Convention at Chicago in 1880.
l once saw a storm at sea in the night
time; an old ship battling for it's life with
the fury Of the tempest; darkness every
where; the winds raging and bowling; the
huge waves beating on tho sides Of the
ship, and making her shiver from stem to
stern. The lightning was flashing, the
thunders rolling; there was danger every
where. saw at the helm bold, coura-
geous, immovable. commanding man. In
the tempest, calm; In tho commotion,
quiet; in the danger, hopeful. saw him
take that old ship and bring her into her
harbor, into still waters, into safety. That
man was hero. saw the good old ship
Of state, the state of Maine, within the
last year, fighting her way through the
same waves, against the same dangers.
She was freighted with all that
is precious in the principles of
our republic; with the rights of the Amer
ican citizenship, with all that is guar
anteed to the American citizen by our
constitution. The eyes of the whole na-
tion were on her, and intense anxiety
filed every American heart, lest the grand
old ship, the Estate Of Maine," might go

slasm; q year In which the people call for
man who has preserved in congress
what our soldiers won upon the field; q
year In which they call for a man who
has torn from the throat of treason the
tongue OF SANDER; for the man who has
snatched the mask of Democracy from
the hldeous face Of rebellion; for the man
who, like an intellectual athlete, has
stood In the arena Of debate and chal-
lenged all comers, and who is still O total
stranger to defeat.
Like an armed soldier, like plumed
knight, James G. Blaine marched down
the halls of the American congress. and
threw his shining lance full and fair
against the brazen foreheads Of the de-
famers Of his country and the maligners
of his honor
For the Republican party to desert
this gallant leader now is as though an
army should desert their general upon the
field of battle.
James 9. Blaine is now and has been
for years the bearer of the sacred stand
ard Of the Republican party. l call it
sacred, because no human being can stand
beneath its folds without becoming and
without remaining free
Gentlemen of the convention, in the
name Of the great republic. the only real
republic that ever existed upon this earth;
in the name of all her defenders and of all
her supporters; in the name of all her SOL
diers living; in the name of all her SOL
diers dead upon the field Of battle, and in
the name Of those who perished in the

her precious freight with her But there
was man at the helm. calm, deliberate.
commanding. sagacious; he made even
the foolish man wise; courageous, ne in
sspired the tinid with courage; hopeful,
he gave heart to the disnayed; and he
brought that good old ship safely into
harbor, into safety; and she floats today
greater, purer, stronger for her baptism

and his name was James g. Blaine
Maine sent US to this convention with
memory of her own salvation from
pending peril fresh upon her. To you
representatives of 50, 100000 of the Amer

Ii. a.
a national convention without a nom.
mating speech would strike the young
politician of today as the play of CLAM
let with the character of the Prince
Of Denmark omitted Yet that was
the rule before 1876 Indeed, until
Col Robert hgerson set the fashion at
Cincinnati in 1876. nothing more was
expected than o mere announcement OF
the name and u sort Of perfunctory pledge
that the state of the nominator would
give his candidate it's vote, a pledge which
could hardly be called deceitful sinca it
never deceived anybody. But after In
gersolls glorious effort at Cincinnati a
condidate would not consider himself
thoroughly nominated unless started with
an eloquent address; so each state looks
about early in the season for it's most elo-
quent speaker, and tho result has been to
give us some brilliant pieces of oratory, the
best of which we herewith present for
tho study of young America.
We also present some of the short and
ptthy addresses made in casting state votes
at other conventions. In the first Re-
publican national convention, held at
Philadelphia Juno II and 19, 1856, there
were sone good speeches mado on the
Se1eitti Issue, DuG Iue clHQlQaUo was not
even formally put in nomination, and
nearly the same is trueo of the conventions
of 1860 and 1864. In 1868 Gen. Grant
was really nominated in advance by spon-
taneous enthusiasm, yet he was not for
mally presented in tho convention. So
easily do we grow accustomed to that
which is that this omission would now
be thought an unpardonable slight; yet it
is worth noting that the nomination in
1880 went to q man who had not been
presented, and who had most eloquently
presented the name of Senator Sherman
Although there were no nominating
speeches in 1868 and 1872, yet the chair
men Of several state delegations embraced
the opportunity Of casting tho vote to
give few "pithy remarks, !" the "pith-
lest" Of which we present. Tho general
rule was, however, for each state to sim
ply announce its vote, and tho first de
partures therefrom were rather looked
upon as impertinences. But now the
nominating address is the great feature
of conventions opening work, and we
all like it.

SCHOOL ExHIBIrIoN.--The school
exhibition given at the Opera House
on last Wednesday evening by the
pupils Of the public schools. under
the supervision of Prof Kimmel and
the teachers, drew good audience
from our citizens, and all speak Of
it as an entertainment Of high mer.
it and more than worthy the pat
ronage bestowed. Mrs. DR.. Mead
deserves much credit for the train
ing in the musical part of the enter
tainment, and Prof. Kimmel is to
be congratulated upon the success
full manner of conducting the affair
throughout. 1t is hoped that these
exhibitions will be more frequent III
the future, as they are more enter
tanning to the people who attend
than one-horse theater and niger
shows, and are certainly more in
structive and beneficial, especially
to the scholars participating. Let
us have a good school exhibition at
least three or four times year. The
receipts added about $25 to the IL
brary fund Of the school.
