EX-GOV. WALLER'S VIEWS,
Speech of the Famous Connecticut lie.
former at Albany.

Mr.. Chairman and Fellow Citizens-I was one
of the committee appointed at Chicago to notify
the candidates of their nomination. That duty
has been in part discharged. The committee no.
tilted Gov. Cleveland that, in all human probable
ity he would have to move in the spring.
Laughter and applause. Tomorrow the COM
mittee will repair to Saratoga and thereby notify
Thomas A. Hendricks that the Chicago cOnven-
ton reuomnated him for reelection, at Chicago
Cheers. We will all take from your beautiful
city the pleasantest recolcctons of your universal
hospitality. The people everywhere will read
with satisfaction of this auspiCious opening of
the presidential campaign in this the capital city
of the Empire state. They will learn that here
in Albany, the official home of Gov Cleveland.
he is held in the highest esteem by those who
know him best Cheers. The Chicago con.
vention meant in their action, and the adoption
of platform and selection of committees to meet
the public expectations of that great majority of
the people OF this great country who are in favor
of honost and economical government. ICcecrs.
The platform Of the Democratic party is
unequvocal; the tariff, it is sound. The
Democratic party declares that it is
the true policy of statesmen not to raise one
dollar from the people that is not necessary
for the support Of government. What
Democrat would favor raising any
more? What Republican would say he was
in favor of taking n single dollar from the peo-
pies pocket that is not absolutely necessary?
There is but one other point and that is in rails
ing that money, it shall be so managed as to in
hict the least injury to American labor. In
other words, the Democratic policy, that
which the Republicans say is the only issue OF
the campaign is in favor Of raising Us little
money as possible and
so TAXING THE PEOPLE
That the interest and Labor Of America shall be
best protected What Republicans, anywhere,
will dare stand before the laboring men and tel
them that the Democratic platform on that sub
ject is at fault? Nay, more, it goes further
There is not a word in the Demo
cratic platform that is opposed to the principle
that, in raising taxes, IL shall be so
managed that there shall always be discrimina-
ton in favor Of what we raise and mike in this
country. If any man says that you belong to
party that is in favor OF raising more money than
is necessary, point HIM to Baine's letter Of nc
cCptance. After he has raised S10O,000,OOO
more than il necessary he wants TO distribute il
back again. Great applause. Does anyone
believe in such Craftsmanship as that: No, that
wi do for the marines. Cheers. It will do
for the Muligun guards. IGreat cheers and
IuUBDlcT. we are tbO blb w SNhilbW rutu rLHtL
as that. Now, another point. The Republican
party has no hope Of success except in the dis
sensions and divisions Of the Demo
cratic party. Now, mark that. Their
tactics will be as futile az they
are mean and contemplate. They say that they
are in favor Of the workngmen an labor. DC
you believe it? Look at the records and you viii
always Gnd-thank God for the rccords-thm
where odious laws have been passed Democrats
have repealed them. Mark another point. They
say the Democratic party shows religious in
tolerance. Shades Of ancient history protect us
Whoever dreamed that in 1884 the sahcems Of
the Know Nothing order in 1854 would be finding
fault with the Democratic party because they
we're opposed to religious tolerance. When you
are marching owe; them Democrats, remember
that the
LEADER OF THE REMNANT
or their once great party in 1854 advocated the
Infamous doctrine that foreigners were coming
10 this country too rapidly, and should be kept
out They said that men Of certain religious
persuasions ought never to be allowed 10 hold
office These are the real issues OF the cam

looking to you for help and aid. II you fai.
here corruption will thrive for another political
decade at Washington, II you keep up the rights
to fight among yourselves, and then, when
the nominations are made, come forward united;
If you exercise Cancellation, and stand by the pO
l1tieal faith Of your fathers, then the star router

Remember that the fight you are making is for
the glory and advancement Of orr great country.
stand together so that wc shall hear, on the eve
Of election, news from New York, 50 that the
papers can say that Connecticut and Sew York
are side by side geographically, are side By side
in tine great march for Cleveland and Hendricks.
Great applause.
