tax fell most heavily ON the laboring man.
The speaker referred to the home rule
plank in the platform. guaranteeing
offices in the Territory to persons living
in the same. The Republicans had a
similar plank which was violated on the
first opportunity, notably in the case of
the Supreme Judge and Register of the
Land. The speaker here paid n high
compliment to the ability and efficiency of
Hon. W. W. Corlett, whom he said
should have been selected for the former
position Notwithstanding the plank in the
Republican platform. He then referred
to who would oppose and who support the
ticket. Thousands of honest Republicans
would oppose and they would be assisted
by thousands of dishonest Democrats. 1t
would be supported by the reform ele-
ment of the country in both parties and
he predicted its election. He closed by
saying the Democratic candidates would
be i%naugurated peaceably if possible, by
force if necessary.
Mr.. Campbell was greeted with loud
and prolonged cheers, the band played
My Country, It's of Thee, p the display
of fireworks was again resumed, and again
THE THRoNG AVE Way To WILD ENTHU-
sIAsM,
and cheers once more rent the air.
MR.. r. II. MILLER
then came forward and commenced the
delivery of an address. He proceeded to
say that the Democratic party have just
presented the names of Grover Cleveland
and Thomas A. Hendricks as their candi-
dates for President and Weep President.
He for one proposed to support these
candidates so far as he or any
one can support a candidate here in the
territories. These men had been selected
as the standard bearers of the great Ma
tional Democratic party, and he wanted to
explain why it was that he considered it
his duty to support them and hope for
their success. He knew they would be
successful, as did every man who watched
the progress of events. The time has
eome to put an end to the corruption
and misrule which has characterized the
the government of this great nation for
the past twenty years [cheersl The grand
old patriotic Democratic party could and
would put a stop to this corruption which
has been a disgrace to the nation and
they can do it under the leadership of
that patriot, Grover Cleveland Ichccrsl
and with him that other patriot, Thomas
A. Hendricks. [Cheers. Why, they
talk about Il platform and all that and
find fault with the resolutions that have
been adopted. He wanted to say to
everybody that Grover Cleveland was a
sufficient platform in himself, cheers The
Democratic party needed no other plat
form than him. Cheers. What was
the Republican platform, what did it
amount to? Does it mean anything? 1t
meant nothing in his Judgment and the
party is not capable of meaning anything
in its utterances, Cheers, The Demo-
cratic party not only has a platform
but it has a history which it maxwell be
proud of (cheers); while on the other
hand what has the Republican party to
boast Of? That party was all tainted with
fraud and corruption, and no man to-day
can point at it and say that it is a party
with principles or worthy objects in view.
Cheers.) Here Mr.. Miller made an elo-
quent ~allusion to the past and pointed to
some Of the statesmen Of old, and those
who had helped to make this country.
Such men as Jim Blaine and John \.
Logan and the star routors now stood in
their places, and we are going to drive
them out. (Cheers.) We are going to put
good men in their places. (Cheers.)
We are going TO put Grover
Cleveland there Lchccrsl and honest old
Tom Hendricks loud cheers. and we are
going to have a pure administration of
the affairs of this Government. TCheers.
lie was once in the City of Washington
and saw a large throng of people vending
their way to the Capitol, and he went up
there and saw Hiram Revels take oath of
office as a United States Senator from
Mississippi. This man was a Republican
then and is now, but he wanted to say to
all who heard him that Hiram Revels to-
day is opposed to Jim Blaine for the
Presidency, Cheers. For want of space
VT regret that we are unable to give a more
extended synopsis of Mr.. Miller truly
able and eloquent address, which was
delivered In his almost inimitable style,
but VIC do not ovcrstate the case at all
when we say that it was one of the finest
speeches that we have ever listened to in
Cheyenne, At the conclusion of Mr..
MiIler's speech there was another outburst
of cheers, the band played and again
the fireworks illuminated the heavens.
MIR KLINE
was then called for and made a few re-
marks, and loud calls were made for Hon.
David Miller aud also T. Jeff. Carr,
neither Of whom came forward, but j. c.
Baird, ESD, responded in Mr.. Millcr's
stead and at that g%entleman's re-
quest announced to the immense
throng that Mr.. Miller had Just
received n private telegram frow New
York City announcing that John Kelly
and Tammany Hall had decided to sup
port Cleveland. This announcement was
received with tremendous cheers, and
amid these and with a final patriotic air
from the band, the great meeting dis
persed, having been the largest, most nu
