MIR. osBoRN's SPEECH
He said, II am grateful to you for
the expression of confidence you have
given me tqPay. 1t will strengthen
me in the VI wSfk l have to do at Wash
ington. Three years ago Pennsylya-
mia rolled up for that splendid states
man, James G. Blaine, majority un-
precedented in the history of such a
contest l believe that the people
Of the State are still as loyal to the
Republican party as they were then,
and will support this ticket as fully
as they supported the national ticket
then. The fact that but thirtv-fve
Democrats in Congress stood up
against the recent attempt at tinker
ing with the tariff in the direction of
free trade shows that the charge that
it is free-trade party is just. The
interest of this State is at stake in
this contest rs it is in the next con
test for 1883, for the Democratic
free traders are aiming at your indus
tries and your manufacturing and
mining. The lessons of the past have
taught Us that English free traders
are the inspiring spirits of the Dem
ocratic tariff tinkers, and they are
striking with greater malevolence at
this grest manufacturing Common
wealth than Mt any other part of the
country. That those who stand by
her interests will be supported by
the vote of Pennsylvania is as GER
tain as the rising Of tomorrow sun. ="
