Good Speeches BY Different
Orators.

Orators.
A very good audience was assem-
bled at the room of the Garfield and
Arthur clubs last night, although the
meeting was rather an imprompt1
one as it had not been properly an
nouneed.
The first speaker was Mr.. r. w.
Austin now of Washing ton, D. c., |
but formerly of this place.
He made telling speech to young |
men and spoke incoufsgeipgIy of the
republican prospects In the northern
states in the October election. He spoke
from personal knowledge. having re-
Gently made tour of New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Austin's
remarks. loud calls were made for
Maj. E. G. Camp, who responded in
most powerful speech Of half an hour.
Maj. Camp devoted considerable time
in replying to some of the arguments
of Isham G. Harris on the day before.
In his denunciation of the election
laws, Harris did net intimsts that the
laws provided that there should be but
two supervisors of elections at
the poles and that one of them should
be democrat. He did not say that,
and he knew he was .deceiying the
people by ommiting that fact. He did
not say that the marshals were there
only 10 protect the voters at the poles.
He did not tell US that the law to put
military forces at the poles, when necs
esssry dated back to the time Of Wash.
ington, and yet if you will turn to the
stitlt s-book you will find such law
twice passed and twice sanctioned by
Washington ii FL. t.1s-s. -.
Maj Camp said that the demo.
Gratis had come to claim of late
that they put down the rebel
lion, and yet the soldier vote
in Ohio was forty-nine thousand re-
publican to three thousand democratic,
According to the democratic method
of reasoning, the soldiers ia East Ten~
| 1oSSe6 were ali uemOcTbt3.
The speaker showed up in very
emph attic manner the fallacy of tae
democr attic claims of economy. While
they have had a majority in congress,
the expenses of the government have
in fact been many millions greater
than. when under republican rule,
even in time of war, and they have in
creased the number of employees in the
house of representatives forty per
cent.
Msj. Damp closed his remarks
with a brief history Of the origin
of the high commission that put
Hayes in and Tilden out, showing
that the democrats were the prime
instigators Of the plan, and insisted Oh
its being carried out even over the
opposition OF Gen. Garfield himself
The whole speech was delivered in
an exceedingly forcible manner and
was received with hearty applause
Mr.. A. G. Bowers, who lives in the
first congressional district, being called
upon, made few remarks relative to
the congressional. canvass there and
gave assurance Of Maj. Peit bones
election by handsome msj ority. Mr.,
Bowers continued In an eloquent
speech in behalf of republican princi-
ples. *

ards. This gentleman came forward
and addressed the meeting for fifteer
minutes in his we'll known earnes
manner. His speech was principally
devoted ITO the tariff, especially to TIT
tariff on iron, as he has had larg'
practical experience in iron manufac
ture, bot1 in the United States and il
: Europe. His appeal was directed t.
L workingmen to sustain the republican
doctrine of protective tariff withou
which the business in this countr,
could not be carried on. Remove tn
tariff from iron and the men who nov
earn one dollar per day could Obtain
only fifty cents or less. #2 RS
Mr.. Richards showed in a strikin
manner the improved condition Of tn
= working men in America, under tn
protection of the tariff laws, over thos
in Europe, where free trade prevails.
