party is not ended until every man be-

cd honestly and correctly. (Applause.)
am Republican because the party is
pledged to the protection OF American labor.
tApplause.l The country that raises raw
material and sees it as such, will always be
ignorant and poor. [Applause.1 Why?
The labor to raise raw material is ignorant
labor. But the moment the raw material
is worked into fabrics, fashioned into beau
tiful shapes, that requires intelligence Zap
plause;j and consequently the greater
number of industries We have in the
United States the more intelligent our
population will be. [Applause.l
Another reason, ordinary labor is always
cheap. Labor commands a price in the
proportion that mind is mixed with muscle;
in the proportion that thought is mingled
with effort. lApplause]. The people who
want us to raise raw material for
England to manufacture, simply vote for
the poverty and ignorance of America and
for the wealth and intelligence of Great
Britain. / am in favor of the protection
of American industries. because it will
develop American brain; because under
that system we can raise the most valuable
things beneath the stars-great men and
great women. [Applause]. Where men
pursue but one industry, they become
stupid while the industries are diversified
am in favor of American protection, be-
cause under that policy we have become
the richest nation on the globe (Applause).
i am in favor of that policy, because we are
the most ingenious people who ever lived !;
because on the average we have more sense
than any other people tApplause). / am in
favor of that policy, because here in the
United States, on the average, we have
better homes better clothes, better food
and better schools. than any other nation.
(Applause). / believe the hearthstone is
the foundation of America (Applausel.
believe the fireside is the altar of the Re-
public (Applausel And | am in favor of
that policy that will put roof over the
head of every mechanic (Applause)
am not only in favor of the Republican
party because it is in favor of protecting
Industries at home; | am in favor of that
party because it believes in education, be-
cause it believes in protecting the rights of
American citizenship. (Applause.( I am
for that party because it took the last stain
from the American flag. (Applause.)
am for that party because il gave freedom
not only TO four millions of people, but to
thousands of millions. fApplause.) Tam
in favor of it because you can be a man
and belong to it (Applsuse.)
Now, having said this little, (cries OF go
on, .'go on" having said this little, re-
gard the success of the Republican party
as the most important thing for the re-
public [Applausel. In the next place, no
single man, whs tever his services may be;
no single man, whatever his achievements
may have been; no single man, whatever
his capacity is, is of the slightest i'm
portance IS compared with the success of
the Republican party. [Applausel.
Secondly, the nextquestion is, who is the
most available man, all things consideredH

the most intelligent men under the flag;
and when you can do thing easily, there's
no need of straining yourself. [Laughter.]

Row Between Blaine and Gresham Men.
CHICAGO, June 23.-A Blaine procession
into the rotunda of the Grand
Pacific Hotel with band of music and
hoisted their transparencies. The cheering
was tremendous-tin horns, flags, canes
umbrellas and hats helping on the general
A Gresham procession
had returned to the hotel only a
lew minutes before, and some of the
men did not relish the Blaine en-
thusiasm. They went to the Gresham
rooms and brought out a couple of trans
parencies used in the parade and hoisted
Them to counteract the cheering for the
man from Maine. The din now became
frightful. The big rotunda was one solid
mass of humanity, men standing on chairs,
lounges and whatever they could obtain
foothold. Cheers for Blaine and counter
cheers for Gresham rent the air until Clark
street became impossible from the crowds
trying to get into the hotel. Hats were
boisted on canes and umbrellas, and amid
the din the old campaign shout of Blaine,
Blaine, James G. Blaine" could be heard
like the yell of marching army The
seemed to be about evenly di-
vided, and when the Blaine noise faitered,
The Gresham men cheered like madmen.
Suddenly the man carrying the Blaine

eminence he waved the name of the Plumed
Knight The crowd went wild. Then the
men did the came, and for twenty
