pause.) You are not going to do It'll You are going
to elect MI Reed, and you are going to march In
| the column that marches to victory on Monday
next and you will all be about the happiest set Of
men In this district that be found outside or
inside Of the State of Maine. Applause.) think
our political opponents will need little commisera-
| ton. You mustn't be handkerchief; treat them
kindly ana pass them over to Grover Cleveland with
his personal purity and his independent allies and
| let them sympathize with each other. Qaughter.)
You have come here tonight to listen to our dis
| tinguished friend from Ohio, and he has
come here to talk not only to you but to the Ameri-
| can eltizens OF his own nationality. They are
breaking away, thank God, from the thraldom in
which they have SO long been held and they are be-
ginning to realize that this government now that it
has got to be more than 100 years DID, is worthy of
having an American policy that is worthy of an
American name. (Applause)
It is about time thai we should speak, and speak
IN the interests OF peace, too, to all the nations of
the earth, that they must concede to America and
American citizens every right that the law guaran-
tees them. 1t must be known and felt in the
hottest parts OF the earth that wherever the Amer-
flag floats it floats the ensign of protection to
| the American Citizen whether that citizen be ma
tive born or naturalized. tApplause). We want
more pronounced policy in our diplomatic service
| speak of what know. / take is you have mer-
chants here engaged in Cuban trade. They will tell
connected with that trade. it is true we demand
ed OF Spain that she shall treat our commercial in
terests as they are treated by other civilized powers
| on this globe (Appause). 1t is only necessary to
ask that which is just right and to submit moth
ing on earth that is wrong. (Applause). Let that
policy be announced and it is guarantee of peace
not of war. War arises from neglect, from allow
ing things to go skies and sevens; but when it is
well known that we assert what is simply our right
that r1gnt VIII be conceded and that done, o, how
this old republic will stand in the eyes of the
world! and we will aid, by efforts in sending it
away down In the ages to come. Great applause).
At the conclusion OF Mr. Hamlin's speech /
which was the occasion for another outburst of
cheering, the Blaine and Logan Gee Club
sang, when Blaine IShall lead to Victory in
November" which was persistently encored,
and they sang, "Ohi We are the Riff-Raff
Boys
Mr.. Cunningham then read the following
item from the Boston Pilot, saying that was
| one reason why Rev Mr.. Pepper was here:
| We can assure Mr.. Blaine, from our daily inter-
course with the readers of the Pilot, that the
mas Of VINO ssS at
the Chicago Convention, 1.-THE Irish may go, and be
damned" They are not going to be damned; and
likely to effectually damn Mr.. Braggs political pos
sibilities. MIR. Bragg has an easy name to remem-
| Der.
! Mr.. Cunningham thep introduced Rev. Mr..
Pepper, who was greeted with great applause.
The following is brief abstract:
MR.. PEPPERS REMARKS
| He loved the Republican party for the splendid
| and magnificent record it has made. In 1861 the
1 London Times said there was no patriotism in the
American heart. Lincoln issued his proclamation
| and bUO,UUO OF Americas sons responded TO the
| proclamation and thousands of them died in the
freshness of the morning and thousands in the ma
| turity of lifes October. He was proud of the mag
nicent party because it gives the lie to the decara
| ton of the London Times 1t announced to the
universe that patriotism was not dead but only
sleeping on the mighty altar Of the great American
heart. He said that God had always been very good
| to him and he didn't allow him to come TO this
country until after the Republican party was
| formed so that he had no chance to become Demo-
GRAFT. (Laughter) He thought that every citizen
ought 10 be proud to be member OF this great
party which struck off the shackles from
| four million slaves and made liberty
national blessing from Maine to the golden
| sands of California. He was proud OF the
| party because it has made such splendid record
for the protection of American industry. He cited
the instance of Ireland which formerly had pro-
tective legislation but England established free
trade and the result was in Ireland of the worst
| famines the civilized world has ever known; thou
sands of Irish people dropped into their
| graves as the result of free trade established by
! England. 1t was during this famine that he first
| saw flag of this country. The American Congress
appropriated 100000 to feed the suffering Irish,
and all but thirteen OF the Democrats in the Senate
and House of Representatives voted against the APP
! preparation. james X. Polk, then the Democratic
| President, said that If the bill passed he should
veto it. Grover Cleveland isn't the only hear less
| vetoer. Polk preceded him but he died before the
passage of the bill and Ireland got the relief. He
was proud of the party because it has made grand
record for citizenship The constitution OF the
United States says ALI persons born or naturaized
in the United States shall be deemed citizens of the
United States and no State shall abridge the priv
! ileges and immunities of citizens of the United
| States. The brain that conceived that and the
hand that wrote it the brain and hand of james
| g. Blaine Qmmenso applause)
! MIR. Pepper continued in an eloquent address to
! the naturalized citizens, giving them many cogent
reasons Why they should throw off the yoke that
! has been kept upon them by the Democratic party
and come into the party OF liberty, freedom and
| protection to their rights
Hon. Thomas Ell. Dudley of New Jersey then
followed in thirty minutes speech upon the
tariff. His long residence in England gave
him the opportunity to know what he was
, talking about and he maintains that the neces-
stiles of life are not as cheap in England as
they are in this country while labor is also bet
ter paid here. He gave full EXPOSED Of the
| plans, purposes and doings of the Golden
! club of England.
: After the conclusion of Mr. Dudey's re-
marks, although it was then ten o'clock the
! vast audience kept their seats, determined to
| hear from Judge West of Ohio. Upon his ris-
/ ing to address them perfect storm of applause
ensued which was renewed again and again.
Judge West spoke for half an hour, contrast
ing the records OF the two prominent candi-
dates or rather the record of one with the want
OF record of the other His description OF the
Democratic platform was ludicrous in the ex-
IRENE and his stories illustrative of the several
points convulsed the audience. No mere alb.
| stract could do him justice and lack Of
| space forbids full report.
At the conclusion of Judge Vests remarks
three rousing cheers, the audience rising, were
| given for the blind orator, Judge West, and
three for Hon. Thomas B. Reed
