way the people can sustain it is to vote not
for party interests alone, but for principle.
Mr.. Worthington believed that in tariff
reduction lay the path to wealth, happi-
ness and individual prosperity, and that
the democratic party expressed the pop
ular sentiment in this campaign in that
grand utterance Equal rights for all,
and special privileges for none
At the close of his speech, which oc-
cupied nearly two hours in its de-
livery, Mr.. Worthington was presented
with beautiful bouquet. and this pleas
ant little incident increased the enthusi-
asm of the delighted and enthusiastic au
dience which had sat attentively to this
time. and it broke forth in applause
which almost shook the building, and
people swarmed up upon the stage to
grasp the hand and become acquainted
with the eloquent speaker.
Mr.. Worthington's address was not 8
stump speech. It.was clear.cut, elo
quent statement of facts backed by proc
of every assertion made; entirely fret
from abuse and carrying with 1t TIT
weight of sound argument and logic. He
solved the great issues of the day in {
manner readily understood, and his re-
marks were as instructive as they wer,
interesting and eloquent.

at the c.. NJ & St. P. depot on suspicion
the other morning. circuit, it will be re-
membered, made a confession here of
being professional thief. He made no
bones about the matter-seemed if any,
thing to be proud of it. But since being
taken back to Iowa City he has turned
out a most dangerous and desperate
character. Yesterday he made confess
sion there which was startling in the ex>
IRENE.
For year the police of Iowa City and
the secret detectives of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific railway have been in
search of the man who tried TO wreck
the passenger train on the above named
road near Iowa City year ago. Will
liam circuit is that man. He confessed
yesterday that he tried to wreck the train
and that his motive was robbery of the
passengers. He has been bound over to
await the action of the grand jury.
circuit is twenty years of age and
was reared in Iowa City. For the
past few years he has been travelling
around great deal, associating with
characters of the most desperate class.
1t is believed by the Iowa City authors
ties that circuit is the party who set fire
to number of old buildings that recent
ly burned down in that city, The con>
fession of circuit has caused great sur
prise. Circuits parents reside in Iowa
City and are said to be mo st estimable
people, highly respected The young
man himself had, previous to his arrest,
borne fair reputation. The penitentiary
stares circuit in the face-where he
ought to be-should have been long be-
fore he commenced his desperate career
of burglar, robber, incendiary and train
wrecker.
Meanwhile Officer Meenan enjoys the
credit of having made remarkably clever
capture. and he stands good show OF
getting reward of $500 for his alert

A PARTY's PROUD RECORD.

The democratic party, he held, had
never been equipped in better form and
weight for a campaign than this year
found it. 1t is proud of its platform and
candidates. The platform represents
that necessary principle that unnecessary
taxation is unjust taxation. The money
of the people should be in the pockets of
the people. The democrats do not be-
lieve that the way to make the people pros
porous and happy is to tax them. The
democratic party has always been the
party of the people, in favor of the peos
pile and opposed to rings and cliques. 1t
has fought the battles of the people since
1903, when President Jefferson acquired
for the government that vast domain ex-
tending west Of the Rocky mountains,
down to and including the past three
years and half, during which time a
democratic administration has regained
from monopolistIc control 10000, 900
acres of the public domain. By the
reason of the democratic party being
a party of the people, it has survived
defeats that would have been eternally
disastrous to a political organization
founded on, and maintaining any other
principle.

