More from Benjamin Harrison
If the policies of the administration have not been distinctively and progressively American and Republican policies, the fault has not been in the purpose, but in the execution.
It is my painful duty to announce to the people of the United States the death of James Gillespie Blaine, which occurred in this city to-day at 11 o'clock.
I accept the nomination, and am grateful for the approval expressed by the convention of the acts of the administration.
I am quite sure that if we should now act upon this subject independently of other nations we would greatly promote their interests and injure our own.
