In the course of his remarks be said: 'You have DO organ, your name is mentioned with horror and contempteven by workingmen. If the lives of the eight convicted men now in the county jail are dear to you disband, and let all our experience be forgotten forever." The motion was finally nitted to a vote, and it was carried without a dissenting voice. James G. Blaine arrived at Chicago on the 20th. He was met at the depot by bis sons, Walker and Emmons. no crowd having assembled at the station. The party was driven to the Grand Pacific hotel.
