BLAINE TWISTS FACTS.
HE TRIES TO MAKE SPORT OF SEC
RETARY BAYARD'5 SPEECH.

An Absurd Claim that the oecreCerS
Visited the Sin of Others on the
British Minister - His Lordshir
Weighed A gainst the Irish Vote and
Started Home
NORWICH, CONN, Nov. 1.-The largest
political demonstration ever known in this
part of Connecticut was made to-day. Mr.,
Blaine, accompanied by Adam King, of
Baltimore, arrived from New York by
special train about noon. He was driven
to Washington square, in the center of the
city, accompanied by a reception committee,
headed by Hon. John T. Wait and
! Hon. H. H. OSgood. There he was
met by Hon. Morgan G. Buckley of Hart
ford and Charles A. Russell of Killingly.
A procession OF 1000 men escorted the
party to Williams park, where an audience
of 25, 900 had gathered from all parts OF
f :sterI Con octicut. Hon. II. H. OSgood
presided Addresses were made by Messrs.
Blaine. King, Buckley and Russell.
PICKING UP SECRETARY BAYARD.
Mr. Blaine, after discussing the tariff
question, said:
Ihave here speech by Mr. Bayard, Secre-
tary of State. MIR. Bayard is a peculiar gen
rleman Laughter He is a gentleman of
very high sentiment. In fact. there is no.
body who speaks the English language,
so far as ] know, since Joseph Surface,
who has so fine sentiments as Mr.. Bayard.
laughter He clothes everything with senti-
IN mt Why in his speech, he wanted to re-
mark that we We're a nation of 65,oo0,000 people.
Well, that is a very pain fact. and there are
gr at many people who know this besides Mr..
Bavard But Mr.. Bayard did not say
il in this ordinary way. Mr. Bayard says: And
nos. lei us raise our minds and let us elevate
our moral vision and think of what we are, a
ma ion of IS 900. GOO people Laughter Well
he might have got that fact off without such
lofty contemplation.
THE WICKED CONSPIRACY.
But aside from joking, Mr.. Bayard's speech
Is voted 70 the wicked conspiracy OF the
r.Dublicans-,Tney have all taken that word
wicked conspiracy of thu republicans that
trapped Lord Sackville into writing a
letter aPPgpause and and he eo,,n calls down
these most wicked conspirators, that got
NJ the letter that Lord Sackville answered.
Now, must say that Mr.. Bayard puts himself
in a very peculiar situation. because if there
were a wicked conspiracy of leading republicans
to entrap Lord Sackville into writing an impru-
dent letter, these cOnspirators ought to have
been punished; but instead of that he Furnishes
Lord SIckvle.
sAnDLED IT on sACkvILLg.
He says Here is a most unprincipled. mon
strous conspiracy against this man. and in CON
sequence of this conspiracy, OF which cannot
home and make him bear the sins Of those con-
spirators. That is q very remarkable statement.
They acknowledge that they were not quick
to do il. but after ten days and they had re-
ceved advces and kilograms from all parts of
tue country that if they did not start Lord
Sackvlle. the Irish vote would start. Laughter.
Then ord Sackville had to go. It will be au
agreeable thing in England to Lord Salisbury,
nfirie minister, to know that President Cleve-
lands administration deliberately weighed
Lord SacEville against the Irish vote and
started him. IApplause.l
An ALLEGED FAILURE.
And. gentlemen, levity aside, speaking of Mr..
Rayard's position in regard to Lord Sack vile.
the Democratic party never has conducted
affairs of this country with Great Britain with
dignity or with advantage to this country.
Never; and IL you will contrast the admin
istration of President Grant and President
Lincoln in their conduct of affairs with
Great Britain with what has been done by
the Democratic party, you would ask no other
issues. We owe to the Democratic party and
10 its bad diplomacy the loss of British Column
bia. of that vast province on the Pacific coast,
which would give us the entire coast from Beh-
ring Strait down to the Gulf of California To
the bad diplomacy and surrender of tie
procity treaty of 1854, in which we got
about one article to forty as compared with the
Canadians, a reciprocity treaty which was
thirty nine degrees on one side, which was our
opponent and one degree on our sde-we owe
that to them. In fact. It is not in the power
of the Democratic party to give single treaty
Great Britain which rebounds to the honor of
the country.
ALABAMA CLAIMS.
Now. when Gen. Grant was our President we
had the most embarrassing, most trying most
delicate question in the world to settle with
Great Britain, the question of the Alabama
claims. The Democratic party could not have
settled these claims, but. gentlemen, Presi-
dent Grants administration settled them
with honor TO the country, with peace
between both countries, and with
the mutual respect of both countries.
The Democratic party, in the first place, has
blusteret with Great Britain and then surren-
dered; the Republican party never clustered
aud has never had anything to surrender.
[Great applausel. They have always conducted
emselves with dignity they have maintained
the honor of the country and they have
had respect from their opponents.
They have never sought war with
Great Britain, never, and when they agreed
with Great Britain and made Great Britain
agree toit that W. would submit the claims of
the Alabama TO arbitration, we gained not only
victory for ourselves but we gained a victory
for all humanity, and did more than any
other nation in the nineteenth century to bring
to "A close the bloody arbitraments of war. We
did more to establish peace a law and rule
between nations; did more to add to the
great glory OF international arbitration and
added the best chapter to international law;
and Great Britain respects the United States
when under the Republican party more than
when under the Democratic party. Applause
All the presidents have been In tn line of
honor to ourselves and fair adiu stments with
the opposition.
BLAINE AT HARTFORD.
HARTFORD, Conn Nov. 1.-Mr. Blaine
addressed 5000 republicans here this even
ing. He opened by stating that he
was violating self-imposed and
necessary rule by making a
second speech on the same day. The
present campaign was great uprising in
defense of the principle of protection. He
believed that its defenders included ma
jority of the people of the United States,
and trusted they included majority of the
people of Connecticut, a state which fur
nished the best illustration OF the benefits
