showing plainly how it would benefit
the interests of all classes, the working
men particularly. He also handled very
ably the condition of the Republican
party, and the stand they have taken on
the tariff question showing that their
great love for the workingman was very
much like the beautiful soap bub-
BILE thrown out by the school boy and
floating in the air, beautiful in it's
splendor when reflected upon by the sun,
and large in size, but when touched is
found to be empty and falls all to picess.
He presented his claims to the people
for the oficeshe is running, and said if
elevated to that position he would make
it his duty to present to the Assembly
among his first bills one to give the
supervisors of the county the power to
handle the assessor of the county and
prevent him from committing the out-
RACES he had done upon the citizens of
it for the last two years, forcing them to
pay the immense taxation they had for
the last two years. and the amount the
county had to pay to the State being
nearly one-seventh of the whole State
tax, which was an outrage. He retired
amid hearty round of applause.
The chairman then presented Mr..
Orfila, quite a young man, but a giant
in eloquence. He addressed the audi
ence In the Spanish language, but as
your correspondent unfortunately does
not understand the language, did not get
the whole gist of his speech, however
judging from the great applause he re-
ceived, is confident his speech was q
telling one. He complimented the
ladies very highly, as I OCCASION
ally caught the words eefioras and
seforitas and know from their smiling
countenances and applause of the sefiors
they were well received. He descanted
at quite length upon our National and
county candidates, presenting their
merits, and requesting his friends to
stand up to them and use their utmost
endeavors to elect the whole ticket as
presented.
Judge A. Buch was then introduced to
the meeting, and in fine manner
presented the claims of the Democratic
party, giving history of it, from it's ad-
vent up to the present time. He spoke
OF the messages of the President, the
mastery style in which they were writ
ten and the independent manner in
which they were sent forth, showing how
great statesman we have at the head of
the Democratic Party. He also spoke at
great length of Allen G. Thurman, his
record and the noble manner he has
advocated the claims of the Democratic
party ever since he has represented
them in the National Congress. His
stand upon the Chinese question, and all
matters pertaining to the interest of the
people. He then gave brief sketch of
Harrison's record, showing at every
point that he was identified exclusively
with the monopolists, aristocrats, and
wealthy men of the country, and against
the interest of the workingmen, and the
men who are the bone and
sinew of the country. He told
the people to take the re-
cords Of these people, contrast them i'm
partially and honestly, and reflect at
length upon the men who were presented
to them to choose from, and elevate to
the positions that are OF so great interest
to the whole country. Your own welfare
This is no small matter, reflect, and con-
poor mans friend, the peoples friend,
the friend of the interests of the country,
or will you choose the man and party
that has never worked for your interest,
but that alone that makes the rich man
richer, and the poor men poorer. 1t is
with you, be careful, the whole interest
of the United States is at stake, and the
9th day of November will decide it. If
the Democratic party goes in, you are
safe, your interest is theirs. If the Re-
publican party, their record is before
you, choose for yourselves. The Judge
spoke at quite length, enchanting the
audience who were before him on the
subject of the tariff, contrasting
the duties on articles for the poor
man, farmer, mechanic &C., and
those for the rich men, commenting upon
the benefits received by each class, and
how they had been legislated for since
the advent of the Republican party.
Judging from the con gratulations he re-
ceived, and the remarks made to him,
there were several converts in the
crowd. One good, honest old gentleman
I noticed particularly, who walked up to
him and said: "Sir, l have learned
something from your speech that never
knew before, and shall vote
with you; your explanations have
opened my eyes," The crowd was
large and attentive and appeared very
we'll pleased with the speeches. The
Palms is handsome little place, beauti-
fully situated, and bids fair to be quite a
town from the Improvements that are
going on. The streets are handsomely
laid out, and the residences show fine
architectural beauty. Their new school
house is very handsome one, and
would be an ornament to any city.
shall long remember the pleasant even
ing just passed in "The Palms." q.
Republican shortcomings.

amusing to witness our Republican
