ties and asking which they would choose
was heartily cheered. Let the ballot bt
cast in such way that you will feel salts
fed. If the south can be solid in bad
cause can't the north be solid in good
cause? A solid north will break up the
solid south. Demonstrate in Kansas the
tide of Republicanism runs as high as !,
ever did for free ballot and fair count
The senator was heartily cheered at the
close.
Col n. NJ. Rogers, of Washington, sang
"Scott and the Veteran" Sword OF Bun

for me-" He sang with remarkable effect
and was cheered to the echo many times.
He was highly complimented by all.
Tim McCarty, auditor of state, was in
troduced and after few happy remarks
stated the leading question OF the day was
the tariff The enemies who are seek the
industrial life to-day are the same ones
who fought it in 61 to rs. No one had
reason to doubt Englands sincerity in be-
Geving free trade would benefit her. Eng
land had always been the enemy
of the United States. Could not
understand how any American could vote

Hishead has all run into his pants" Prior

more independent and coming over to the
Republican party. 1t is needless to say
Mr.. McCarty received his share of the ap-
plause.
Mr. A. J. Felt, candidate for lieutenant
governor. was introduced and stated that
he had never seen Wichita In broad day
light. He complimented the meeting for
It's enthusiasm and numbers. Was glad
that the Republican party marched under
but one flag. The Democrats at one
time had attempted TO steal the
very ground on which Wichita is
located to breed mules and slaves. He
thought all could well be thankful for Re
publican victory at that time.
This year it is question whether Great
Britain shall rule us or we shall rule our
selves "Truly 10 inducement for young
man to vote the Democratic ticket This
was followed by a single yell leading out
and very soon Joined by oil. The speaker
said schools and churches made Republ1-
cans The Republican boys are going to
vote this year. The Democratic boys voted
four years ago This idea was greeted
with hearty cheers. The speaker thought
Republican boys would not vote
for the man who never had
a patriotic feeling instead of for man
who offered his life to save our country.
He compared Morton's public deeds with
those OF A. G. Thurman.
The speaker said Wichita was looked up
on with great interest in the state cam
paign 1t had been stated that the Re
publicans of the southwest had left the
party but he did not believe it.
Cleveland's free trade message had put
brake on commercial enterprises. He
thought that message had cost Wichita
not less than a million dollars.
Mr. j. j. Hamlin, who voted for Tip
pecanoe" stated he had voted for one Har
rison and intended to vote for another,
who would also be elected. He
was heartily cheered and followed by the
Lotus club and as the band played the i'm
mense crowd dispersed.
The Lotus club gave another Republican
selection which was followed by three
rousing cheers for the national, state and
county tickets. The meeting was an I'M
bounded success and the Republicans will
refer to it for years as being great Re
publican day. All were enthusiastic and
went home determined TO work harder
than ever for the Republican cause in
Sedgwick county.

SPEECH BY JUDGE WALL.
So crowded and densely packed was the |
opera house that hundreds of people were |
compelled to remain outside. So Judge !
Wall was called upon to speak to them. 1t |
was estimated that over 5000 people gath
cred around his carriage in the middle of |
the street and listened TO his brilliant adj
dress. After few words of introduction
he said:
1t is your reason and your judgment to
which shall address myself tonight; not
to your passions and prejudices. / believe
that there is radical difference between
the two great parties; that it has always
been SO: and that at no time since the tri-
umph of the Republican party in 1850 has
that difference been so marked as now No
man who has read the history of the coun-

vent of the Republican party to power
was a triumph for the cause of union, con-

prosperity to the people of our beloved
land. For many reasons which hope to
be able to assign | believe that the future
prosperity of the people and the continued
growth and development of our country
demands the return to power of the Re

cries of rebellion, and when that was set

1865, that the mission of the Republican
party has been accomplished. 1t seems
20 me that such talk is the very personifi-
cation OF nonsense. Does any man believe
that il requires any higher order of differ
ent quality of craftsmanship to deal with
he question of peace than that of such n
rebellion as confronted this nation in
1860?
Upon all great questions of state which
have concerned us as a nation since the
birth of the Republican party. and which
have been determined and settled by its
craftsmanship. Democracy has been wrong,
