ofsEmmons Blaine at Chicago. No COM
ment can add color to this bare statement
of the facts. Only Mrs. Walter Damrosch,
nee Margaret Blaine, her sister Harriet and
James g. Blaine, Jr., remain to comfort
their afflicted mother. When the heat en-
gendered by the late campaign shall have
cooled the world will judge very leniently
the actions of the secretary during the
Minneapolis convention.
IngersoiIs Eloquent Tribute.
The noblest eulogy on the departed
statesman's political career and principles
was that uttered by Colonel Robert G. In
gersoll in the Republican national conven-
tion of 1876 It's therefore submitted here
entire as the tittest ending of this sketch:
Massachusetts may be satisfied with the 10y
atty of Benjallin II. Bristow. So am l. But IL
any man nominated by this convention cannot
carry the state Of Massachusetts, | am not sat
isfed with the loyalty Of that state. II the
nominee Of this convention cannot carry the
grand old commonwealth of Massachusetts, by
1900 majority, would advise them TO sell out
Faneuil hall as Democratic headquarters. !
would advise them to take from Bunker Hill
that old monument Of glory.
The Republicans of the United States de-
mand as their leader in the great contest in
1876 a man of intelligence, a man of integrity, a
man of well known and approved political
opinions. They demand a reformer after as
well as before the election. They demand a
politician in the highest, broadest and best
sense-a man of superb moral courage. They
demand a man acquainted with public affairs,
with the wants of the people, with not only the
requirements of tho hour, but with the de-
mands of the future They demand q man
broad enough TO comprehend the relations OF
this government TO the other nations of the
earth. They demand n man well versed in tho
powers, duties and prerogGuves of each and
every department of this government.
They demand man who will sacredly pre-
serve the financial honor of the United States:
one who knows enough TO know that the ma
tional debt must be paid through the prosperity
of this people; one who knows enough TO know
that all the financial theories in the world can
not redeem singie dollar; one who Knows
enough to know that all the money must be
paid not by law, but by labor; one who knows
enough to know that the people Of the United
States have the industry to make the money
and the honor to pay 1t over just as fast as they
make II.
The Republicans of the United States de-
mand q man who knows that prosperity and
resumption when they come must come L =
gether; that when they come they will come
hand in hand through the golden harvest fields;
hand in hand by the whirling spindles and the
furnace doors; hand in hand by the flaming
forges hand in hand by the chimneys filed
with eager fre-greeted and grasped by the
countless sons Of toll.
This money has to be dug out of the earth.
You cannot mako 1t by passing resolutions in u
political convention.
The Republicans of the United States want q
man who knows that this government should
protect every citizen at home and abroad; who
knows that any government that will not de.
fend its defenders and protect its protectors Is
disgrace TO the map of the world. They de-
and 0 man who believes in the eternal sepa-
ration and enforcement Of church and school
They demand O man whose political reputation
is spotless as a star; but they do not demand
that their candidate shall have a certificate OF
moral character signed by Confederate con,
gress. The man who has in full heaped and
rounded measure all these splendid qualifca'
tions is the present grand and gallant leader oi
the Republican party-James G. Blaine.
Our country, crowned with the vast and
marvellous achievements Of its first century
asks for man worthy Of the past and prophetic
Of her future; asks for a man who has the au
da2itY Of geniGsi asks for man who Is thi
