8Iuurp Contrasts Between Blaine and Cleveland, Logan and Hendriekt Independent Inconsistency,

BprJagflekl (Han.) special to tbe Boston Journal.! By the Bepobtfcan8nd others of this city the campaign was commenced to-night with a procisssfau through the principal streets, a display of fireworks and Illuminations, and a crowded and demonstrative meeting in the City Hall. Got. Hobmsjn, who came np from Boston on an afternoon train to participate, was escorted to the halt by torch-bearer and others. Mayor Phillips, who presided at the mcetbur. which was called to order by the Hon. William H. Halle, spoke briefly of the certainty of the anocessot the Republican ticket, both national and Btate, and introduced to the andienoe his Excellency Gov. Robinson, who was greeted wtth long-continued applause and cheers. The Governor said: THE ISSUC It is indeed a pleasant privilege to bo permitted to-nUrht to come to your presence and to iota with yon in the consideration and discussion ox topics that concern not only the wellbeing of every nun, bnt welfare of the country. The scenes of to-night remind one of those of the years that have gone from I860 down to tbe present hour, when tbe Republican party, meetingthe issue of the hour, has gone into the field sue, firm in principle, tearless in carriage, and marched straight oa to that victory that the - American people welcomed. rApplan-e.1 We eontr-now to see whether we shall proceed as before, or if perchance it may be that there is a better way in lss. Let us to-night like men be free as possible from prejudice. Let as discuss openly and fearlessly. In a political disenssion of the eharactcr that we have now before ns we must, of course, consider candidates and primacies. We have various candidates before tbe people, bnt the election lies between the candidates of Democratio and Republican parties as it has since 1880. SLAIKS SHD CLE WT VTV THE PXXABS OUII.TY. Sow, gentlemen. I shall spend bat little time in talking about Candida' es, because they are supposed by the people to represent the parties that put them ta nomination. If they do, then we pass at once beyond the threshold and grapple wita tbe questions that the parties inaugurate and indorse. Mark yon one thing very significant in this camralgn, our political opponents started at the outset with an attack upon both the candidates placed In the field by the Katknud Republican party. They made serious charges against Mr. Blaine; they made similar

or me same character, nut equauy serious, oat Mr. Lena, and then because some one

believed that thsse cha ees were unfounded

and baseless, then because some one replied to those charges, it was said the Republicans are all the time on their defense. Have Ton any principles? Do you be.kve in tbe candidates? If yon have, and yon havo the courage of a cat, yott win stand np and reply when that party and those candidates ar attacked. I Applause. Standing up, however, and meeting tn acensatkm does not necessarily mean that vo? are to

resort to mean things on either side. That is

not argument. That is not worthy of th? contost, and it is not a snbiect of consideration be

fore an intelligent people. Hark yon, there

js one nun very peculiar anons inn discussion of the characters of the candidates this falL The reply comes to any critJdsm on the part of tbe Republicans against the Democrats' candidate that it is unbecoming to discuss these charges from a public platform. It will not do for yon, sir, to appear before an audience and discuss the character of the Democrats' candidate. Well, why not? Who -is to blame 'f The audience or the candidate V I will agree at the outset that it is not pleasant in any

npany to treat or tne onenses commntea oy Democratic candidate for the Presidency,

and I do not propose to enlarge upon them. Thoy are understood by the American people, and unless I mistake the judgment of this great people of tbe United States they will never elevate to theoffice of their highest gift a man who pleads guilty to those charges. I have no patfcence at all with the doctr.ne that it is no concern of the public what the private life of a public officer is, and I known that tbe clean men and women ,of Massachusetts are far enough in the lisht to put their enm alined eondemnatkm upon the doctrine that asserts that. IlEave the further discussion of that candidate. A word or two about Mr. Hendricks, tho possible President in case the other man should be sleeted, which is not a probability. XKDSPSSDENT3 OX HBXDftlCKS. It has been said that the attacks upon Mr. Hendricks are unjustified. Well, all I have to say Is, lookback over the files of the newspapers to the time of his former candidacy in WW. Kow they say the Republicans then, of course, condemned him. Certainly they did. The Democratic press defended him; that yon expected, certainly. But we will take those that stand between the two -tbe Independents. I wish yon would look at the remarks of their nsiwspnsersinl8.fi about Thomas A. Hendricks and Ids fitness for the candidacy for tbe Vice PwalnVilii i. and when von look them nn von

TBS HIS WTTIRTVIT!

I want to say something about James G. Blaine

na4amiA.ijogan. icis tne Dusiaessoi every man in tUmHmw with nubile anastfcma. whether

he be one that speaks from a public platform or simply one who is busy with his own concerns, in dealing with every problem of citisenehipit Js his business to keepabreast of the times, to know what is going oa; and now, within the last two date, we have bad spread before the people of the Commonwealth yes, before the eyes and ears at the people of the country what ia said to be fresh and new evidence bearing against the character of Mr. Bhdne. I do not allude to the famous publications that have been discussed and discussed. Ten. gentlemen. 1 know, have vour own

aces aoout.Uiem. l wui not attempt testate

i or (uear suostance, io compare inese

Jons; statements with each other, point by point, would take more, time now than we have at our command: bnt we arc bound to-night, here and now, I by myself and you each one by yourselves, to flna eat wnether there is anything new and ""'irlT In what recently came ont. because my vow rests upon my own

ua is au, ana yours nas as good a

i that your own common sense Let us look into those tetters that

have been nnblished within a day or two to

ass what there is new in them. THAT XiTTOXil, BAKE. One thing hi entirely new; now let us look at it. There are three letters that refer to the establishment of a national bank in Little Rock, Ark. Now, it is not a ehtrge against a man that be has some concern with a national hank. By no means. It is of no consequence in this discussion, unless it be made to appear that Mr. Blaine was in some way improperly connected with that enterprise. It would not hold if he held stock in l hat bank; it would not hold if he

