IN"V Speech* m the of ̂ PwtMtion Delivered to Euttigg Crowds. "M Cheat Oonooone Weloomn the Ftnura? |c- 3&*Talar to Boston--Seoepti«f» ' at Augusta. Mr. Blaine'i journey from New York to Bos- Ian. and (bene* to his home at Augusta, was one oontimuraa ovation. Taking the New York, New Haven and Hartford road at the Grand Central Depot, Mr. Blaine was loudly cheered by the as­ sembled thousands as the train pulled out. At Stamford, Conn., the train was greeted by cheers from 3,000 or more men and women who were waiting. When the cheers had subsided Mr, Blaine said: "I thank this large assemblage quite beyond the power of my expression for the compliment they pay me as I journey homeward. In the WW moment of the train stopping I have only time to add to my thanks an admonition. Tn&t tai if Connecticut shall her great pros- Perity, if she shall maintain her forward posi­ tion among the industrial and prosperous com­ munities of the United States, she muBt be up and doing. She must Bee to it that no harm shall come to the Republic or her by the neglect of the Republican citizens. It is not improbable In the political contest now upon us that the post of honor and responsibility shall rest upen Con­ necticut. It in not improbable that the 1resi­ dential election of 1838 may be settled ou the soil Of your State. My request is that each and every one of you shall regard the task of carrying Con­ necticut for Harrison and Morton as imposed upon himself. Believing that you are awake to jour duty, I shall return to Maine and ask her Republicans to show Connecticut the path in wnlah she should walk. [Applause.] I thank you, gentlemen, once more, and bid you good mernlng." At Meriden 2,030 people welcomed Mr. Blaine, and Editor W. F. Graham, of the Repiibtican, Introduced him in glowing terms, after which be spoke thus: "Thanking my friend for his somewhat ex­ travagant laudation, I beg to thank you all for thiB compliment to greeting me so warmly. I have time only W arid what I have said else­ where on my route to-day that important as the •ote of Connecticut always has bean it is ten­ fold more important in tliia year of graoe, 1888. If we can have every Republican voter in Con­ necticut fully comprehend and appreciate what the vote of this State may mean, I shall rest content with the result which your understand­ ing and your appreciation will bring. Trusting, gentlemen, that the ides of November may chronicle victory in Connecticut, and, as a con­ sequence, victory in the nation, I return your greeting with all the cordiality with which it has been tendered." At Hartford there was gathered beneath the long, green elms a large and euthusiastic crowd. The roadside, as far almost as the eye could reach, was lined with wagons which had evi­ dently come in from the ontlying districts. Mayor Boot introduced the traveling gaest, who responded as follows: "Leas than a fortnight ago I was in the coun­ try which, according to its area, is called the- richest in the world--Old England. A large number of the counties in England have each a? population greater than that of the whole State of Connecticut. But I wish I could compare the Statistics of Connecticut with anv country, or of any community of 600,000 people in England. The comparison would give a sharp test by,„ which the good people of Conn cticut could de­ termine the depressing effects of free trade upon' : the mass of laboring men. As I said in New. Haven, I do noi. believe that the sun shines upon; a people more prosperous in every respect than, the people of Connecticut. You aro asked now| to change the tariff system under which the?; prosperity has been attained. The count rya i Wishes to hear your answer upon that point, and!' awaits to hear it with confidence. I thank you- tor your very generous welcome, and as I am on an express train which I must not delay, I have only time to say good-Dy." At Springfield, Mass., the largest assemblage Of the day was in waiting for the train. JSlisna Morgan introduced Mr. Blaine, who said: "GENTLEMEN--It would be sheer vanity in me to attribute the assemblage of this vast mass of Massachusetts voters to a desire to meet me. 1 take it rather as an index of the profound inter- eat which you feel in the pending contest. I take it rather as an indication that great as the Republican majorities have been in Massachu­ setts, you intend to make the majority of 18S8 still greater. In that worthy and patriotic pur­ pose 1 am most heartily with you. I share your feeling. I bid you Godspeed, Of the national policies which have strikingly advanced your tttate among the States in the Union, the policy of protection has been the chief. That policy is, represented in this contest by Harrison and'. 