The Democratic advocate., 1888-10-13

as IL Is, we are met with the cry oil Tree trade,
and attempts to frighten voters are made.
Mr.. Mansur was frequently applauded.
DISCUSSING THE CONTENTS OF THE BASKETS.
The speaking began at 11.30 A. NJ. and
continued until 80 o'clock, when the speak
ers and others became the guests of Mr.. Brown
at his county seat, ''Spring6eld,n half mile
away. Another dinner was served by the
citizens of Sykesville in the shady chestnut
grove where the speaking took place. The
crowd made l 200 pounds of beef and fifteen
barrels of bread and two or three bushels oi
pickles disappear. Others sought their car
riages, where well-6lled hampers await them.
DANCING on THE PLATFORM.
In the meantime there was a sound oil
music in the canvas tent in the grove, and
there beautiful bellies and gallant beaux pass
ed the noon hour in dancing, resuming the
pastime upon the close of the speaking in the
afternoon and continuing it far into the night.
The speaking was resumed shortly after 8
o'clock and closed at s. At night there was
more speaking by Mr.. C. II. Carter and Capt.
j. J. Fenton, of Baltimore, and many of the
most striking cartoons from Puck were thrown
upon big white canvas in the grove, much
to the delight of the many persons who re-
mained after nightfall.
THE SPEAKING RESUMED.
After dinner Senator Butler, of South Car
olina was presented and was greeted with
rousing cheers. He began by saying that
Maryland hospitality was known throughout
the length and breadth of the land, and to- day
he had partaken of it, and he could say the
half had not been told. Passing to the issues
of the campaign, he said there is to- day in
the treasury OF the United States $120, ,000, 900
of surplus, after liberal expenditure for the
support of the government. The disposition
of this surplus is to be settled at the ballot
box in November. Unless the people put a
stop to this, the corruption which it will pro-
duce will undermine the institutions of this
country. The Republicans tell you it is the
importer who pays the tariff duties. But if
you go to the American manufacturer, he
marks his goods nearly up to the figures
placed upon the foreign article. If bounty
must be paid, why not give them to the farmer
for every head of cattle he raises, or for the
cotton or the grain he produces? Why is it
that under protective tariff farm products
have fallen in value? The farmers have been
impoverished to protect these favored classes.
The Republican tariff bill strikes at sugar and
rice because they are Southern products.
They say cruelty the South, because we pay
our taxes, and usually vote the Democratic
ticket"
CONGRESSMAN ALIENS SPEECH.
Congressman Allen, of Mississippi, follow
ed Senator Butler. Mr.. Allen has vein of
humor in him that cannot be restrained, yet
he is gentleman of strong ability and made
a telling speech. Every chief point of his
address was illustrated and enforced by an
amusing and laughable story, and from be-
ginning to close he kept the audience in an
almost continuous roar of laughter He
made most excellent speech, and was
heartily applauded.
CONGRESSMAN HEMPHILLs S SPEECH.
Mr.. Hemphill was the next speaker, but he
did not make an extended speech. He hap
PLY and in racy manner sketched the issues
upon which the great parties are now divided,
and was warmly applauded.
SENIOR GoRMAN's REMARKS
Senator German was greeted with prolonged
cheers. He said ~ well remember, not
over 25 years ago, when our counties were
under the harshest iron rule that was ever
known to tyrannical government, that we
owed much to the ladies, do not give the
men any special credit for their democracy.
1t is due to the noble women of Carroll, Fred
erick and Howard counties. The great ques.
tions have been well argued by the represen-
tatives of the Democratic party. 1t is not
necessary for me to tell you why you should
sustain the administration of Grover Cleve-
land | see the determination in your faces
to sustain him. The party in power has said
the American people are paying one hundred
million dollars more in taxes than is necessa-
ry. We may differ as to details, but upon
the great issues of reduced taxation and re-
duced expenditures, there is no difference.
He who says there should be more taxation
and more expenditure is robber. Can we
win? What of the hour? 1t is not unnatural
that you should be anxious. / have heard that
there is anxiety because of local differences
in New York, as they have existed in every
presidential canvass since the war. | have
been over the grounds some, and | will stake
my political reputation that we are in 25 per
cent better shape than we were in 1884
GCheers. The mayoralty will not affect the
result. Do not mistake. This is a great
struggle. There is not great trust or com.
bination but has poured out its capital to help
elect Harrison. The States of New York,
Indiana, Connecticut and New Jersey are the
fields of contest Who can doubt Maryland ?
No district is in doubt but the sixth, and that
can be redeemed. | want to see Maryland
show her patriotism and do her duty at home
and to her Democratic brothers in other
States. She has been faithful before, and
will not be found wanting now." Cheers. ]
Mr.. German shortened his speech because
the afternoon train was about to leave for
Baltimore.
The speeches were sandwiched with popu-
lar songs by Mr.. Thos. F. McNulty, of Balti-
more, and his listeners cheered him long and
Justify, and music by the several bands.
Among the songs sung were: ''The Red
Bandana,'' u ''We'll Do 1t Up Brown ''La-
Dor VS.. Monopoly" "The Ghost of Jim
James Gillespie Little Rock Hlaine," "Wave
Your Randanas on That" "The Standard of
Democracy and "Grover Nine"

was that of Mr.. Edward Lynch, of Westmin-

There were representatives present from
each district in both counties, and it was the

all were bountifully fed. The ladies and
gentlemen were untiring in their efforts and
everybody left the grove in the best humor.
