Freck, DR.. Schultzer, Hon. Germsn Hauschc and Mr..
Rheim. All Of these gentlemen representative
mon among the Germans. and thci- words carry an
authority with them Several Of the speakers at the
stand have been republicans aad they gave their rca-
sons for leaving that party. One OF them said ho
the republican party Tor the reason that be thought
II contained within Its lines men who were moro
capable and trustworthy than those identified with
any other political organization This Impression OF
his he said had been removed not by prejudice but by
tncontrOvcrtblo evidence. He did not ltkc TO ac-
knowledge TO himsef--nor does any man-that he had
made fatal mistake in Judgment but the conclusion
that he had boon guilty In that regard was forced upon
him. His calm judgment OF tho case at present Is that
instead OF owning the best men, the republican party
can boast Of more corruptons,s and thieves than any
other that has ever existed To get these men OF
power and put capable and honest ones in their places
is tho duty OF every American citizen, native or
foreign born, and he had no douot the German wing
OF tho foreign born element would do yeomans work

his own peculiar vein, showed how simple il to
effect the change suggested by Mr. Jackson. Every
vote for Tldcn and Hendricks hastencd tho de-
sired result every from the OF repub-
licanism made II more inevitable He advised those
who had the welfare OF the State at hand not TO rest
satisfied with merely voting Tiiden and Hendricks
but spare effort In inducing others to. DO tho
