MR.. BLAINE ON THE MESSAGE.
A SCATHING CRITICISM OF THE PRESIDENTS

TEXT OF MR. BLAINE's SPEECH AT LEWISTON
RETALIATION AS POLITICAL DEVICE TO
DIVERT ATTENTION FROM THE
FREETRADE ISSUE.
Mr.. Blaine's speech at Lewiston, Me-, on SAT-
urday evening was a scathng and pointed crit
cism of the Presidents message. The point was
made that the Executive document is not thu
patriotic American measure which Mr.. Cleveland
and his followers would have the country TO
believe, but q Democratic partisan device. con-
ceived in order to divert the attention OF the
people from his free-trade message and the Mills
bill
DELAYS in the transmission by telegraph Of Mr..
Blaine's speech made it impossible for THE TRIB-
UNE to publish it entire in the Sunday issue, but
the address, as delivered at Lewiston. Will be
found in full below:
I did not happen to have an opportunity OF read
ing the full text of President Cleveand's message
on the fisheries subject until this morning, and,
with all due respect TO the Chief Executive of the
Nation must say that considering all the circum-
stances it is the most extraordinary document that
ever was sent from the White House TO the Capitol
Here are the main facts of the issue between
Canada and the United States. or. perhaps 10 speak
more exactly, between Great Britain and the
United States in respect to the fisheries IL WAS
our belief, and still is, that after the articles Of
the Treaty of Washington relating TO the fisheries
had expired the Canadian Government behaved in
an unncighborly, unseemly and unjust manner
to,5ard our fishermen IN refusing them rights which
they had enjoyed by long prescription.
In order TO bring the Government OF the Do
mnon to just appreciation of the subject. Con-
gress authorized the President in the spring Of
lsS7 TO adopt at his discretion a policy OF suitable
retaliation, directing, among other things. that
whenever and so long as American vessels were
deprived of commercial privileges in the ports OF
Canada, Canadian vessels should be deprived Of
like privileges in the ports Of the United States
This il may indulge in appropriate slang y
genuine tit for-tat policy in which the punishment
was admirably fitted TO the crime. President
Cleveland declined to enforce the policy, and al

REPUBLICAN RALLIES IN VERMONT.


THE ISSUE PLAIN ONE
st. Adams, VT, Aug 90 (speciap.-Last week was
redletter week for Vermont Republicans, moro than
forty Harrison and Morton rallies having been held
In the State under the direction of the Republican
State Committee The meetings were all large and
enthusiastic. The rallies at White River Junction,
Roxbury Morrisville, Enosburgh Falls, Hghgate and
st. Johnsbury the largest held In those towhs
since 1884 Everywhere In the State the Republicans
seem to realize the Importance OF the coming septem-
ber election and are showing enthusiasm for the
National and State tickets such as has not been W.T.
messed since 1860. The Democrats have been aroused
from their state Of innocuOus desuetude' by the
activity Of the Republicans, and are making livery
canvass during the closing days OF the campaish.
Until recently the Democrats have been on Still
hunt in Vermont, but 1t will avail the party nothng'
as the free-trade policy Of the Administration has
turned large numbers Of protection Democrats into the
Republican fold and discouraged hundreds Oh otnets
who will be numbered among the absentees from the
polls on election day.
The Fisheries Of President Cleveland VIII
have little effect canvass In vermont as IL is
generally regarded as electioneering document.
The issue between the two parties OF protection or
free trado is clearly and strongly defined In this
campaign that It cannot be changed by a piece OF
demagogsm or political trick on the part OF frcs-
ident Cleveland. Vermont would be as seriously
affected as any other State by the enforcement OF tho
retaliatory against Canada but the people OF e

TO THE PUBLIC.

Our bank enters this day upon the sixth
year of its existence. The flattering success we
have met with we attribute mainly to three
causes, namely:
To the large and liberal accommodations we
extended to our friends during period OF
very hard times; to our making it rule to
reciprocate the patronage vouchsafed US by
fostering the welfare of our customers and at
tending to their instructions promptly and
cOnsclentously; and to our being not only
conversant but thoroughly identified with the
principal interests Of southwest Texas.
We pay particular attention to our coec-
ton department, are close collectors. make
quick returns, and spare no efforts to send
back unpaid as few items as possible.
Handling large portion of the produce ex-
change tributary to this market, we are always
able to make the most favorable exchange
rates
Grateful for the confidence bestowed upon
us, apparent in the daily growth of our al
ready large business, we use this occasion to
thank our patrons heartily for past favors
and bespeak of them a continuance of the
same.
To the public at large we beg to say: Give
us a trial and we shall endeavor to convince
you that we apprec ate your custom. Yours
truly, O'CONNOR Il SULLIVAN. Bankers.
