Quai srs in Insti'uts Hsll last evening
was uoL attended by an overho~ing
audiences, owing to the Indictment
ysa,hsr. 6at 1t Was very enthusiastic
gathering for all that, and the speakers
deserved a crowded heuse.
Aftfr the er sanixstion Of the meeting
Rohert C. Rrsita wss introduced and
was reserved with loud applause. He
had coma 10 discuss the issues OF the
campaign in plain, practical, common
sense way, and to review the history Of
the Democratic party plainly but IN
apswsrably, and to show up its sins Of
.omissioa and commission and its glar-
ing inconsistencies. He then depicted
the course Of the Democrats party
through all its stages, touching drs'
upon its entree into power in 1928 with
Jsokson's election. The great trouble
was caused by the Wholesale removal
Of oompstsnt ofioers who refused Il
bear its principles. Slavery was ther
in existence aud this Democratic party
fostered and encouraged II. Ii con
tended with Mexico fer extra territory
and vowed that Kansas should neye
enter the Union Of Statea except as
slave State. Then they passed the Fu
gitive Slave Law.
The rise Of the Anti-Slave party an'
its success, eliminating in the election
of Lincoln were next touched upon

Mr.. Fraim denounced all who hat
taken part In the treason which fol

ware as elsewhere. Among these wht
had sympathissd openly with thu
South and did all they could to aid Re

Senator Bayard. All the rebel leader
should have been hung, and every
officer above the rank of captain forever
disfranchised. Tue result Of the Re
bellioR was great-through that strug
gle the Republican party freed four mil
lions Of slaves, and had given tht
country sound finances, the best
banking system the world had evei
known, had fostsrsd and guarded pub
lie credit and led the country into here
tofore unknown prosperity.
The,work Of this great Republican
party is still undone. II will not bt

the shores Of one ocean to the other
shall vote as he so desires. Then it
mission will be accomplished, and thii
result will be noticed through the cleo
ton of Garfield and Arthur.
The speaker concluded by showing
mp Democratic inco usistencies in the
nomination OF Presidents since 1864,
and by discussing local Democratic
frauds and misruls.
G. W. Roberts followed saying there
