hour, the committee to meet him was not at the

600 people gathered in Battery D arn1ory this
evening, for the purpose of listening to an adj
dress by General Butler He appeared shortly
after o'clock and was received with cheers.
He said most of the people both in the Republic
an and Democratic parties were honest,
and there were bad men in both. The Savior of
mankind, in choosing his twelve apostles found
one who had devil and was thief. The do
ings OF the Republican party of late had shown
that there were considerable number of
corrupt men in it The Democratic and Green
back parties, within the past twenty-five years,
had no chance to be tempted, and therefore it
could not be known whether they were corrupt.
The Republican party had made good record in
saving the Union and freeing 1000, 900 Of slaves,
but that was past record, like that on a tomb
stone. The Democratic party made good record
under jackson; and if jackson was alive

PRESIDENT If they voted with either of the old
parties, or divided their votes between them, the
workingnlens vote would be thrown away. The
speaker was laboring to keep the other parties
from succeeding in their scramble for Office If
his hearers would vote for him, their votes
would not be thrown away, even they
didn't succeed in electing their candidate.
Men were in the habit of coming
to him and asking him if he really
expected to be elected His reply was, he didn't
care He was sent here to the Democratic con-
vention to ask that body what it was going to
do for the laboring man. 1t wouldn't promise to
do anything, and he left it. Now he wanted the
workingmen to vote together, no matter whether
their candidate was elected or not. If they did
this, they would not have to ask the parties, at
the next conventions. what they would give the
Forkingman. They would come to him and ask
what he wanted.
The speaker then proceeded to speak of the
demands which he had made at the Democratic
convention in behalf of labor, in q vein similar
to that pursued by him in former speeches. and
followed with similar references to the action of
the tariff laws and the Importation of labor under
contract

MADISON, Wis, Sept 3-The presenee of
General Logan in Madison and the popular
demonstration in his honor, combined with the
meeting Of the Republican State convention. has
crowded the city with politicians and sight
seeers. The Prohibitionists are also here in
force, urging their claims on the Republican
party and preparing for their State convention,
which occurs tomorrow.
The Republican State convention was called
to order at 1912 by Chairman Taylor, of the
State central committee who urged that the
business be conducted with dispatch, owing to
the fact that q mass meeting would be addressed
by General Logan at o'clock. He thought the
proceedings could be finished early, because of
the unanimous desire that the present State
officers be renominated
Permanent organization was perfected by the
nomination of O. II. Fethers as presiding officer,
there being no temporary organization On tax
ing thu chair Mr.. Fethers thanked the conven-
ton in strong Republican speech.
During the absence of the committee on reso-
lutions, Judge Humphries moved that the pres.

ton, and the motion prevailed, without debate.
