OF men, can set themselves up as dictators to
tne american people, as to what they shall do.

tne United States, nor the Republican party,
are ready to yield their rights orprerogatives to

not control. [Applause]. Our government is
QUILT upon the theory that the people shall
rule, and the Republican party upon the same
theory demand that the people shall control.

condition Of the old and effete monarchies
where the monarch commands and the people
obey. With us the people are the monarchs

country have no generals to follow, and they

Senator Hale's Speech.
Mr.. Hale being loudly calico for was intro
duced by the chairman, and was received with
cheers. He said:
Fellow-citizens = Said Gen. Logan to me
me other day as we pulled out of hot and
dusty Washington: "Whom shall we see and
what shall we do in Maine 2" And said to
him in reply, II want you, General, to get a
Maine welcome; want you to be sure to re-
ceive welcome at Augusta and to take you to
my own home to receive the greetings OF Ellis
worth. But above all, General Logan, do
not mean thas you shall leove the state till
you have had a BOngor welcome" And TODAY
my friends, the demonstration that you make

who have come here - our candidate
Tor two great offices of the Republican party,
put Is worthy OF yourselves, and it is fitting
thing that there should be a popular demon
stration In favor of the candidates Of the Re-
publican party this year, for if ever in the
history OF parties, from the day when the
Republic was organized down to the present
time, the people have got up in majesty and
have spoken the command and determined
upon and enforced a popular nomination, it is
In the nomination of Blaine and Logan at the
head OF the Republican ticket. This thing
was not brought about by management or
nnesse. These nominations that were made at
chicago were not result of the long and
subtle laid plans of cunning men; they did not
emerge from caucuses and secret conclaves,
and laying wires and bringing political instru-
mentalities to bear upon any representative
body OF men, but the American people in
their community, speaking directly from their
districts, sent delegates to Chicago to nominate
one man for President of the United States,
and they followed those delegates
there by tens of thousands to see
that their wills should be obeyed. No alleea-
ton aas been made anywhere that any trickely
or corruption or fraud tainted that convention
1t was not dominated, my friends, by patron
age and by Office holding elements; it was all
done notwithstanding the efforts of those who
we're there representing patronage and at last
after all preiminaries had been gone through,
after an organization had been accomplished
with all the advantages of the Temporary
organization and permanent organization
against him and the friends of the various cam
dldates had done their best to secure their
nomination, voice like thunder called for the
name of Blaine. cloud cheers)
Mr.. Hale continued at some length and then
referred to the time, twenty years ago to-day,
when John Logan with his rined cannon at
hanesRw mountain made the flag of the
enemy trail in the dust before the onslaught of

many brilliant victories that he won. He
went on conquering and to conquer until the

Interests of the soldiers both in the House Of
Representatives and in the Senate of the
United States
He spoke of Blaine's public life as hayins

has been exposed to the sunlight and storm

tne american people are going to elect these
men in November (Cries of mo" "no)."
