He then introduced
JUDGE W. F. FITZGERALD,
Whose remarks seemed to please the
crowd immensely at times. Judge Fitz-
gerald commenced by saying: This en-
thusiastic and magnificent demonstration
is tremendous and loud showing OF the
approval of the people OF the great work
just completed at Chicago. 1t is splen-
did tribute, one well merited to one of
the most distinguished statesmen of
American history. 1t is also a rousing
and blood-curdling declaration, to the
Democrats, of continued devotion to
the grand principles which made the Re-
publican party what it s,one OF enlight-
eminent and reform. The gathering of
the Republican hosts with all the pomp,
is grand and indicates that there is a
grand campaign ahead fraught
with great importance to the in
dustries of the country. A cam
paign which will shake the country
up as never before, from ocean to ocean
and from British possessions to the Gulf
OF Mexico, and right here let me say
that the tide has set in for the Republi-
can victory of next November, and it is
as resistless as the mountain current
which springs forth and rushes onward
to the ocean with resistless impetus.
The speaker told what the Republican
party proclaimed and what it promised
to the soldiers and to all grades OF people
from the laborer up. He found flaws in
the Democratic administration from a
Republican standpoint and asked his
auditors to wait until the 4th of March,
when change might be made in the
occupancy of the White House. The
candidate placed before the people by the
Chicago Convention he proclaimed were
profound statesmen, and would, il
elected, administer the affairs of the
Nation in such a manner as would again
inspire confidence in the Republican
party.
"TLree cheers for Fitzgerald" was the
cry from the audience as he closed.
Colonel Otis then stepped to the front
with four large-sheets of white paper COW
cred with long telegram relative to re-
joicings in San Francisco, but he evi-
IDENTIFY had not read the lines before, and
by the time he had finished the half of
the second sheet he became aware that
the account of the ratification there was
more likely to throw cold water on the
little enthusiasm there was in the audi
ence than to inspire m ore, and he wisely
folded up the paper and tucked it in his
pocket.
Music by quartette had been an
nounced, but the quartette did not ma
terialize, and it was rumored that they
had reserved their voices for the Orc
Fino reception later in the evening. The
band, however, filed in the gap before
GEN. H. H. BoYcE
Was introduced. The newly-created
General opened his remarks with: Mr..
President, Ladies and Gentlemen, and
members of the Orc Fino Club.
whats the matter with the rest Of
us?" said q voice in the crowd. (No
reply.)
Without the loss of breath General
Boyce continued by comparing the
Democratic party to mole. This
was felt to be happy compari-
son, for he said the mole had
we'll known habit of doing thing be-
cause it had done it before. This re-
mark applied in particular to the election
OF 1884 and that of 1888, to come. The
Republican party had been thrashed in
1884, but this was because a man named
Burchard had raised the cry of Rum,
Romanism and Rebellion" The Demo-
cratic party thought its victory laid in
the three RS, and now since they had
been changed to "Rats, Roosters and
Red d-bandanas' the victory was sure to
rest with the Republicans. The speaker
praised the nation for its natural re-
sources, its great men and great events,
and said they were all due to the man.
agement of the government un
der the Republican party.
He warned his hearers that
the Democratic party sought to destroy
the prospects of the nation by its free
trade policy, and closed by saying that
the American labor element would carry
the party forward to success.
