heHuIlCAS reached mere To-Day ana WAS
driven to 4 hotel without any parade or
ceremony. In the afternoon be took q
drive through the suburbs and received
calls, but made no address. Senator
Bayard, of Delaware, Judge Thurman
and General ROSeCranS are also IL the
city to attend 4 meeting at night.
Senator Bayard visited the Chamber OF
Commerce and made q brief speech to
the effect that he had found in public
life a great help from the business edu-
cation he received when IN youth. At
night all these gentlemen were driven
to the Music Hall and found it almost
impossible to enter, so great was, the
thrOnS. AS Ex-Governor Hendricks
made his way through on the
stage and appeared at the speakers
desk, the entire mass of people
rose to their feet and cheered
again and again, waved hats and hand
kerchief5 and shouted for Cleveland
and Hendricks. Similar demOnstra
tons OF less intensity, marked the ap-
pearance of General RoSecrans, Senator
Bayard, Judge Thurman and Senator
Pendleton. VI. L. ingalls, called the
meeting to order. Senator Pendleton,
Is chairman, introduced Ex-Governor
Hendricks, who, after the depressing
demonstration made when be entered
the hall, began his speech by saying
that the election next Tuesday Is OF
great Importance, on account Of the
offices TO be filled, but more especially
because OF the influence it will have on
all the States In the November election.
He, therefore, appealed to Ohio TO give
all proper consideration to this election.
The election in November was not only
o, ffNO Of INIT {hn inrrsfT.go nE q
national policy. That decision would
turn not only on the men presented,
but on the policies and principles they
represented. He then proceeded to
argue that there should be change in
the administration OF the government,
and gave, among other reasons, the con-
! cessiOn in the Republican platform thai
the tariff was laid Unequally and that
more revenue was collected than was
necessary for the economical admins
tratiOn of the government. If these
faults were conceded by the party which
had been in power for nearly a quarter
OF century, he asserted there should be
a change, so that the remedy could be
applied. In proof OF The admission by
/ the Republicans OF the existence OF ex-
! cessiye revenue, he cited President Ar
| thurs message OF two years ago, when
/ he called the attention OF Congress to
the matter and suggested aPpropria+s
! legislation. The revenue law was mod.
! fed, but not sufficiently and now Il

was $50. 600, 600 annually. This sum wa

he said, the times were fairly good,
with fair wages for labOrers. Republi
can orators said, ''let well enough
alone" and we were not able to answer
that short but powerful argument. Dc

that times may be better. CHEERS

have great weight, when the party in
power keeps calling in from the people

Turning to the question of what remedy
the Democrats proposed for this ex-
cessive taxation, he read the declare
tons of the platform TO which the
Democratic nominees were pledged,
and said beyond this question
they met the case. The banner OF
Democracy thus inscribed, he said,
was placed in the hands OF Grover
Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks.

in facetious manner read the demands
of the Republican platform for
a restoration of the navy and for
the destruction of pOlygamy, and
said he too wanted a navy strong

Referring TO the German detection IN
Ohio, he said the Republicans were
trying to make up for it by getting the
Irish vote. This he regards as a PROOF
of desperation, and doubted the Akell-
hood of the Irish voting with the he
nublicans for a man who as Secretary
o state allowed McSweeny, an Amer can
citizen, to be in a foreign jail without
charge or without trial. After Tldlcut
