caos-Gre2t Enthusiasm.
The meeting at the north stand was
called to order by DIR. Obed Harvey, of
Gait. He made short and pointed ad-
dress which vas well received and loudly
applanded.
He introduced as tbe first speaker, Hon.
II. o. Beatty, of the Veteran Club.
Mr. Beatty review, The political situation OF
to-day and said the same issues were before the
people to-day that were at issue in the election
of 1857. The free-trade advocates came near
working the ruin of the county in 1897, and
again in 1857, when all the banks in the country,
with the exception of few in Boston, sus-
peFded payment. Whenever we attempte
ire trade in the past our country has gone 10
the dogs. low tariff ruins the country; we
tried 1t twice, and l don't want TO see it tried
again. The poor man tells you we want high
tariff, but John Bull with tears in his eyes SAYS
have have free ira trade and don't oPgr IS the poor; and
free trade. [Applause.l
SPEECH OF HON, A. & BOOTH.
The next speaker introduced was the
Hon. A 6 Booth, of San Francisco. He
said:
Mr. Chairman ana Felloio Citizens: When pass
hold the beautiful decorations, when | see the
vast throngs of people and realize the purposes
and objects of IL all, l feel and know that the
Republican party still lives i'll all its strength
and vigor. AS a party it has written the no.
blest history of any political organization that
has existed since the history of man began, and
to-day it stands forth in its power, It's might
and its manhood, representing the noble senti
ments of liberty, equality and justice and the
sole exponent OF the grand principle of protec-
ton to American industries and American la
bor Applause.
The Republican party came into power when
every eighth man was slave; it is the party
that preserved our Union from being broken
INTO fragments that maintained the principles
OF liberty and equality throughout our land ;
| that redeemed our nations promise-that its pa
per dollar should be on par with gold that
has ever been the party OF progress and intelli-
gerce, and has projected the interests of the
manufacturer and laborer; and to-day Benja-
min Harrison stands forth Is the representative
| of that party, the choice of Americas freemen
prepared to bear the Republican standard to a
! triumphant victory on Tuesday next. [Ap-
plause.
The one great issue between the two polit-
| lcal parties III this Campaign is that OF pro
| lection or free trade. These matters have been
| considered by the distinguished gentleman that
| has preceded me, and, therefore this is neither
| the time nor the place for me to enter into an
exhaustive discussion of the questions here in
| volved; suffice 1t to say that one of the great
| fundamental principles OF the Republican party,
one that was born with it into its very national
| existence, and one that is engraved upon every
page of its glorious history is that of protection,
| by means OF tariff laws, to the American manu-
| factufer. protecting him from competition with
| the manufactured goods of Europe, and to the
| American laborer, from being brought into com
petition with foreign pauper labor.
While the policy OF the Democratic party is
| prO-English, and tell you We want no British
| iinister telling Americas freemen how to vote
the policy of the Democratic party is in favor
OF breaking down that protective system main.

favor of foreign fabrics, foreign capital anC

In the national platform of the Democratic
party for the present year we fail to find the
noble declarations upon civil service that were
contained in the platform of 1884 and the At,

On the other hand, the symbol of the Repub-

| My friends, victory will perch upon the Re-

! well TO day celebrate General Harrison's cleo
| ton, for victory is assured. Look tor 8 mo-
| ment at the result of the elections that have
| recently been held. Up in Vermont the Repab-
| licans rolled up the grandest majority they have
| hGn for sixteen years. The farmers of the old
| Green Mountain State propose to protect the
| products of their farms from the assaults con
| tanned in the provisions of the Mills bill; and
! in Maine the old iumbermen voted against g.
freetrade policy that would ruin their interests
and rolled up such grand Republican ms
jority that the Senate is entirely and the House
Overwhelmingly Republican. TApplausel Ard
