There were scores of fair women among the
audience, and they were not backward in raising
their clear voices to swell tho choruscs of the
campaign songs that were sung to begulle the
time before the meeting was called to order
When Mr.. BARTLETT and the two speakers came
on the platform they received with
much cheering and the applause was renewed
when the president stepped forward to make his
opening remarks
These were brief, and to the point. The Re-
publican party, he said, was on the eve Of great
victory and was going to pay General Harrison
a debt of over forty years standing because his
grandfather, President Harrison. died when only
a month in Office and, therefore, there was at least
three years and eleven months Of q Presidential
term owing to the family.
SENATOR EvARTS'S ADDRESS.
Mr. Bartlett then introduced Senator Evart,
who was cordially checred He spoke for about
an hour and three-quarters, and was listened to
not only with patience, but with the encouragement
of frequent applause. The principal points that
he made will be found in the following outline of
his address:

strong that 1t might be governed by party that

Of the Democratic party What else IS there for them

pery. and bred in people contentment and repose
No, and yet appeal is made to renew this Admnisra
because the Republican party made the country
great and strong that in four the Democratic
party could not destroy it. (Cheers)
There were two things that thoughtful and
patriotic thought might be brought about by the
substitution OF Democratic for Republican rule One
was they were tired Of having this great Republican
party advance its lines into the Southern States
and 1t would be good thing 10 have this grand old
Democratic party embrace in its ranks the whole country
They even thought they might advance into some Of

WHAT HOPE OF AVOIDING SECTION LINES NOW?
What hope from the election Of next week
except that the Democratic will be again driven en-
tlrely to the South and the North VIII
become entirely Republican for the protection OF its
ndustriesl (Cheers) If we had four years ago
elected our President you would by this time have had
