Professor Louis Bail, one of the vice-presi-

his regrets in the form of short address,
showing his hearty cooperation and his in
terest in the meeting. This letter was read
to the meeting by the president
Mr.. S. Dana Horton, from Ohio, was the
| first speaker of the evening. Mr.. Horton
was United States delegate to the Paris
| Monetary conferences of 1878 and 1881, and
| is an author of recognized authority and
ability as well as logical and convincing
| speaker On question of economics Mr.
| Horton may be listened to with confidence.
/ He began by a most pertinent reference to
| the total responsibility of the Democratic
| party in questions of finance. We have
no guaranty that the monetary sys-
L tenn of the country will remain undisturbed
nor any confidence in the ability of the Dem
| ocratic party to manage the affairs of govern
/ ment Let the tariff that protects American
/ industry be reduced below the protective
4 point and the most serious embarrassment
1 will result to oJr manufacturers, unless the
cost of production is reduced to compete with
/ the foreign made goods, a result that can
| only be effected by such a reduction of wages
as will impoverish the workingman. Nor
will the decrease in prices help
| the workingman if the means
| of support are withdrawn from him by rea-
son of languishing industry. Mr.. Horton
| did not indulge in campaign personalities.
| He exhorted his audience to look at the
/ great principles of the Republican party
| proved true by its success and by the appro-
| val of the people for a quarter of century.
i This great party has for its leader to-day a
man who after twenty years of public life
can be DETAINED only by the most paitry ac-
1 cusations.
MI. F. w. HoIlz, of New York, next ad-
dressed the meeting. He spoke of the Dem
/ ocratic boast that German might be pur-
chased by glass of beer, and ridiculed the
| idea that any German would affiliate for any
such paltry reason with the party SO notori
ously without principles or consistency. The
| party that nominated James G.. Blaine may
| expect in November the votes of theGermans,
and protection at home, with security abroad
will be the reason why they were cast for him.
| The speaker did not ignore the fact that
| the tariff was the live issue of this campaign,
though it may be denied or disregarded in
the political creed of the Democratic party.
A comparison of the wages of Germany and
| of the United States followed, and any at.
tempt of the Democrats to change the estab-
lished order of things by any meddling with
the tariff was deprecated.
The speakers had the fullest attention OF
the audience The meeting was in the high
est degree successful and gratifying.
