The first speaker introduced by the chair
man, DR.. F. II. Mulligan, was Mr. Brown,
party, national as we'll as local,
but during his remarks he
said ''this was not a nation but confedera-
ton Of states" and 1t was feared by many
Of his friends that he would so forget him
self as TO launch out into his own ideas and
sentiments that the Democracy of to-day
term dead issues, but happily he controlled
himself and 1t was quite a relief when he sat
down-the audience was restless To hear 9TH
ers. Mr.. Steel made a few appropriate re-
marks, and timely ones that Immediately
put every one In good humor in his usual
happy manner, aud thanked the Republican
friends who had helped them out on the
national and local ticket at the recent cleo
ton.

evening from logical standpoint as well as
from an Independent one. The judge said
It was bis irst appearance in the past can
vass, as he did not have time to spare, but
upon receiving telegram to address his
old Wsbashaw friends, he could
not say no. He stood before

that denotes the feelings Of an honest man,

Of that psrty we're not to protect the rich and
make them richer. but to protect the poor
from the nominations of the millionaires who
have gotten their wealth at the expense of
the poor Of the land, and illustrated that the
tariff that protects iron aud lumber manufac-
lures come out Of the pockets of the masses
as consumers, and the tariff so
paid goes into the hands Of the man
ufscturers as clear profit. He believed that
the Democratic party would henceforth be on
its good behavior. and allow Office TO seek
the man, and not man the Office aud stated
as long As the party followed that motto so
long would the people recognize II as prin-
ciple and psrty that they could put their
trust in. The speaker gave his Democratic
friends some good advice and II followed up

to put into Office. To be president elect, Gro

land lads and lassies INDUCED In a social
