THE REPUBLICAN POSITION. ...
No man can misunderstood tho position
Of the Republican party on this issue. We
may be wrong, but We deceive nobody.
We are for protective tariff, and il neces-
sary to put the tariff up higher We will do
it if [ Loud and prolonged applause,

If you ure Il Democrat and a protection
ist, vote for Mr.. Blaine. | you arc Re-
publican and free trader, vote for Mr..
Cleveland. [Cries Of That's risht."l We
do not want free trade votes. We arc Il

mouths shut or tell IL lie. Wild chGcringl
II there is depression and i.llencss in the
country it is not BECAUSE OF over pro.
duction, but because OF too much i'm

done TO remedy that if we are victorious
this year. Applause. ~ g2=r. gsas~4
The Republican party is also in favor Of
enabling tho people to protect themselves
by educating them at the expense OF the
Government. Applause. II education
becomes general i'll this country, the
brains Of the American people will bury
the Democratic party out Of sight.

The position OF tho Democracy on this
subject was shown by the factthat in the
late Democratic House the bill providing
for the establishment Of free schools in
the States OF the Union supported by
money from the National Treasury, appor-
toned in proportion to illiteracy in
the States, Law on the Speakers table Tor
sixty days, while the Democratic majority
wlangied among themselves over the Nor
rison bill. This bill, which was thus al
lowed to die, had in it no politics but hui
manity and q wise patriotism. For this
the Democratic members had no voice, no
vote. [Applausc.] ~ ' 'i'si
THE CANDIDATES.
Moreover, the Republican party is in
favor Of a large, wide, liberal development
OF the internal resources OF this country,
which will make OF all its rivers high
ways 10 bear the commerce OF the interior
to the gulf and to the sea. |Appause.

story Of the Republican party is the story
Of james G. ; Blaine. [Renewed cheering,
Blaine's career FROM the Maine I.esisla-

Twice had lie been defeated butat last in
spite Of bitter opposition and the influence
OF official patronage, the common people
nominated him in June, and they will
elect him in November. Vest Virginia

The changes Of sentiment through which
the Democratic party has passed in lis
