MR.. VOORHEES, SPEECH.
He Attacks the Republican Party at Every
Point.

Point.
My FELLow-CITIZENs-I propose tonight to
show that the history of the republican party.
the subject of taxation, is the history of pre-
meditated, organized crime against the labor
ing people of the United States. It's policies
of finance and of revenue for more than a quar-
ter of a century appear now to the candid OBJ
server as a vast, well-planned, methodical con-
spiracy for the establishment, the growth, and
the permanent power of grasping and oppres-
sive monopoly, of arrogant corporation wealth;
of idle, untaxed, interest-eating, usurious capt.
tai and of all the enormous profits and aristo-
cratic pretensions and privileges incident TO
such an un-American system. On the one hand,
this system has by law enabled the privileged
few 20 rear, from the sweat and tears of toll
not their own, palaces of marble fit for dukes,
earls, kings and emperors; to exploit their
massive millions in the great world OF show
and parade on both sides of the ocean; to array
themselves more gorgeously than the birds of
the tropics, radiant and flashing with diamonds,
and with jewels more costly than those OF
crowned heads; to strut up and down the stage
of life in imperial velvet and purple, and TO
fare every day upon the choicest delicacies af-
forded by the earth and sea, served by gilded
iveries, on plates of solid silver and gold. Who
fails TO recognize the absolute, naked, and
daily reality Of this picture OF meretricious
splendor bastard social eminence and corrupt
ing political power2 On the other hand, the
future historian will record the fact that
regal Injuries enjoyed by the favor
ties Of unwholesome and vicious leg-
station, have been created, sustained and
continued to this hour by the republican party,
at the expense of every one who does manual
labor by land or by sea; OF all such as create
values and make the trade and commerce Of
the world of the mechanic, the skilled laborer,
the factory hand, the intelligent and intrepid
forces in the machine shops and in charge Of
the rolling wealth and power of the railroads;
and also at the expense Of every farmer, Of
every tiller of the soil. Of every plowman who
homeward Plods his weary way at nightfall, and
OF every industrious and productive class
sheltered by the American flag. Every move
ment in the machinery of government set in
motion by republican leaders and managers
has been 10 swell and bloat the gains Of the
rich and 10 increase the burdens OF the poor;
70 deprive labor of its honest reward and to re-
duce the industrial classes on the farms, in the
workshops and in the mines, 10 the estate aud
condition of serfs paying tribute TO their IA
ps>ious masters. If these statements appear
extreme, and as II made for mere partisan eff
feet, let me refresh your recollections with the
facts of history which establish their absolute
truth.

TARIFF EXTORTION.
How the Republican Party Has Encouraged
wholesale Robbery.


At this point, however, turn to another
branch OF the widespread and allpervading
conspiracy of the republican party to establish
its co-conspirators, the monopolists of every
hue and description, in permanent power over
the industrial masses, endowed with all the
privileges and wealth OF titled aristocracy,
end relieved of every burden for the support of
the government. The tariff at this time is the
foremost subject for political discussion in
every healthy American mind. Now and then,
it is true, some one with disorded wits, haunted
by nightmare dream that the Southern con-
federacy still exists, that the war is not yet
ended, and who was never any nearer the war
than in a dream, or in suffers camp, breaks
out in defamation against the personal loyalty
of Mcclellan and Hancock, and of every other
democrat in the United States; but such in
stances Of wanton malice and exasperated i'm
becility are rare, and public opinion has
promptly tarred and feathered the most con-
spicuOus of them with its supreme contempt.
Such as these will not disturb, by their clamOr,
the great issue of this campaign, nor stand in
the way OF its full aud fearless discussion.
The history Of taxation under the tariff as
devised and enacted by the republican party,
is pregnant with meaning and warning TO all
the productive industries of the country. IL is
the history of prompt, vigilant, and progressive
avarice, discovering and seizing every opening
for the advancement of its forces, and for the
accumulation OF It's gains. The recorded facts
sustain this assertion. Let us turn to them. In
the closing hours of the Thiriy-sixth congress,
in March, 1861, Immediately after the senators
and members from the South had vacated their
seats, the high protective measure known
Morrill, tariff became a law, and laid such rates
OF duty on imports, and afforded the manufac-
turer such bounties, as were never heard of be-
fore in American legislation. This was the be-
ginning OF war taxes, and no one supposed
then that more would be required. The ire
mendous nature Of the conflict, however, which
ensued called upon the government TO put
forth its utmost energies, and to place its hands
on every resource OF revenue within its reach.

and state tickets There is but little doubt
that large accessions will be made from
the republican ranks and no defec-
tons from the democratic army is heard of.
A tremendously large meeting heard
Senator Voorhees, open the campaign in
western Indiana, IN this city tonight.
The large wigwam, which is capable OF
holding over 5000 people, was packed TO
suffocation and as many again stood on
the outside, with all ears bent, to hear
what they. could from the lips of the elo-
quent Indianian. There was not single
inch of vacant space. The parade, which
preceded the meeting, was a revelation.
II was under the command of Grand
Marshal A. g. Austin and twelve mounted
assistants. There were at least 1000 per-
sons in line, preceded by the Cleveland
escort and the Cleveland flambeaux corps.
In line was a delegation of 40 voters
from Marshall, H., with plug hats and
busters. A large number of transpar.
encies, with notices bearing largely upon
Harrison's railroad tariff and Chinese
record, were carried by the various dele
cations. A feature of the parade was the
Cleveland and Thurman railroad club,
which turned out in large numbers be-
hind a banner declaring that they re-
membered Harrisons attitude toward
their brethren in 1877. AS the procession
moved through the streets there
were scenes of the greatest enthusiasm
among thespectators that packed the side
walks, there being an almost continuous
volley of cheers. There was also very
creditable display of fireworks. On acL
count of the immense crowd it was some
time before order could be restored. Many
ladies and prominent citizens occupied
seats upon the platform. City Treasurer
James Fitzpatrick, chairman of the county
committee, called the vast audience to or
der and introduced A. J. Gibbons as per-
manent chairman. Mr.. Gibbons is presi-
dent of the railroad club, and has never
before taken any part in politics. After
several songs by the Mendelssohn quar-
tette, Senator Voorhees, was introduced
When he arose there was a great scene of
enthusiasm. the audience rising and Civ
him great ovation. He was in his best
form, and frequently aroused the great
audience to wild enthusiasm. The meet
ing was one of the largest ever held in
western Indiana, and certainly one OF the
most successful and enthusiastic. In
point of numbers it exceeded the remark
