Shall that banner triumph again?
Commit to the bearing of that chief
A voice: James g. Blaine, of Maine
TCheers,1 commit it to the bearing of
that chief, the inspiration of whose IL
lustri Gus character and great name will
fire the hearts of our young men, stir
the blood of our manhood and rekindle
the ferVOr of the veteran. and the clos
ing of the seventh campaign will see
the holy ensign spanning the sky like
bow of promise. [Cheers. Political
conditions are changed since the acces-
sion of the Republican party to power.
The issues of struggling freedom and
bleeding humanity, which cOpvulsed
the continent and aroused the republic,
rallied, united and inspired the forces
of patriotism and the forces of human
ity in one consolidated phalanx; these
great issues have ceased their cOnten-
tiOns, The subordinate issues resulting
therefrom are settled and buried away
with the dead issues of the past. The
arms of the solid south are against US;
not an electoral gun can be expected
from that section. If triumph comes
the Republican States of the North
must furnish the cOnquerlng battaliOns
loom; from the mine, the workshop
and the desk; from the hut of the trap
per on the lonely Sierras; from the hut
on the frontierSman on the banks of
the Hudson, the Republican States
must furnish these cOnquering battal-
ions. If triumph comes, does not sound
political wisdom dictate and demand
that leader shall be given them, whom
the people will follow, not as conscripts
advancing by funeral marches to GER
tain defeat, but grand civic hero
whom the souls of the people desire
and whom they will follow with all the
enthusiasm of volunteers as they sweep
on and onward to certain victory.

That will carry the legislatures of the