oncer m tnat rnstnutton. The only t yon want to know is. Did he do any-

c wrong about that bank? And now. what

no tne letters anowf need tnem tor yourselves; don't take my word for anything: take your own eyesight and sense. The first one, written in 1893, during the vacation of Congress, from Augusta, He, states what? That there was likely to be an increase of banking capital allowed at tbe next session of ConrM, and that it would probably be distributed tbe Southwest. In it the suggestion was made to Mr. Fisher, the gentleman to whom it was written: "Possibly you and your friends might like to establish a bank there.' They ware connected with railroad enterprises then. Here may be an opportunity, and Mr. Blaine offers bta assistance to aid in getting the establishment of a bank out there. Now what is there about it besides that? Nothing whatever. Tbere Is another letter which treats of the same subject, but only briefly, and there is another which describes the character of the bonds that must be used as a bads of their circulation. What is there in the litters that is "specious, as it is said." The expression Is used, "These matters are decided by favoritism," and then he says: "I may be able to aid you." These are the two expressions. Take them for what they are worth. A KATm Ton m eoxprwftun, sot ccwOBESS. What was Mr. Blame's connection with the establishment of that bank? And what could ft be? He was Speaker of tbe House of Representatives, Congress would pass a law providing for more banking capital, and perhaps it would be located in tee South and West, although that was not probable. Dora Congress deetoe just where tbe banks shall be i r who shall be given their charters? Does Congress have any voice in the matter! No. Who? The Secretary of the Treasury or the Comptroller of the Currency. It is purely an executive duty, not a legislative. Does anybody argue that that bank was to be established without any capital as a special favor to Mr. Blaine? That they were going to. re'- ;o,'i in bills for circulation without putting anything in? Nobody says Oat it wouitl be frivolous, and what did the information amount to? 'What couM ft accomplish? Nothing, as I anderstand ft. except that which every member of Coneress is glad to provide his constituent, fori want to tell you that a member of Congress is a first-class errand-boy for every bedy In tbe Commonwealth. I ay for constituents, yes. These were not In Maine, yon say. But so far as the motive, and the purpose, and tbe correctness of tbe act wero concerned. I fall to sec where It makes any difference whether tbe hank was established in Arkansas or Mai e. At all events, there seems to be no doubt that Mr. Blaine said to the Con-

of the currency. These geotwmen wane

r in Utile Roek." I am later Jted the bank

st.' Wished there. So tar as is known, it ;er failed Cheated creditors. That

it all lean find in the bank matter. rApphuss. And, gentlemen, I want to say one thing frankly and ritrwetlw vpnilA vnn am follnwhur eritiaallv.

as you shonld, every public man, consider your relations to public servants, and if it is wrong for your member in Washington to Intercede in your behalf In any way there, I snegest that

yon oe a little moacst in aoing it. lappiausej. AN INNOCENT MAN CHEATED BY SHARPERS. Now, in regard to the other portions of that tmblirAtion. There is reference to that transac

tion that was described quite at length, and that

has been a suotect of cuscusbioii tor eient years.

What was tbe charge against Mr. Blaine at the outset In that matter? This, that ho used bis

public position lor private ana personal gain. Now. if he did. be deserves our condemnation:

it he did not, then, of course, we have no right

to put aim unaer suspicion arter we nave nan an opportunity for investigation. Do these letters do anything to support that charge? I fail to find it. These letters, on the contrary, show that Mr. Blame found himself In an unfortunate position. He had attempted to speculate and had not succeeded. What does he say to these men to whom he was writing? "I am only an tamocant party to the transaction,'' Of course, you say B would say that to men outside, but as totuese two men the charge u, he was in connivance with them. If he was they knew it, and if they knew it and he knew it, do you think he is so lacking in sense that ho would write them that lie was an innocent party to the enterprise? That is not the way men do who set out by connivance and fraud to overreach others. BASELESS CHARGES. In the next place, you will notice a letter, tho last one in the series, in which the statement Is made that he wished Mr. Fisher to sign what was false from beginning to end. That is a serious charge. Tbere are circumstances, it is claimed, which sustain that assertion. But look again. In the very letter which he sent inclosing the one for signature he writes the man who knew just as well as be did, all about it (and he didn't write it for publication eitheri. Bear that in mind ; there was a "private" at the top of it and "born It up at the bottom. "These statements are true and honorable alike to yon and to me, and will stop the month of slander." I have yet to find or see any explanation of that language, written, it is claimed, by a man, who knew he was a rascal to another who was a ras

cal, which will elear out that claim. If they

were ox urns coaractcr sunn language as l nest: statements are strictly true," would not have been used between them. I find, then, I am bound to say In justice to him, in justice to tbe good sense of the people, in justice to myself, there is no support of the charge that was made against him as a basis for the investigation ot eight years ago. fApplanscJ HONESTY 1TCYEB FEARFUL. It Is said, however, that this is fresh evidence that Mr. Blaine is guilty of falsehood, or has been at some time. That seems to be coming down pretty close to the domain ot private life, with which the public hare not any concern, you know. Applause. I am bound to go further and say that is a question of the consideration of papers not yet produced. It must be evident to anybody who has examined the scries that not all are produced. Mr. Blaine has no opportunity In a paper to reply, and, nnder the ctrcnms"inees, with the charges falling around in every other way, I think we may safely say that . is only the part ot reasonable prudence and Cairness to withhold that accusation. When there is a reasonable opportunity I have no doubt Mr. Blaine will meet these charges. At an events instead of saying the men who make tho charges against him "Tell the truth," he says, "thing the men into court and I will meet them. Now, gentlemen, I know very well that I have not t xhansted the discussion of that branch of the question, but I say to you that you are bound to read and judge for yourselves, not take my words as any authority in the matter. Mr. Blaine says, as you know, speaking for himself: "I wan-: the whole American people to read all those letters, and I will cheerfully abide by the result." When the gentleman against whom charges ot this character are made thus openly and frankly makes that statement, take him at '.is word, and as honest men look tor your-

seivvs. rtnab we say in puuiiu places is discussed thereafter and criticised, and opportunities will not be afforded to make a reply, but if each one will caret ally consider these charges we will not take his name from the flag. Applause. J John A. Logan speaks for himself. TApplanseJ We are content to match him alongside Ids opponent (applause), and, though I prize education very highly, and though I would havo a man cultivated and adorned to the full, at the same time I have a good deal of respect for that old hard sense, that common honesty, and loyal patriotism which have actuated John A. Logan for more than twenty years. Applause. ANOTHER LIE JfAIXEP. Mr. Blaine Haw No Connection with tho Hocking Valley Syndicate. Clcveland.tO.) spectaLJ A few days ago dispatches, based upon a Columbus communication to an evening paper here, were sent over tbe country detailing the alleged connection of Mr. Blaine with the coal syndicate now at war with the miners of the Hocking Valley. Judge S Bnrke, Vico-Presi-dest of the Bee Line and Columbus and Hock-l-g Valley Railways, and a large owner ot mining property ta the valley, said to-day: "As to Blaine's connection with the Hocking syndicate he doesnt own a dollar in it. IH tell yon how the Blaine story originated. The Standard Coal and Iron Company was organized by a man named Lee, ot Newark, not Norwalk, as has been published. It had a capital of $75,000, which was subsequently reduced to t2t,M0. It issued bonds on some coal lands on which there were already liens, and the syndicate borrowed some money ot Mr. Blaine, giving as security some of these bonds. The company went to pieces more than two years ago, blew its iron furnaces out, closed its coal mines, and ceased business. It has not shipped a pound ot coal in two years. Recently an effort to reorganize It was made, and I beUeva they have tried to start up aeain, but men holding the class of securities which Mr. Blaine had

were left out entirely, and Blaine lost every dollar he loaned on the bonds. Gov. Foster is similarly situated and owns no interest in the syndicate."

