| aspiration OF American youth, James A:
Garneld. Then that admirable oftlcer and
model gentleman, Chester A. Arthur. We
honor and express our best wishes for long
lie and happiness for Rutherford B. Bayes,
ana whatever may be the outcome OF this
convention. it will place upon record It's
pride in the wonderfully useful and patriotic
administration of Benjamin Harrison.
Democrats Must Take to the Woods.
Our Democratic friends seem to be re-
markably deficient i'll Presidential timber
1t is Cleveland or Hill and nothing beyond
Cleveland and reform, or Hill without re-
form. That peerless journalist Henry Wat
terson has recently said that the Democratic
party was between the devil and the dark
Dlue sea. BY which one of these metaphors
he intended to refer to Cleveland ana wnlcn
one to Hill. he does not say, but he leaves
the Democratic voters who are seeking
light and safety III the condition OF the
colored convert when the preacher ae;
clared that he had hell on one side and
G&mnation on the other. Then says he,
DIS darkey takes to de woods"
But the Republicans are embarrassed with
riches. OHIO, as the mother OF Presidents
and mistress of offices, has upon this plat
!orm admirable qualifications for the Chiet
Ma%istracy IN Governor MCKINLEY. Sne mas
4 statesman hose creative mind has formu-
lated the best legisla ZION of the country,
ana whose name will live forever as one OF
the greatest of American statesmen-John
sherman. Iowa has the experienced anu
able Allison, Vermont has Edmunds: Mlchl-
gan, Alger: Wisconsin, Ru>k; Illinois, Gull
lom and Lincoln. j might exhaust your pa
tlence before exhausted the list.
There are two names which at present
belong to no State, but to the country. One,
that singularly lifted statesman who has
contributed SO much to the improvement OF
our industrial possibilities and the glory OF
American diplonacy-James 6. Blaine
A Boom for the President.
eloquent soldier, Senator and President, who
upon the platform of the people and in the
chair OF the magistrate has maintained
the best traditions of the Presiden-
tai oflice-Benjamin Harrison. The Re
publican party is united in its policy
in every part of the Union, except where,
here and there the bngle may give shriller
note because there is more silver on the
instrument.
The Democratic party is bopelessly di-
vided upon its industrial policy and on the
crucial question of sound finance and hon.
est currency. A Democratic voter, anxious
to understand what his party believes, who
reads first Cleveland with clear utterances
on the one side and then eight-tenths of his
party leaders with their emphatic deoara-
tions on the other, and then studies Gov
ernor Hills mastery balancing on the fnan-
cial fence, viii be mentally in the inebriated
condition of the alcoholized chamois of the
Swiss mountains who jumps from jag to jag
1t is cninently fitting and proper that tins
great hall, which was built to house the pro-
ducts OF the factory and the farms of Mime
sofa, should be dedicated to the use Of q
National Convention for the Republican
party. The Republican party has solved
the problem OF the harmonious activities
and the mutual prosperity of the farm and
energy ana usefully employed capital which
are so rapidly developing the resources of our
country, with employment and good wages
to the laborer and ever-increasing homes to
the thrifty and industrious. There is some
thing sublime in the significance of this e1-
hibiton of great people governing them
selves 1t can be equaled in grandeur only
by the gathering from the sea and the land
OF those who will respond to the last tramp
when the assembled universe stands before
the Great Judge.
Watched by the American People.
Its deliberations will be watched with
equal interest by friend and foe. They will
be carefully studied by the lovers of liberty
all over the world. May partisanship. with
out passion, individual Judgment made def
erential to the views of others, and patri-
otic effort for the right, so guide and control
the action of this convention that its nomi-
nees and principles shall command the sup
port and receive the appreciation of the
American people. Tremendous applause.l
Mr.. Depew's allusicns to various possible
Presidential candidates were received with
various degrees of applause. When he
spoke of y ohm Sherman there was round of
cheers. Michigan's Alger was greeted
with applause as were also Allison, Rusk
and Lincoln. When he had reached the
point where better known names were to
come, voice in the gallery shouted "Hur-
rah for Blaine, and the audience broke out
into wild burst OF cheering, waving of
and swinging of umbrellas
Mr.. Depew inquired with grimace: ''I
wonder who is running this speech any,
how?" aud the audience received this ad- |
with hurricane of laughter and |
cheers Mr.. Depew's mention of President |
Harrison's name elected from the great |
a demonstration of cheers, UNI
brellas and handkerchiefs, which, if any,
thing, passed that which was given to Mr.
Blaine.
The entertainment closed about 10 o'clock
with the singing by the vast audience of
the national hymn, America.
