was introduced to the convention, an d
made fitting address pending
the reports of the committees
This year 1t Is not preliminary skir1nish.
We haye captured the pivotal states. In
Iowa and Minnesota we have fighting
| chance. Indications are pointing in that
| direction. The Republican party, where
ever they are able, are trampling upon
the people, and their best
members are focking to the
Democratic party, thoroughly Disguised
| with the oppression of the Republican
leaders. Tbs Republican party, es whole,
ere not in favor Of sumpsuous
legislation, but where they have
the numerical strength they have openly
declared themselves in favor of it. In
Kansas they have incorporated the sumptu-
airy law in their platform and it is the aim
| to make 1t tyrapnical like unto the cid blue
laws Of Connecticut. By the means they
would in their goddess might trampel upon
the constitutional rights of innocent citi-
zens, and that is their aim.
The speaker spoke upon the tariff ques-
ton. He said that it is claimed that the
| tariff raises the price Of wages, but as a
| matter of fact it is the mefest
nonsense. Every winter we aee
the wealthy monopoi Is fosking into tha
| legislative halls at Washington there 80
| lobby for a high tariff. Respecting the
great cause of regulating the wages be-
tween this country and Europe the speaker
| explained that it was as with all commo-
| dities, controlled solely by the supply and
| the demand. In this country the popula-
| ton averages four or fiye to the square
| mile, while IN EUrope the average is three
or four hundred. He referred to the atti-
tude of the Pioneer, upon the question, as
serting that that sheet upheld Democratic
principles while it cried vociferously
Good Devir' to the Republican Office
holders.
Last year We had political wave, which
swept over the land. 1t relegsted many a
currupt Republican congressman to pri-
vate life. That tidal wave Is not yet
spent, and will this fall spread over the
state Of Minnesota and elect A. Bierman
to the chair of the governor.
soLoN ARMSTRONG
followed in brief address. The Democ-
racy is now waking up, and if they are
| willing to come up and stand upon the
doctrines of the party they will come to
the front. 1t lis time, and now is the oppor-
| tunity. We believe in rotation of office,
and now is a fit, time to rotate some of
| those Republican officeholders, who have
grown fat in Office, out of Office, and ro-
tate good honest Democrats into Office.
Cheers.
