people. l have not the honor of q
personal acquaintance with Gen. Logan. but
who in this broad land does not know of his
magnificent order as . soldier and grand
career IS . statesman. The democratic par
ty must be held to its record on free trade
and tariff for revenue only. Too many yet
live who remember languishing trade, scant
employment and poor wages, and the burn
ing of corn in the west for fuel because there
was no other use for it, under the democratic
administration to vote for . party which
threatens a return of that condition of af.
fairs. Our people believe that reasonably
prosperous times are attainable in this coun-
try. The working classes especially ask,
claim and demand that they shall continue
to have an opportunity to earn such wages as
will enable them to live as American citizens
should. With such candidates and such
principles as are set fourth in our platform
success is assured. Victory will be ours in
November as surely as the sun will bless us
with its light.
Secretary Fessenden read a communica-
tion from the Young Mems Republican Club
of New York city, suggesting that they would