Equally proud is the democratic party
of its candidates. Mr.. Worthington said,
and he alluded to the firm, honest, digni-
fed, business. like administration of
Grover Cleveland. The unanimity of the
presidents denomination came not more
as nomination than as ratification of
popular administration, He denied the
often made assertion that Grover Cleve-
land is man of destiny. Grover Cleve-
land creates his own destiny, destiny
that comes from doing the right thing at
the right time: from firm disposition
and determination to do what conscience
dictates to be right, regardless of the re-
suits or consequences. The speaker dwelt
upon the wisdom of the democratic party
in nominating Allen G. Thurman for
vice president; a man, as Mr.. Worthing-
ton said, who in all his vocations of fifty
years had left his life like an open book,
without blot or stain. The announce
ment of his acceptance of the honor SO
unanimously conferred. brought hsppi-
ness to the hearts of all the old demo-
Gratis who had learned to love and rever-
ence him.
THIS CAMPAIGN AND THE TARIFF
This rs less campaign of candidates
than of principles. The times of bitter
ness in political strifes such as this, have
largely passed by; party hatred has dis
appeared. We are considering now an
economical question that appeals to dem
ocrats and republicans on the same plane
Mr.. Worthington then passed on to the
tariff question. He denied that the ques
ton was one between free trade and pro
lection, or Of either. 1t is only and in
reality question of tariff reduction. he
compared the expressed views of Presi-
dent Cleveland and Gen. Harrison on this
great question, and proved conclusivelJ
to his hearers the fsllacy Of the republl-
can claim that the democratic party is
advocating free trade. We are confront
ed, as President Cleveland has said, by 9
condition not theory. There is at pres
ent in the vaults of the national treasury
at Washington surplus of over $780,.
600. 200 that cannot be used, and an annu.

DEMOCRACY'S NIGHT.
A Monster Mass Meeting at Har-
per's Theatre.
Hon. n. z. Worthington Delivers an
able and Eloquent speech on the Is
sues Of the day, before Great Audi
enee-A Fine Effort.

1t was proud and gratifying rally
that the local democracy INDUCED in at
Harper's theatre last evening. An out
pouring of people and outburst of ems
thusiasm that augurs well for the success
of the great party whose popularity has in
creased and is increasing constantly,as no
other political organization has in the
same period since the founding of the re-
public. Last nights meeting was the first
important demonstration Rock Island has
had since the opening of the national CAM
paign, and it was notable occasion. 1t
witnessed not only the visit to Rock
Island of one of Illinois most gifted and
brilliant sons, aud the democrscy's most
representative men, but a turning out of
people of all political denomination TO
hear the issues of the day fairly and
thoroughly discussed by one of the best
posted and sblest men of the nation, a
man of national renown as an orator and
statesman-Hon. N. E. Worthington, of
Peoria.
The distinguished guest was met at the
R. I. 6 P. depot on his arrival at Z
o'clock, by Chairman Vinton of the coun
ty committee and other representative
democrats and citizens, and escorted to
the Harper house, where short informal
reception was rendered Mr.. Worthington
prior to going to the theatre. Meanwhile
the Sunny-side campaign club had
marched up Third avenue to Eighteenth
street with Bleuer's band as escort, and
north to Second avenue and thence west
to Harpers theatre. A number of lead
ing democrats, in company with Bleuer's
band then proceeded to the Harper house
where Mr.. Worthington was met and es-
corted to the theatre.
ABIF TURN OUT.
Every available seat in the theatre was
taken when the time arrived for the call
ing of the meeting to order The audi
ence was composed very largely of ladies
1t was a remarkable assemblage, one
occasion of an intellectual treat such al
it was-an audience intent on seeing the
silver tongued orator of ILLINOIS and or
hearing the political issues of the day
honestly and intelligently stated, AM. il
this there was no occasion for dlsappoint
ment.
There were seated on the stage as tn,
curtain arose Chairman G. W. Vinton o
the democratic county committee. Post
master Gould, Of Moline, and Messrs. B
D. Buford Jos H. Kerr, VIM. McEniry
NJ. J. McEnirY, H. E. Cssteel, G. o

man Vinton called the meeting to orde
sudiin few brief but appropriate re
marks introduced the speaker of the even
ing-Mr. Worthington-as man know
to state and nation and one of the de
mocracy's most brilliant advocates.
As Mr.. Worthington stepped forwsr
be was greeted by tumult of applause
He entered without preliminary talk int
the discussion of the questions which al
