HIS SPEECH AT PORTLAND.
He then delivered carefully prepared
neech of some four or five thousand words.
following is the opening paragraph and
,eynote Of his speech:
PARTIES have their years of depression and
heir wears of exutation, just as individuals
ave their moments OF depression and of good
,heer Parties have periods when they DO q
,reat work and periods when they seem 70 have
10 other hope than mere preservation OF exist
NICE Since 1874. when the republican party
irst faltered in its great duty Of preserving
liberty and equality before the law for all citi
ems Of the United States, republican House
# Rep esentatives has been rare.
THE CRY OF FRAUD.
This has not been because there is no longer a
,epubhcan majority, but because of fraud toe
,nparent to be denied and by ballotbox stuffiing
90 notorious to be disputed. Twenty-Five seats
n the House have been wrested from us under
tbe pen, defiant declaration that the southern
democratic white men shall not only rule the
black man of the south but the white man oil
he north.
THE FREE TRADE BUGABoo.
Two years ago, under the tremendous stress
caused by the battle set in array by the free
traders, the Republican party triumphed sc
signally that even the cohorts OF fraud were
routed and after few Intellectual struggles to
count us out we had the House by small
majority of 5, instead of our real majority Of
%. Long before congress had assembled the
air had been resonant with the hopes
and threats of the minority, with declara
tions that they were to rule in utter disregard
of the people of the United States. At the
very worst no measure should pass which did
not have the sanction of their high approval
If any man here thinks they reckoned without
their host, that they had no foundation OF
which to build their hopes and their threats, he
knows little Of the deep laid schemes Of many
years to render the republicans powerles'
whenever they should get control. For year,
rule has been piled upon rule, and decision
upon decision to render legislation dependent
upon the suffrance af the minority.
THE POWER OF OBSTRUCTION.
Filibusterng lurked in every line. The power
OF obstruction was without limit. You will nat
the time had majority should so strengthen
the minority. Ifyou will consider the nature o.
the TWO parties the cause cannot escape you
Inc democratic party wants no legislation. /
Is not charged with the progress of the world
All the southern men who control the party
want OF ask for is TO be let alone When tn,
Republican party comes into power it has vvorl
TO do If that action can be prevented wha
more should the southern democracy desire
Hence all other plans, whether in power or GU
oil power, are conferred in obstruction.
sLowNEss OF THE HOUSE
Now the House of Representatives is not G
body quick to do business under any set Of
t tRe dve ss large interests numbers 3Snv

some But the system which enabled one
member to hold the whole House at bay unit
tne going down of the sun, and then hold it nm
III physical exhaustion set it free and one-fiftl
TO hold II forever, was evidently system which
rendered elections useless and called a halt h
civilization itself. OF what use,was it to summon
INTO the held an army of orators to explain
mat great throng Of journals set themselves
70 explain to the people the needs of the hour
VI what use was an election itself, that grand
elimination OF the power Of the citizen, IL afts
al nothing could be done without the sanction
OF the beaten party? What statesman coul(
there be SO foolish as to battle for power witt
responsibility when he could have the sam
power without responsibility What kind of
