, Here Mr.. EvartS referred to the
promises which, he said, the demo-
cratic party had made and failed to
keep. He quoted Rufus Choate's
words, who when asked which candi-
date he preferred said he believed in
buchanan and Fremont.
Mr.. Evarts referred to the mass
meeting of the citizens of all parties
held at Cooper Union to applaud Gov.
Cleveland as q reformer. Perhaps
these gentlemen believed that Gov.
Cleveland i would remove Hubert
Thompson, of $50 contracts, and Mr..
Davidson, the sheriff. against whom
serious charges were preferred.
"But what is d0ne?' asked the
speaker. The county democracy and
Irving hal1,'I think it is. took Gov.
Cleveland to the Chicago convention
and sent John Kelly down in a cage
under the unit rule. Do we want for
president a man whose statemanship
is measured by the standard of Daniel
Manning and Hubert U. Thompson :?
(Cries of mol l fought for Clay, Zap

and public leader, James q. Blaine;
lgreat enthusiasm, cheers and waving
Of handkerchiefs and hats and for
the soldier and orator, John A. Logan.
[Great applause.]
l tell you the issues are unbrOken.
It was we'll for the convention to
stand by M. Lynch, as chairman for
a single day, but it will be better
thing for the party to stand by five
million of colored people OF the
country for another four years and
keep them from the tyranny of the
democracy.
Free trade is as false as ever; pro.
lection means American Indepen-
dence. We know what the parties
and who the candidates are, and there
will be no difficulty in chosing.
Senator Hawley was the next
speaker, who. in the course OF his
remarks. said: l don't know what
has been the matter with the republic
car party the past six or eight years,
but ! think it is because there has
been the lack OF a good
republican majority in the house.
It is time We had navy in the
United States. l cannot say agree
with all that Blame said in the house
or in his South American letters; but
[ do say these letters showed he was
an American through and through.
One thing is worse than war, and that
is cowardly peace preachers. l don't
want war, but l do want my govern
ment to choose between war and
peace. We have tried to make a be-
ginning to the construction of a navy.
From 1850 10 this date l can show
you from the record that the republi-
can party has been progressive, while
the democratic party has been lag
ging in the rear. | can shake hands
with such men, call them good fel-
lows, and even take a glass with
them; but the last man should ever
want to make friends with is north
ern doughface.
General Grant says justice has nev-
Or been done John A. Logan. l know |
him well; l know he is lncorruptjble.
He is interested IN no jobs and shares |
no plunder: all the world could not !
,educe him. A man in Washington |
odd me he had never heard IN private |
! single word against MIR. Blaine; it |
s only in public that calumny IS
leaped on him.
The republican party is not merely |
he party Of the war OF the rebellion,
)ut a party of living issues. Wenev-
er had a national banking system |
ill the republican party gave it to us.
We have stopped the policy of giving |
lway great grants OF land and will
preserve them for actual settlers.
1 can't endure the thought of
this country to the de-
nocracy. I notice that every one of
he great London papers is against
,ur nominations, and why? Because
treat Britain and America are rivals
n the race for the supremacy OF the
lati0ns of the world.
1t was near midnight when Senator
aawley closed his speech, after
which the meeting Immediately ad-
Ourned with enthusiastic demOnstra-
ions of Jealous work for the party.
