party, and the many great things they
had done for the benefit OF the working
man; but when they got up these fell
down with great violence, as they had
no argument to back up their PROPOSE
tions. and could show nothing they had
done for the benefit of the man 80 dearly
loved, as they made laws alone for the
benefit of the wealthy class, producing
scores of millionaires, where there were
but few, and making the condition OF the
workingman poorer every day OF his
life. These assertions they dare not and
could not contradict, as the documents
were on hand to prove the assertions he
had made. He said then perhaps little
change might be beneficial to the crowd,
and little amusement was necessary, as
all speakers did not present in the same
manner the different subjects they spoke
of. He gave a brief history of the
Chinese question, showing the great de-
votion of Ben Harrison to these pig
tailed heather, who were now infesting
this country to the detriment OF
the health and morals of its
citizens, to say nothing of the
immense damage they had done to the
country and it's citizens, introducing
vices and diseases never before known
here. He sung song in the broken
Chinese, representing Chinaman show
ing his devotion to the Republican party,
and how much he loved "Ah Benz for
the laudable stand he had taken in be-
half of the Chinese, which convulsed
the crowd with laughter and was loudly
applauded. The Major then branched out
on the labor question, stating that he
would not touch the tariff, as it
had been ably handled by the
eloquent speaker who had preced-
ed him. He spoke at great length
OF the noted Mr.. Carnegie, who had been
reveling in Europe Tin company with the
great statesman, James 6. Blaine, OF
Maine, the leader and exponent of the
principles of the Republican party upon
the money he had made from the labor
of the workingman under his employ,
whose condition was worse than the
slave who had worked for his master be-
fore the days of the rebellion. He had
house to 60 to with comforts for himself
and family, and if sick was we'll taken

pockets full, enabling him to ride in
his coach and four, take a
long and expensive tour to-
Europe, living upon the luxuries of
the land and enjoying all the blessings OF
life, while the poor laborer whose work
places this man in the condition he is in
is only too glad to get enough from his
earnings to support him, and perhaps as
sist in taking care of his dearly-loved
family. Contrast the positions OF the
two, and take your choice, you working
men. Will you assist the Democratic
party in assisting you to higher and
more elevated position, or will you en-
deavor to put in power again the party
which has shown by its actions (Which
are on record and can be shown if they
dare meet the Democratic orators in
joint discussion) that it is working solely
for the interests of the wealthy class and
allowing the workingman to do the best
he can. The Major said as the hour was
late he would bring his address to close,
although he could speak upon subject
of 30 much importance as this for hours
to come. The audience cried out, GO
on" but after his thanks to his attentive
hearers, he retired, followed by many
heartfelt and hearty rounds of applause.
The orators and candidates were then
escorted to the Hotel Brunswick, where
they retired to enjoy comfortable
snooze and be ready for the mornings