'Morton. It is nothing that you Republicans should give your electoral vote to Harrison and Morton, as you surely will: but you should roll up a majority of tens of thousands, and beyond that, in every practicable way, you should help your neighbors in Connecticut." At the conclusion of Mr. Blaine's speech three Cheers were given thrice over with the "tiger" ap­ pendix. The next stopping place w s Worces­ ter, Beforo the city itself was reached there were seen from the train throngs of workmen in the numerous factories on either side of the rail- < road who had suspended work and Btood at ths| factories waiting lor Mr. Blaine s train to pass.; •When they saw it they waved their hands and cheered. When lhe depot at Worcester was reached and Mr. Blaine's figure was recognized on the rear platform of the train, the cheering was vociferous, and a brass band broke out in greeting. Dr. Burden, of the Republican btate Committee of Massachusetts, performed the ceremony of introduction, /fie said: "I'ellow- Citizens--The heart of the old commonwealth, throbbing in unison with- the pulsation of the great Republican heart of the Nation, extends a rousing welcome to James G. Blaine." Mr. Blaine spoke thus: "1 have been really embarrassed the whole day by such demonstrations as this. The crowds have not been so large, but everywhere the wel­ comes have been hearty. 1 repeat here what 1 said in Springfield. I am not vain enough to suppose that the vast assemblage is simply a personal compliment to myself. It is rather, and far more largely, an exhibition of the deep sympathy which the Republicans in Massachu­ setts have in the pending national contest for Harrison and Morton. Massachusetts can do much in this contest, and much is expected of her. She can lead the way in a contest which shall restore the Republican party to. national power and insure the permanence of a sound projection policy to the laborers of the United states. Thanking you personally, gentlemen, for tho kindness which the gathering of this vast multitude implies toward myself, which I fully reciprocate, 1 bid you Godspeed and farewell." On reaching Boston, Mr. Blaine was conducted to an open barouche and was driven to the Ven- dome Hotel, arriving there at 0 :35 p. m. From that hour ou to 9 o'clock people gathered until 10,0lX) were about the hotel balcony. Mr. Blaine s appearance evoked tremendous cheers, which •were renewed again and again. He spose as follows: "My voice has bean so much worn to-day by much speaking that I doubt if I may be beard to the limit of this great assembly to give thanks to their greeting of me to New Eng­ land. But for all the absence and feeding of exile that obtains in a man beyond the sea for a year, I am compensated over and over again by the magnificent welcome I have received since I touched my native shore. From no town, city, or State has this been more grate­ ful than from Boston and the great leading State of Massachusetts. Never since the Republican party came into existence, more than a genera­ tion ago, at no time, on no issue, under bo exi­ gency, has Massachusetts failed to respond for for right. Never was Massachusetts called to perform a more important part for a more be­ neficent end than in this year of grace, 1888, in electing Harrison and Morton. What Massachu­ setts says she can do she will do. Already our op­ ponents have taken the alarm, and the Young Men's Democratic Club of Massachusetts have set said: "Mr. Mayor, I return to you, and through you j e 1'loq.ueiit orator Whitehouse, vixt bat ad­ dressed me in such partial to;mi, my Sincere thanks far themamwr in which you have voiced the kindness and cordiality of this recep ion--not merely from my neighbors but f«om ull parts of this great State. When I first ben: "d that a re­ ception was to be tendered, I thought It would , be confined to frissxls sad neighbors. It is so. I, thought as 1 had lived here since my 24th year ' and, as my publichiftory began and centered here, that those who haa known me for thirtv- nve yean might extend a cordial welcome; but, I had no conception that men from all quarter* of the State, from t;ie extreme corner of the Commonwealth I love so well, and which I have tried f&ithfully to serve in public stations, would have been here. You can have no conception how it impresses one who has been for a year beyond tbe seas, an exile from home, to meet a welcome like this--unbounded in extent, unlimited in its oordiality and beyond human speech to respobd to. But you must take the will lor the deed, for my words cannot reach the borders of this vast assembly. 1 am deeply indebted to you who coma from other towns' and cities. But greeting at a man's own home goes to the heart more than anv other, ana large Delegations from Indiana and Illinois Greet the General Enthusiastically.

Harrieon this week. Notable among these delegations was one from Hamilton County, Indiana. Conspicuous in the fore-front of the procession marched Captain Cart, of Ar­ cadia, a Hoosier giant, measuring 0 feet inches, and dressed in the typical garb of Uncle Sam, red, white and blue throughout, with white plug hat, and carrying a big sign-board on a pole, reading: "1888.

Those who would, if thay could, eliminate the protective princip.e from our tariff ' laws have, in former moments of candor, de­ scribed themselves as 'progressive free* traders,' and it is an apt designation. The pro­ tective system is a barrier against the flood of foreign Importations and tha competition of underpaid labor in Europe. Those who want to j lower the dike owe it to those who live behind it to make a plain statement ot their purposes. Do they want to invite the flood, or do theybe- lieve in the dike, but think It will afford ade­ quate protection at a lower level ? What I say is only suggestive.

With what motive, what ultimate design, what disposition towwd the principle of protection is it that our present tariff schedule is attacked? it may be that leductions should be made, or it may be that some duties should be increased; but we want to know whether those who propose the re­ vision believe in taking thought ot our American i#"- i 1 S i THIS IS THE WAY WE'LL DISPOSE OP THE SURPLUS.

I have seen everything to make an American thsnk God he was born under the sovereignty represented by the stars and stripes. I have seen nothing in European industrial systems that did not con­ firm me in the belief that the system of tli9 United States is far wiser and more beneficent to every workingman and citizen than i ny we could borrow or imitate. I cannot fail to recog­ nize the sympathy you have with me, and which I have with you in the yuestiou, whether our industrial system is to be maintained or destroyed? If I have in ihe past spoken a worthy word in support of that system, in the future I hope to say many more, and mor .> weighty, fiee to it that no harm comes to the Rapublic. Gentlemen, this much I ccu.d not help saying outside that which was personal to the occasion. For all you have done for me, and for all the testimony the eloquent gentlemi-n have borne to the kindiy relations between my­ self and my fellow-citizens of Augusta, without distinction of i>arty, I give you my profoundest thanks. Tnere is to me no State like Maine, no valley like the Kennebec, no city like Augusta, and no home like that home [pointing to his house). There I have lived these many years, and there 1 propose to live. I have no desiro to separate my interest irom yours. I have been with you from my youth upward, and I hope to be here as many years as God shall give me in this world. I tiuujk yon a thousand times over for all this sympathy, kindlv shown by all who inhabit tho St at a of Maine."" At the conclusion of Mr. Blaine's address the proceedings were brought to a close by a display of fireworks and music. The day alter reaching home Mr. Blaine re­ turned to Portland and addressed a great mass meeting in the City Hall. General Henry B. Cloves introduced Mr. Blaine, who said, among other things : "I 'should not have left my home the very day after my arrival, but for my desire to feel my­ self once more in touch with those with whom I have in pre. ious years fought in many good Republican contests; once more to con,pare notes with those upon whose wisdom the party has always rel:ed, namely, the Republican masses, as to what should be done at this crisis in the political aiTairs of the country, and in tho history of the party which is its graat defender, When President Cleveland delivered his mes-: sage he had something to say to the Amei icau people about the danger of 'trusts.' I think there have since been no Democratic papers in the country, whether they understood th ) mean­ ing or not, that have not been constantly warn­ ing the people as to the horrible danger of 'trusts.' Well, I shall not discuss trusts this afternoon. I shall not venture to say that they are altogether advantageous or disadvantageous. Thev are largely private affairs with which neither President Cleveland nor any private citizen has any particular right to interfere. "Aside from that, the point which I wish to impress upon you 1 that trusts are not the out- themselves the task to prove that you can in- growth nor in any way the incident of the pro- troduce free trade into the United States with- | tective policy, as the President charges ; that a out rod-icing the wages of the American laborer. : protective policy no more breeds what the Presi- They are alarmed, President Cleveland is dent considers the pestilence of trusts than does Alarmed, th© supporters of the Mills bill are | the veriest free-trade couutrv in the world, alarmed, the Democratic party is alarmed, be- < which is England; for Engl> nd is literally plas- oaase they know the mighty power of that I tered all over, under h r system of froe trade, •boat which earaa its bread by the J with trusts. The very day before I sailed for sweat of the brow, and it will resmt the attempt to pla e them on tbe low basis of the European plane. We will let the Democratic party know that this is no fight for the manu­ facturer. They can take care of themselves. But this is a fight for the strong arm and the sturdy heart of the America J laborer. If we have free trade tbe factories will not be closed; •but, if kept open, they will be run at half the present wafies. That iB the issue which should he pressed home on the Democratic party. They should be arraigned as I arraign them, a<< con­ spirators against the welfare of every laboring man. Lot that be the issue and watchword of Bepublicnns, and defeat is impossibl ." The dlspl iy of fireworks, which was exceed­ ingly good, was then continued, a large set pieoe representing a portrait of Mr. Blaine evoking load applause. Rest ing in Boston during the night, Mr. Blaine *esumed his joumey the following morning. home, just a fortnight a+.o, I cut from a London journal the announcement that all the manu­ facturers ot coffins and ad the undertakers of the United Kingdom had tone into a trust, that it was to consist of S?,0 K>,000 capital, which, in the language of the English financial market, was to have a large number of 'prefer­ ential bonds,' snd that the yearly death-rate might be expected to yield a semi-annual divi­ dend of 12 per cent. Now, I think, my friends, that wo might safely bury nil the President s predictions of evil from trusts in this country in the graves in which those coffins are al>out to go, pre'erential bonds and all; and wo might do ihis safely by showing that so far from the pro­ tective policy generating trusts, an ultra free- trade poiioy generates them in far greater num­ ber. and thus 1 leave the question." Mr. Blaine will in all probability remain in his own State until after the Maine election. Thus far his words have betn few end general. The With extremely brief stops at Salem, Newbury- I country has read them all with lively interest. port, Ipswich and Portsmouth, Mr. Blaine was hurried on through Biddeford. Saco and other towns to Portland, where acknowledgment was made to 6,'hmi of their greeting. At 8:4.5 p. m. the rumble of the Blaine special was heard approaching Augusta, and as it neared tbe station a national salute was fired, the bells of the city were rung, and whistles blown. Twenty thousand people welcomed Mr. Blaine home. The front of the depot was a solid block of hu­ manity, shouting wildiy a welcome borne. Bands and torches made light and noise in the quiet streets. Illuminations were sean in almost every window. Near tbe Augusta House was a huge triumphal arch of evergreens and American flags with the words "Welcomo Home" in largo letters of gas at the head. Mr. B eine's bouse was encircled by a great halo of light from the many illuminations. He code in a carriage drawn by fo.ir white horses As he stepped on his own grounds the hand played "tloni.i. Sweet Home," and he was loudly cheered us hs walked to tbe platform ac- oompanied by the reception committee. The •e^^*^,.1V»tteliause w;" but are eager to hear more. The eight or ten little speeches already mode are only the skir­ mish line of the army of facts and logic which he is bound to lead in the great conflict of the p eriod. While on the wing ho could not under­ take more than a few tersely expressed generali­ zations. When he starts Out again he will not be a traveler en route to any particular place, but a campaigner com.ng and going according to the exigencies of I he campaign, und with ample time to speak as long as he may chose wh rever he may be. Thousands will gather to hear him, and millions more will read kis speeches as re­ ported. He will be in great demand everywhere, but must go where most needed, without regard terthe personal preferences of himself or anybody jAMKsDtJNN, a Glasgow (Scotland) merchant says: "I am a free trader, out and oat. and i hope to see Cleveland re-elected, beoause the Democratic party does not believe in the beastly, selfish pzaetioe of shutting 'oat all foreign competition by placing such an exor- joritv," > nd on the reverse: "The eagle and the flag against the rooster and the rag." Hon. J. B. Gray, of Noblesville, was spokesman for the vis­ itors. In responding, General Harrison briefly dis­ cussed the beneficent results of American home influences. He spoka as follows : "Col nel Gray and my Hamilton County friends, the demonstration -which you have made this morning Is worthy of "Hamilton County ; it is worthy of the greut party to which you have given the consent of your minds and the love of your hearts; it is altogether mors thau worthy of him whom you have come to greet. Vou come from a county that, as your spokesman has said, is greatly iavored. a county rich in its agri:i ltsril capacity; but, as I look into your faces this morning, I turn from the contemplation of material wealth to tho thought of those things that are higher and belter. Not long ago a distinguished Englishman and jurist visited our country. Ou th > eve of his return, in a public address, he alluded to the fact that wherever be went ho was asked whether he was not amazed at the great size of our country. This student of law and government very kindly, but very de cidedly rebuked this too prevalent pride of bulk, and called our attention to the liner and higher things that he had observed in on American civilization. So to-day, as I look Iffto these in telligent faces, my thoughts are turned away from those things that are scheduled, that have their places in our census returns, to those things which belong to the higher man--his spiritual and moral nature. I congratulate you, not so much upon the rich farm lund.; of your county as upon your virtuous and happy homes. The home is the best as it is the first school of good citizenship. It is the great con servative and assimilative of force. I should despair for my country if American citizens were to be trained only in our schools, valuable as the instruction is. It is in the home that we first learn obedicnce and respwet or law. Parental authority is the type of beneficent government. It is in the home that we learn to iove, in the mother that b»re us that which is virtuous, .consecrated and pure. I take more pride in the faot that the Republican party has always been the friend and protect: r of the American home than in auyht else. By the beneficent homestead law it cre­ ated more than a half million of homes; by the emancipation proclamation it converted a mil­ lion cattle pens into homes, and*it is still true to those principles that will preserve contentment and prosperity in our homos. I greet > ou as men who have been nurture! in such homes, and call your thoughts to the fact that the Re­ publican party has always bo n and can be trusted to bo friendly to all that wiil pre mote virtue, intelligence and morality in the homes of our people. Now, in view of the fact that I must greet other delegations to-day, I am sure you will be content with these brief remarks, though tht-y are altogether an inadequate return for your cordial demonstration." From Douglas County, Illinois, came nine­ teen carloads of people. A notable feature of their display was the old tattered battle-flag of the Twenty-first Illinois Regiment, General Grant's original regiment. It was borne by seven veterans of the Twentv-first Illinois. This delegation alBO brought a Tippecanoe log- cabin made of hickory limbs. Scrambling about its roof were a pair of coons. Along with the Douglas County delegation came a large and fine-looking delegation from Macon County, Illinois. As tho d >uble column from Illinois moved up Pennsylvania avenue the Grant vet­ erans on the one side aud the uniformed Youn1? Men s Club > n the other, the demonstrations of enthusia-m wer • very profuse, and the etreets for several squares were crowded with spectators. Arriiing at Universi y Park a crowd of several thousand awaited them, swelling the audience to nearly 4.00J, which is the largest crowd yet received at any one time. Cap lain T. D. Min- tu n, of Tuscola, addressed General Harrison in behalf of the Douglas County delegation, and A. H. Mills, of Decatur, spoke for the Young Men's Republican Club of that city. On the platform were a < ozen or more veterans, among whom was an old warrior who, with uuconceaied pride and admiration, held aloft over General Harri­ son s head lhe histori c flag of Grant's old regi­ ment. It wa-i several minutes after General Harrison arose befo e the tumu t an 1 cheers subsided. Meanwhile, with his Princ-3 Albert clos jly buttoned, i»nd loosing in robust health, he surveyed the enthusiastic tlironu. Tbe theme of his second address was the tariff issue. He (-poke as follows: . "My Republican friends, I feel myself unable to respond suitably to this magnificent demon­ stration and to these kindly words which you have addressod to me. Public duties involve grave r« sponsibilities. The conscientious man will not contemplate them without seriousness. B t the man who sincerely desires to know and to do his dutv may rely upon the favoring help of GIMI and the friendly judgment of hi fellow citize tt. Your coming from ano.her Btate and from diSv'int homes testifies to the absorbing interest v. hirh you feel in those questions which are to be settled bv the ballot in November. The confessed free-traders aiv very few in this country. But English statesmen and English newspapers confidently declare that in fac we »have a great many. We are told that it is only £n avi rawe reduction of 7 per cent, that is con- temi'la od. Well, if that were true, and not a very deceptive statement, as it is really, yoa- might fairly ask whether this average reduction does not sacrifice some American industry or the wages of our workingmen and workinffwomen. workingmen in fixing the rates, or will thay leave them to the chance effects of a purely revenue tariff. Now, having pp ken already to-day, yott will accept this inadequate acknowledgment of this magnificent demonatra'ion. I thank you, my Illinois friends, not only on my own behalf but on behalf of tbe Republicans of Indiana, for the great interest you have manifested." At the conclusion of the B(iecchmaking, while the handshaking was in progress, a campaign glee club lroui Decatur oicupied the platform and entertained the crowd with several very comic campaign songs. Tho Decatur Torchlight Club gave u torchlight parade. A large delegation from Rush Coanty called upon (i; u. Harrison, Judge W. A. Callen, of Rushvill", acting as spokesman. In his re- spcn3e, G n. Harrisou said: "1 cannot in these daily addresses enter much into pabiic questions. You are Indianians, some of you by birth; some of you, like myself, by choice. You are Republicans ; you have op­ posed always the doctrine of htate's righ.s; you have bulieved and gloried in the greater citi­ zenship that embraces rUl the people of all ths States. You believe that this Government is not a cMifedtration to be dissolved at the will of any member of it, but a nation, having the inherent right, by arms, if need be, to perpetu­ ate its beneficent existence. Many of you who are here to-dav have aided in vindicating that principle upon the battle-field (cries of 'Plenty of us.'J and yet these views aro not inconsistent with a just State pride. We are prou i to be Indian­ ians, prou 1 of the story of her progress in ma­ terial development, proud of her educational and benevolent institutions, proud of her Chris­ tian homes, proud of her p .rt in the civil war. If there has been any just causa of reproach against our State we will all desire that it be removed. We may fairly apjvoal to all Indian­ ians, without distinction of party, to co-ope rate in promoting such public measures as are cal- culatod to lift up the dignity and honor and es­ timation of Indianians among tho States of be