BLt1NE'S SPEECH 1T TERRE HAUrE.
LAFAYETTE Gnd.l. October 2Sd-Following is
Mr.. Blaines speech at Tcrre Haute The South
crn question as for years il has been popUl 4rly
termed. Is precip!ated into this canvass by the.
South itself, and TO neglect TO notice it would
| be TO overlook one of the most powerful and
| dangerous factors in the national contest. To
| understand that question properly it should be
remembered that there are politically two
SouihS, which we may term, RESPECTIVELY, the
new ana old South. The new South represents
| thar awakened LIBERAL sentiment which is striv- =
! ing for the industrial development of TINT ma
tIlrally rich section of the Union, which reCog-
uizcs the necessity of a tariff COR protect ION,

unreconciled temper. its narrowness of vision,
its hostility to all Northern interests. its con-

can administration. of the Government Will

/ the last ten years great progress has been made

witness the cffacement OF all hOstilitieS and the

| that result would be defeated and destroyed by
| giving the old South possession of the national
| power Among the first of the baleful effects
| that would follow would be the crushing out of
all liberal progress in the South and the practi-
| cal nullihcation OF all that has been gained by
| the reconstruction laws which followed the re

/ pie OF Indiana are now asked to aid in bringing

the abandonment or reversal OF the great finaI;-

nation prospered 50 marvelOusly since the close
