Hon. L. Boyd Faulkner Goes Heartily to

Hon. E Boyd Faulkner Goes Heartily TO
Work In the Canvass.
MARTrSsBURG, September 81 Exclusive
The voice of Hon. E. Boyd Faulkner was
heard in the Court House at this place on
Saturday night, and it gave forth no un-
certain sound and the Republicans looked
for neutral speech they were wofully dis
appointed for from beginning to end, 1t
bristled with home thrusts which punetured
the Republican armor at every point On
National, State and county issues ne was
perfectly at home. He showed from his.
torical data that the Democratic party had
always been the party to advocate
and protect the interests OF the
people. Under Jefferson it had wiped out
the Infamous alien and sedition laws; under
jackson the cruel imprisonment-for-debt
laws had been abolished. Under all Dem
ocratic administration commerce wss en-
couraged, industries hourished, and Ameri-
can citizens, whether foreign or native
born, were entitled to and in every case did
receive full and complete protection from
other oowers. He show ed the immense sur
plus now in the United States Treasury OF
the peoples money and denounced the pol
lev which drew so much from tae already
over-taxed people. He arraigned the Re
publican party for usurpstion of power,
useless expenditures of the public
funds, its reconstruction policy, which sent
such men as Moses and Bullock to tyran-
nize over and rob the Southern States, and
for the electoral commission. Mr. Faulkner
on State affairs defed any one to point to
any dishonest or dishonorable act done BY
Democratic ADMINISTRATION. All expenses
we're itemized in the Auditors report, which
was open to the world for examination. As
far as the State borrowing from
The School Fund
was concerned, whe, he asked, had better
right? 1t was far better that the State
should borrow it at per cent. than that the
same should be invested in bonds at 4
per cent. in addition to a
big premium to brokers. The money
had been used by the State for State pur-
poses, and not one dime had been misap-
piled. He also paid his respects to the
Flick amendment, and after showing how
far it fell short in righting the peoples
wrongs, and amid great applause he de-
Tended the action of the Democrats who
voted against it. He stood squarely upon
the Charleston platform, and emphatically
so, in respect to the supplemental assess
ment order. He didn't consider Mr.. Jack
son the mouthpiece ofthe Democratic party,
nor should the party be held responsible
for the Governors blunders. 1t would
be idle to even attempt a full resume of
what was said, but this much is certain, the
effort was brilliant, caustic, argupentative
and exhaustive, and it produced a most
excellent effect upon all who heard it, with
the exception. perhaps, of few irreconcila-
bic Republicans. As a campaign docu'
ment the speech could be used with fine
effect throughout the entire State.

ClEYELANp's SPEECH.
Some striking Extracts From His Recent
Elmira Address.

/ Some striking Extracts From His Recent
Elmira Address.
| ALBANY, September 9-The speech de-
liyered at Elmira yesterday by Governor
. Cleveland appears to be already bearing
[ fruit The portions most generally COM
mended are these:
Farmers are the Most Independent
of our citizens. They produce or have with
in their reach, all they need for their neces-
sites and comfort Their crops may be
more abundant at one harvest than at an
other. Their products may command a
higher price at one market time than at an
other. These conditions may expand or
contract their ability to indulge in luxuries
or in expenditures not absolutely needful
but they should never be in want ofthe neces.
ssries or comforts of life. This is the sure
result of patient and well regulated farming
When farmer fails and becomes bankrupt
in his business we may, think, confidently
look for ShittlesSness or too ambitious de
sire to own more land or stock than he can
pay for, or an intermeddhng with matters
that bear no relation to his farm, or such
mismsnagement and ignorance as demon
state that he has mistaken his vocation
Fortunes NAV be quickly smassed in specu-
lation and lost in day, leaving bad ex-
ample and perhaps demorahzation and
crime.
The Tradesman and Manufacturer
by the yiciSsitudes Of trade or through the
alurements of u short road to wealth, may
in dsy be overcome and bring disaster
and ruin upon hundreds of his neighbors.
But in the industrious, intelligent and con-
tented farmer the State finds a safe and
profitable citizen always contributing to its
wealth and prosperity. The real value of a
farmer to the State and nation is not, how
ever, fully appreciated until we consider
that he feeds millions Of our people who are
engaged in other pursuits; that the product
OF his labor fills the avenues of our COM
merce and supplies an important factor in
our financial relations with other nations.
have not come to attemp' to please you
with cheap and fulsome prise, nor to mag
nifty your worth and Importance, but have
come as the Chief Executive of the State to
acknowledge on its behalf that the farmers
Weld full return for the benefits they re-
ceiye from the State Government. | have
come to remind you OF the importance OF
the interests "hlch YOU nave lu CuarHe, auu
to suggest that Notwithstanding the farm
er's Independence, he cannot and
must not be entirely unmindful of
the value and importance to the in
terests he hold Of Just and economi-
cal government. 1t is his right and his
duty to demand that all unjust and equit-
able burdens upon agriculture and its pro
ducts. however caused, shoAld be removed
and that while the furtherance of other in
terests of the State have due regard this
imrortant one should not be neglected.
Thus bv his labor a. a farmer, and in the
full performance of his duty as citizen, he
will create and secure 70 himself his share
OF the result of his toll acd save and guard
for all the people the most irrpo'tsnt eIe
ment in the prosperity Of the State.
