ViTKiniAuG. Renewed cheers
Gen. Gof said be was glad to see so
large Q crowd here, and he was glad to be
here. He regretted that he had not been
present day earlier; not that II was not
as pleasant to-day, bat after the conven.

cheers and Mr.. Hubbard loud oheeEingl
to Prof.. Jones [tumultuous spplause, long
continued there could be little left for
him to say. He llkened himself to Ruth,
cleaning after the reapers, but said had
the reapeI0 in those days respsd 40 close.
ly az have the speakers Of yesterday, poor
Ruth would have found little TO reward
her foil.
Bot, the General continued, It Is always
in ordor to talk while about the grand
old principles OF the Republican party.
Applause he paid the Democratic
masses q high compliment for their hon.
esty and sincerity, and held up to view
the folly Of abusing the opposition.
WHAT THIS MEANS.
The presence Of these delegates here,
their interest in the proceedings and the
speeches, are indicative OF the fact and
fully demonstrate that we are soon to re-
place the soldiers in rank and that the
party that saved this nation Is again to be
entrusted with the reins Of government.
Cheers.
It means, my friends, an uprising among
the people and that the people themselves
are going TO be up and acting when they
realize that danger Ia abroad in the land,
and that something must be done in order
that prosperity will greet Us in the future
as It has done in the past. Applause.
Now, am not one OF those who believe
that we can have g victory in NoVem Der
next unless we work. It Ia no easy JOB.
Our friends, the enemy, are strongly en-
trenched in power. They have the Ma.
tiouRI Government, they have the State
Government, and we are never going to
dislodge them unless We organize, unless
We disseminate the true doctrine OF repub-
licRnism throughout this State and Nation,
and you will never do that by mere talk In
conventions. You must go among and
meet your people in your own counties
and districts, and speak to the men who
are to cast their ballots in November next.
You will never do 1t by passing around or
passing through. I never believed that
all the good men are in the Repub'
lican party, but I believe that there
arc as Rs good men as God over let live in
the Republican party.
But the Democratic party has also good
man; they have good lesdern, they have
the advantage Of power, II may 80 speak,
and they have possession and are not
going to yield it now until We have des-
perate tussle.
THE WAY TO WIN,
Remember, you have them by your
doors, you have them in your midst, they
are here with US to-day, we want to
consult their interest and argue with
them and state fully the facts as best we
can, and get them interested. You want
to 90 into your school districts and talk to
them, and when you have gone there,
mark what say: You will find that your
Democratic friends have gone before.
Did you ever notice that II the Republi.
can party ever inaugurated anything
good the Democratic party always follows ?
You arc going to find Democratic clubs
all over West Virginia.
am glad we have honorable competi.
ton. We will be ready at the crossroads
and blacksmith shops to talk to our
friends, and we want to make II q COM
mon duty at all these places to acquaint
them with tho facts so they might use
them in their club organizations and con.
ventions, and let us appeal to the people.
We have two or three things to talk about
when we thus go before the people.
THE TARIFF.
When wac coming out from Washing

please, and believe 1t don't lie in your
mouth to call me to account for II" Ap.
plause,1 And told him why. I wankto
remind you Of the fact TINT this testimony
we have must be gospel truth for the
Democrats Of my State. l wont to call
your attention to tho sad affairs in this
state--that he who supports the proteC.
tive tariff idea is not in sccord with the |
great Executive in Washington, and Is not |
in accord with the Presidential Magistrate
Of the United Statea In tbs matter Of free |
trade and tariff. Applause.
When my Democratic brother tells you \
that there ia no reason to fear, that 1t ia q |
false alarm, Grover Cleveland says that
the only issue that 10 worthy OF oonsiderG-
ton is tho question OF free trade or protec.
tive tariff. Applsuse'l Well, l don't
exactly believe that, because l think there
are other great matters worthy Of con.
sideraion. Nevertherthsless he has 90
spoken. / believe you don't hear any
party unanimously for protective tariff.
am In favor Of high protective taritf.
Cheers I don't care who differs with
me in that. would not change for all
the friendship have or all the votes OF
this nation! Cheers and voiced, "Thst's

THE RIGHT THEORY.
He complimentsd the wisdom OF the
Fathers when they founded the iussitu-
tions Of this country; when they ordain-
ed protective tariff; and said that the
men who in 1861, invented the Southern
policy and enacted that no protective
tariff should ever DO passed, were wrong.
l believe that the frat Fresident OF the
Republic, the immortal George Washing-
ton, wss right when he signed the act
passed by the frat Congress establishing q
protective tariff. believe that our latest
Democratic President and hopeto God he
will be the last loud applausel was wrong,
and II is q shameful disgrace that he uses
the power OF bis high office to destroy
that protective law. believe in the the.
ory Of coloniztng the West, In the theories
Of Henry Clay, the fRvorite son Of the
South, and not in the theory Of the pres
emit leader Of that section, John G. Oar.
Isle. believe In the doctrine OF Sumner,
