All and Bob Taylor opened the Joint
canvass at Madisenyille. Monroe county,
Thursday last, each speaking two hours,
10 an audience Of 1000 people, who man
itested great intercs, in the speeches and
who at times interrupted the candidates
with vehement applause. Thus opened
the mos, remarkable canvass for Cover
nor ever iuaugurated in the United States
and one thai we trust will never again be
paralleled In the history of any state,
Each of the candidates fully realized
the Importance Of first impressions and
the fact that at least one. half of the news
paper readers Of the state would read
verbatim reports Of their speeches within
twenty. four hours of delivery. and that
the entire reading population Of the state
would see the reports within a week.
They also realize that the u%tteranccs OF
that day would be regarded as an index
Of their position and standing on all i'm
portant points of political interest TO the
|, people of the state. We regret very
/, much that our limited space and the
, scope of our paper will not allow us to
reprint the full text of both speeches
but.we will satisfy ourselves with a re-
view only of the prominent points in
each speech.
Hon. All Taylor spoke first, showing
;, the false promises and false accusations
that had enabled a Democratic admins
p tration to ride into power, and impress
inc on his hearers the inability OF that
IS PARTY, after charging fraud for twenty
wears against the Republican party, to
prove the slightest deficiency in the ma
tional treasury. He illustrated the con
:, slant depreciation of values and the
:" ~stringency of money matters in a lucid
IS manner, and charged the Democratic ad
,g ministration with the responsibility fo'
NJ this state of affairs. Showed that ever,
progressive step taken by this govern
y ment in the last twenty five years hat
TO been due to the work of the Republican
party and that after the success OF eacl
step had been demonstrated the oppos
Wy ing party, though first bitterly Opposes
is to 1t, had eventually claimed the credi
oh for the good results; explained the Blai
educational bill and the great benefit I
U.s. be derived by the Southern States from
wy IL it should become a law, and explain
Ids ed the reason that impellcd the Dem'
cratic party to oppose 1t; defined his pC
!" sition on the tariff rs In favor of q prt

!, t. Bob congratulated his hearers on DEM
= " cratic success in national affairs, an
IN prophesied himself to be the next Go
ing ernor Of this State, and congratulate
NAL his hearers on that, and declared that Il
o;n. Republican party had presented no ne
claims for public endorsement since /
defeat in 1884; claimed Andrew JohnsC
-, rs u Democrat, and took occasion to pa
inc a fulsome eulogy on his memory; accu
ear ed the Republican party of the theft

,ent ends OF Republican corruption that ha'
never been proven, and upbraided II