He was one of eleven Senators who voted against tbe fourteenth amendment to the Constitution (conferring citizenship upon the negroes and prohibiting the payment ot rebel He was one of thirteen Senators who voted against the fifteenth amendment (establishing negro surf rage). Ha was one of twelve who voted against the civil rights bill. He was one of fifteen who voted against passing the same over President Johnson's veto. He was one of the seven who voted against the reconstruction act ot the Thirty-seventh Congress, and one of ten who voted against passing it over. the veto. He waa one of thirteen who voted against the first bill for the admission of Colorado, and one or twelve who voted against the second Colorado bill both being vetoed by President Johnson. He was one of fourteen who voted against the admission of Nebraska, and one of nine who voted against passing the bill over the veto in 1867. These are a few reasons why the people of the West, and especially of Colorado and Nebraska, will not help to make Hendricks presiding officer of the body be did so little to adorn when he was a member of it. Chicago Tribune. Mr. Blaine Receives a Itetegatioa of Clergymen. A delegation of Methodist clergymen, numbering over one hundred, and headed by Bishop King, of Brooklyn, waited on Mr. Blaino at bis hotel In New York City. Mr. Blaine had no notice of their coming, but was greatly pleased at.the visit. The delegation represented in tbe aggr gate about 50,000 people, and through Bi"bop King the members declared that the call was the result of deliberate consultation. They had examined, he Bald, into every one of the Charges made against Mr. Blaine, and thoy had discovered absolutely nothing to shake their confidence in him. At the same time they had come to the conclusion that every man who was an advocate of pure morals and decent life should support his candidacy. Mr. Blaine cordially thanked bis visitors for their expression of confidence. Tbe Incident gives great satisfaction to tbe Republican leaders, and is particularly significant in view ot the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's declaration in favor of Cleveland, which la unmercifully ridiculed by secular people and universally condemned by religious men. It will but serve to keep the Haipin scandal prominently before the public The Kepuhlican party has paid over a thousand millions' ox Democratic war debt, and reduced the annual interest account from 9150,000,000 to lees than $50,000,000.

CARL SCHURZ ANSWERED.

Gh F. Hoar's Tribute to SlaineEaroest Words for IrishAmerican Citizens.

How Cleveland Has Been Toting? for the Last Twenty-four Years.

At a recent Republican rally at Salem, Mass., Senator Hoar spoke as follows : Mr. Blaine has been called a Jingo. I think he is very much such a Jingo as tho last Massachusetts President, John Quincy Adams, was. I think he means to cultivate friendly relations with every other nation, especially with those of the American continent, and ho means to have it understood that if an American citizen.

whether by birth or by adoption, goes auywhero on the face of tho earth, ho is to be respectod accordingly. He means, I think, to sum up his foreign policy in one sentence we ask for no Injustice and we will stand no nonsense. Now I should liko to ask any Englishman, or Scotchman, or Irishman in the County of Eso if the picture I have drawn of the condition of the workingman that ho left behind him, and the condition of the workingman hero, is not true to the letter. And I should liko to ask, and I should like to havo yon ask your Irish neighbors, what reason they can give, while they came here to get ont from under the heel of England, for voting for the policy which England is eaiicr to havo this country adopt. The Iiishman was a British subject In Ireland, but ho didn't have an American vote. The Irishman who votes tho Democratic ticket in Essex County is ten times a British subject, and, mifortunately, in that subjecting, he is caRtlng an American vote. Our Democratic brethren offer to our suffrages Grover Cleveland and Gov. Hendricks. And what do you know of either of them? Do you know anything of Grover Cleveland fit to be eublicly discussed, except that ho has been all is lifetime a blind and obedient lollower of a Sirty always in the wrong? Ho is 60 years old. a voted for President in I860. I don't know whether ho voted for Jeff Davis or for what other ot the Democratic candidates ot that year, bnt he didn't vote for Abraham Lincoln, In 1864 the question was pnt to the American people, "Shall our army be called home in disgrace; shall this war stop; shall the South go; shall the Hag be folded up and laid away; shall the country perish?" "Aye," said Grover Cleveland. The question was pnt to tbe American people in 1868, "Shall the slave continue a slave; shill the old rebel set his heel on his neck again, or shall the constitutional amendment, which makes of the slave a freeman, and of the treeman a citizen, and of the citizen a voter, be inscribed on tho Constitution?" "No," said Grover Cleveland. The question cams In 1810, "Shall tbe debt bo repudiated; shall tho currency continue to bo debased: shall the American coin, with which the workmen's wages, and the soldiers' pensions, and the savings-banks deposits are to be paid, do a debased currency?" "Aye." said Grover Cleveland. And, now. what does he tell you in his letter of acceptance and his speech of acceptance? Here are plenty of living issues. Shall the great Mormon cancer spread over the breast ot this continent? Shall the South continue fraudulent voting and criminal practices? Shall the protective policy on which tho workman's wages and the comfort of his home depend continue? What says Grover Cleveland as to these questions? He says not one word upon all these great, vital issues not one word. He says simply, "I am chosen to execute the plans, purposes, and policy of the Dcmocratio eirty" and if he is elected he will do it. And endricks is like nnto him, with the single exception that, while Cleveland has been In obscurity, Hendricks has been a leader and an actor in all the Democratic policies of the past He sat in the Senate throughout the war, embarrassing Abraham Lino oln by every vote he east and every speech ho made-his votes recorded against the constitutional amendment abolishing slavery: his votes recorded against

every proposition to raise troops; and he commends himself to tho civil service reformers by the declaration that the first thing to bo done by a Democratic administration is to turn out 50,000 Republican officeholders and put 60,000 Democrats in their stead. Now. fellow-citizens, I thank God that wo have candidates with no such miserable records. We have candidates both ot them worthy Of the enthusiastic support of every man. Ton know something of tho principles, the policy.

tho purposes of the Republican party. They are written in letters of light on your country's history, as they are in the platform adopted at Chicago, and James G. Blaine has been selected to carry out the principles, and tho policy, and tho purposes of the Republican party. And be is about to do It. Has there ever been a candidate since the Republican party was organized

so well conunenaea to you as sir, ununer inu yon know as much about Abraham Lincoln

when you voted for him? Did you know as much about Grant, in civil life. I mean, when

you first voted for him? Did you know as much about Hayes when you voted for him? I think the choice of the groat Republican party ot this country ought to count for something.

