Estee Choked Off
It is noted in the Chicago dispatches,
that Mr. Estee made a very different
speech in taking the permanent chair of
the convention from that which he de-
livered. The speech which he intended
to make was given to the press, with in-
struction to print it only when made.
We had it in type, but could not furnish
it to our readers because it was not deliv-
ered. The managers of the party must have
objected seriously to Mr. Estee's speech
to have choked it off at this stage. The
rejected address has but about one theme
and says but one thing, namely: That
the Democratic party is for free trade,
and that the Republican party is for pro-
tection. If the managers did not want
Mr. Estee to make this declaration, why
did they not? It is because the North-
west, where the convention sits, is not for
protection? Must the Republican party
sing low there its favorite air?
