''We claim to be body Of men who ask
nothing for ourselves and only seek the good
of the government and wise policy. 1 am
desired by my friends, who sur
round me, to say it is their
most emphatic conviction that the question TO
be decided in the coming presidential cleo
ton which dominates all others, is, that shall
the American idea of q tariff for protection of
American labor and industries be maintained
as a settled policy of the United States We
claim this is the only question now worthy
discussion. We pledge to You, sir, the hearty
support Of an overwhelming majority Of this
club. II there should be a small remnant
of our members who desert the party on
election day, it will be only they Who live by
free trade.
Mr.. Blaine responded as follows:
Gentlemen Of the Union League club,
desire, in response to your cordial welcome,
to express the deep obligation feel for the
courtesy you have shown me by this call. The
history of the Union League club, OF New
York, is inseparably identified with the most
critical period in the history of this nation. No
one who has followed our national
progress for the past quarter
Of a century can be Insensible
of the great aid which your organization
rendered in the crisis Of the civil war. Since
the return of peace you have been distin-
guished by your adherence TO sound political
principals and by the weight of your iniu-
ence, which has done much to promote wise
legislation and lead public opinion in the
hands of safety. 1 wish again to return nv
thanks for your kindness and to express nv
profound appreciation Of the kindly assur-
ances you give Of your sympathy aud sup
port"
