Col. John Hay, the assistant secrsta
ry Of State, delivered a speech at
Republican mass meeting in Cleveland
Ohio, on Saturday evening, which wa
replete with statistics, proving the ex
cellenos Of Republican administration
I during the past twenty years. Hi
conclusion was addressed to the youn,
men Of Ohio, and is good reading fe
the "frs. voters" Of other States. H.
said: ,.. ...
In concluding, l have few words tt
say to the young men of this State--tt
those who are just beginning theil
civic life, who are just casting theil
first vote in a national election. Many
of you are Democrats through some 40
cident Of association, without having
maturely weighed the history and the
principles Of the two parties. ask
you to lock back for twenty years and
see upon which side the continuing
honor and glory lie. Which party
elected Abraham Lincoln 7 Which
party opposed, vilitied and finally
killed him Which party freed the
slavesf Which party built the Pacific
Railroad 7 Which saved the Union
and honor Of the fsgf Which sus-
tanned the financial integrity Of the
nation, and made its credit the bsst in
the worldH II It be right to regard
with pride the fulfllment Of your du-
ties as citizens, look around you for
Breckenridge In 1907 Who brags
that he cast his first vote for Vallandig-
ham What father tells his children
that he lsbored to put Buchanan in the
White Housei On the one side is a
record Of glory and good repute which
sheds something Of lustre on the de-
clining days Of every man who fought
that desperate battle against slavery
and treason. On the other 1t Is q
shameful story Of half-hearted loyalty
or open rebellion, Of ignorant and mali
cious opposition TO light and knowl-
edge, Of blind and futile defiance to the
stars in their courses, fighting for free
dom and progress.

ORATOR HARRIS.
Salem Standard:
The Democrats Of Delaware recently
imported colored "orator" to stump
the State to tell the eolorsd voters why
they should vote for Hancock and Eng
lish. John H. Harris is his name, and
is said 10 be a fraud by those who know
him. He undertook to address the col
pred voters OF New Castle on Saturday
but he was greeted with stones
and rotten eggs, and finally had to seek
The protection Of the Sheriff. This was
not fair, Of course, but the colored men
we're dlsgusted with such oonsummate
fraud, Is the orator, in his speech
proved himself to be. .. -.....

the effect that Hancock represent the

him here to West Chester, and the Re-
publicans will bear the biggest half Of
