marchers numbered about 5000. In
addition to local organizations uni
formed bodies were present from
neighborlpg cities. General Logan
arrived from Pullman en- special
train landing at the Twenty Sscond
Street depot at 9 O'Clock. The al
vent of the train was announced oy
the firing of artillery and a brilliant
display of fire works. A mounted es
eort was in waiting and the dist'n-
guished party having entered car
risges, the cavalc 4de took up the
line of msrch northward on Michl-
gan Boulevard to Lake Park, where
stands had been erected for the
speakers Of the evening, and
il was 1890 b fore the
last of the marching escort had
reached the point of rendezvous
and General Logan was e:corted to
the speakers stand. The crowd

about 10000. On the stand were

ton, Hon, Joseph Medill, Hon.
Charles B. Farwell, William Penn
Nixon, Congressman Davia. Dun

vice. presidents to the number Of

and spoke as follows;

Ia part, to represent, | therefore
deem 1t proper at this tims to exam
! inc some of the questions that di,
vide the two great parties of thi;
country. The Democratic party
controlled this government, will
only few intervals, from 1897 tt
1861, and during these twenty-tou
years there was only one important
measure enacted In accord wi b II!
financial policy now remaining up0r
the statute books, viz: the independ
ent treasury system. Its financia
policies in all other respects have
failed and have been abandoned by
the country. The doctrine of State
sovereignty, by which the nation
was to be subordlnated 10 individual
States, is now repudiated by The
people. Under this doctrine thu
southern half OF the Democracy en-
tered into gigantic rebellion
against the government. While ,
majority OF the Democrats Of Thu
north were loyal to government (;
great many of their organization
sympathized with the south. Ii
1862 the Democrats lost control O
the government; they left IL iinsH
cially wrecked, the people dis
heartened and the country almos
in ruins. Their finan cial ideas ant
tariff policy had biougt the nation
to its lowest Level, without credi
and almost without hope for thu
future. II we may judge them BY
their record up TO that time, tberl
is no ground for belief that they
could now so manage the affairs o
the republic as to meet the presen
| demands Of the peop'e.
| The speak er then went 90 TO lie,
clare the Democratic uarty had re
sisted every advance. in fnanc
and every measure touching the
sources of human happiness. 1t op
posed the emancipation of slave
and the homestead laws. It had lef
the doctrine Of voluntary expatrIa
ton in such shape that citizens Of
foreign birth were Sc 'zed and forced
into the armies OF foreign govern
ments until the Republican Con
gress gave them the same protection
which is afforded 10 native borl
citizens. In reforms of the ciyi
service instituted by the Republican
party opposition had been shown BY
