W. VI. oheers. and Hale after brief re-
.Lo VIZ presented Hon. James q. Blaine.
Isa .sid he had many causes for great
s's,,tnde TO the people Of Maine for
s'sry Years Of their friendship and sup
80. hat he was never SO profoundly
rh rashsd AZ he had been by the manner
! which he had recently been received
/, sIl classes, and he might say all par
X in the State Of Maine, for he had to
,sroonize - beside the friendship of his
ayn noIitical associates, the courtesy
snd kindness manifested by those who
n the past had been opposed to him
nol;tically. Whatever may be the issue
n the pending campaign, of which it
vould indeed not be becoming in him
q sneak. he could say that by the peo-
pe Of Maine be has III this supreme
erisis In his public career been already
sastaiued in a manner that gives him
tbs most intense satisfaction. Contin-
ming, be said: "Thore is after all an
embarrassment in addressing those
whom one has been associated with for
Years on intimate terms. My esteem is
no, sufficiently developed TO think that
this vast assemblage has come together
40 much TO see me AS To see my gallant
associate on the regular Republican
ticket, General logan. As final re-
sponse, thank you for your most gen
srous attention and will present 70 you
the gallant hero from Illinois. Loud
cheers.
Gen. Logan said Ladies' and Gen
tlemen--I am very much Rratified in
deed TO meet no many citizens in this
beautiful city tonight. have also been
very much pleased in passing through
your proud State To find the kindly feel
Ing that exists in reference to your fell
low citizen and neighbor, Mr.. Blaine.
Applause. II is said that a prophet Is
not without honor save Ia his own coun-
try, but must say that the reverse OF
this is true in Maine concerning him of
whom have spoken. The people of
this country, under our foru' of govern
ment, have and claim the right To ex
press their views on any question, and
also TO choose who they wish to repre-
sent them in any capacity. This Is true
Of the convention recently held III Chi
cago. No one doubts that IL gave ex-
preston 10 the voice of the people III
announcing In unmistakable terms that
citizen OF your State is their choice for
the highest ofiice in their gift. Ap
plause. To question this now IL to say
that the majority is not TO control, but
that a minority shall dictate the nomi-
nation. The people Of this country
know what they want, and also who
they want. In my Judgment, they want
a man capable of performing the duties
OF the position intelligently a man who
understands the needs and wants OF the
people; a man who has knowledge and
experience in connection with the affairs
OF government; man who understands
the diversified interests of this great
people, and will use all proper means
Tor their protection and success a man
who knows the wants of the masses and
The needs OF the lahorer, and will use all
his power and influence in caring for
those wants and interests a man who
~ conversant with our commercial rela-
lions with foreign nations, and a man
Who realizes that greater room il
needed for our surplus products
man who can and will in
. proper manner establish proper
relations with our sister Republics Of
Mexico and South America, a man
Who will ealaree our commerce with
them; man who understands what
american manhood is. and who will. in
sproper way, make the citizen Of the
United States feel a pride in being q
citizen, and feel that hs will receive
proper protection both at home aud
sofoad. The people of this country
want man who will not only support
ana sustain the Constitution. but faith
iutly and conscieutiously execute the
laws IN ali parts of the land. Believing
ihat the American people want man
OF tne character have described, l may
nov say that such man bus been
I9und In the person of James q. Blaine.
Loud cheers. Fellow citizens. when
.ne iues OF November shall come, the
pcople OF this great Republic will give
ho''ce to the world that they have made
hln I President of the United States.

Ny mat feel honored in being asso-
e'a'ed with this. your honored citizen,
