tonight. Two thousand enthusiastic Re-
publicans filed his lawn. Senator
Fassett made brief response, in which
he said the National Committee had
written its speech in the returns from
nearly every State north of Mason and
Dixon's line. The issue had not been
doubtful since the day when the voice OF
Oregon in the West had echoed from The
hills of Maine in the East. Free trade
would not soon again be forced
into the National campaign. Ithad been
decided by the intelligent voters of the
Union that the National policy should be
that of protection to cur industries and
the preservation of American markets to
the production of American labor. There
were two issues in this State that must
yet be decided-proper restriction of the
liquor traffic and proper protection Of the
ballot.
Fassett deplored the defeat of Warner
Miller, whom he regarded as one of the
noblest ard purest of men, but he was
glorious even in defeat. because he rep.
resented the great principles which would
ultimately triumph.
