II is in vain for Mr.. Blaine to appeal Il
sectional prejudiees aud the memories Of tn.
war. This is now one nation. Armies o.
men persisted 10 make il one nation. The
abolition OF slavery blotted out Mason and
Dixon's line. lAppIause.l There Is Nc
longer a south. Great applause. The re-
bellion exists only in history; q history thai
testihes that the American people, north and
south, have no peers on earth for courage
manhood, persistence and endurance
No; LET the dead past bury its dead We
have got enough 70 contentthe heart of men.
In sixteen years we will number one han-
dred millions Of people. In q little while We
will look back upon the rebellion IS fifty
years, they looked back upon ShaT's whiskeI
resurrection. Let US turn our faces to the
future; TO the mighty questions that meet
us: How we shall keep liberty alive in the
land; how we shall prevent the density OF
/ population from trenching upon civilization
how We shall prevent the swRrming millions
from falling into old world Wrstchedness
how, as We grow in numbers, We may grow
in culture, intelligence, virtue and greatness

/ Hold no malice against the Irish who voted
for Blaine under the dslusiOn that Il would
lead 10 the liberation Of poor old Ireland. Il
was a noble error: 1t grew out Of their prom
inent love for their native land, sitting to-
day in shsris and ashes. No base motive
induced them TO Temporarily desert the old
banner. Build bridge Of gold for them to
march back upon, and keep the gates open

The Republican party has nut two issues

In the name Of the bloody shirt It extn-
guished the Republican governments Of
Louisiana, South Csrolina land Florida and
handed those states over TO the Democrats,
on condition that they would allow HAYES to
crawl in, by a ladder, through the second
story window of the White house. IAp-
plausel. And Hayes kicked down the lad
der he crawled up by and left the negro
Spawning on his back. By monstrous ab-
surdity the Republican party in those states
was conceded 20 have carried them for pres
idential electors, and not TO have carried
them, on the same votes, on d higher total
Tor state officers. And now Blaine talks
about the oppression Of the poor negro, and
would incite a race war in the south, and
sectional war insthe whole land
But must cease. Several speakers are
to follow me. In the old DAYS OF steamboat
racing on the southern Mississippi il WAS
customary to set 4 darkey on the safety
valve II the boiler got more pressure on ii
than 1t could stand there was an explosion
and that darkey was projected into space aud
became a white-robed angel. Laughter.
When look back at these gentlemen behind
me, full TO bursting Fith bOttled-up elo-
quence, feel like the dsrkey on the safety
valve, something has got to give, and II l
don't get out Of the way l run a risk Of being
thrown half way across this hall. lGreat

Let US rejoice that slavery 10 at an end
