The diamond drill. (Crystal Falls, Iron County, Mich.) 1887-1996, 1888-11-03

The following are the points made by
iir. Blaine in his great speech in Chica-
10 Oct Goth:
The Republicans arraign Mr.. Cleveland
Tor falling short of the promises where
with bis administration was inaugurated
aud for disappointing the just expecta-
tons which his words inspired.
1. They arraign him for his failure
10 improve the civil service, as he prom
ised In every form OF words i'm which
official pledges could be expressed. In
stead of reform, there has been constant
deterioration. Instead of curing the
system of partisan removals, the Presi-
dent has developed IL 10 such an extent
that more officials have been removed
from Office during the present admins
tration. without charge and for mere
political reasons, than by any three OF
his predecessors i'm Office; even though
three may bc selected who were eight
years each in the Presidential chair.
2. The Republicans arraign the Pres
ident for having surrendered the rights
of the country in the fisheries OF the
North American coast I'm a manner de-
rogatory TO the dignity OF the Nation
and in utter disregard Of the rights OF
the fishermen. The question of the fish
cries has been "A subject Of dispute ever
since the war Of 1912, and never before
has the country, even in its days OF
weakness, been willing TO surrender TO
Great Britain the rights which now in
the days Of our prestige and power the
present administration abandons To the
sacrifice OF the national honor and the
destruction OF the rights of our brave
fishermen.
3. The Republicans arraign Mr.
Cleveland for his cruel disregard of the
rights Of poor and needy soldiers who
incurred their distress and their poverty
in the service of the Nation, and by the
intcrposition of the Presidents veto, were
deprived OF the pittance voted TO them
by Republican Senate and Democrat
ic House. Not only has the President
vetoed the general bill passed for the
relief Of all needy and dependent soldiers,
but in more than two hundred cases of
peculiar and personal sufrerings the
President has interposed his power 20
prevent these creditors OF the Nation
receiving their just dues,
4. TIE Republicans arraign the adj
ministration for having injustlv, with
out precedent and for PARTISAN reasons,
DISTINGUISHED 100000 American citizens
in the Territory Of Dakota. IL has been
the established practice of the Federal
Government To admit territory TO the
privileges Of State when il had suf-
ilcent population 90 entitle IL TO one
representative in Congress- habit that
was naturally and readily deduced from
a clause in the Federal Constitution.
Now when the electoral college is so
closely blanced that the power OF the
solid South aud two or three Northern
States TO seize the Presidency may be
disturbed IL 100000 citizens of Dakota
are admitted to their rightful inheri-
lance. the Democratic party and the
National administration make n com
bination 10 disfranchise that large body
of men. IL is worth while, fellow-cit-
zens. 10 contrast the condition Of Dakota
with that Of other States that have
been admitted 20 the Union, since
the old thirteen first formed National
Government. lCheers Dakota is
so thoroughly State in all her equip
ments. Ia all her power, that this year

mendous cheers. She has within her
borders "a larger mileage OF railroad than
any one OF the sixteen Southern States,
except Missouri and Texas: larger
mileage than any one Of the New Eng
land States. and nearly as many as all
New England together; and, more strik-
ing than all else, the population of Da-
koiA il larger than any one OF twelve
States now in the Union, as shown by
the last Federal census.
.. The Republicans arrnign President
Cleveland's administration for breaking
down the useful policy OF paying off the
National debt "a rapidly as the surplus

mitted bonds OF the United States, pay
