This brought out thunders OF applause from
the enthusiastic audience and it was some
minutes before the could resume. The recent

of the country, was referred to, and the

cause there was nothing on which to base the
charges The speaker advised Republicans

When the colonel stopped talking loud
calls for other speakers were heard. Chris
Gallagher was introduced by the chairman,
and made an eloquent speech. in which he
nailed many of the campaign lies which
have been circulated. The homestead law
was discussed, and the manner in which
the human sharks" made it means Of
grinding the poor man. The record OF the
Republican party was arraigned and COM
pared with that of the Democratic party.
Cheers greeted the comparison. The two
dollar-a-head speeches of the Republican
candidate for mayor last spring was spoken
Of. and when the speaker said the speech
was not vet dead the audience corroborated
the remark by wild applause. The Re
publican cry of Mayor Amer releasing men
who had been arrested was taken up and
pulled to pieces in thorough and satisfac-
tory manner. The color question was
brought up, and the cOlOred men present
drew out much applause from the audience
by sanctioning the speech Of Mr.. Gallagher
in an enthusiastic manner.
Judge Rand was next introduced as the
''handSomest man in the Democratic
party" The judge paid warm tribute to
Dr.. 4. 4. Ames, and worked his way
directly into the hearts of the audience by
all eloquent and brilliant speech His
speech was interspersed with a number of
stories which well illustrated the position
of the Republican party. Judge Hollins
followed, and made a ringing speech,
touching upon the topics of the day.
A number of other well known Democratic
speakers followed, and made few remarks
in the interest of the state and county
Democracy.
