THAT sAcKvILLE LETTER
And the Wicked Republican Con.

Uses Democratic Paper to
Point a Moral.

Norwich, CoNN., Nov. 1.-Dweller
in the eastern end OF this old Yankee
Commonwealth took to themselves Z
holiday to hear James G. Blaine speaE
upon the issues of the campaign in thii
town to-day.
Mr.. Blaine was escorted to Williams
Park, where an audience of $4,000 had
gathered. When the orator mounted
the stand and presented himself at the
rail he was cheered by the thousands
After discussing the tariff question, Mr.
Blaine said: 81 have here a speech by
Mr.. Bayard, Secretary Of State. Mr..
Bayard is a peculiar gentleman. laugh
ter He is a gentleman of very high SEN
timent. In fact, there,is no body who
speaks the English language SO taras l
know, since Joseph Surface, who has so
fine sentiments as Mr.. Bayard. Laugh
er] He clothes everything with senti-
ment. But, aside from joking, Mr.. Bay
ards speech is devoted TO the wicked
conspiracy Of Republicans they have all
taken that word. Mr.. Thurman has
taken that word)-the wicked conspiracy
ofRepublicans that entrapped Lord Sack
vile into writing that letter
{ Applause. And he calls down the
wrath Of the country upon these most
wicked conspirators who got up the let
ter that Lord Sackville answered. Now
/ must say that Mr.. Bayard puts himself
in very peculiar position, because il
there were wicked conspiracy of lead
ing Republicans TO entrap Lord Sack
vile into writing an imprudent
letter, those conspirators ought to
have been punished; but in
stead Of that he Furnishes Lord
Sackville. They acknowledge that they
were not quick to do it, but after ten
days, and after they had received advices
and kilograms from all parts OF the
country, that If they did not start Lord
Sackville, the Irish vote would start.
Laughter1 then Lord Sackville had
to go. 1t will be an agreeable thing in
England, to Lord Salisbury, the Prime
Minister, to know that President Cleve-
lands Administration deliberately
weighed Lord Sackville against
the Irish vote and started him.
[APplause.l l have another paper
here, speaking OF conspiracies and
wicked things-the World, which l be-
lieve is counted a good Democratic or
gan. 1t is opposing Abram Hewitt, and
this morning it reproduces the 'NTorey
letter that was forged eight years ago
against the laInented President Garfield
when he was the Republican candidate,
and now the World is belaboring Mr..
Hewitt because he said it was true let
ter and aided in putting the forgery into
circulation. That is pretty amusing.
Laughter and applause.] did not ex-
pect to live to se9 the day when one sec
ton of the Democraticparty would want
to swear the responsibility OF the Morey
letter upon the other. When the Dem.
ocrats all get to exposing each other that
will be terrible day. Great applause. !
1fthey do that the Republicans would
not need to have stump speeches, or
mass meetings; the election would carry
on itself. The Democratic party never
has conducted the affairs of the country
with Great Britain with dignity
vi WIN dANhubttS0 " Lllb country
never. We owe to the Democratic party
and to its bad diplomacy the loss OF
British Columbia. 10 the bad diplomacy
and the surrender OF the Democratic
party we owe the reciprocity treaty OF
1854, in which we got about one article
10 forty as compared with the Canadians;
the reciprocity treaty which was thirty
nine degrees on one side, which was our
opponents, and one degree on our side
we owe that to them. Now, when Gen.
Grant was our President we had the
most embarrassing, the most trying, the
most delicate question in the world
to settle with Great Britain-the
question OF the Alabama claims.
Tho Democratic party could not have set
tied those claims, but, gentlemen, Gen.
Grant administration settled them with
peace between both countries, and with
the mutual respect OF both countries.
The Democratic party, in the first place,
has clustered with Great Britain and
then surrendered. The Republican party
never clustered and has never had any
thing to surrender. Great applause.]
