Carl schurz's Great Speech.

On the first page of this issue we publish a
portion of Carl Schurz's great speech at the
Independent Republican mass meeting in
Brooklyn, New York, on Tuesday night of
last week. 1t is mastery Spectacular,
logical, forcible. We ask for it close read
ing, for it is convincing as to the charges
against the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent that he, while Speaker of the House of
Representatives, prostituted his high Office
for personal gain.
Mr.. Schurz is not Democrat, and never
was. He has been one of the foremost advo-
Gates of Republican principles, has always
held high position in the respect and esteem
of that party, and was a member of Hayes
cabinet.
In reading the speech it will be observed
that Mr.. Schurz is not abusive of Mr.. Blaine.
In charging him with prostituting the high
office of Speaker of the National House of
Representatives for pecuniary gain, he does
not rely for evidence, in sustaining it, upon
the enemies of Mr.. Blaine. He takes the
official records of Congress, and uses only the
sworn testimony therein contained. BY
Blaine's own testimony and Blaine's own let
tiers does he sustain the charges against him.
He not only proves them, but also shows that
Mr.. Blaine, in his defense of himself, dehb-
erately uttered that which he knew not to be
true.
In concluding his speech Mr.. Schurz states
that this one sustained charge is sufficient for
him to oppose the election of Mr.. Blaine, and
it should be sufficient, he says, to induce all
fair minded men, who desire purity and in
tegrity in the public service, to oppose him.
There are various other charges against the
Plumed Knight, but he chose but one for his
speech.
Mr.. Schurz also reviewed the record of
Gov. Cleveland, whom he warmly eulogized
and commended to his hearers as the embodi-
ment of official integrity and uprightness.
Next week we shall give the remainder OF
Mr.. Sehurz's speech. 1t should be closely
read and studied, and laid away for future re-
faranca

A stand was erected at the corner ofBroad-

a banner announcing an Independent Demo-

time an Independent candidate for Congress
against DIR. Cole, the Democratic nominee,
would be nominated. At the appointed time
a large crowd of people, moved by curiosity,
assembled. On the stand was a brass band.
No speakers appeared and no one mounted

Blaine has always been noted for boldness
and dash, but he and his friends no doubt
now wish he had not had so much when he
pitched into Senator Conkling and alluded to
his ''turkey-cock strut;" nor when he wrote
that letter speaking of the Scotch ancestry of
the Camerons, and saying that the country
would be much better off without them. 1t
don't do to have too much dash, especially
when it alienates men whose followings are
numbered by thousands. Conkling in New
York and the Camerons in Pennsylvania are
powerful for or against a ticket; even luke
warmness on their part means the loss of tho
nsands ofvotes to Blaine.

Mr.. Blaine and the Republican leaders,
millionaires, monopolists and spectators, con-
tend for high protective tariff. They have
such tariff now, but what protection does
the farmer enjoy, with wheat down to 10 and
So cents per bushel. Protection restricts
trade and in a measure keeps our produce out
of foreign ports. The home market is not
sufficient to take all our immense crop of
wheat, hence the decline in price. ''Protec-
tinn'' does not protect.

The Democratic party fought the battle of
foreign born citizens against the Know Moth
ings. Some Irishmen now propose to requite
the Democrats for this service by voting for
Blaine, who was Know Nothing leader. If
the Know Nothings had succeeded, Irishmen
would not have been permitted to vote at all.
How can they consistently vote for Blaine,
who then edited the Kennebeck Journal. and
was an ardent supporter of Know Nothingism?

A Perverted Public Life.

From the Harrisburg, Pa Patriot.
In the history of public men there are few
cases parallel to that of James G. Blaine. In
a quarter Of a century of public life he has
always been conspicuous without accomplish
ing anything. A leader Of men he has never
originated measure. A legislator of bril-
liant parts no law on the statute books bears
the impress of his mind. When trihing sub
jects were under consideration or political
schemes absorbing attention, Blaine was elo-
quent and dramatic, but when questions OF
grave Importance challenged the attention of
the country he had neither voice nor mind to
discuss them.
During the twenty years of NJ. Blaine's SER
vice in congress, there have been grave sub
jects considered, and he had no part in them.
When legislation on the tariff was pending he
was silent. When financial questions were
under discussion he had no tongue. But
when there was IA job peuding when some
corporation asked immunity for forfeited OBJ
legations or bounty for imaginary future
developments, or when the bloody shirt was
to be waved and sectionalism paraded in
dramatic periods, Mr.. Blaine pranced into the
arena and made the country ring with his
eloquence and energy.
In these things he has had experience. But
it was the experience that withers where it
touches. His services have been of the kind
that makes sore hearts rather than that which
relieves distress. He has been lobbyist, a
jobber and a corruptionist, but in no instance
has he aleviated suffering or relieved distress.
Blaine's public record has made Blaine rich
but has done good to no one else.

All Irishmen in this country are not and
have not been Democrats, but the Republi-
cans seem to think to the contrary. The
Irish World, published in New York, is strong
for Blaine, but only on the ground that Blaine
is Protectionist, and protective tariffs are
supposed to injure England. Much ado is
made about the Irish World supporting
Blaine, but those who are so delighted are not
aware of the fact that the paper always is
against the Democrats. 1t is the organ of
the dynamiters

The Greenbackers and Republicans of West
Virginia put fusion ticket in the field for
state officers, and agreed to have an electoral
ticket composed of both parties. Both sides
now are dissatisfied with the ticket, and a
split and open revolt is not improbable, es-
pecially as the Republicans want the entire
electoral ticket. Buffers candidacy has in
terfered, too, as he has written to Greenback
leaders in that state that he will expect the
Greenbaek vote. The Democrats can beat
the Gfeenbackers and Republicans combined,
and with the Greenback vote off the Republi-
cans would make poor showing.
