RoUsNG OLD srEECH. -
Emery a. Storrs was the next speaker. He
met with as enthusiastic reception as it is
possible to give man, and spoke in the follow.
ing vein:
MIR. CuAmMAN AND GENTLEMEN: II there
was anything needed to prove that the old
fashioned Republican party OF the City Of Chi
cago is alive with all its old power, all its old
spirit, it is the existence, fresh as daisies, of
the everlasting band Of Frank Lunbard, indi-
vidually and collectively, which has sung the
songs Of freedom. thank God, for twenty years.
[Applause and lauehter.] And think Frank
and his Glee Club have sung us into as many
victories as we have spoken ourselves into. The
old Puritan, great many years ago, who hnd
opinions, and who was willing to risk some
thing for his opinions. whenever he went into
battle went in With songs and with prayers. He
PRAYED long and be sang through his nose; hut
after the song was sung, my God! how they did
fight! [Laughter.] The old call is made upon
the old Puritan element of this great city
OF Illinois, which has been reared on the
shores OF this beautiful lakc,-probably the
grandest achievement in the way of q CONNER
cjal city that this world has ever witnessed.
This City OF Chicago is, above oil things, and
beyond all things, r.
FREE CITY,
and 1t Is the outgrowth Of the spirit Of free
men. To-day the free men OF the City OF Chi
cago are coolly asked to surrender Its interests;
10 transfer them from the hands Of the Repub-
lican party, in whose custody for the last three
years they have been, into the hands OF the
Democracy. decline to accept the invitation
llaughterl, aud am constrained to think that
this vast and magnificent audience that face
me tonight are quite prepared to agree with me
in that declaration. [App1ause.1 I desire to
add a little something to the splendid
speech which my friend Mr.. SWEET
made, for the magnificent results in
the administration of the last three years,
which he so ably pointed out, are not the work
of any Reform Common Council, gentlemen.
They are the work Of Republican Mayor ard q
know OF but
ONE REFORM PARTY IN THE COUNTRY.
It is the Republican party. [Applause.]
know Of but one party anywhere on the face of
the habitable globe that is the incarnation of
and it is the Democratic party. Laughter and
applause.l There are other bad parties, bus
the Democratic party is badness itself. IRE
pewed laughter.l There is the same difference
between the Democratie party and