xney nave not macie a mistake even wncn tncy took an obscure man. comparatively, for their

candidate They knew what they wore about. And they havo not made a mistake when thoy

nave tasen tne one most conspicuous person in civil life in America. Why, they talk about their charges! I suppose you have heard country lawyers argue a case when they hadn't got. much evldonoe on their side and don't understand me as speaking contemptuously of country lawyers, because I am one of that kind myself. Laughter. ) But with almost any com plica tod state of facts, and

figures and correspondence a shrewd and crafty

man can get up ana, oy snacinc rus ncao, ana sneering, and declaring that the thing you thought was innocent was dono tor a guilty purpose, and with a guilty motive, can make out an apparently plausible story before somobodywho does not know anything about the case. And that is the attempt in these charges against Mr. Blaine. There are four of these lettersall that Mr. Schnrz quoted in his speech and in his letter and I should like to havo them printed and put into the hands of every Republican voter In Massachusetts. All there is ot them is tho charge that when Mr. Blaine reminded bis correspondent of a perfectly honest and righteous ruling, he did it not innocently and honestly, but for a corrupt purpose, and to imply that if he could make a trade with the i man he would do him such a favor again. Now, I think Mr. Blaine is entitled to the charity with which yon would judge the humblest and the most obscure man in your own neighborhood. Suppose these letters had been written by a watchman in Lynn or a policeman in Haverhill, and not by a candidate for the great office of President, and all his . neighbors came torward and said to yon : This man wo have known from his youth up, through and through; he is ' a perfetly honest man. Suppose the men who had quarreled with him and fought so far as in

tnem my tne nign nonor wmcn can omy oe given in full by tho whole people ot the United States. What they think of him you can judge by tho tremendous majority in that State.

What the people of the United States think of

him srsimilar result in -November is certain to show. Tho applause which greeted this nro-

dictlon was suddenly hushed by a blinding flash of lightning, followed instantly by a tremendous roar of thunder. 1

'i he people of the state of Maine hare just spoken. That is the one rcommnnity on this earth which would not tolerate a knave if they knew it, and from whose intelligence a knave could not hide himself if he tried. It stands, I believe, at tho head ot all tho communities on i the face of the globe in the capacity to read and write, in the education ot its people. It is an unmixed Enslish blood, and I speak of tbatonly to show that they have been used to self-government and to choose their rulers for two centuries. Over and over again Democrats leaving

weir party w uo is, tne pcopio oi aiaine nave declared their love for and their confidence in this man. The United Stales Senate was iust

half-Democratic when Mr. Blaine was proposed to them by Gon. Gaifleld for the office of Secretary of State. Now it would be improper for me, under the rules of the Senate, to say whether he was unanimously confirmed, and I say nothing about that anywhere; bnt I havo a right to say, under the rules of tho Senate, that a single objection would have compelled that nomination to go over at least twenty-four hours, and that he was confirmed in two minutes after his name went in. Dont you Bupposo that these Democratic Senators knew whether Mr, Blaine was an honest man or a knave? And don't you suppose they would have been swift to condemn him it they had entertained tbe latter opinion?

What Mr. Blaine Says. From tho New Tork Tribune.! That Mr. Blaine refused to join the Know Hr..t 1. .. Ml..Hmi ..1. M. .,t-, 1 ..

the Kennebec Journal had dono so, has been

established. The falsehood that hs wrote articles for that journal In support of nroscrintive

ideas has been refuted by tho voluntary declaration of the gentleman who did writs them, and at that time held thoso ideas. What Mr. Blaine did think of the Know-Nothing movement, he has told the whole world in his history, which

was written at a time wnen ne naci no expectation of becoming candidate for office again, and

which has been highly honored in Europo and

In this country for its calm, impartial ana candid treatment ot publio Questions. In his first

volume, page 117, Mr. Blaine said:

Thenceforward now auinnces wero rapiaiy formed. In the South those Whigs who. though

still unwilling to profess an anti-slavery croert.

would not unite witn tne Democrats, were reorganized under tho namo ot tho American party, with Huninhre-v Marshall. Honrv Winter Davis.

Horace Maynird and men of that class for leaders. This party was founded on proscription of foreigners, and with special hostility to tho Roman Catholic Churob. It had a fitful and feverish success, and in 1854-53, nnder tho came of Know-Nothings, enrolled tens of thousands in secret lodges. Bnt its creed was narrow, its principles wero illiberal, and iismethodsof procedure boyish and undignified. The great body of thinking men In tbe North saw that the real contest impending was against slavery and not against naturalization laws and ecclesiastical dogmas. Tho Know-Nothings, therefore, speedily disappeared." ItHs not to be expected that the Democrats, In this- extreme emergency, will tell the truth.

about Mr. Blaino. But thoso citizens who wish to know Ms real opinions will be clad to havo them thus deliberately and frankly expressed by Mr. Blaina himself. It is a matter of record that ho was among the earlicst'of "those thinking men in tbe North" who "saw that tho real contest Impending was against slavery," and threw himself with all his cnerey and youthful ardor into the organization ot the Republican partv in tho very year in which it is falsely asserted ho was striving to keep the Know Nothing party alivo.

Advice to tbe Young Men Who Will Vote aw to Where to Cast Their First Ballots. Lieut Gov. Hanna, at Gosport, Ind.j "Young man, yon shonld consider well before casting your first ballot. If you start to voting right, it will be of great advantage to you in after life. If you vote with a party that is proud of its past history a party that can take great satisfaction in recounting its rccoid in the war for the Union a partv that is pleased with its

