NORWICH, Conn, November IAN en-
thusiastic crowd of twenty-five thousand
people gathered at Williams Park o-day
to hear James G. Blaine speak upon the
issues of the campaign. The crowd had
come from all the surrounding points,
and a large portion of it from Rhode
Island. When the orator mounted the
stand and presented himself at the rail
he was cheered by thousands who, when
he had begun to speak, were too far away
to hear him, but who cheered vigorously
when others cheered. After discussing
the tariff question, Mr.. Blaine said:
Ihave heard of speech by Mr.. Bayard,
Secretary OF State. He is gentleman OF
very high sentiments. In fact, there is
nobody who speaks the English language,
so far as know, since Joseph Surface,
VINO has so fine sentiments as Mr.. Bayard.
MIR. Bayard's speech is devoted to the
wicked conspiracy of the Republicans.

Thurman has taken that word, 1.-THE

peculiar position, because if there was

says: Here is a most unprincipled
monstrous conspiracy against this
man, and in consequence of this
conspiracy, of which l cannot get the
authors, will send Lord Sackville back
home and make him bear the sins ol
these conspirators." This is a very re.
markable statement. They acknowledge
that they are not quick to do so, but
after ten days, and after they have re.

parts of the country that if they did not
start Lord Sackville, the Irish vote
would start, then Lord Sackville had to

Administration deliberately weighed
Lord Sackville against the Irish vote and
started him.
