.gi5 THE MEETING. =
1t had been the detention to have the
speaking in the Court House, but tba,
idea was abandoned us soon US the size Of
'hr crowd WIS seen. Not one-thirl OF those
that wanted to see and hear the gallant
Generiil could lave crowded into the
edlfce. There WIS no other way but to
hold IN out door meeting, and a stand
was hnstilv constructed in front of Me-
Fadden's Hotel. The crowd extended
across the street and for nearly Il ilulI
square in both directions, and one notice
able feature about it was, that it did no:
diminish rs the General continued to
speak, but remained standing in the Geld
and listening, and when he showed indi.
cations OF stopping urged him to 20 OH.
Mayor Purdy called the asscmblage to
rlrr and called on Dr. W. S. Simonton,
candidate for reelection to the! House OF
Delegates, to preside. The Doctor in a
very, neat speech introduced Gen. Goif, "a
gentleman whose position needs no ex.
PLANTATION, whose course needs no apol-
osy,. The General was cheercd for sew
eral minutes before he was able to pro.
ceed.' He commenced by tbankin. the
people for the royal demonstration tina,
had been accorded him, and then pro-
ceeded to give in plain manner, one that
was not to be misunderstood and; was
easily understood by the dullest, reasons
Tor the faith that was in him. lie is the
same entertain!n. speaker he has always
oeen. There is Il magnetism about him
that ryets the attention OF, and ro,Ises eu-
thus1astlc responses from everyone. Ee
speaks rapidly and at times passionatclv,
YET every word is heard on the outskirts
OF a large crowd. - :
REPUBLICAN MARSHALL. -.t-.7
He spoke OF the homage Marshall
county had always paid the grand party
that was now on the eve OF another rrra,
victory, complilncnted the Plumed
hnights who are marching under that
glorious starry banner with 4 step that
means victory-a victory that will be ma
lestic in the EXTREME, and then stopped
fora moment to speak OF himself. He
said, you know | did not desire this DO.
SItion, and desire to say now, that in.
profoundly grateful Tor the manv5 eyi-
dences OF regard that the people OF this
county and State have heapel upon
me, | may say continually. I thought
there were others who should fill nv
place, but your convention thought other
wise and lwas again chosen to make the
race. l have never shirked Il response
oility aud never will. am on the track
and my best endeavors are for you. TAp-
plausel. a word as to my opponent
Ju lge Brannon. This distinguished Gen.
Il ;man have. known and met for num-
b.r OF years and found him 10 be an hon.
urable man. am not here to abuse him.
| am here TO uphold against him the elo.
rious banner OF lscpublicanism, and It is
for YOU to assist me-
The Democratic howl, "sTurn the rascals
out" was the next theme. ats no areu-
mcnt for a change; make them give You
reasons. They may abuse Blaine, de-
nonnce Logan, heap cpithcts on mc and
generally beli:tle the Republican party,
but I love it still. I love it for its purity,
progress, justice and because it his ever
dared to do right. 1t is no party OF ex-
Pediency, but is always ready to give
reasons for its actions. There NAV be bad
men i" the party, God knowns there are
in the Democratic party, but tho Repub-
llcan party when it hls found them ont
has always mustered them to the rear,
You can purify the service rs well as the
Democratic party can"
..,yA WHY THEY, SHOULD STAY.
Why turn them out? Because thev
have made grand nation, based on prin-
ciplcs as lasting. as eternity; because they
have !, washed i9nljspots from Liberty's
garment andinade us not only III name.
but reality, freemen; because they have
made a home for foreign-born citizens ::
because it placed the grandest army the
wor!d ever saw in the field to fight 10. the
grandest cause ever known; because
it has reduced a war debt OF a
fabulous sum to 4 comparative
ly small amount; because thev
have lighted fires in furnaces, built up
manufactures and opened your wilderness
until prosperity smiles all over the land !:
because it has given you as 4 candidate
the grandest representative OF the sub
lime principles OF your party; because
they havesiven youin Logan the most mag
niiicent hero OF the volunteer soldiery:
because. Blaine represents the greatest
and Logan the erandcst ideas OF your
party? Turn the rascals outf1why L?
Great applause
After 4 glowing tribute to Blaine the
General reached the tariff issue. Blaine
the typical American statesman, the most
Americanized American on the American
continent, the champion OF labor and in
dustry believes that they should be pro-
tected by the broad shield OF American
law; that, the Republican party has ever
struggled for. The General then briefly
and succinctlv reviewed the history of the
tariff principles that the Republican party
stands on, and on which topic the Demo.
cratic party is not at all sound. He re.
ierred to Judge Drannon at the time he
was nominated when, almost the frs,
words he said were, ~ ain no free traicr."n
Why? Who had charged him witt, being
one? he did protest too much; he knew
he would be Judged by the company he
kept, 4 company always mistrustcd on
this question, and SO answered before
Questioned. Carlisle and Morrison and
their issues, which were taken up by q
Democratic Congress were handled fairly
and plainly. The utterances OF the RSgiis