candidates, a party mat js active, progressive, and determined to bo for Americans and America; if you will join such a party as that, .your future life will not bo a political burden to you. "Young man. If yon should join tho Democratic party, you will find many dissatisfied and disappointed old men many discontented and restless young men. Young man, do you know that tho youngest Democrat in this conntry that ever voted for a Democratic lresidout is 49 years of ago? "It has been twenty-eicht years since tho Demooratio party elected its President, and unless that party mends its ways, it will bo twenty-eight years more before it oven has a chance to elect a President. "Intelligent, enterprising young men, don't go into tho Democratic party. There is no room for you there. Tho company is not the kind for you to keep. Look at the Democratic party the solid South is there, tho frec-f der is there, the Mormon is there. Tho Boc.oon is still there, who never learns anything nor forgets anything. The oopperhead Democrat Is there. The rebel guerrilla is there. The men who murdered draft officers are there. The men who burned colored orphan asylnma are there. The shotgun and rifle clubs are there, Tbe tissue ballot is there, old Bill English is there, Hendricks is there, Cleveland Is there, Tililen is there, Jeff Davis Is there. Young man, iilon't go into tho Democratic party. Don't you see it is no place for you? Don't be a Democrat just because your father was a Democrat. I heard an Irishman in my town say that there was no need of a young man being a Democrat just liecause his father was a Democrat no more use of it than there was for a youug man to be a bachelor just because his father was a bachelor. My young Democratic friend, let me tell you a secret. 1 was a Democrat once myself, ill my younger days, aud an ortho lox at that; that is, ray father voted for Polk and i'iorco, but when I heard ot the Republican party, when I heard of Fremont and free homes for free men, 1 fell in line under tho Republican flag, and havo been following it ever since, ami I am glad of it. "Young man, turn your face to tho State of Maine and cast yonr political future with the Republican party, and you will always lie proud of that act a party that since it has come into power has known no defeat; that in tho struggle lor supremacy in the last quarter ot a century has been tho survival ot the fittest A party whose motto is equality before the law and at the ballot box. A party that gives homes to tbe homeless; that crushed secession; that obliterated human slavery; that made it impossible for a slave to exist beneath our flag in the domains of our republic; a party that believes in protecting American labor and Amorican industries; a party under whose wise administration our country has vrown rich and prosperous, has increased more than threefold in wealth in tbe lost thirty years, and to-day our republic is tbe greatest and grandest nation beneath the stars. Young man. if you will join the Republican party, you will be urged on to greater and nobler deeds, you will bo stimulated by tho oxample and memories of the actions ot tho groat fathers in the Republican party the apostles and martyrs of freedom you will be surrounded by men who keep pace with the spirit and progress of tho age who believe in the sacrednesss of the homo men who would crush the vile heads of slander by men who do now and have kept step to the music of the Union men who believe in America and Americana "You will ba cheered on to greater duty by having ta charge the soldiers of th-3 Union, blessed with tho prayers and tears of tiieir widows and orphans. Yon will have upon your shoulders tho hoiics and (ears of 4,wo,000of men made free by your party, " Young man, look at tho great names the Republican party has given to America and the worldJohn Brown and Thaddeus Stoveus, Sumner and Stanton. Morton and Wade. Then the long list of Presidents Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, and next November, James G. Blaine, ot Jlaino." GRANT AND BLAINE.

Bow tbe Veteran General ami ihe Maine Statesman Met In Now York. Mr. Blaino was seated in his rocms with a number ot personal and political tri inds. Suddenly there was a knock at the door, and Mr. Blaine, who had just risen from a seat, stepped forward to open it. A stout, heavy-set man, with gray whlskere and dark-blue eyes, laming on a pair ot crutches, stood at the th reshold. It did not take an instant for tho crowd to recognize the veteran figure of Gen. Grant. Quick as a flash every man was on bis feet. Mr. Blaine stepped forward in delighted surprise, and grasped tho General's hand with much warmth. Everybody In the room was silent as the two foremost men of their timo stood hand In hand in the center ot thcoroom. Tho reception on the part of both was sincere and unaffected, and tears seemed to siuirkle in the General's oyes as ho noticed the deference which all so gladly paid him. Leaning on bis crutches, the General was led to an adjoining settee, and thero Mr. Blaine and he remained in consultation for nearly an hour. A little boy attached to the National Republican headSuarters, who had come over to see the oandiate, was sitting at a center-table in the room, on which rested bis elbows, whllo ho gazed earnestly at the snectaele before him. Then, turning to a gentleman whom hs knew, ho said.

in a quiet voice: "And that is the man whom

Ward robbed? Altogether the scene was one which those who witnessed it aro never likely to forget. Gen. Grant talked hopefully and earnestly ot the Erospetsts of Republican succes. To Mr. Blaino osaid: "They are abusing you as thev havo

abusec. me, but they will elect you, neverthe

less, x or my own part, oontmuou tne uenerai, "I do not know of any timo when Republican success was more essential to national prosperity than at present." The conference between tho two great Renub-

llcans lasted tor about an hour, and Mr. Blaino,

at tne parting, shook com oi ueu. urant s hands, and assured him that he was more thau delighted with his call. "My first duty after arriving," said Mr. Blaine, "was to havo been to call on you, but you have anticipated my pleasure in this regard." TT.,,.f V...1 II 1 i ,Y,A - l.-tl.. .nlM.Lul

is as foul as its source. And what is that? Mul

ligan's malice. A dishonorable man, in some dishonorable way, gets possession of private letters, which, by the aid of partisan hate and prejudice, he proposes to employ In a dishonorable way to smirch tho character of an eminent and honorable gentleman, and, in pursuance of a dishonorable plot, they were brought to the front in the very nick of lime to discredit the gentleman's claims to the highest honor his party and countrymen could bestow upon him. A. vilo man, a vile plot, a vile nse or private correspondence, a vile misconstruction ot this corresiondencc could anything be viler than the whoie dirty business? And do gentlemen who adopt Mulligan and his methods consider what they do? Are thoy sure Mint they are not degrading themselves in their eager efforts to damage Mr. Blaino? Ot course, the Mulligan letters were only a l art of the plot. All sorts of lies and misrepresentations were brought to bolster tbe foul meaning which foul misconstruction bad foisted upon Mr. Blaine's private letters. But those, in evory instance brought to scrutiny, wore overwhelmingly refuted by the highest evidence. Even Mulligan supplemented his original baseness in obtaining and using the correspondence by inventing a dramatic notion in connection with Bl lino's rccovors' of his letters, overdoing the matter, however, and making his statement obviously and ridiculously false by its absurd extravagance. Mr. Blaino got on his knees to him, Mr. Blaino promised him a consulship, Mr. Blaina threatened to kill himself, and all this stuff, when Mulligan himsolf confessos that Mr. Blaine, after ones having the letters in bis possession, and looking them over, returned them, and that Mr. Blaino only retained them, on again having them in hand, when Mulligan threatened to publish them before they went to thooommitteo investigating the matter. Tho siim of the matter Is, that the Mulligan calumny not only fails of proof, but is a self-evident falsehood upon its showing. Harper' Weekly, the New York Times, and all the men and journals now so insistent upon the oharge against Mr. Blaine, once declared he was guiltless and nnsmirehed by the evidence. Even the Bourbons of Virginia, with all the testimony boloro them, ignored the charge and lauded Mr. Illaine to the skies. The sum of the matter is that the oharge is now rerampod and pressed only on the well-known principle of "anything to beat" Mr. Blaine, tho stalwart representative of Republican protection. Cleveland Flayed Oat in Sew York. New York Sun (Dem.) : L is now tolerably olear that there is no ohsncc ot Grover Cleveland's election to tba Presiuvnoy. He cannot cariy New York. He whl be beaten in this StaTebya majority of not less than 50,000, ia

spite ot every exertion that may be mado between now and election day. Why, then, should Genuine Democrats any longer think of tying themselves up to such a hopeless cnudldaoy? It waa a mistake from tho first. Wo warned its authors before the nomination at Chicago that they were encaged In an enterpriso which was doomed to disaster, and this doom is now so plainly apparent that only the blind can fail to seo it. But there is a Demooratio candidate In tho field for whom men may vote with earnest goodwill ind a hope for the future. We refer to tho candidate of the Peoplo's Democratic party. Gen. Uutier. In this Slate the real contest is between him and Mr. Blaiac; and if all the frccmimleil Democrats who have hitherto been disposed to support Cleveland, on tho possibility that by some good fortune he might lie elected, will now abandon him and vote for Butler, the Rtrengiliof the Peoplo's Demociatic party will thereby rapidly liecomo great and formidable, so that it may eyen exceed tho strength ot Blaine. It would lie a great thing to beat Blaine here in New York. Butler only can do it.

