Ths truth would not be told II It were
stated that the Opera HonBo on 5Alur-
day night last was any thing else than
literally tsmmed with DemoorAts,
though 81 d ,moorAt at our elbow re-
mArkej, there were lots OF RepublloAns
there too Every niohe OF standing
room and the window ledRes were oson-
pied. In numbers the meeting WAS q
great euooaha, in enthu BiAsm for free
trade o partial success, In applause for
the witty remarks OF Senator Vance,
the main speaker OF The evst ing, the
audience laughed and then laughed
again and again ct the relation Of
''down gouf" negro anecdotes tlpctared
strongly OF profanity, the latter being
DeoeesAry to give them . strong polRt.
Ths aadioros was highly respectable
and Apprectatlve. Democracy had
started of on . new track, requiring
new Arguments aud the people evl
dently wanted 70 knoW all about them

vAlB appropriate music. The entrance
Of Secretary BAyard, Senator Vance
and Hon. Charles B Lore was the sig
nal for long continued overture Of
olapping and stamping. Secretary OF
the Young Mems Democratic Club
Horace o johnson thea went through
the tedious operation OF announcing
Hon. Charles b Lore No PRESIDENT OF
the meeting, about 100 vice presidents
and 1S secretaries to cGnduot the meet
ing and record the proceedings Qllte
. large number OF the vice pTeBioents,
especially those down the county, were
snoring Ia their beds instead nf being
present to applaud Senator VAnos in
bis strong "strike out" for free trade.
President Lore was very happy In his
eloquent and appropriate Introduction
Of Senator Vance TO the Audieuce, and
vas very profuse In his praise OF the
'Old North State" that sent such pro-
found and brilliant statesmen into the
halls Of legislation, bat Mr., Lore did
nos Intimate that there WAS come dan

iiAl eleotioa. While Mr.. Lore had 90
mADy pleasant things 10 say of North
Carolina, Senator Vance and the grand
old Democratic party, rs usual be
seemed to be oblivious to the fact that
this WAS . contest between pTotsotion
and free trade.
After sha introduction and applause
were over, 6euator Vance launched on.
tntO q witty aud pleasant address, which
lasted two hours ana ten minutes, the
AudIenoe enjoying the address without
showing any signs Of uneasiness or de.
bire 10 leave the hall.
Mr.. Vance, after few pleasant intro.
duotory rem Arks, referred at onos 10 the
prophecies OF the Republican party
that there would be no work for the
working people, the wheels OF induptry
would BE- atopped and grass would grow
upon the streets Of commerce. AT the
close OF four years OF Democratic rule
under GrovvT Cleveland hs would ask
II there ever hsd been better times; the
people are busy at their work, the
wheels Of industry have not stopped
and the streets Of oonmeIes are not
gIovn over With grass.
Mr.. Vsnoe then related the imprison-
ment OF Paul and silAs In the prison,
/ the shaking of the prison walls, the
falling OF the chains from the fetIeIed
limbs of the prisoners, tho terror Of the
tailor who rushed 10 to gee II the pris.
oners had escaped, and the reply oi
Paul; mo thyBeif no harm, We are ell
here" IGTeAt applause ~ am htrei
you are mere; the StAta OF Delaware IL
here; what ia wrong? Has any ruin
oveTtaken and fallen upon our peoplt2 2
Would to God that more oalamities had
fallen upon . certain portion Of them.
Many q bArnaole and robber has come
10 ruin since the Democratic parry hal
been placed at the head Of the govern
ment and driven out the thieves and
robbers. Many an old dead beat who
fhitened upon the PpoilH OF cities, hal
been brought to gF.et
The only regret Jhat 1 have Is thAf
President Cleveland LETT single one o.
them In office. There has not been nj
industry Injured By tho change Of TIT
sdInIniBtFAtion. We are all hero and
for the first time We ooms tcg3thsr Il
digcuss something else besides war ant
destruction. Down In our country WI
have row . obbnce to retain ltttli
eR th under our feet and TO become &c
Quainted with q little bit Of the oivili
zRtion Of the sge.
Mr.. Vance then went into Rn eEple
nation of taxation. When l make
dollar and put 1t In my pocket, wht
can take that dollar from mt? Nobo1S
but the government in which we live
and thEt government has no right Il
take from me meIe than what 1t need
tn carry on that government, AID II !
takes moro than It needs 1t bfo1me
tyIrAnioAl. Il thould be go adjusted
that those who are best able should pay
the most ard those least able should
pay lesE.
10 rh,w that the contrary was the
case, Mr.. Vance then thoWed the rove
nue. of the Government amounted 10 30,
0G0 Oo0 q month, or $40 Goa, 600 year
ard there we're now in the TfeAturI
Sl4O, ,0o0, 200 DOT needed to tarry on the
Government, and 1t sill EemRinS there
In spite OF all that has been doue TO re-
move IL. The Republicans ray that tht
Democratic party ls TO blame for this
In 4 great measure this Is trae, for Il
the Republicans had access TO 1t there
wouldn't have been dollar LETT. How
shall this revenue bs fedneedn Mr
Vance thought the best way to reduoE
was 10 go to work aud reduce. Eytn
Bsn Hsrrisou, . grandson of old VII
liam Fl 4, and who they say is running
for the Presidency but hasn't struck 8
run yet, has ventUTed no opinion set oi
how Ia should bs reduced. he say!
there should be o vile aud proper re-
duotion, bat he dOern't know how tC
do It; and he COULDN'T do IL without
plsolng himself upon the Democratic
platform. That he will not do, AND
Gol knows We don't want him. Il
