LUG speaker naQ reacueu tnls poiLb
when door Of the box next to the stage
on his right hand opened and an elderly
lady in black was rushed in by a knot Of
men with green badges on their coats.
An herculean man la the center OF the
audience saw her, and, spripging to his
feet, he waved his hat and shouted:
"Three cheers for Mrs. Parnell Every
body looking at at the box and then rose
and joined in the aeafening cheers. Mrs.
Parnell rose, and, resting her gloved
hands on the rail Of the box, bowed sew
eral times in unison with the cheers that
kept echoing through the hall. When
she seated herself her youngest on,
John, stepped forward, and was cheered
for his mothers sake. When the din
had subsidized the spt aker continued:
The late political chief Of the present
Republican candidate for the Presidency
four years ago told the people Of the
United States In one Of his public
speeches, that the time had arrived for
,thorevival and application Of the prin-
ciples of Alexander Campbell. [Cheers

sponse in every true Republican heart.
He was, however, candidate when he
told his party followers that the principles
Of the Federal party Of l79S were not

dor and manhood in making this
avowal, honor him the more for not
making an appeal to secure for his party
the support OF Irish votes. II he had
made such ON appeal after invoking the
genius and spirit Of 1898 to enliven the
campaign, l think the ghost Of the great
Irishman whose memory is perpetuated
by the beautiful monument in st. Paul's
on Broadway, would have confronted
and siIenced him. It was in consequence
Of the unfriendly policy of the Federal
party toward unfortunate Ireland in
1893 TINT the noble Robert Emmett
[wiId cheeringl was prevented from COM
ming to this country with his gifted
brother before the hand Of the british
British power had been laid upon him.
The right Of asylum for long time was
denied to that noble man, and but for
the success Of the Democratic party It
would not be recognized now. 1t was
the Republican party, which by force
and fraud, for the first and last time In
our history, deprived a clear majority
Of the American people of the right to
have the President they elected putinto
office. (Great cheers.1

that Gov. Cleveland's official record was

NOT fail in his duty in support Of the
party's principles and in the protection
OF the rights Of all citizens.
At the conclusion Of Senator Jones's
speech there were loud cries Of ''Col.
lins!'' and tho Hon. Patrick A. Collins
of Boston, member of Congress and, ex-
President Of the National Land League,
came forward amidst aburst Of applause,

sents the people, and the other party
represents everything else but thepeople.
The Democratic party was buried
few years ago, but it has been resurrect-
ed. The Republicans robbed us of the
Presidency eight years ago, four years
ago they bought it, and now they are
trying to wheedle us out Of it. It ia

licans have suddenly conceived ior US as
related in their organ, the Tribune.

if James G. Blaine and his followers had
their way would have no country to-
day. But, fortunately for me, they did
uot have their way, and 30 am enabled
to take On oath as an American, and by
Gods help will faithfully keep it.
Then the speaker shifted into the
record of Mr.. Blaine:
Thirty years ago Blaine turned up in
Maine and joined a fashionable church
and edited the Kennebec Journal. A
friend Of mine, Father John Baptist,
was tarred and feathered in Ellsworth
county, aud Mr.. Blaine's paper came
and said there were grounds for the out
rage. We are in position to prove now
that the Madigan circular was set up
and printed in the Office Of the Kennebec
Journal, and that Blaine could not help
but know Of it, because he was the
Chairman Of the Republican State Com
mittee and paid all the bills. This cir
cular was intended for nothing else but
to stab an honest man in the back be-
cause he was Roman Catholic.
II is said that Blaine will make war
with England! Will hes There is not
man on the American continent who
loves England more. What can hc do
Us President that he could not do as
Sec. Q ary Of State? When indignation
filled the public press and ran broadcast
throughout the country because our
citizeis were languishing in British
| prisons, Lowell was kept at the court of
st. James [hisses] by Blaine [groansl,
| and not an effort was made to help our
| imprisoned csuntrymen.
Mr.. Collins dropped into personal
"reminiscences of Gov. Cleveland, and
was almost deafened with cheers as he
| talked.
Give us a good, honest government in
this country. turn out the plunderers
and Adventures, and we will all be
prosperous and happy. Don't we want
this country to berespected and honored
abroad as well as anyone eles Can we
be csjoled by fattery, deceived by
smiles, and led from the path of right
by:newspapers that again and again
have deceived usi-Ne,o York Sun.
