Now, what did Mr.. Blaine say thai
should 30 stir up the indignation Of q
blasphemous mischief maker. He
thanked the people of Maine first fol
their grand support. Next he thanked
the people Of Pennsylvania for the
magnificent plurality of 81 900 tina
they gave him 4; indeed. he thanked the
Republicans everywhere for the gene.
rous support he had received. This
was very patural for Mr.. Blaine to
do. But then here comes his offending.
He referred to the causes of his de-
feat, and blamed it upon the suppress.

and North Carolina. These States

They have forty eight electoral votes.
which were cast solidly for the Demo
cratic candidate, simply because the
colored voters who are in a great ma
jority in those States, and nearly to q
man desired to vote for Blaine, were
deprived by violence and trickery Of
their privilege of voting.
We are not surprised tia. the Herald
should be moved in some manner, as
Mr.. Blaine in his vigorous manner
showed how elections were carried in
the South and how by such elections
the rights Of six million of voters in
the North have been crushed out
Felix trembled while Paul preached
to him Of temperance and judgment
to come, 80 the Herald with anything
but contrite spirit shakes with rage
as Mr.. Blaine exposes the methods by
which the rights and liberties Of the
people are subverted by violence and
tyranny in the South.
Mr.. Blaine is right. Well may the
loyal people of the nation be alarmed
at the advent of q solid South to
power. The Democratic party riding
rough shod into power over 800, 900
crushed and usurped votes in the
South 10 something to alarm sober, re-
fiecting people. Every word Mr..
Blaine has uttered Is true, and being
true should we not ask ourselves where
we are drifting? The Herald reviles
Mr.. Blaine because he tells the truth,
and because by telling 1t he inteferes
with the carrying out of the grand plan
of usurpation by which the solid South
by the aid of 66 electoral votes in the
North is vaulting into power. >,
Mr.. Blaine is right when he say,
there cannot be political inequality
among the citizens of free republic.
He is right when he says there canno
be minority of wbite men in the
South ruling msiofty of white mer
in the North. he is right when h,
Gays patriotism, self-respect, pride, pro
lection for person and safety for coun
try, all cry out against it. He is RICH
when he says the very thought of i
'stirs the blood of men who inheri
equality from the pilgrims who Hrs
stood on Plymouth Rock, and from
liberty loving patriots who came to tn
Delaware with William Penn.
He rikes a responsive cord in ever,
Liberty loving breast when he says i
becomes the primal question Of Ameri
can manhood. The people agree witt
him when be saysit demands q hearin
and settlement, and that settlemen
will vindicate the equality of Amer
can citizens in all personal and civil
rights. The grandness of Mr.. Blain
looms up in the concluding paragrap
of his great speech. He shows no II
sentiment, no pique no spite. He has
soul far above that and as enchante
thousands listen with breathless ir
terest upon his sentences, he manifest
the kindest feelings for his successfl
competitor in the following words:
