Ills Rally in the Evening.
Portland, Me., Aug. Î0.— Mr. Blaine ar
rived in this city yesterday in Mr. Payson
Tucker's private oar at l'J:3â, and there was
a largo crowd in the depot eager to see him.
The half hour before dinner at tho hotel
was utilized by many of Mr. Blaine's Port
land friends, hundreds calling and shaking
hands with hint
When he stepped into tho city hall's spa
cious auditorium the crowd sprang to its feet
and gave him almost as warm a welcome ns
the people of Augusta did Tuesday night.
Henry B. Cleaves «-as chairman of tho meet
ing, and introduced Mr. Blaine in a short
speech. Air. Blaine spoke in part ns follows:
"When President yievoland delivered his
message ho had something to say to tho
American people about the danger of
'trusts.' 1 think there has since been no
Democratic papers in the collates , whether
they understood tho meaning of the word or
not, that have not been constantly warning
tho people as to the possible danger of
'trusts,' (lui lighter).
"Tho point which •! wish to impress upon
you is that 'trusts' are not the outgrowth nor
j in any way the incident of tho protective
j policy, as the president charges; that a pro
j tective policy no more breeds what ho con
| aiders the pestilence of trusts than does tho
veriest free trade country in the world,
j which is England, for England is literally
plastered over under hsr system of free
a
very day before I sailed for home,
just a fortnight ago, I cut from a London
journal the announcement that all the man
ufacturers of coffins and all the undertakers
of the United Kingdom had gone into a
trust (laughter); that it was to consist of
^"mimons of eapUal which. in the lan
s uft g° the Knghsh financial theo
was to have a large number of'pre
ferred bonds,' and that tho yearly death rate
might he expected to yield a semi-annual div
idend of TJ0 per cent. (Laughter.) Now
I think, my friends, that we might safely
bury all the president's predictions of evil
from 'trusts' in this country in the graves
to which the*» coffins are about to go, pre
ferontial bonds and ad; and we might do
this safely by showing that so far from the
protection policy generating 'trusts,' an ul
tea free trade policy generates them in far
greater numbers (cheers), and thus 1 leave
the question.
"In Maine we ore not aide to devote our
(elves wholly to tl.e national eleetion, but
primarily to the state elections, and I am
that f toth partie, have nominated
unoxecptional personal clmrac
ter and respectability, standing high iivtheir
communities, against whom nothing can he
said personally, and that applies equally to
Mr. Putnam and Mr. Burleigh, and lam
p,. ou< i t 0 say so—(cheers)—for it leaves the
contest where it should rest—on principles.
"Mr. Putnam, I judge from a speech of
his which I hold in my hand and which X
rea( ( m fhe Portland Argus of Aug. 0, is
very uneasy in regard to the charges that
have been brought against him concerning
the very disadvantageous treaty he aided in
making giving away, as 1 think, in a large
degree, the rights of American fishermen. I
have read his speech with great interest and
tad»*»»^ »",a me rto home
criticisms that Senator Frye, of this state,
liai1 mad , e 0,1 the . prfident, the sec
retary of state and the fisheries com
mission m connection with the treaty,
If there is anything in this question
at all; if there is anything in the world
about which American people are concerned
to-day touching this üshoriüii question, it Is
the interest of the fishery fleet, and that is
I the very point on which the veters of Maine,
before whom Mr, Xucnam appeal's as a can
didate, are desirous to have him .explain,
For w " believe by we I uuan those o Pl >o6ed
to the treaty—that it is a complete abandon
! mentor the whole fishing interests „f tho
United States, and I may myself, following
1 the example of Senator F'ryo, nt some future
- Iieriod of this campaign take occasion to
j SL-, eV0UDdS ° f * Uy Char£a (Great
! "On Monday of last week, as the passen
i gers on the steamer in which I was crossing
the Atlantic rose from breakfast, there was
suddenly one of tho rumors that float with
wonderful swiftness even over tho largest of
steamers, that we were in the midst of a Ilsh
ing fluet. We had come to the banks of
Newfoundland during tho night and,
as wo rushed—those of us who were
not seasick — to tho deck, we saw
I that wo were surrounded by some
twelve to fifteen sail of fishermen, partly
French and more largely American. The
sea was very rough, so much so that nt least
irait of tho passengers were very seriously i
disturbed with the most unpleasant sensation j
known to human nature. (Laughter.) But I
I those of us who could get on deck—and I will i
honestly confess that X was not one of tho ]
j swiftest myself—beheld in this rough sea the \
I fishermen in their small boats—little dories I
not more than fifteen feet long—out on
j those waves that seemed to those on
the steamer to ho rolling half tho
I height of this great room, and they wore
i taking up their trawls with as little
I concern as a Maine farmer would mow his
i hay in July, and there was one universal
j hurst of admiration on that steamer at the
! daring and the heroism and splendor of tho
j bravery that would risk life in a contest |
! with such angry elements. (Great applause.) i
1 said to myself then, I say to you now, in I
my judgment tho United States would dis- !
j honor itself for all time by any negotiation, j
| or if for any consideration it should surren- |
! der one jot or one tittle of the rights of
i tho3e gwbant, generous and brave men. I
(Great enthusiasm.) j
! Mr. Blaine was followed by Senator War- I
I ner Miller, of New York, who got three i
J cheers and a tiger, but made a cold and dis- |
l appointing speech. •
After the meeting the visiting clubs
paraded through the principal streets of the ;
city. A big rally was held in the evening, I
but Mr. Blaine did not appear.

Gen. Harrison's Position on the
Chinese Question Discussed.
ARGUING OVER THE TREATY.
Whether It Will He Acted Upon Till.
Session or Not to He Derided To-day.
The Fort location* Hill In the lionne.
The Proposed Gun Factory.
Washington, Aug. ill.—A discussion on
Mr. Harrison's position on tho Chinese ques
tiou incidental to the debate on tho fishery
treaty was the event in the senate yesterday.
To-day at noon was sot for the vote on Mr.
Morgan's resolution postponing action on tho
treaty until December.
Mr. Morgan resumed bis argument in
favor of itis resolution to postpone the fishery
treaty until December. lie sal 1 the antago
nism to the treaty meant an attack on hu
man food. The senator from Maine (Mr.
Frye) had admitted that if the duty on salt
fislt was removed all talk about tho fisheries
wSild disappear. In the course of a collo
quy, in which allusion to Yankees and slave
holders was made, Mr. Morgan said:
"You have not hesitated to say that wo
are rebels, that wj all deserved to lie hanged,
and that we are living now by your mercy
and grace. You had Jefferson Davis ander
arrest and the United States government did
uot care to bring him to trial, because it
would have turned out that he bad not com
mitted treason."
Mr. Frye—When the senator was making
those charges he was looking at me. I am a
full blooded Yankee, but I do not know a
man on that side of the sedate (or whom 1
have a more profound admiration titan I
have for him.
Mr. Morgan—My eyes wandered to the
(ace of the senator because 1 knew that they
rested on an honest and benevolent face, ami
it was some relief to have that opportunity
when looking on that side of tho chamber.
(laughter.)
Concluding, Mr. Morgan said that an
honest adjustment of the trouble could not
be expected in the midst of the heated pas
sions of a great political campaign. It was
a matter that ought to be postponed for the
credit of the senate. But ho know tho doom
i 0 ( .p,, treaty, and the result weighed upon
mind. Ho thought that Republican sen
| ators were in g reat baste to get rid of tho

would not have been before a eivll court, but

j After remarks bv Senators Platt, George
and Chandler, Mr. Vest said that no treaty
cotdd be ratified by the senate which had
been negotiated by Mr. Cleveland's admlnls
J , ... ,
Gallon; by the man who was a living bar
, rierto the Republican party gaming power
| Party warfare demanded that the tail of
| the British lion should he twisted until that
royal animal howled again, and so tho loyal
song about John Brown's body bad given
I
i
;
place to tho dulcet tones of "Erin Go
Bragh." Mr. Vest then referred to Mr.
Stewart's recent speech on the Chinese ques
tion, and said that opposition to the anti
Chinese legislation hi the senate in 1881 and
IhKJ had nut come from Democratic, but
from Republican senators, particularly from
Mr. Harrison, the Republican nominee. He
declared that in itou seven t lituanien were
admitted to naturalization in Indianapolis [
and immediately voted the Republican
ticket, when Mr. Harrison was defeato. fur
the governorship by Blue Jeans \V illiams. |
Having stated the votes of the jsmate
on the Lhineso hills, be saul that Ud. |
proved that the presiding officer of the sen- ]
ate was right in saying the records et Sher
man, Hamsun and other presidential candi
dates were awkward on the tariff, the
currency and the Chinese question. Mr.
I Vest also quoted from the letter of Mr.
j Morrison to the Rev J. S Brant, of 8t.
| Louis, in February last, in which lie said in
j connection with his action on tho hill re
(tricting <-'h|neso immigration ; j
1 'It was a little hard on me to let go of the
«Idide. ü-tth* was t he trro homo of ail (
i comers 1
Ml '- ' est denieil that the American people ,
i bad ever relinquished their right to control J
j '"Ätewart said that the Chinese issue !
i was as dead ns that of secession, and that i
there was as much propriety in reviewing
! one as the other. Mr. Harrison, ho said. |
1 had not uttered a word during the discussion :
on the anti-Chinese bills in favor of Chinese !
1 immigration. His votes bail simply been
! conformable to the treaty. But afterward,
] »ben tho treaty was being evaded, Mr. Har
j risen favored a bill which was acceptable to
' the Pacific coast. His record was as satis
factory to the people of the coast as if he had
j abused the Chinese for forty years.
beck said that in Mr. Voorhees' recent
| speech at Terre Haute he had said that Mr.
i Harrison had voted fifteen limes against the
bill to restrict Chinese immigration, and that
i the statement had uot been contrndicteil. |
{ Mr. Dolph denied that Mr. Harrison's re
cord in congress would show that lie boil
| ever been in favor of the admission of
j Chinese labor Into the United States. Ho ;
i referred to the fact that Senator Harrison I
bad written to Senator Maxey in 1882 that
j he was in favor of reducing the period of j
{ Chinese restriction in tho bill of that year |
^ from twenty to ten years and was opi>osed j
j to the bill if that reduction was not made,
He said that it was a necessary, fair and |
logical inference that if tho amendment had ;
I been adopted Senator Harrison would have :
[ favored tho bill, and that he was therefore j
j * n favor of Chinese restriction. If the I
senate had adopted the views advocated by i
] Hen. Harrison it would have been far hotter,
j all, f would have saved the necessity of pass
! all °thor bilk
Mr. Mitchell defended the record of Mr. j
Harrison on the Chinese question, and said |
I that the only restrictive legislation on that
iuhject had come from the Republican party,
| Hr. Allison said he desired to put in his
| most em phatic protest against the attempt
ma< b> by Mr. Vest to draw a distinction he
i tween the two great political parties on the
} subject of Chinese immigration. He would
| say for himself that after the debate in the
senate in 1879. his mind was clear that it
was the duty of the government to exercise
its undoubted power in the mast appropri
ate way to secure tho prohibition of Chinese
immigration. He did not believe that Mr.
Harrison entertained any different senti
ment. He did not, however, speak (or Ur.
Harrison, who was no Lilliputian in any de
bate or any contest, but was the peer of bis
accusers, from wherever they might come.
The senator from Missouri (Mr. Vest) ought
to know, and did know, that the Republican
party was as vigorous and strong on the
Chinese question as the Democratic party.
Discussion on the fortifia ation appropria
tion bill was the feature of the bouse pro*
readings yesterday,
Mr. Nuttitg, of New York, offered oa
aqienduient appropriating $iou,ujo tor taa
erection of a dry dix'k and appliance., at
some point on Lake Ontario, for the build
ing of armed ships. This led to a Iona dis
cussion. Mr. Nutting said, in the event of a
war with Kuglaud, the great danger to Um
United States would ho on the northern
frontier.
Mr. Farquhar, of New York, snid that the
state of New York nlono couhl take care of |
t'anndu Inside of sixty days. The United ;
Hlates need ask no odds from Canada or bet 1 I
parent government. (Applause.)
Mr. O'Neill, of Pennsylvania, hoped that
the New York delegation would take nusts
uree to bring the Canadian Pacific under the
provisions of the interstate commerce low.
Mr. Butterworth, of Ohio, in the course of
bis remarks commented on the fact that
senators were on the lloor of tho house Tues
day while the business of the nation was
brought to a standstill in order that one
committee of the house might ravish an
other. Ho wanted the dignity of the bouse
maintained inviolate against the senate cr its
own committe-s. The senate hail willfully
disregarded the rules of the house by attach
ing appropriations tor (ortiticatious to the
army bill.
Mr. Townsbend, of Illinois, defended the
senate. It was unworthy of tho gentleman
from Ohio to traduce gentlemen who had not
an opportunity to reply.
Although Mr. Nutting's amendment was
ruled out of order the discussion continued.
Mr. Nelson, of Minnesota, deleuded the
Canadian Pacific railroad from the attack
made upon it. He appealed to the house to
let that system alone. Energetic men of the
northwest had built it up i<> order to trans
port their prudnets to the seaboard. Minne
sota could take care of Canada west of Lake
Superior and make it a suburb of St. Paul
and Minneapolis. It could send a couple of
regiments of Scandinav Ian militia, who
could destroy the bridge at Winnipeg and
cut tho Dominion In two. Ho wanted the
railroads to lie let alone; be did not »ant
them to bo throttled in the interest of a tew
trunk lines.
Mr. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, offered an
amendment providing that the gun factory
should bo established at Allegheny arsenal
instead of ut Watervliel. Ho argued at
some length in favor of his amendment, aa
did other Pennsylvania members. The
amendment was 1 ■ejected, however, as were
other amendments substituting other places
for W atervliet.
The section providing for Die appointment
of a Issird of liefe use and appropriating
«3,000,000 for the purchase of twelve and
sixteen inch steel guns and twelve inch cast
iron guns was ruled out on a point of order.
The bill was then reported to the house and
went over until today.

The committee on resolutions reported tba
following platform, which was adopted:
The Republicans of Connecticut in conven
tion assembled do most heartily ratify the
nominations of Harrison and Morton. Wn
approve the declaration of principles con
tained in the platform of the Itepahliuon
party adopted at Chicago.
W o are hostile to tho theories of fiwe trad,
and tiio Democratic idea of a tariff far reve
nue only. Wo believe that the unexampled
pros|x>rity of this country and elevated con
dition of our jieoplu are due to the policy ol
protection which has been adopted by the
Republican party, and we therefor,
favor such tariff laws as
toct
will
American labor aud industrie«
against ruinous competition of the underpaid
labor of foreign countries. We iliuiounre
the policy uf free trade as emliodied ln th«
president's message, in tho Mills bill aud In
the Democratic platform as inimical to the
industrial interests uf our people, because th«
enforcement of such a policy would ©nubia
foreign countries to flood our markets with
the products of cheap labor, and compel
conqielltion with tho ill fod, ill clad and un
derpaid laborers of foreign lands.
Xu this state the Republican party has put
in operation the existing law restraining th«
sale of Intoxicating liquors. That law recog
nizes our undent theories of local self gov
ernment, ami places it in tho power of every
town to prohibit the sale of liquor within H«
limits. Wo favor the principle of that law,
and pledge ourselves to such additional legis
lation as may he fourni necessary to suppress
the evils of inteiB|terance. We favor such
legislation as will provide for the compulsory
secrecy of tho ballot aud secure free suf
frage and an bunest counting of hallo*»
throughout the country. VVe recognise th»
services and sacrifices of the veteran sol
diers and sailors ami favor littéral puoskm
legislation in their behalf. Wo cordially
commend the wisdom and faitlifulu
m
of
of tho present chief executive
this state aud bis associate* in their
judicious administration. We present th»
names o( Morgan G. Buckley and his oo
sociates upon the state ticket as candidate«