Union. I w 11 call your attention to cne such subject that se ms tobe worthy of your thought. It is the reform of our election laws. A con­ stitutional amendment, to which a great ma­ jority of our j>eopie gave their sanction, has removed the impediments which stood in the way of progressive legislation in tho protection of an bonfst ballot in Indiana. Formerly we could no. require a definite period of residence in the voting precinct. Now we may, a id have. The same amendment authorized our Legislature to enact a just and strict registry law which will enable the inspectors jroperly to verify the claims of those who offer a ballot. Every safeguard of law should be thrown around the ballot-box until frauds in voting and frauds in counting shall receive sure penalties of the law as well as the reprobation of all good men. The Republican party has always stood for elec­ tion re orniB. No measure tending to secure the ballot-box against fraud has ever been opposed by its representatives. I am not bere to make imputations; I submit this general suggestion: Find me tho party that sets the gate ofelection frauds open, or holds it open, and 1 will show you tha party that expects to drive cattle that way. Let us, as citizens, irrespective of party, unite to extol the name of Indiana by making ber election laws models of justice in severity and her elections ires from the taint of suspi­ cion. " Large delegations from Decatur and Delaware Counties unitedly paid their respects to the Re­ publican standard-bearer. There were three Congratulatory speeches. General Harrison in replying to theBe addresses, gave his tlews in L-rief upon the living que stions of pauper labor and American wa ;os. He spoke vith unusual earnestness and vigor, as fo.lows: My friends, the man who does not believe that the issues of this campaign have taken a very deep hold upon ilie minds ani upon the hearts of the American people would do well to come and stand with me and look into the faces of the masses who gather here. 1 know nothing of the human face if I do not read a.;a:n in your faces and eyes tha leBson I have read here from day to d'iy, aud it i4 this: That thinking in­ telligent, God-fearing, and seb-respeciin^ citi7<ens of this country believe there aro issues that sta (1 and demand their earnest effort [applati ej; a campaign that is one simply of party management, a campaign by commit'.ess and public speakers, may fail; but a ca i paign to which the men and tne women of thy country give their unselfish and earnest efforts can never fail. It is no per­ sonal interest in the candidates that stirs these emotions in your hearts; it is tho belief that questions are involved attecting your prosperity and the prosperity of your neighbors, affecting the dignity of the nation, uSeciing the genera­ tion to which you will presently leave the gov­ ernment which our fathers built and you have saved. One subjeet iB never omitted by those who speak for these visiting delegations, viz: the protective tariff. The purpose not to permit American wages to be brou lit below tha level of comfortable living and competence arid hope, by competition with the paup r labor of Europe, has taktn a very strong hold ui>on our people. And of kin to this suggestion and pur­ pose is this other: That we will not permit this countrv to be made the dumping ground of foreign pauperism and crime. ORATORS OF THE SENATE tfatural Elcqnenca of American Staet*- men as Evidenced ia Washington. jHal^ Practlefl Speakers VtttaUftracIt Attention by Logical, Dc- daetlcns, There are several Senators in this city any ot whom can draw a crowd­ ed house by announcing: that he will ask the Senate to hear him on a certain day. and by accompanying this, announcement with the intimation that he intends to pitch into something or some­ body; and it lie makes the intimation quite sharp, thus affording ground for belief that he will be pitched into also, public interest in tho event will bo largely increased and the galleries are certain to be crowded. Ladies can't, with any sort of propriety, go to see a prize-fight, but there is nothing to forbid their listening to two Senators abuse each other, and when due notice is given cf such a set-to the fair sex turns out well. On the Democratic side one of the Sena­ tors who is most relied upon in debates of national importance is Senator Gray, of Del­ aware. In the debate on the Blair educa­ tional bill he demonstrated his right to lead­ ership. It was generally conceded that his SENATOR GRAY. argument against that bill served to kill it in the House. Senator Gray has a resonant voice and an easy method of delivery. As yet ho is a comparatively young Senator, but is destined, if he lives, to take front rank among the orators of that body. On tho Republican side of the Chamber Senator Plumb is one of the most effective speakers. He talks fast, disdaining all the studied effects of oratory, but he always speuks to the point, and if he were engaging in target practice in the wild prairies of Kan­ sas it could be properly said of him that he hits tho bull's-eye every time. Ho is in no­ wise choice about words when he wants to condemn and abuse. He strikes sledge­ hammer blows, and when he means to depict anything as black he says black. He talks very fast, so fast that the best sten­ ographer of the Senate can scarcely keep pace with him, because he says what he means; or. to use a prizo-ring phrase, he strikes right from the shoulder. There are no fanciful frillB about his speeches. They are made up of straightforward Western logic, and if anybody does not understand Senator Plumb it is because he is ignorant of forcible English. 