DEMOCRATS RESPONSIBLE KN0W.S0T1UNUISJL

(John Brcmmn in a speech at Indianapolis. The slavery-holding Slates were tho home of Know-Nothlnglsm. O'Cvnnell had exciteil the wrath of gout era slave-holders by sp'iruinv their offers of assistance and denouncing their institution of slavery: and tho cry of "Ireland for the Irish," which was the ar cry ot tho repeal agitation, was paraphrased In the South by the war whoop of "America for tho Americans. Know-Not liiusism was a Democratic bolt which seriously threatened to overthrow the regular Democratic organization. A majority of the Democratic leaders had sense cnouii to so - that this phase of fanaticism could not succeed, and to provide for its own perpetuation tho Democratic parly of tho period took sides saalnst it; but it most, found favor in the cities which were then aud now most powtrlully Democratic Planes like St. Louis and Louisville ran red with Irish blood, and the malice of the mob found vi nt in heartless excesses and cruelties. The Khow-Nothing rarty was In the height ot its power in 18 It polled nearly half a million of votes (47V.465) for i'illmoie in the slave-holding States in 1S56. At the same election John C. Fremont, the Republican candidate, received less than one thousand two hundred votes (i,l4) in nil of the fifteen Wave-holding States. There was practically no Republican party in the South in rS5ti, and in 1801 tho vast KnowNothing army was absorbed bodily Into tho ranks of the Democratic party or the I arty of the rebellion, which in the South was one and the same thing. In ink) the Democrats and Know-Nothings united in tlio State of New York, tho Know-Nothing party receiving seven electors and their share of the joint ticket. Grover Cleveland was then a Democrat, residing in the State of New York; and if he voted at all ho voted for these seven Know-Nothing electors; and tho chances are that he voted. WAS M.AISE A KN.lW-NOTHlX"? The slanderers might as well sav that he assisted at the cru.'ifixion of our Savior. He was an active Republican in 1S55; supported Fremont in I806, and fought for Lincoln in i860. The State of Maine never polled quite 4,ouo Know-Nothing votes, while the little State of Maryland garo Fillmore 17.000. No, Blaine was not a Know-Nothing. He is the son of a Catholic mother, and ho has declared in tho most emphatic terms that he would not for a thousand Presidencies say one unfriendly word against the religion of his mother. I challenge tho Democratic press, I defy the Democratic bosses, to produce a single line or singlo word that Blaine has ever siioken or written unfriendly to the race or religion of an Irishman. I will go farther. The Republican party has been in power for a quarter of a century. It h s been guilty of Its sins, and I am not its apologist: but I wilt defend it against tho foul charges of which it has been unjustly accused. I challenge the Democratic party press; I defy the party bosses; 1 appeal to the letter of history, and defy any man to show me an act upon any statute book enacted by Republicans infringing upon the rights of any man on account of his race or religion. Its spirit and its purposes have hi en utterly incompatible with the objects of Know-nothlngism. If you want to find the ticsh and bono and spirit of intolerance which animated Knownothtngism in its palmy days, I commend you to the Democratic party. In Mississippi thoy shoot a man to death for an opinion, in Indianapolis they seek to ruin his business for an opinion. In the State Of Maine the Irish Kn.w-nothings burn a hish-soulcd Irishman in effigy for the atrocious orlme ot rising abovo their prejudices, aud tho Demo cratlc State Convention ot Iowa hisses the name of Patrick Ford, the fearless editor of the Irish World. Yon yourselves know well that right here in Indianapolis your Irish candidates on the Democratic ticket run behind their party vote. Quite recently, I am informed, an estimable young Iiishman ot this city was a candidate for City Clerk, and he ran more than five hundred behind the party vote. Need I call your attention to Mayor Grace, of New York, who. on account of his religion, ran 10,000 votes behind his Democratic party ticket, or to Senator Kernan, one of tho most eminent men of the Irish race, who lost the Governorship of New York through Dcmocratio defection on account ot his rellition? And yet you indu'ge in Ihe stale delusion that the Democratic party is tbe guardian angel of tho Irishman in America. Open the eyes that God has given you. ee the world promenading past you. Seek knowledge for the purpose of being right. You havo it in your hands to-day to lie powerful and respcctablo in American politics, or to seek the graveyard and tho gutter and to I erish in them. See your German fellow-citizens. Do they beg anybody's pardon for their opinions In politics? They are a sclf-respecling pcopio who change their politics to guard their Interests, while tbey at the samo time vigorously insist that the Irishman has no right to do the same thing. Thoy taunt you at the first manifestations of awakening manhood. You take it in abject submission and crawl away like a youthful spaniel freshly convicted of p?tty larceny. Shame on youl Where is the courage ot your race? Friends have warned mo that I would bo stoned in Indianapolis for telling von the truth. I said I would face tho music and abide tho consequences. "The blood of the martyr is the seed of the church." 1 am one of you bone of your bone, flesh of your flesh every fiber of my body, every pulse of my heart, I ask you to be men, thinking men; no longer the slaves of unmanly, prejudices or miserable delusions. You havo hugged this Know-Nothing humbug for a quarter of a century. Give it a decent burial. : Let tho dead past bury Its dead. Act, act in the living present. Hearts within and God o'erhead. No Inquiry as to Cleveland's Opinions. From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. There seems to be some confusion among Democratic editors as tbe style in which Mr: Blaine's national attitude about a local issno is to be treated. There are two distinct and diverg-. ing lines of treatment noticeable. One Is to insist that Mr. Illaine is a Prohibitionist and must be treated accordingly. The other that he is not a Prohibitionist, and is therefore no better than the ungodly aud subject to pursuit by the righteous. These things do not se?m to consist. In the meantime it may lie noticed that Mr. Cleveland is so unimportant in the public estimation, that thoro is no inquiry as to bis opinion npon any subject whatever unless it may be as to several of the ten commandments.

