SPEECH OF HON. MARTIN MAGINNIs.
Mr.. Maginnis said: Tie miners are the
salt of the earth. Men who 60 down into
the bowels OF the earth to wiring from it
amid it's groanings the hidden wealth of
ages, are not appalled, by the most incIem-
ent weather. The faces I see before me to-
night are not those of fa~ir-weather Demo-
Gratis. (Three cheers for Toole and three
cheers for the county ticket.)
The speaker paid a handsome compli-
ment to the persons who have shown such
an interest in walking to Butte to take
part in the parade and to the citizens of
Butte who had manifested such a friendly
interest in making the meeting so marked
\ success, and his hope that the enthusi-
asm manifested would roll on and continue !
20 gather strength until the second OF
was greeted with cheers.
l have been out OF politics for years, the 1
remarked, but I am here tonight
70 speak in support of Joe Toole. (Three /
cheers Tor Toole.) The boys in Helena
5old me Sanders was on the track again
md as | had ridden him so successfully |
before l would have to 90 and ride him |
again. You know how Mclean rode him,
low he bucked when Cavanaugh mounted |
him and how 1 gave him the worst ride he
had from Glendive to the Ceur |
l'Alene. Well, I am told the old warhorse /
g on the track again, but he is not the
Drancing nag he once was. In place |
Of a helmet and a shield for his armor he |
before us with a railroad spike in 4
Ills forehead. The saddle he now rides is |
5he cushion OF a pullman car, and when he
becomes too obstreperous those who
him in training put on the West |
Dghouse air brakes and he goes down the
easy. He glides smoothly along the
'ailroad and snorts out Sparks! Sparks
(Cheers.)
Sanders says the Democrats were not |
cautious enough to avoid endorsing the ad-
Why, being that we have !
only had a chance to endorsea Democratic
ADMINISTRATOR once IN bWenty-fOur years, !
'hould we be denied the privilege of doing
20 and OF being glad of the chance. But the
administration of Cleveland has been so
conservative and sound that we have but
% follow on in the same line, and when the
;urtain of the nineteenth century is rolled |
lp this country then. as now, will be under
rule. (Cheers.)
The speaker then paid a glowing tribute
the flag of u country, to the nation
md the Democratic party. Continuing, he
aid: Cleveland may have made some
Mistakes, who inexperienced has not. but
AVE not those mistakes been remarkably 1
ew? The speaker defended the a1ministra-

great ship-building establish
nent and his remark that it were
for the nation to have honest ships
han big institutions making money dis
was responded to with cheers.
This is n o funeral procession. We will not
ave an icicle for a corpse. 1t is the old
'ar horse that will be dead on Tuesday,
nd we'll stuff him and put him in front of
h Cadigau's saloon. (Cheers.) The
