Ringing Speeches.


By an accident the committee failed to
secure Window hall for Democratic rally,
and the Fifth ward club went up to Turner
hall and visited the Third ward clue. The re-
suit was big turn out, and 1t was al en-
thusiaStic one, too. The various points bro light
out by the speakers ELECTED thunderS OF ap-
plause. Judge Quinn, Col. Glenn and n. N.
Merrick expounded pure Democracy and
showed up Republican misrule with telling
effect, and the brass band discoursed stirring
music.
REPUBLICANS THERE, TOO.
Judge j. B. Quinn, the first speaker, was
greeted by round OF applause, harDlnger
of an enthusiastic meeting. In his introduce
ton he said there were Republicans in the
room, and therefore he preferred 10 address
them as fellow citizens rather than fellow
Democrats. He spoke tersely of the great
issues before the people, demanding the ex-
else of their franchise. Government was
one of the necessities OF the country, and it
should be based on pure Jefersonian Demo
aracy. The Republicans, after an un1nter-
rupted reign of twenty-six years, had came
so near it that it was almost impossible to
distinguish their platform from that of the
Democratic party. Inc election OF
Grover Cleveland was one erect
of the common determination OF the
intelligent people to adopt pure Jefersonian
principles The opposition cried in holy
will be terrible catastrophe to the country
to elect Grover Cleveland" But he was
elected [applause, and the national machin-
cry now ran more smoothly than ever before,
especially better than under Republic
can rule The only trouble was ne
did not turn Republican officeholders
out for more desiring Democrats.
Speaking of the tariff, Judge Quinn advo-
Gated radical changes, and used telling ar
guments to substatiate his theory. A high
tariff has nothing in particular to do with
regulating prices. Wheat vaSciliateS from
81 cents to 81 per buShel, and no one would
be foolish enough to attempt to argue to an
intelligent people that the tariff is RESPONSE
BILE for this He saiG he was not free trader,
but had infinite faith in tariff for revenue
only. The next important question touched
upon was the labor question, and
Judge Quinn alleged that there
should not be the slightest conflict between
capital and labor. Their interests were
necessarily mutual, but who ever heard OF
capital having the slightest respect for
labor, although labor gave the capital to
certain class of our people, All the laboring
men demand is a just and equitable cOmpen-
sation. Attention was paid to the
TWO CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR
by first referring to A. r. McGill, and said
while the Republicans profess to deeply SYM
pathize with the labOring man and the farmer
they had selected McGil who is little dandy,
d man whose only QuailncatlOn Tor the posi-
ton of governor is a handsome mustache.
The only thing he has ever done to show his
qualifications has been to sit in the capitol as
insurance commissioner, and see if the in
surance companies filed their bonds
all right. While occupying that Office
he had formed strong alliance
with the ringsters, with the wheat ring. the
Piilsburys, the Fletchers, etc. The speaker
ruen talked of Mayor Ames, who is denounced
by the opposition as a human monster. In
drawing his picture in comparison, be said:
Now wouldn't you like tossee Mayor Ames
and McGill on this stage side by slider" [Cries
yes. "Well, should say you would. 1t
would be one of the funniest things of a life
time.
