| Show J G BLAINE SPEAK k Endeavorili Ridicule Secretary Sec-retary of State Bayard HE BAJSTSABOUT AS USUAL Ho Talks a Great Deal but Says Nothing The Good the Repub HCBBB Have Done NORWICH Conn November 1An enthusiastic crowd of 25000 people gathered at Williams Park today to hear James G Blaine speak on the issues is-sues of the campaign The crowd had come from atl the surrounding nts and a large portionof it from Rhode Island When the orator mounted the stand and presented himself at the rail he was cheered by thousands who when he began to speak were too faraway far-away to hear him but cheered vigorously vigor-ously when the others cheered After discussing the tariff question Mr Blaine said I have heard a speech made by Bayard Secretary of State Mr Bayard is a peculiar gentleman He is a gentleman of very high sentiments senti-ments In fact there is nobody who speaks the English language so far as I know since Joseph Surface who has such fine sentiments as Mr Bayard Laughter Mr Bayards speech JS devoted to the wicked CONSPIRACY OF THE REPUBLICANS They alUhave taken that word Mr Thurman has taken hat word The wicked conspiracy of the Republicans that entrapped Lord Seokville into writing a letter and he calls down the wrath of the country upon those most wicked conspirators that got up that letter that Lord Sackville answered Now I must say Mr Bayard put himself him-self in a peculiar position because if there was a wicked conspiracy of leading lead-ing Republicans to entrap Lord Sack ville into writing an imprudent letter these ojnspiratos ought to be punished pun-ished But indeed he punishes Lord Sackville He says Here is a most UNPRINCIPLED MONSTROUS CONSPIRACY AGAINST this man and in consequence of this conspiracy of which I cannot get the authors I will send Lord Sackville back home and make him bearthe sins of these conspirators That is a very remarkable statement They acknowledge acknowl-edge that they were not quick to do it but after ten days and after they had received adyicas and telegrams from all parts cf the country that if they did not start Lord J3a kville the Irish vote would start laughter thtn Lord Sack yule had to go It will be an agreeable thing irf i England to Lord Salisbury Prime Minister to know that President Clevelands administration deliberately weighed Lord SACKVILLE AGAINST THE IRISH VOTE and started him home Applause We have another paper here speaking of conspiracies and wicked things the World which1 I believe is counted a good Democratic organ is opposing Abram Hewitt and this morning it reproduces the Morey letter that was forged eight years ago against the lamented President Garfield when he was the Republican candidate and nowjthe World is belaboring Mr Hewitt because he said it WAS A TRUE LETTER and aided in putting the forgery into circulation That is pretty amusing Laughter It opposed Hewitt for mayor of New York because Mr Hewitt lent his name as an endorser of a rascally ras-cally scheme of a forged letter against the Republican Party Now gentlemen gentle-men there is a good old adage which I do not wish to quote about somebody falling out and honest men getting their dues laughter but I did not expect to live to see the day when one section of the Democratic Party would wait to swear off the responsibility of the Morey letter upon another There it stands THE AUDACIOUS FORGERY REPRODUCED Forgery all through and one of the Democrats who gave his high reputation reputa-tion and high character to put it into circulation was Abram Hewitt and it rises up against him now not from Republicans Re-publicans but from the Democrats and when the Democrats all get to exposing each otner applause that will be a terrible day If they do that the Republicans Re-publicans would not need stump speeches or mass meetings or flags or any other paraphernalia to carry on the election The election would carry itself Speaking of Mr Bayards position posi-tion in regard to Lord Sackville the Democratic Party never has conducted the affairs of the country with Great Britain with dignity or advantage to this country Never And if you will contrast con-trast the administration of General Grant and of Abraham Lincoln in their conduct of affairs with Great Britain with what has been done by the Democratic Demo-cratic Party you WOULD ASK NO OTHER ISSUES We owe to the Democratic Party and to its bad diplomacy the lots of British Columbia that vast province on the Pacific Coast which would give us the entire coast from Behring Strait down to the Gulf of California We owe the reciprocity treaty of 1854 in which the government got about one article to forty as compared com-pared with the Canadian reciprocity treaty which was thirtynine degrees on one side which was our opponent and one degree on our side We owe that to them In fact it is not in the power of the Democratic Party to give a single treaty diplomatic procedure they have made with Great Britian which redounds to the honor this country Now when GENERAL GRANT WAS OUR PRESIDENT he had the most embarrassing most 1 trying most delicate question to settle with great Britainthe question of the Alabama claims The Democratic Party could not have settled these claims but gentlemen Grants administration admin-istration settled them with honor tom to-m rica with peace to both countries and with the mutual respect of both parties The Democratic Party in the first place has blustered with Great Britain and then surrendered The Republican Party never bluster and never had anything to surrender Applause They have always conducted con-ducted themselves with dignity They have maintained the honor of the country and have had respect from their opponents They have never wrangled with Great Britain Ilever and when they agreed with Great Britain and made Great Britain agree to it that we would submit theAlabama claimslo arbitration we not only gained victory for ourselves but we GAINED VICTORY FOB ALL HUMANITY and we did more than any other nation in the nineteenth century to bring to a close the bloody arbitration ol the world We did more to establish peace and law and rule between nations Wa did more to aid the great glory of international inter-national arbitration and added a chapter to the international law and Great Britain respects us more when under Republican policy than when under a Democratic Party Applause All precedents have been in the line of honor to ourselves and the fair adjustment adjust-ment with opponents |
