follow him, for the length Of his speech
and thanks for the close attention paid.
The Opera House band played med
ley in which the air Of "Dixie" was
prominent, and there was little cheer
ing at every recurrence OF the familiar
and musical strains, but only enough to
emphasize to those who have seen re-
cent gatherings OF Democrats in the
south end ofthe State the difference be-
tween the Democrats there and here.
THE GUBERNAToRIAL CANDIDATE.
After music there were loud cries for
Walker and Fleming. Mr.. Handlan in
troduced Judge A. 3. Fleming, OF Fair
mont, Democratic candidate for Cover
nor, who was enthusiastically received.
He expressed hisgratitude for this greet
ing, and made n nice speech, but evi.
IDENTIFY not a spontaneous one. He urged
his hearers not to underestimate the
ability, the strength or the resources Of
their opponents; not to delude them
selves with the idea that victory was
without effort in their grasp. He went
on to express confidence in the result

Then there were cries of Walker, but
Walker did not respond, and shortly il
was suspected that Mr.. Walker was not
on hand. Henever resisted such calls
as those. When it was whispered
about that he had lett, the crowd took
up to cry for Pencleton, and John Q.
came to the front and talked, as he said
in slightly haphazard way.
TIE FIRST DISTRICT JOSHUA.
He explained that there were many
OF the issues which ought to be dis
cussed into which he had not had time
to examine, but he wanted to call atten
ton briefly to some OF the misrepresen
tations, SOME OF the wilful lies, he might
say, OF the Republicans.
He went on in rapid but uncom
monty (for HIM apropos talk, in which
the vampires were not once let loose
though he devoted some attention three
several times to the necessity of twist
ing the British lions tail. Possibly the
vampires have ceased to feed and tat
ten, and the lion is to be starred this
campaign as the feature OF John Oh
menagerie. -,
One of the Republican lies, he said
was that The Mills bill had had the eff
feet OF reducing the price fwool. When
the Republicans were telling you NJ!
over the country that the Mills bill
could not pass, wool sold here at 81
cents, and to-day the lowest price paid
for it in this market is 90 cents. APP.
plause. The wool we import is not wool
that completes with American wool. We
will give the manufacturer free foreign
wool to mix with the American wool
and there will be an increased demand
for home wool, and where there is now
one wooden mill there will be three, and
we will not only hold the American
market, but twist the tail OF the British
lion in the South American markets.
Cheers History shows that under n
low tariff or free wool, the price OF wool
has always been higher in this country
than it was under high tariff,
EIe alluded once or twice to recent
changes Of political faith by manufac-
turers, and said there was not a Demo
cratic manufacturer-not real Demo
crat-who would say that il the Mills
bill were to pass it would result in a re-
duCtion OF the wages OF his employees.
If any pretended Democrat said such a
thing, il was because he had always
been Republican at heart, and never
was worthy Of the name of Democrat,
This was mildly cheered, Postmaster
Simpson again leading in the applause.
In closing Mr.. Pendleton introduced
Mr.. Wood Daley, OF Mineral county.
THE CLOWN OF TIE SHOW.
Mr.. Daley was wildly funny and soon
had the crowd screaming with delight
by such "sourkasm" us this:
am alwars for the under dog in the
fight. propose, with your indulgence,
to plead for the Republican party awhile,
l claim that we Republicans have done
something for the country. We took
the tax Off OF big incomes, because we
knew it was the horny handed sons Of
toll who felt this burden. We took the
income tax off OF checks, because we
knew you workingmen used the checks,
And now we propose to take the tax of
whisky and tahaGco.
Come with me to New York. See yon
ship. What has she? Cheap shawls
cheap dress goods, cheap stockings, fol
the American working people. Very
well you can land them when you pay
fifty, sixty, seventy and in some cases
eighty dollars on the 500 worth Of
them. Andwhat is that? That is Pro.
lection to American labor. rCheers.l
Here is another ship. What has she
Diamonds. Well, you may land them
upon paying $40 instead OF $50 on the
500 worth. And what is that? That is
Protection to American industries
Laughter
But see; here comes third ship. We
will hail her master: "What have you
aboard?" ~ have thousand Italian
laborers going to Pennsylvania to take
the places OF American miners who
banded together to demand OF their EN-,
ployes living wages" Gan right, YOU
can land them Free" Wild cheers.
Mr.. Daley continued his demagogiC
but entertaining talk, and the crowd
continued its applause and laughter, till
nearly II o'clock, when with a few
words emphasizing Judge Jennings
warning against over confidence, he
closed eloquently with a happy indidual
who wore a red badge standing beside
him and patting him on the shoulder,
When Mr.. Daley retired amid laugh
Ter and applause, this man undertook to
make a speech, saying he had brother
in-law killed in the United States army
and the family had been trying to get a
pension ever since, but could not be-
cause he was Democrat. The confusion
then became great, and Mr.. Handian in.
duced the volunteer orator to take back
seat.
Another man with a red badge under
took to make speech, but was drowned
out by the confusion and cries Of "sit
down" =
REVOLUTIONS.
