CHAIRMAN JONES' ADDRESS.
Mr.. Jones, permanent chairman read
the following address:
Gentlemen of the committee, [ did
not seek nor did expect this distin-
guished honor, I accept your action
not as a compliment to myself person
ally, but as a recognition of our great
business interests. I beg to assure you
the compliment is appreciated, and ]
thank you for it. In accepting the i'm.
portant position, T have many misgiv-
ings as to my ability to perform the du-
ties involved satisfactorily and only dc
so with the understanding that other
members of the committee will not only
assist, but give me the benefit of theil
superior experience, judgment and en-
o,,c.xy IT,
is my good fortune to have known Mr..
Blaine intimately over thirty years.
j have watched his career during
that time with unusual interest, and
have never known anyone to be accuated
by purer motives or goverae by high.
er standard of morals. His lofty patri.
otism and splendid abilities are recog.
nized and acknowledged everywhere.
He is always on the American side Of
every question. These virtues and these
accomplishments account for his won.
derful magnetism and for his nearness
to the heart OF. the American people. I
have not much Of a personal acquant-
ance with Gen. Logan, but who is there
in this broad land who does not know
his ms gnifcent record as q soldier and
his grand career as statesman? The
Democratic party must be held to its
record on free trade and tariff for rev.
enue only. Too many yet live who re-
member the languishment of trade,
scant employment and poor wages burn
ing of corn IN the west for fuel because
there was no other use for it un.
der Democratic domination to vote for
the party which threatens q return to
that condition Of affairs. Our people
believe that reasonably prosperous
times are attainable in this country.
The working classes especially ask,
claim and demand that they shall con-
tinue to have an opportunity to earn
such wages as will enable them to live
as American citizens should live With
such candidates, with such principles as
are set forth in our platform, success is
assured victory will be ours in Novem-
Der as sure as the sun will bless us with
its light. u Is &. ,.$S5 t&.s s.; [. l5
AT 3:15, after recess, tha chairman
again called the committee to order.
Secretary Fessenden read a communion
ton from the Young Mems Republican
club Of New York city, suggesting that
the club would be able to contribute to
the election Of Republican candidates
in November. Senator Chaffee reported
IN behalf Of the subcommittee to select
headquarters in New York city, that
242 Fifth avenue could be secured. The
report was accepted, and the subcom
mittee instructed to complete arrange
ments. The committee adjourned d, sub
iect to the call Of the chairman.
