SOUND DOCTRINES FROM DOWN EAST.

SIDE or this great country In which the
people lived under one flag and one
destiny. He had travelled farther than
ever before and had q better concep-
ton OF the grand extent OF the country
than previously. Though q long dis
tance from home, he felt as much at
home here as in his own city, the main
wish OF which Is to send out an appeal
to the loyal people to rise In defense
Of the flag and the national welfare.
Applause)
He brought a message Of comradeship
and brotherly greeting from the peo-
pie Of the great commonwealth Of the
East, from the loyal Democrats Of the
country. He came with a message
from the good citizens and confidence
that this people would rise to the occa.-
sion and do their duty. Since he came
here he had breathed an atmosphere
Of Americanism throughout and he felt
that after the election the star Of CAL
ifornia would shine foremost in the
bright galaxy Of States. (Cheers.)
LOYAL CALIFORNIANS.
Referring to the deep interest Cali
fornians had always taken in James G.
Blaine and their undertaking devotion
to him, Mr.. Boutelle said that as long as
memory lasts the name OF California
will be linked with that OF James G.
Blaine. He wished Blaine were here in
stead of himSelf-he whose voice was
ever raised in defense of national honor
and national greatness. But in his hum
bic way, in far less glowing rhetoric,
and in far less forcible argument than
Blaine would have used, he brought the
greeting of the Republicanism Of the
East and the middle West and Of the
patriotic Democracy too. He didn't
know how many miles ks had Travelled,
but were they ten times more he should
feel more than repaid by the generous
reception given him by the people Of
California
He had not come bearing amy message
from any particular class Of people or
the interests of any particular section,
but stood here an humble but sincere
champion of that great political organd-
zation which bears on It's shield eli
deity to every man, woman and child In
the country" He would fail Of his pur-
pose if anyone left the hall embittered
by anything he had said against any
class The Republican party has never
set the interests of one class UP as para
mount to those or any other. 1t has ever
class beneath the only banner II ever
unfurled, the stars and stripes.
REMARKABLE CAMPAIGN.
We are in the midst Of a most re-
markable campaign. And yet when he
faced intelligent audiences he narveled
that any man should feel called on to
raise his voice against the assaults
x hich threaten not only our country's
security but it's life. From the north
eastern corner of Maine-and he came
from where the sun rises-he had
travelled hither, and everywhere had
found that wonderful cohesion which Is
welding the great Republican party as
it has never been welded before. And
the better part Of the Democratic party
Is standing shoulder to shoulder with
US as it did when the Nations life was
at stake during the war. He could ap-
preciate, and Il there are any Demo
Gratis present who had broken with their
party in this crisis they could appreci-
ate better than he what it costs to shake
off party discipline and release oneself
from party control For party discipline
| has ever been stronger in that party
| which was wrought into organization by
| Jackson and worships at the shrine of
| Jefferson than in the Republican party.
| But those who are now masQuerading
as the Democratic party are not wor-
Shipping at the shrine of Jefferson. They
| have stolen the livery of Democracy to
serve somebody else in.
| If any one proposed to vote the DEM
ocratic ticket because 1t Is the Demo-
| cratic ticket, he asked him to go over
| the roster of the great names OF that
| party and see how few OF them are
! standing under that banner. Over oOO
| great Democratic dailies in every great
| city Of the Union are urging the De-
| rnocracy to oppose the Populistc plat
| form and candidates Of the Chicago
| Convention and stand shoulder to
| shoulder with US in preserving the hon
| or of the nation.
CAUSE OF DISTRESS.
What has furnished the opportunity
10 bring forward this doctrine, be-
/ l.eved by the whole Of one great party
| and by the best part of another to be
| destructive and ruinous and set It as
| a menace to our institutions? The an
/ swer is not far to seek. There is dis
/ tress in the land. Somebody else is
| Gcing the work and receiving t..e wage
/ that ought to be done and received by
| The American people.
| During the whole Of his public life
/ and before there had been going on a
discussion as to what would most con-
1 duce to the welfare Of the American
| rcOple We have ransacked the libra
| rles OF the world in our study of pollt-
| ltaI economy. We have discussed from
| very platform and rostrum in the land
| ne questions Of protection, tariff for
/ : venue and free trade. From every
\ \ atform the most diametrically op-
1site views on these question: have
| been advanced. We have tried every
| experiment., and he affirmed without
| ar of contradiction that we have
/ raached the conclusion that that policy
| SIS most conducive to our interests which
| GIversifes industry by protective tar
| h. bringing the farmer to the door Of
| tie manufacturer. and market for
i lis product to the threshold Of the
| farmer.
We have demonstrated beyond con-
Il oversy that that policy Is the best,
1-l cause he stood upon the inmutable
figures and facts of thirty years. From
1861 to 1892 this great Nation made the
| most marvellous advance in the world.
/ And a strange coincidence it may seem
to some that that period began with the
| administration of that great Republi-
| can. President Abraham Lincoln, and
| ended with the Administration Of the
| last Republican President under the
influence Of the legislation with which
| is connected the name Of the next Pres
ident.