Gen. McPherson, Secretary of tie Bepnblican Congressional Committee, has addressed a letter to Gen. McCartney, ot Fairfield in this State, on the question of pension legislation, proving from the Congressional Record that the Democrats have almost invariably opposed liberal measures in favor of tho veteran Union, soldiers mid sailors who wero disnblud in the war. Ho points, out that the Mexican pension bill, which passed (ha Senate last session, was defeated in the House by tho filibustering tactics of Hewitt, of Alabama, and other Konrbons. Chicago Tribune. Habpeb's AVeekly in nn editorial of May 13, 1870, after giving a correct rosnme of nil the charges against Blaiue, aud disproving them from Iho record, closed tha matter as follows: "If nobody now appears with new proof to jttstif y this aecusntion it must be considered merely ono of the reckless slanders to which every prominent man is exposed; and no oharge that may hereafter be made against Mr. Blaine, unaccompanied by weighty testimony, will xloserve any attention wtever." After Carl Schtu-z's Democratic experience iu 1S7'2 he was publicly repentant, and Biiid in a speech: "Only once have I slept iu a side-room of tho Democratio party, and there I have heard enough not to vote a Democratic ticket again im my life. Yes, my hand shall wither before I do so again." It is not so "withered" that it does not grasp his $150 bonus with a good deal of strength. Gen. Geo.' H. Sharps, ono of tho leading New York stalwarts, says thero is no truth in the stories circulated to tho effect that tho stalwarts are lukewarm in thoir support of tho National Iiopublicau candidates. Tbey will heartily support Blaine, who will, in Gon. Kbarpe's opinion, carry New York Stata by 50,000 plurality.

BLAINE IN NEW YOKE.

His Tour Through the State Greeted by Large Crowds All Along the Eoute.

Mr. Blaine loft New York for lite Western tour on the morning of Sept. 24. Stops wore made at all the principal towns along the route. At Peokskill, Cold Spring, Fishkill, Poughkeopsie, and Hudson large crowds gathered at the depots to get a sight ot the Bepublican Presidential candidate, who mado a brief sp-echat each stopping-place. Albany was reached at 1.15 p.m. An immense crowd was in waiting, every available toot ot ground lieing occupied, with many on the tops of cars and on the roof of the depot. Mr. Blaine was presented by tho Hon. Hamilton Harris, and stood bowing for some time before getting a chance to speak. When tile cheering s"ub"lded he niadea short address, and retired amid great applause. Alter leaving Albany the it; st halt was made at Schenectady. The Presidential candidate was presented to the crowd by Judge Potter, and made another speech. The same scenes wore repeated at Fonda. Fort Plain, Little Falls, Herkimer, Canastota, rtlca and Rome. At Syracuse, where the train arrived at nightfall, the Kcpublieans made a great demonstration in honor of their candidate. All the local marching clubs tui ned out with torches, and were reviewed by Mr. Blaine from a stand erected for the purpose. Ho addressed the crowd as follows : "This vast assemblage is far more eloquent than any words I could sneak. It tellf far more of tho popular current and popular drift respecting public questions than anything I could say. and, therefore, resisting those topics I shall say nothing, but shall contine myself to simple but heartfelt thanks for so much of this grand demonstration as may in any degree be attributed to myself as a personal compliment. I am sure, however, that it would be great vanity in me to assume that more than a small i art Of It is so Intended that it is rather the expression of the people of this noble Empire State touching public questions, which I shall leave others to discuss when 1 bid you, as I now do, a cordial good-night." It was almost 11 o'clock wheu Mr. Blaine left the stand and repaired to Senator McCarthy's house, where he passed tho night. Chaunccy Depew addressed the meeting after Mr. Blaine left. Speeches were made at the other stands by Martin I Townscnd and James W. Uusted. Mr. Blaine was waited upon the next morning at Syracuse bv a committee from the Fair Association of the Osweno Agricultural Society for the pnrpose of escorting him to the fairgrounds. The people flocked iuto the room where Mr. Blaine was, and he had to stop and shake hands with them. One of the incidents of the mornln was an old farmer, who pushed his way to the front and said: "Your honor, I have some fine cattle out tbar at that fair, aud I want you to look at 'em and let mo know whether they've pot the cattle disease or not" Mr. Blaino smiled, and said he was not much ot a judge of cattle. He was escorted to the carriage and driven around the grounds, after which he was introduced to the crowd and said: "There is no year in the history of the United States in which, through all its borders, the agriculturist has rejoiced as he does this year. There aro no politics iu agriculture. The crop for Democrat and for Republican is alike good or alike bad. The need of product is alike to Democrat and to Republican. We meet, therefore, on the agricultural fair ground, if nowhere else, on the broad plane of American citizenship, which Is a much higher title than Democrat or Repbllcan. It is in that capacity I stand before yon this mominir, and it is in that capacity I extend to you my congratulations and my very hearty thanks for your generous reception." The party then returned to tho city, and the trip to tho West was resumed. At Auburn tho arrival of tbe train was heralded by tho firing of cannon and the explosion ot torpedoes. Mr. Blaine was introduced and spoke as follows : "I thank you, citizens of Cuyuga County, for this reception. I confess that I am glad to bo here. I am glad to visit tho home of William H. Se ard. If there be among the statesmen of the past one who more deserves the admiration and gratitude ot the American people than your great citizen I do not know his namo, and it t here be a higher statesmanship in the annals of America than was shown by Mr. Seward from l49 to the close of tho civil war, I know not where it was recorded, and we may all learn great lessons from recalling his history, and may well profit by bis example. If we arc Republicans we shall be quickened in our zeal, and If Democrats we shall learn toleration, if simply American citizens wo shall lie wanned and stimulated in our patriotism. It is as a humblo representative of the great principles which Seward vindicated throughout his illustrious life that I am before you to-day. But I am not here to make a political speech; I am here only to acknowledge with gratitude and thankfulness the great cordiality of yonr reception, and to wish you abundant prosperity and happiness." After leaving Auburn the train proceeded to Waterloo before making any lengthy stop. At Cayuga and Seneca Falls large crowds were at the depots, and cheers were given for Blaine as the train passed slowly through those villages. At Waterloo an immense crowd gathered at the depot, Mr. Blalao and party were taken to tho fair grounds, headed by a band. Arriving on the grounds, Mr. Blaino expressed his thanks to the crowd.

