were present. When Mr. Blaine appeared
in the corridor of the bpildng great
shout went up from the crowd outside
and was e-echoed by the throngs in the
hall. the men cheering and ladies waving
their handkcrchiefs. AS the gentleman
| assembled the platform Gen. Henry Il.
/ Cleves was called upon to preside He
| spoke briefly upon introducing Mr.. Blaine.
Mr. Blaine in response said:
MIR. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:
| should not have left my home the very
day after my arrival, but for my desire to
feel myself once more in touch with
those with whom have in previous years
fought in many good Republican contests,
(cheers) once more to compare notes with
those upon whose wisdom the party has
always relied, namely, the Republican
maSses-as to what should be done at this
crisis in the political affairs of the coun
try and in the history of the party which
is its great defender. When President
Cleyeland delivered his message he had
something to say to the American people
about the danger Of trusts" l think
there have since been no Democratic pa
pers in the county, whether they under
stand the meaning of the word or not,
that have not been constantly warning
the people as to the horrible danger of

bury all the Presidents predictions of
evil from trusts in this country, in graves
to which those collins are about to 60 pre-
fcrcntial bonds and all, and we DO this
safely by showing that so far from pro-
teCtive policy generating trLSts, an utter
free trade policy generates them in a far
greater number, anG thus leave the !
question. In Maine we are not able to
devote ourselves wholly to National cleo
tons, hut primarily to State elections,
and am glad that both parties have
nominated gentlemen OF uncXccptionabic |
character and responsibility, standing
high in their community, against whom
personally nothing can be said That
leaves the contest where it should rest
on principle. Mr. Putnam, | Judge from |
speech Of his which | hold in my hand, |
which read in the Portland Argus, is |
very uneasy in regard to the charges that
have been brought against him concern
ing the very dsadvantageOuS treaty he |
aided in making, giving away, as think, |
in II large degree, the rights Of American |
fishermen. have read his speech with |
great interest. and found it to be mainly |
an answer to the same criticism that |
Senator Frye had made on the President. |
Secretary of State and Fisheries Com
mission in connection with the treaty. |
What interested me most in his speech |
was three or four lines that occur some |
what parenthically about the middle Of |
his remarks. AT this point" saws the |
Argus, MIR. Putnam discussed several |
features of the treaty. showing the rrac- !
teal benefits which our fishing fleet would |
derive from the treaty. But the Argus !
don't think it worth while to mention
what these points of Mr. Putnam were.
On all the points of his criticism of Frye's
speech. Mr.. Putnam was full to afflucnco.
but Just in a breathing spell, or as Arte.
mus Ward wonld say, lat this point,
desiring to rest my voice. | will tell Won
a little story" so about the time that
Putnam got about half way in his sDnpch |
