REMARKS OF 4. P. cATLIN
Mr. Coleman then introduced A. 2. Cat.
lin, who spoke as follows:
Republican veterans of 1910: l con.
graduate you, and l congratulate Sacra.
mento that so many of you have been able
to appear here to-day; that your lives and
your health has been spared to meet forty
eight years after you cast, perhaps, your
first vote, or among your first votes, for the
grandsire OF our present candidate for Pres.
ident of the United States. | was not
old enough then TO vote for General Will.
lam Henry Harrison. but | worked Just as
hard to get votes to the polls as any man in
the town where / resided at that time, in
the State OF New York. Forty eight years
in man lie is considerable space OF
time We are advancing, and have ad-
vanced for great many years, from our
youth and towards the grand close, but
we are happy in the consideration
that while our years are nearly
numbered our country is in the prime OF
its youth. [Appausel When you voted
for General William Henry Harrison in
| 1910 there were only twenty-six States in
the Union. 1t is well to look back, take 6
short retrospective, and see that while We
are advancing towards the grand close, oul
country IS in its early youth, and is going
ahead 20 a greater future, and it is well
enough TO think for 9 moment to what
| party II Is indebted for its present state o.
| progress and prosperity. How many State:
| would there have been Ia the Union now
| if Democracy could have had its way
| Can anybody tell? We know there would
not have been, at least, more than half q.
many as there are now.
THAT great election in 1910 is an epoch
in history, and will remain such to- per
| haps, the latest generations. Genera
! Harrison received 234 electoral votes; Mar
| tin Van Buren, received 234 electoral votes
| There were then 294 electoral votes, and We
now have 401. We have thirty-eight States
and nine Territories, at least four of which
are knocking vigorously at the doors o.
| Congress for admission into the Union, an6
| perhaps, in fact no doubt, before you vet.
Grams of 1910 are gathered to your fathers
there will be 40 or AZ States in the Union
| Connecticut, Delaware Georgia, Indiana
Iowa, Louisiana, Msine, Mary land
Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi
New Jersey, New York, North Caro-
lima, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island
| Tennessee and Vermont-n;neteen States
voted for General Harrison. Alabama
Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, New Hamp
shire, South Carolina and Yirginia-sever
States-voted for Martin Van Buren,"
Continuing at some length, Mr.. Catlir
| gave some very Interesting statistics in re
| gard to the progress of the country since
1910, reciting the names of the Presidents
of the United states before and since tina
time, and showing that these to whom hC
was speaking had lived during vast pro
portion of the history of the country.
GA are here" said the speaker, " auC
can take part, not perhaps with the same
enthusiasm you did in 1910, in this cam
paign that is now opening, for the purpos,
| father adorned, the present candIdat,
| of the Republican party, Genera
Benjamin Harrison. Applause OF cours,
this is not the time for entering into pc.
| litical speech, but We can say this, that til,
| Republican party has always stood, now
| stands, and always will stand for the in
| tegrity of the Union [applausel, not by
| profession merely. not by lip service, bu
by deeds. That our history has shown
Our Democratic friends profess as much at
| tachment to the Union as we do, but hav,
! their deeds proven their professions? Loci
at the historyoft the country and that answer
the question The Republican party stand
for governmental protection TO industry il
all its forms. | hope your children aud tn,
children of all generations will stand TO
will stand and 1t will be recorded in historl
to the last syllable of recorded time as
great nation. IApplause.l
II am commissioned, gentlemen, L
make presentation to you of something
that will be a Renaissance of the days o
1910. The young Republicans of the cit,
have commissioned me to pr esent each on
of you with a little hand banner bearin
the names of Benjamin Harrison for Presi
dent, Levi z. Morton for Vice President

Protection to Home Industries"

rotary, /. S. Brown; Marshal, John Ride
The officers named were selected to serv

While the committee was out Mr.. Bul
rows addressed the meeting, calling atten
ton to the fact that the campaign of l84
was made by the Wings, as the friend
of the laboring msn-just as the Republi
can party OF to-day is. General Hsrriso
was then sneered at by his opponents be
cause he was plain farmer and lived in
log cabin. The prominence given that yer
thing was what carried the election.
s. +. Hopkins gave a description of th
intense enthusiasm of the campaign {
1910.