8enator Hawley is perhaps the fastest talker in the Senate; cer­ tainly one of the fastest. His words follow as if in hot chase one of the other. He cannot be called either a pleasing or an entertaining speaker. He becomes entirely too much absorbed in his subject and talks too fast, though nobody will ques- his earnestness or sin­ cerity. Senator Blackburn is GEN. HAWLEY. really one of the orators of the upper branch of Congress, but sinoe his promotiou from the lower house he has been deferentially respectful to that un­ written rule which prescribes that new members shall remain in the background for a timo. Ho has never sought to force himself upon public attention. The only speech he has made in tho Senate was his brief response to the attack made upon him by Senator Ingalls in the memorable on­ slaught of the latter upon Haucock, McClel- lan. and the South. On that occasion Sen­ ator Blackburn, in an impromptu speech of but a few minutes, on a subject that was suddenly presented to him. manifested his powers of the real orator in a manner that won for him the applause of his entire par­ ty. He is the strong reserve force of his party in the Senate. Senator Morgan is one of the most fluent public men of the day. Ho is an easy, grace­ ful talker, with a wonderful command of language. He is one of the fastest talkers in the Senate, though every word is dis­ tinctly uttered, because.he has never to stop for an Instant for words to express his ideas. He is lucid, too. Ho renders his subject clear and intelligible as ho proceeds. Senator Hoar is deliberate and scholarly in his efforts. His speeches usually read better than they sound, beoause his voice, when raised to the tone necessary in public speaking, becomes harsh. Ho is not much given to gestures, but when excited he has a way of drawing his mouth, oven while speaking, that means a good deal in the way of iiery energy and earnestness. Senator Dawes does not deliver many set speeches, but he has a good deal to say in the running debates, particularly if there is an Indian question involved. His voice is anything but musical. It has a grating sound that would completely upset a nervous person. Senator Dawes has a habit while talking in the Senate of continually scan­ ning the galleries. He gestures by throw­ ing his arms straight out to the front vigor­ ously. Senator Manderson, without uny attempt at orat< rical effect, in an easy, pleasing and natural manner, is always entertaining and instructive. There is un air of candor and sincerity about him that commands re­ spectful attention. His voice possesses a pleasing softness that is entirely masculine, and he can always count upon command­ ing the attention of his associates. Senator Stowart is like the ready letter writer in one respect--he is always ready to talk. No matter what the subjeet may be, he wants to be heard. His seat is in the last row on tho Republican side, but he rare!y ever begins a speech there. When a debate opens he is on the alert for an open­ ing. and ne gradually moves forward until he gets near th" centre aisle. Then, when he can obtain recognition, he starts in a loud tone, and with both arms swinging in the air like tho arms of a windmill. He rarely ever stops until entirely run down. Senator Edmunds, tho leader of the ma­ jority in the Senate, does not attach much weight to set speeches and long arguments. His His speeches are, as a rule. very brief and altogether impromptu. But then he is cock-sure of re-election as long as he wants to re­ main in tho Senate, and does not need to talk for, home consumption. His delivery is methodical and impressive. He nev­ er gets excited, but he is quite a master in the use of cutting sarcasm when he finds it necessary. - Senator Harris, now one of the most inilu ential Democratic leaders, is a vigorous official reporter cannot hear him. But when he wants votes for any bill he can get them on both sides of the chamber, which goes to show that eloquence is not an essentia} qualification of our public men. Senator Gockrell eschews set speeches, but he is one of the most diligent rtietnbers of Congress, and fully informs himself a* to every subjwt that comes up. even includ­ ing private bills. He is always listened jtq* because Senators who are not so diligent realize that they will learn the merits of tW case under consideration by listening to Senator Cockrell. He does not aspire to be an orator, but wants to be a fflV 1 legislator, and in that he is a success. Senator Evarts has not made any great mark as an orator in the body of which he is now a mem­ ber. He speaks iu a jerky way and still fol­ lows the habit of con­ structing long sentences. It is difficult, even after _ ^ listening attentively to SENATOE KVAHTS. him, to decide which side ot the leading question he espouses. Senator Bowen, of Colorado, whose con-- stituents all call him "Tom." even including those for whom he has procured appoint­ ments here, and he says he would not recog­ nize them if they