1t seems to me these gentlemen would be semi
angels and semi-Democrats. Laughter.
Mr. Evarts referred to the mass meeting Of
citizens, of all parties, held at the Cooper Union
to applaud Governor Cleveland as . reformer
Perhaps these gentlemen believed Gov. Glove
land would remove Hubert o. Thompson, the
man of 909 contracts and Mr.. Davidson, the sher-
if against whom serious charges had been pre-
ferred, put what was done? Asked speaker ''The
county Democracy and Irving hall. l think 1t
took the name of Gov Cleveland to the Chicago
convention and sent John Kelly Applause
down in the depths in the cage of the unit rule.
Do we want for the president the man whose
craftsmanship is measured by the standard of
Daniel Manning and Hubert o. Thompson!

and will fight, for the orator, statesman and
public leader James G. Blaine, (great enthusi-
asm, cheers and waving Of handkerchiefs and
hats) and for the soldier and senator
John A. Logan, (great applause and cheers)
to tell you the issues are unbroken. 1t was well
for the convention to stand by Mr.. Lynch.as chair
man for single day, but 1t will be better thing
for the party to stand by the 100000 colored
people Of the country for another four years and
keep them from the tyranny OF the Democratic
party. And free trade is the same as ever. Pro-
lection means American independence. We

Senator Hawey, the next speaker, came for
ward amid great cheering, and when he could
make himself heard he said:
II have been feeling for the past two
or three weeks as II must
speak in this cause. Applause.
BEFORE had listened to Mr.. Evarts tonight
thought was right in my belief. Now l know
1 am right What is the Republican party? Not
what it promises to be, but what its sympathy,
its deeds and its victories have made it. That's
what the Republican party Is. We don't need
any platform. Twenty four years Of its history
is the only platform it needs. But, gentlemen,
the time has never yet come when the Republi-
party has been entirely satisfied with its can
didates for the presidential chair
Hawley criticised the Democratic platform and
continued as follows
1.-The Republican party has been reducing tax
alton ever since it came Into power, and will
continue to do until IL goes out OF
power. The Republican party is clear on the
matter of tariff, but doubt much if that subject
will be dwet upon at any great length during the
campaign There is no man in the world who
does not believe in protection for certain articles
l hold that protection Of the citizens from en-
croachment of foreign monopoly is the preroga-
tive of this government. Is there any free trade
nation in the world. There is no European ma
ton which pretends to be as Great Britain is,
nation in the world, and that is only professedly
SO. The cotton manufacturing in that country
paid only about one-twentieth of the taxes
which the American manufactures
have to pay. 1t has been
said is the boast of Great Britain that its drum
beats follow the sun in his course about the
world. 1t would be here proper to say it is the
remorseless beat OF the commercial traveller that
follows the around the world. I don't know
what has been the matter with the Republican
party the last six eight years, but think it is
because there has been talk of good Republi-
can majority in the house and senate. 1t is time
we had navy in the United States. l can't
say 1 agree with all Blaine said in his South
American letters, but l do say these letters
showed he was an American through
and through. One thing is worse than war, and
that is cowardly peace. Cheers and applause
1 do not want war, but do want my government
to be able to choose between and peace.
We have tried to make beginning in this mat
ter of navy from 1860 to this day. l can show
you from the record that the Republican party
has been progressive. The Democratic party
have men who have fought their fight and who
have received its honors, had the Democratic
party not been cowardly party.
can shake hands with those men and call
them good fellows and even take glass with
them, but the last man l should ever make
friends with is northern dough face. General U .
A. Logan. l know him WELL He is an incor-
ruptbe man. He is Interested in no jobs and
shares in and no plunder. ,,All the world couldn t
induce the man in Washington who told me he
never heard in private single word against Mr.
Blaine. 1t is only in public that calumny is
heaped upon him. The Republican party is
not merely party of the war Of rebellion, but
party Of living issues. We carried the nation
al debt on our shoulders lightly as soldier
would carry his knapsack. We never had q ma
tional banking system till the Republican party
gave it to US. We have stopped the policy of
giving away great grants Of land and will pre-
serve them for actual settlers. The American
who is not politician is gentleman. cannot
endure the thought of abandoning this country
to the Democratic party. Every one of the great
London papers are against us in our nominations.
Why? Because Great Britain and America are
rivals in the for supremacy among the
nations of the world.
Near midnight Hawley closed his speech, after
which the meeting Immediately adjourned, with
enthusiastic demonstrations, and pledges of zeal
Gus work for the success Of the ticket.
