tude of SPEAKERS 4:
MR.. PULITzER's REMARKS.

Mr.. Pulitzer was received with a storm of
cheers. When the applause had subsided sufi-
ciently to allow him to be heard Mr. Pulitzer
said:
What is the question my countrymen? Shall
this great Republic, by endorsing Blaine's bad
Character, destroy its own good character! Mr.
Blaine may have little character left, but this
Republic has much and it must preserve IT, Mr.
Ar. Blaine (hisses) was not nominated because
he is an honest man, but because he is not an
honest man. Applause. Grover Cleveland is
not opposed because he IS a dishonest man. but
because he IS not dishonest man! IAp-
plause.
" Protection = shouts Mr. Blaine from every
stump in Ohio and West Virginia. Protection
he cries, SIS the great need For
MIN 1t IS indeed, a great need. It is
the need for the people-against him-llau
ter); Tor the Repu5lie-against the Repub biican
party. Applause. Protection he saws for
our home ind1stries.' What home industry does
Mr.. Blaine most eonspicuousiy protect? know
OF one home industry that has grown up under
Mr.. Blaine es protection and the protection of his
party 1t is the home industry OF corruption
| Applause That is one OF Mr. Blaine's home
Industries that am not in favor OF protecting
/ am rather in favor OF prohibiting Mr. Blaine's 8
protection Of wholesale jobbery, corruption and
disgraceful venality in his high public station.

''Protection, he also means, / presume of the
I llfamOusly
levied upon the people OF the country One
hundred millions are annually taken out of your
pockets 70 afford corruption fund for thieyfnp
river and harbor jobs and navy swindles: for
cruisers-steeL cruisers l think they are rightly
called. Laughter and applause
''DO you know what S10O. .OOO, 600 meanf We
hear the amount mentioned as IL it were some
thing really insignificant. Why, It is a sum
nearly equivalent to the total expenditure for the
nrst twenty-three years OF the government
From the administration Of Washington and in
ending those Of Adams, Jefferson and Madison
TO the OF 1872 the total cost of the govern
ment was altogether only what now goes as an
unnecessary surplus every year into the treas
rrer. This means an exaction OF about S3OOOoO
for every day in the year collected without
shadow Of right, reason or the rcmotest neces-
sity aud against the solemn protest OF the peo-
pie. iApplsuse.
II have figured out sxsctly what the surplus
reTenue OF S1UO. .OO0,0O0 means. It means that
4 the Republican party nssdlessly exaets from the
people SS-333. 333 every month IN the year. It
means sz1S.sl7 for every day IN the year, fnclud-
ing sundays and holidays. Il means Si9,s2s
for every hour in the day and $3.50 for every
minHte OF unnecessary, unjust taxation.

''Our candidate does not represent that sort Of
protection. he represents the protection of Law
and justice. Of property and liberty. lApplause.l