were any more formal in addressing him, does not take much stock in eloquence as an element of Congressional duty. Now and then when the silver ques­ tion is uppermost he unrolls a lot of manu­ script, but nothing less commanding than silver can unlock his eloquence. Even in dealing with the silver question he says he believes in plain, practical, incontrovertible truth. Senator Bowen is one of the most independent members of that higli-toned body. He does not talk often, but when the silver question comes forward and he wants to speak he is entirely willing to excuse all who do not care to hear him. Senator Jugalls has become more con­ spicuous during the present session than any other speaker of tne body. His power lies in severe invective, and, unless he has a stimulating subject like politics his speeches aro not of any great interest. His speeches have all involved him iu personal controversies. Senator Allison always commands the attention of both sides of the chamber when he speaks, because he never talks unless he lias something to say worth listening to. He is forcible without being dogmatic or aggressive. Senator' Butler is one of the best talkers on the Democratic side. He has a line pres­ ence and a good voice. Ho grows ex­ cessively earnest in any subject he takes up. Senator Beck is one of the old reliables of the Democratic side. He ignores all oratori­ cal effects and goes straight to the point. He talks fast, but has the faculty of mixing up his papers of reference. In the midst of an earnest speech he will begin to toss over the papers on his desk, and in a sort of aside say. "Wait a minute; I've got that thing here, somewhere." He is homely in all his efforts, but honest and effective, and more than that, well informed on any subject he undertakes to discuss. Senator Call is an ever-ready talker. No subject is permitted to reach a final vote until he has a whack at it. He is very solemn in style, earnest in voice and im­ pressive in gesture, usually emphasizing each period of a sentence by bringing down the forefinger of the right hand. Senat or Blair is one of the "always-ready" sort: he can talk at a mark or against time, but has a sing-song way of speaking that does not fill the galleries. Senator Brown never speaks unless on some subject that is of direct importance to his immediate con­ stituents--then he obtains leave to sit down while reading his speech, and he reads it in a mumbling tone that cannot be heard at the Clerk's desk. But as he is always care­ ful about revision and sees that the speech is circulated in proper shape among his con­ stituents he accomplishes nis object. Senator Voorhees. or course, is not to be omitted from any list of Senatorial honors. He has been a public speaker of national fame for mahy years. His powers as an or­ ator aro too well known to need any de­ scription. as he has been in public life for many years, to say nothing of his political addresses in every campaign for his party. Senator Vest is reliea upon by the Demo­ crats to take up tho gauntlet at any time that it may be thrown down by the Repub­ lican*. and he is a champion whose keen- SENATOB VEST. est weapons of logic, satire and ridicule are always at command. If he had a voice pro­ portionate with his abilities he could bo one of the greatest orators of the day, but in listening to him the auditor forgets any vocal defects. Senator Daniel, of Virginia, is an orator who will add to liis fame in future Senate debates. He is yet but a new Senator, and he pays due observance to the traditions of the body requiring new men to remain in the background for a time. But his term of probation Is about out. and his friends may expect to hoar from him before the ex­ piration ot the Fiftieth Congress. WHEAT IN THE NORTHWEST. k Reports of Damaged Crops Come from All Part* of Minnesota and Dakota. [St. Paul (Minn.) special.] The following careful compilation of ciop reports, received laBt week from nenrly every county in Minnesota and Dakota, is perhaps the most accurate and comprehensive review yet published on the present wheat crop. No pains hare been spared to receive reliable informa­ tion from parties best posted, and the summary is condensed from facts and es­ timates sent in by more than 1,200 special correspondents. According to latest accounts from the harvest-fields th$ damage to the spring wheat crop has at no time been overesti­ mated, and while sensational reports are sprung from time to time concerning the injury caused by some, particular evil, conservative grain men have been reti­ cent. as a rule, regarding the extent of damage to the crop at large on account of their disinclination to be classed among sensationalists. The startling stories emanating from Chicago have generally referred to the ruin of the wheat crop in the North, while the greatest damage has really occurred in the southern part of the State and Territory. Out of 100 dozen reports re­ ceived less than a dozen fail to mention damage from one cause or another, but this is scarcely to be' wondered at as an unusual occurrence. None of those from the south of the State fail to note considerable injury from chinch bugs, and while some sections have FOUGHT TO THE DEA1 Btaady Wark of an Iowa Thspmd* t Hwwtiwf Oaptve at . . -; Shenandoah. $ . m x v J M I W i ' t * - - 1 w r " * * .
