record Of his party? Did he not realize
that he was the candidate of party that
was for revenue reform or free trade.
He made this apology before be
was questioned. The Democratic party In
Congress raised this issue and it viii down.
He then referred to Carhsle's election as
Speaker Of the House and his appoinmelt
Of Morrison to head the most important
committee, the very man who read the
Democratic platform to the Chicago con-
vention. He quoted from THE REGISTER
arraigning the Democratic members of Con-
gress for voting for Carlisle. He
Thought the Register Was Right.
He declared the tariff issue the greatest
question of the campaign and spoke Of his
own record upon it. He said that the pas
sage of the Morrison bill would have de-
stroyed American labor and closed down all
the iron furnaces Of the land. If the Dem
ocratic party should succeed the effect will
be the same as in 1850. He spoke of his
trip through Name and said that in many
ways it resembled West Virginia. He
glori6ed in the great Republican victory
that had swept over the State and predicted
the same in the nation.
He then took up the census report oflS50,
as it effected Marshall county, and quoted
statistics showing the increase of population,
manufacturing establishments and farm
products of 1880 over 1870. All this he
attributed to protection and Republican
rule. He wanted no greater eulogy of the
Republican party than the census of 1880. If
you elect Mr. Brannon you will chose man
who will vote for John G. Carlisle for
Speaker. He may vote for Randall in eau
Gus, but Carlisle will win and you will find
him falling into line when the roll is called
in the House. The Democratic party had
no pt sition in the tariff and it was
Impossible to Tell How 1t Stood
from reading its platform. The Democrats
say that much labor is out of employment
to-day and that many shops are closed.
This and the general depression in business,
he said, was due solely TO the electors OF
Carlise as Speaker and the agitation of the
tariff in the last Congress and the reading
ofthe platform at Chicago BY Mr.. Morrison.
When Blaine is elected your furnace fires
will be lighted and the hum OF
industry will be everywhere heard in the
land. There were many other questions
which he desired to talk about but the
lateness of the hour forbid. ( A voice; tell
us about Windy Wilson, Gof: "0h he
has touched himself" He closed with a
glowing eulogy of Blaine and Logan and
received many cheers.
His speech lasted for two hours.
Mason Talks.
Hon. John W. Mason, of Grafton, spoke
briefly. he predicted victory for Maxwell
and Goff. He said that the immense out
poring of people meant that mossbackism,
mismanagement reassessment, Windy Will
son and the whole crowd must 60. de
spoke of COTS record in Congress, his vote
on tariff measures and his defense Of
West Virginia against the at
tacks of Wise, Of Virginia. He
advised the people to send to the rear the
assessors who had robbed their hen roosts
and haunted their chicken coops. Upon
closing he was loudly applauded, and the
crowd, which had suffered much inconveni-
ence from the cold wave, rapidly dispersed
