rendered Judge Fleming in the House of
His Friends.
As the lsst cheer died away at the close
of Col. Fellows eloquent peroration the
sgnsl was given for demonstration sur
passing anything that had occurred in the
day bsfore. A single voice raised the c'y
for Fleming. Ia moment it was caught
10 by II olsands. 1t swelled into an en-
thusiSshc demand for our GubaInatorial
candidate, and it refused to bs s'l.nced
Judge Fleming appeared on the balcony,
and the great audience ftirIy went wild
with ell thusiasm. 1t is safe to say that
never has gubernatcrial candidste in this
State received such reception at the
bands OF his admirers. Again and agsin
he essayed 10 speak, and some enthusiastic
voice would drown his words with call
for ct eers, that would te given ard re-
peatei until the billsIdss rang and
rang again with the applause. When
at last he could make himself
hearI, Judge Fleming attempted TO ex-
cuse bins elf, stating that he had already
made one address during the day and
hoped he would ro5 be called on for an
other But the audience would not accept
no. The cry again went up, and it WIS
plain that it was impossible to refuse
longer.
Judge Fleming stated that he woul !
add few sentences to the address that ne
had made in the morning. He had told
them that the Democratic party was
not q free trade parry, and ne wished to
emphasize that fact. The Democratic
rarity occupies, he said, the true and only
safe position for the friends of protection.
II this tariff was kept at TIE extreme rate
the r. publican party proposed, there was
danger that unprott cted intere ,ts woul1 be
forced to the ooposits extreme, and the
ruin Of the entire pr ,tec.iye system would
be the rssul'. / say that if free trade
ever does come in this country, it will
be not because the DemccrItic party sdvo.
Gates that doctrine, but because the Re
publican pirty forces tariff rates mp 90
high, that tie farmers Of the land are
drivSn to that extreme by the necessity OF
self-prsservstion. Cheers Judge Flen'
