General Joseph Il. Hawley was then intro
duced and after the band had played 'Hail
to the Chief and the cheers of the audience
had subsidized he proceeded to address the |
large audience In his opening remarks he |
said he was Republican, ultra Republi- |
can, black Republican, anything else |
the Democrats chose to term him. He then |
eulogized the work of the Republican party |
and it's great work for the past twenty five |
years. He referred to the opposition of the
Democratic party to every measure which
the Republican party had proposed and
| which was denounced by Mr.. Eaton as q

could not pass anything even If they were in
power. They cannot unite on anything Re-
