THE PARTY OF THE PEOPLE.
Congressman P. A. Collins, OF Boston, ex-
president Of the Land league, was one of the
speakers. ''It is very warm night,'' he
said, when the cheers which greeted him
were over, "but unless all signs fail we shall
make it very much warmer for the old enemy
before November. Applause. l am glad
to find that Notwithstanding the cajolery and
attempted if not contemplated bribery to get
the Democratic vote of this state divided, the
Democratic party of this city are united, as
you indicate tonight. Applause tits the
party which on this continent has made hu-
man freedom possible. 1t is the party which
has seen the birth and witnessed the death of
every other political organization save one,
and for that the grave yawns vide in No
vember. Applause and laughter. No
other political organization formed by man
on this continent survived a great defeat
We have been out of power for twenty-four
years. We have stood up against calumny
and opposition of every kind and against the
money power Of this country, with the labor
of the country as our basis, and we propose
to exist as political organization until the
! triumph of our party is written in November.
| Applause. And why! Because every
other party represented something else than
the people. The Democratic party repre-
sented nothing but the masses of the people.
When the federalist party went down it went
| a fCr Nm, ifc oh
/ party called the Wing party. 1t was emf
nenty respectable and the aristocracy was
always on top. The Democratic party OPP
! posed that organization, and when the Wing
| party went down it went down forever
! Upon the ruins Of the Wing party came the
party that Jim Blaine did his best to found
! in Augusta, Maine, the Know Nothing party.
! [GrOans. 1t had three short years of life
| and then merged with the free soldiers into
the Republican party. The Democratic
party went down in 1860, but it didn't go
dOwn to stay. 1t is here to-day, a majority
of the people Of the country. Cheers. II
the Democratic voters of this country vote
the Democratic ticket every man knows that
Cleveland and Hendricks will be elected.
! [Cheers.l The Democratic party cast its
full vote eight years ago and the Republi-
cans stole the presidency. Kisses. Four
dency in Indiana Now they prspose to
wheede us out OF the presidency! Laugh
ter. You never saw in all your experience
such excessive loye for their Celtic brethren
as is shown by the Republican party mana
gers, and especially by that great
old friend of ours, the New York Tribune.
We are told tits about time this solid vote
was broken up, and they would divide it be-
tween the pUrties with i'm partiality. Laugh
ter. Well, when / get ready to leave the
Democratic party and join some other or
ganization | want TO vote for decent man
for president. Applause.
81 am here as one of yourselves. / am
here as an American. [Cheers. Anybody

james G. Blaine and his old Know Nothing
party and his new Republican party had their
way | would be a man without country now.

not at all sponsble-[ laughter and for
which make no apology. But l took an
oath of allegiance TO the United States OF
America, and, by the grace of God will
keep that oath and remain n true American
Enthusiastic cheers. / shall never be a
party to the creation OF an Irish section OF
the Democratic or Republican parties. We
are here as a component part of this great
composite nationality. We ask no
special privileges or advantages
on account OF our blood or religion,
and, with the help OF God, we will take no
advantage on account OF either. [Checrs I
But we are singled out for csjolery at this
time, and we are told that we should desert
our party and vote for the Republican party

BLAINE's RECORD.
''Now, suppose 1t were proper to discuss
American politics from an Irish standpoint
let us see where we would land. Take the
record of the man. Thirty years ago Jane:
G. Blaine turned up in Augusta, Me-, and
adopted fashionable religion. good
friend of mine, Father John Bapbst wa:
tarred and feathered there, and | believe
ridden on rail- The Kennebec Jou,7,dl,
Mr.. Blaine's 'sapaper, instead of denouncing
the outrage, said there was great provocatiou
for it. The only provocation for it was that
Father Baptist performed the holy office of
religion different from that practiced by the
readers and editors of that paper. Nine year:
ago my lrlcuu James u MaulSan was can
didate for congress in the Fourth Main,
district. James G.. Blaine was the editor anC
publisher of the Kennebec Journal, and
chairman of the Republican State
committee. That committee ISSUED
circular which l can't but
characterize as dastardly. II purported Il
be published by protestant Democrat. >
, 1t was charged upon Mr.. Blaine that he cir
; cuated that document. Mr.. Madigan was
called a lay Jesuit II was said that the
Catholics wanted 10 have their representa-
tives in congress, and charged all gooC
: Protestants to vote against him and hit any
Catholic head wherever they saw it. The
