ception. In order as to be responsive to
the popular will and expression that went
up from this meeting TO night when
certain mans name was mentioned feel
like bringing message of greeting and
love of the man who Is lesser that Mac
beth, yet greater to that fiery and incom-
parable Rupert of debate, to that chival-
rous and white plumed navavre of the
rostrum; gallant, gianted, glorious But
Ter. [Great applause and cries say 1t
again.'l We bid him take heart and
hope tnat he will receive the reward from

Justly merits for his bold and outspoken
action in behalf ofdowntrodden humani-
ty. Applause.
Mr.. Chairman, 1Kearney at this point
took off his coat and loosened his cravat
amid the loud cheers and laughter of the
audience. Continuing, he said: sI am
sorry, friends, that we are not rich
enough to be able to hire Beecher to
knock the bottom out of hell What
means this outpouring of people What
means this grand tidal wave? What Is
the matter with the country that the
workingmsn are arising from North to
South, from West to East? Todo what
To take charge of their own affairs. lAp-
plause.l Here, upon the altar Of liberty;
here, where the sun first dawned upon
the infant brow of liberty here, where
free men and free women have spoken I;
here, in the second century of the indie
pendence of America we find natural
and popular uprising of the people. This
vast uprising OF the people, what does it
mean? i ask you does it not mean death
to the railroad robber and lecherous,
thieving bondholder? tApplause.l And
does it not mean political oblivion to the
rancorous, villainous, political hummer
The speaker then paid his respects to
the press, saying from the earliest days
of printing newspapers had been more
in The interest of cut-throats, political
bilks, daylight thieves and midnight as
sassins. Great applause and laughter. !
For reporters of the press he had great
respect, az they were workingmen. After
assailing the press in his characteristic
manner Kearney SAID newspaper men
were a villainous, thieving, Infamous
band of scalawags, that are aiming to
control public opinion If the working
men of the United States possessed with
In their breasts a single spark from
which the fame of freedom could be
famed, they would not permit such mon.
sters to live in their midst, they would
control these telegraphs they would hull
these internal lying scalawags from
power and select honest men to transmit
plain, unvarished news. AS to ungram-
matical sentences and ungrammatical
speeches, for So 80 can always hire a
man to write grammatical speech, but
it takes millions to buy an honest man
be he ever so ungrammatical. Applause.
Let me state that the country Is run t.
perdition by band of classic thieves
and legal pirates. What workingmeI
want is common honesty and CONNER
sense, better guides than classic attain
ments." Defending himself against news
paper attacks, Kearney said, 81 nevel
smoked tobacco or drank whisky In my
life"
