Prof. Lugger, state en~tomologist, addressed .

We enter upon the proceedings of this
convention prepared TO sacrifice our in
dividual judgment to the wisdom of the
majority, and to lay down our personal
preferences upon the altar of party sue
cess. A glowing tribute was paid to the
late John A. Logan. Closing his culogy
he said, Side by side with old John
Brown, Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses
Grant his soul goes marching on" We
arc prominently the party Of protection,
born of the irrcprcssiblc desire to protect
the slave from the lash of his muster and
to saw our civilization from the blighting
curse of that crime against humanity.
Thurston's reference to the leaders OF
"a was greeted with wild applause.
ThurstOn says we dare not commit the
political crime of disobedienccto B!ainc's
expressed will. (Grcat counter APP
plausc.)
HEADING OFF blaine.
Thurston then referred to Blaine as the
Republican chcvalicr and the nightmare
of the Democracy, the greatest living
American and the object of our undying
love. But we must and dare not place
him in nomination after the expression of
his wishes. His reference to the growing
west and the Grand Army of the Repub.
lie was loudly %applaudcd by the friends
of western candidates, and there Was
great laughter and cheers when Thurston
said Clcveland's administration was re-
markable for nothing but its ''%innocuouc
dcsuetude."
Speaking of the present administration
Mr.. Thurston facetiously remarked that
1t was most satisfactory TO those holding
office.
In closing Mr.. Thurston said: "when
Robert Bruce. king of Scotland, lay upon
his dying bed he requested that his heart
be taken from his inanimate body and
born by knightly hands to the saviour's
