speech by the Hon James G. Blaine.

OF Irish Protectionists. The structure
has a capacity to accommodate 5000 per-
sons, and they were there tonight.
and more toe. Hundreds were unable
TO gain admission. Judge Rooney pre-
sided and essayed a speech, which was
cut short by shouts for Mr.. Blaine,
who advanced and spoke substantially
rs follows:
Il did not come here tonight to
make a lengthy speech, but briefly to
sum up the case Are you in favor of
a protective tariff [Cries OF Yes, y
Yes u Then vote for Harrison. lCries
of I'VE will.nl
"Are you in favor of paying pen
sions to deserving soldiers2 tCries of
"Yes.-i Then vote for Harrison.
| TCries OF "We viii vote for him. Are
you against the president using the
veto as il he were a voter in the sena' c
or house of representatives Cries
of "Yes, We are."l Then vote against
Cleveland. fCries of I'VE will"
Are you in favor of a thorough
American system through and
through? [Cries of I'VE are Then
vote for Harrison
Are you in favor of using the sur
plus in the treasury OF the United
States to pay the public debt2 Shouts
of "Yes."l Then vote for Harrison.
I"Yes, we will. y
"Are you against taking 0,Ooo. 600
out OF the public treasury and ioaning
/ it to favorites without interest. Cries
| of .Yes."l Well. ! have something
more to say on that point. for i have
| learned something since last spoke
of il. Not only have they taken $60.-
Ooo. 900 and loaned it to pet houses in
the United States, but they have done
| il through the agency of bank estab-
| lished by Mr.. Jordan and by the late
Mr.. Manning. They have made them
sort OF government bureau. They
gave them 81 100, 900 as fixed balance
| to call their own, and then they have
| allowed them to peddle out this $60,-
| oOo, 600 to other banks and by that
means tried to get large number
of banks throughout the country to
/ give them their entire business. and
| saw here that Louis XIV. OF France or
! Peter the Great OF Russia, or Napoleon
at his most absolute period would
never have dared to treat the treasury
of their respective countries in that
way-never. [Cheers. / wonder that
/ il has not made more profound sem
sation in this country.
"They have said in such papers as the
New York Times and the Ereaing Posi-
that Secretary Sherman did the same.
Well, / have been denying that good
while. and this morning | read a
| speech from Secretary Sherman him
self, and he explained exactly the diff
| ference. When Secretary Sherman
made that -larvelous loan of 4 per
cent. in 1879. they were sold through
banks and paid for at the banks coun-
/ ters. The money was merely in tran
sit between those who paid for the Is
and man who got his pay for the sur
rendered IS and 6s, but these men have
taken the money in the treasury
and against every provision
of law have dipped their hands in up
| to the elbows and helped their friends.
The most corrupt thing you can con-
ceive of is to take the money ef the gov
ernment and give it to banks who can
use it aud use their influence Tor the
party in power.
FOREIGN RELATIONS.
al saw to my regret in paper an
accusation made that the extradition
treaty had been iniuriously amended
by a Republican committee and re-
ported TO the senate by a Republican.
state positively, and state OF my
| known knowledge, that there is not
one particle of foundation for that al
legation. Like the fisheries treaty,
| which surrendered our rights in the
| fisheries, this extradition treaty is sup
ported in the senate by Democratic
senator's and by them alone" LAp-
| piause.
/ NEW YORK AROUSED.
| Referring TO the Republican parade,
which he witnessed to-day, Mr.. Blaine
said: "It was the most mighty polit-
icai procession that ever trod the
streets of New York. Applause. ]
And compared with that which the
president of the United States came
here last week to review, why that
was a picket-guard merely to the Re
publican army, and. gentlemen, that
procession is prophetic. 1t means
that the people OF New York are
| aroused, not on old party lines, not in
an old-fashioned tight between the
| Democrats and Republicans, but a
fight between PROFESSIONALS and anti
rrotectionists. a fight between protec-
ton and free trade" prolonged
| cheers.
MESSAGE FROM HARRISON.
Before the people were dismissed
this telegram was read:
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 3.
"w. II. GRAY, Brooklyn, y. Y:
Please express. 10 the Irish-American
| Protectionists' Association in Brook
lyn, my sincere thanks for their cor
dial greeting and hopeful prophesies.
| The Independence OF spirit and deyo-
ton TO principle which they have
shown in this campaign have been as
I conspicuous as they are ereditable ia
/ their intelligence and manhood.
BENZ. HAREIsoS.'
Two Other Meetings.
/ After this meeting Blaine was driven
to mass meeting in Grand Army
! hall, in the eastern distr CT of Brook
/ lyn, where he made a short speech,
| saving in part. I'VE must stand to-
gether in the election This Union
+. carries the nag OF the Union, instead
of the dirty bandana, for. without any
disrespct to the candidate for vice
president, | think one Of the most
extraordinary campaign badges Is a
pocket that a snnh-taker
| u ed in his extremity. Yes. prefer
the banner OF the United States which
was borne up the great avenue OF New
York By 6o.1oo people, and under that
/ flag and under the dag OF protection
we shall win a victory on Tuesday
next"
| After this speech Mr.. Blaine was
conducted to a skating rink in the
outskirts of the city. His fatigue was
apparent and he spoke but few mo
ments.
