CLEAR CUT ISSUE.
The first speaker of the evening was
Congressman Horr, of Michigan. He was
received with applause, and the applause
was increased when he said: " | came to
you from the far West simply for the pur-
pose of saying to you people of the East
| that we intend to join hands with YOU in
| redeeming the United States Of America"
Continuing, he said: Il sat as a delegate
in the Convention at Chicago, and although
it did not select the man | favored, it did
its work fairly and well. The platform
gives US the clear cut issue of protection to
| the industries Of America The Issue has
been narrowed down to the question as to
which can better manage this nation, the
| Republican clubs of this country or the
Golden Club of England"
AT this point General Sherman entered
and was quietly taking his seat in
box when he was perceived by the audience
and greeted with cheers that continued for
several minutes.
Il am glad to belong to a party that
honors its heroes" said Rorr. England"
he said again taking up the thread of his
subject, turned against US when we were
in the middle of a difficulty that arose
from the slavery question, but we made her
pay for it afterwards. When wenominated
our ticket Great Britain had no cheers for
u.s."
In the course of his remarks he said:
By the Mills bill the Democrats propose
to abolish the tariff on wool NV State
produces 100000 pounds of wool an
nually, and if wool were introduced free of
duty, the woolen industry in our State
would beruined. Yet they tell us they have
got Michigan"
Colonel Ingersoll was conspicuous among
the prominent Republicans on the STAGE,
A telegram from Depew expressing re-
gret at his inability to be present, was then
read
INGERsoLL TO THE FRONT.
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll was then in
troduced and was warmly greeted. He
said When a Presidential! candidate is
put up most people always claim that they
were with him from the start Generally
they claim that they discovered him. They
are anxious to be with the procession. /
will be frank with you, and say | was not
working for the successful ticket in this
instance, but there is something in Ameri-
can blood which bows to the will of the
majority, so that when the Convention was
through all were for the ticket, heart and
SOUL
Colonel Ingersoll then reviewed the
work of the Convention and platform. Re-
terring to the protection plank, he said Il
Will tell you why | am in favor of it, |
want this republic substantially independ-
ent of the rest of the world | want this
country so 1t can live if al war with the
whole world. The man who raises raw
material only is eternally poor. The far
mer who raises wheat is always Door be-
cause be only gets one profit, and that is gem
orally loss. The farmer who raises wheat,
pork, beef and horses makes e second or
third profit, and gets rich. The country
which grows raw material will grow poor
while the country to which he sells it, and
which manufactures it into fabrics and
sells them back to it again will grow rich.
Just to the extent that you mix mind and
muscle you give value. The South raises
cotton and sells it. Just so long as the
South does this it will be poor and Demo-
cratic. | am for protection because it
Will enable us to raise greater men.
How little, after all, the laboring man re-
ceives for his work. r. Even under pro-
tSStiOb, eolu d iHdL III tue gallery. 1eS,
even under protection. But let me ask
you this, my Democratic friend" answered
the speaker: =" If the laboring man is not
PAID better here than abroad, why do we
not find American workingmen immigrat-
ing to Europe?"
This reply was greeted with the loudest
cheering OF the evening, men in all parts
OF the house joining in the applause that
followed it,
SOME HOME THRUsTs.
If England gets her goods in here free
she will soon become the richest empire on
the globe, and We will become nobodies.
TIE Democrats point to the lands given
away by the Republican party, but thew do
not tell US of the good uses made of the
iancs thus granted in establishing connec-
ton throughout The nation. They point to
the lands they have taken back, bat thew
do not tell you they were recovered under
provisions put in the grants for that yery
purpose"