At Geneva, Clifton Springs, and Canandalgna

nriet stops were maue. ana at s p. m. tne tram reached Rochester. Mr. Blaine took an open carriace. and with his partv was driven to the

Court House steps, preceded by an Immense

procession, comprising an tne uiaine ciuos oi the city, aud also many from the surrounding cities. Leonard Burritt introduced Mr. Blaino, who spoke as follows: "I am snre that no desire to offer a personal compliment to any living man could have brought this vast audience together, and I hava not tho vaultv to accept it as offered to mysolf personally. It Is rather the expression by this great assemblage, of the people of Western New York ot their confidence in thoso principles which have brought prosperity to our country, and have builded your own beautiful city as one of the exemplars and illustrations ot that prosperity, Tho Republican party embodies in its creed four distinct and most important doctrines : First Peace with the whole world. SecondCommercial expansion in evory practicable direction. Third Encouragement ot every form of American industry. Fourth Protection to every citizen, native or civilized, at home or abroad. Under these policies the Republican party strives to conduct the Government. Under these principles tho Republican party submits itself to the judgment of the American people. On these principles wo conquer, or on theso we are conquered. I thank yon, gentlemen, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for whatever In thia splendid ovation is personal to myself. But I ask your attentlonovlth especial emphasis to the importance of those positions to which I have so briefly adverted. To the latest hour of my life I never oan forget this brilliant scene, nor can I mistako its wide significance." ' Leaving Rochester, the train proceeded to Batavia, where the Presidential candidate spoke as follows: "I am profoundly obliged by your generous reception. I havo reached almost the western end ot your State, and from Its great metro ports to this point I have received unmeasured kindness: but it would be sheer vanity if I were to attribute theso popular demonstrations to any mere personal motive. I know better; I know these lavish compliments are intended, not for me personally, but as a mark ot confidence in tho great and for twenty-four years triumphant party which I have been chosen to represent. The future of that great party is in the bands of tho people in tho hands of the people of New York. I trust that it is in safe hands. I bid you good-night," Buffalo was reached at 8 o'clock p. m. The crowd was dense In the station and the reception committee formed into line with some difficulty. Mr. Blaine preceded them, and leaning on the arm of his son, went to his carriage. When ho took his scat the crowd took op the cheering which had been begun in the station, and Blaine responded by raising his hat. His carriage then moved to its place in the lino and dropped out of the procession liefore it had finished tho march and drove to the hotel, whore he went to his room and shortly mounted the balcony, from whence he reviewed the Republican procession, embracing several thousand torch-bearers. It waa late when the review ended, and Mr. Blaiue was too much fatigued for a speech. He merely said: "My sincere thanks and a cordial good-night." and retired. After spending the night in Buffalo, Mr. Blaine and his party took the train tho next morning and proceeded westward.

Thirty steers and fifty sheep were slaughtered, while other eatables of all kinds had been provided in largo quantities. At 5 o'clock this morning long, heavily laden trains began coining in, and by 3 o'clock this afternoon it was estimated that 40.W0 people had congregated on tho fair grounds to listen to tho eminent speakers who wore present and who included Daniel W.

OHIO DEMOCRATS.

Hendricks, Bayard, Thurman, Pendleton Garlisle and Others at Oolambntr A Letter from Gov. Cleveland.

(Columbus (Ohio) telegranxl This has 1oen a field day for the Democracy ot this city and adjoining otties and towns within a radios of 160 miles. Tle weather has been all that could havo been asked for, clear, cool, and pleasant. The Demooratio clubs from adjoining cities and towns commenced arriving early tnu morning by special trains, and continued to poor in ail day. Never in the history of the Democratio party has there been such an outpouring as witnessed to-day. The Demo erats have been planning and preparing for thi demonstration for over a month, and its magnl tude has even surprised its originators, Foui speaking stands wero put up in the State Hone? yard, with arched gas-jets, to accommodate the crowds. .A large meeting was held this afternoon ' Comstock's Opera House, addressed by Ser. ator Bayard, of Delaware, who was introduce'' by Allen G. Thurman in a seat and complimen ary speech. Senator Bayard referred to tl -time the party was in such a small minority '! the Senate, and It it had worked togeth : would have succeeded in getting a good gover mcnt. Ho believed one-half of tbe Republicans did not believe Hayes and Wheeler wen elected. He traced the workings of the Republican party for the last twenty-tour years and In the convention, showing that Blaine's nomination was a national and logical outcome ot it; ho said the candidates were types ot tha party; he referred to Carl Schnrz In a complimentary manner; claimed that the ass of public power was everywhere prevalent; ha claimed that the great leagues were working with the backing of monopolies for Blaine, but with tho uprising of tho masses he believed the Democratic principles would succeed. Gov. Hendricks arrived at the opera-house about 6 p. m. and received a perfect ovation. He returned thanks in a very graceful manner, accepting it as a party compliment on account of the principles he represented. He said he had witnessed great demonstrations all along the Una of his routs between Indianapolis and Columbus, and olaimed both Indiana and Ohio confidently for the Democrats. Letters were read from Gen, Breckenridge, E. K Apgar, Stilson Hutehina, and others. In the evening the following distinguished and well-known Democratic orators and leaders spoke: Governor Thomas A. Hendricks, Governor Robert M. MoLaneGeorgo H. Pendleton, John A. MoMahon, G. H. Bargar, Speaker John G. Carlisle, Gen. Charles H. Mansur. Gen. Durbin Ward, D. S. Gooding, Gen. & B. Finley, Thomas F. Bayard, and others. Tha procession moved promptly at eight o'clock, and High street, for over two miles, was one mass of banners and blazing torches. Gov. Hendricks' speech was in substance about the same as delivered heretofore. He dwelt quite freely on the necessity of a change in the administration of public affairs. He was listened to by a large audience, as wero all the other speakers. Tho following letter was received and read from Gov. Cleveland: Executive Mansion, Axbant, Sept. 21, 1881. Mv Dear Sia: I very much regret that the pressure of official duties will prevent my joining you at the meeting to be held at Columbus on tbe 25th test. I hope the meeting will be a complete success, and that It will be the means of increasing the enthusiasm already aroused for the cause of good government. I believe that the voters of tne country are fully alive to the necessity ot installing an administration ot publio affairs which shall be truly their own, not only because it is the result of their choice, but because its selected instrumentalities are directly from the body of the people, and impressed with the people's thoughts and sentiment. They are tired. I think, of a rule so long continued that it has bred and fostered a class standing between them and their political action, and whose interests In affairs end with partisan zeal and the advancement of personal advantage. Let me remind the people that if they seek to make their public servants feel their direct responsibility to them, and careful of their interests, their objects will not be accomplished by a blind adherence to a party which has grown arrogant with long continued power. Let us impress upon the people that the issue involved in the pending canvass is the establishment of a pure and honest administration of their Government. Let us show them the way to this and warn them against any cunningly designed effort to lead them into other paths of irrelevant discussion. With these considerations before them, and with an earnest presentation of our claims to the confidence of the people and of their xesponsi bility, we need not tear the result of their Intelligent action. Yours very truly, Gboveb Clevklaso, To Alien G. Thurman.
