Hon. A. A. Ames. DR.. Ames came to
the front amid a storm of ap-
plause. He thanked the people of
Saltwater for the cordial reception
accorded him. He said the Republican
papers had said Doc Ames would not be
heard from this fall. He did not intend
to sulk in his tent. He was going to
fire few hot shot into the enemy's
rank this fall. He would teach these
prevaricators that they did not know
Doc AmeS. Grover Cleveland had
given the country live issue. Four
fifths of the revenue from protection
went into the pockets of the protected.
Protection means burdensOme taxation.
We mean to reduce the tariff and to re-
lieve' the country from the burden of
excessive taxation. We only want to
reduce the tariff to the point which
President Arthur recommended, The
protectiOniStS have controlled congress
for the past twenty years. They con-
troll it now. They have placed upon the
people unnecessary taxation. 1t is rob
berry of the people and they want relief
from this burden. The election of
Grover Cleveland has healed the breach
between the North and South. The
rebel war debt has not been paid.
Rebel soldiers have not been pensioned.
We have had three and one-half years
of the most prosperous govern
ment the country has ever seen.
Those fellows who stood In the
rear during the war and built up fort
unes by furnishing supplies at. their
own figures, have contributed to the
trusts and monOpolies which are now
burdening the people. | believe that
the rank and file of both parties is Sc
cure. 1t is the demagogues that are
corrupt. Cleveland has declared that
public Office is public trust. 1t has
been so since his administration. | am
in sympathy with the laboring classes.
They constitute four-fifthS of the pobu-
IatiOn of the United States. 1t is they
who are being robbed. 1t is they who
should govern this country. When they
become better fitted by education Ito
rule this country they will take
matters in their own hands, where they
should be. am friend to organized
labor. | would advise that all great
questions arising between capital and
labor be decided by arbitration. have
been asked what | propose to do re-
garding candidates. shall say to you:
Place good men in nomination and vote
for them. Vote for Democrats and elect
them. Make it principle to nominate
good men, and make it principle that
they must be honest and capable. Elect
Democrats and you will elect good men.
DIR. AmeS was warmly cheered upon re-
firing, and was followed by d. b..
johnson, who made an eloquent
plea for the whole Democratic ticket,
and especially Wilson and Rice. His
explanation of the fallacieS of the tariff
was particularly well made, and was
frequently interrupted by cheers. Mr..
johnson was followed by w. p. Muir
ray, of ST. Paul. who spoke briefly for
Rice. who, he said, was the peer of any
of his associates in congress. The dem
onstration was q success from first to
last, and will be followed Monday night
next by the closing and greatest meet
ing of the campaign.
