! but II tho Democrats obtained power
there was no Civil Service Reform tha,
could stand before the Buffalo rush fol
D office that would eLsue. Mr., Hen
, bricks had said that he thought sixty
! thousand Democrats should be placed
In Office to reform the country, and a
, Democratic Senator had said that II the
J party succeeded to power he did not
wish TO be In Washington for six
months afterwards, as the hotels, the
board ing houses, the private houses,
streets. and everywhere would be over
RON with ofice-seek ers.
He said the Democrats were always
talking about reforming the tariff, and
although 1t was we'll known that all
tariff bills must originate in the House,
and the Democratic had had control OF
the House for seven years, they had
never made any attempt to alter 1t, until
last Congress, when what was known az
the Morrison bill was framed. They
undertook with this bill TO equalize the
tariff, but ~ 1t was too much trouble TO
consider each article separately, they
struck 20 per cent. off everything. and
called that equalizingit. Why man
might AZ well take this audience and
cut one inch off the head OF every man
In the house, 10 make them all an equal
height.
The Republican party proposes by
the election Of Blaine and Logan to
open up new ora for America, and TO
put her where she belongs, the foremost
nation In the world. The party pro
poses TO protect American Industries,
and see that every citizen, whether he
be native born or adopted, is protected
IN that citizenship. There has been a
great deal said during this campaign
about the Mulligan letters, and when
Blaine's name is mentioned to some
people they will turn away and say.
Mulligan and II you tell them about
how Maine, the State where James G.
Blaine has lived for many. years, has
honored him by electing him TO the
gress, they will shrug their shoulders
and say, Mulligan and If You mention
how Garfield made him Secretary of
State, or how afterwards Maine sent
him to the Senate, they will say Multi
gan, Mulligan, and that Is all you can
get out of them.
He then exploded the SANDER about
the Little Rock Railroad, and said the
bill had already passed the House. and
became law before Mr.. Blaine ever
had anything to do with it, or owned q
dollars worth of its stock. After he
bad induced his friends TO invest in 1t
aid found out what the road was, he
made their losses good, at cost of $780,.
900 to himself.
| These ISLANDERS about Mr.. Blaine had
been originated and been spread broad
cast by certain newspapers, and he said
q man had no redress against their
scandalous attacks. II he sues them for
libel he has very little satisfaction; II he
cowhides the writer, he will not be sus.
tanned by public sentiment, and he can
not call him out to meet him in mortal
combat on the field, as such q course is
now considered barbarous, and conse-
quently he m ust submit to this worse
than righteousness he thought that
thumb b. screw, or the tortures of inQuisi-
tion, than bear 1t. But IL Blaine is
elected, one of the results will be the
checking of such ISLANDERS by the bosses
of journalism.
There are some Republicans who say
they won't support Mr.. Blaine, and
they call emselves Independents, but
they always reminded him of q story
he once heard about an old woman, who
had got the idea In her mind that she
would not be saved, and her preacher
had tried q number of times to convince
her of the contrary without avail. He
finally made up his mind to humor her,
30 one day when she came to him with
the old story he told her that he was
satisfied that she would be lost and 60
down among the devils. She replied
that If she did she intended to sing and
shout, and praise the Lord, and the
preacher rejoined "Well, then, they
won't have you" And that is just the
way it is with these Independents; they
are going into the Democratic party but
they intend to remain Republicans, and
consequently the Democrats won't have
them.
Tho Democratic papers calculate on
Obtaining 1853 electoral votes from the
solid South, and then figure around for
48 more from the North, making the
requisite 20l to elect Cleveland. II you
ask the Democratic editors if there Is
not a chance Of the Republican party
carrying some Of these Southern States
If they send speakers among the people
and conduct an active campaign, they
will tell you no, for full we'll they know
that 1t is settled fact, that no matter
how the vote may stand, 1t will be
counted for the Democratic party, and
nothing but the Almighty can alter it.
In conclusion he said that he knew
very little Of Cleveland, but he thought
it strange that man was offered TO
fifty six million people, TO be placed In
the highest Office In their power 10 be-
stow, who has never made a public
speech, and was hardly heard of
|outside of his own State, until he was
lnom minated for President, and the only
public document he ever sent out to the
country was his letter Of acceptance,

or written that. After paying high
Tribute to the personal and public char
scter Of General Logan, he took his seat,
when he WAS again salutsd with round
after round OF applause, and three cheers
were given for Blaine, Logan and Hig-
gins.
General Hawley spoke for two hours
and thirty we minutes, and although
1.-The weather WAS quite warn, he held
the undivided atten tion Of his auditors
un til the close, and he was frequently
interrupted with applause. The speech
was considers one Of the best and most
convincing ever delivered In this city.
After the meeting number OF gentlo'
men were introduced 10 the General on
the stage, and he WINS also made &C,
