From Saturdays Daily.
The Democrats OF Walkerville held a
~rousing, old-iashioned open air meeting last
night. Everybody who could possibly do
SO was present, and enthusiasm ran high.
J.. K. Clark was appointed chairman and
briefly introduced Thomas ID. O'Brien OF
Buffalo. New York, the first speaker who
tanning and fluent talkcr. After the APP
plause which followed his introduction, Mr..
O'Brien spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman, ladies and fellow work.
inemen: In addressing you as workingmen,
only use the prsrogative OF a working
man. as it is ny Intention here this even
iue to speak from a workingman's stand
point and from a workingman's experience,
and now let US reason together. I discard
all flowers OF rhetoric, and come down to
broad principles, and ask you, impartiaIly
and without prejudice, which is the best
interest for Us all and for our own broad
country in this contest. We are all Ameri-
can citizens, interested in our industries,
and we nave a just reason to be proud
that we are American citizens, because,
like the Romans to be an American citizen
is to be asovereign Of the grandest country
that ever the sun shone on. [Applause.]
"Now, my fellow citizens, in this contest
which is 10Y eliminating, upon one side
we nave the great Republican party ap-
pealing for your suffrages, and upon the
other side we have the party Of the people,
the party OF Jefferson, the Democratic
party, also appealing for your suffrages.
1t lays then with you to investigate, as
you are the jurors. It is an important
question that you are called upon to de-
eide; it lie q question that il connected
with your well being and your prosperity
in this state; it is o question upon which
posterity will look back and ask you
whether you have done yeur work nobly
and we'll. Let US ask ourselves,
then, without any more par
ley, What are the issues
pending in this campaign We
find the Republican party, which is now in
power in the nation, standing as the
saviour OF workingmen and for protection
TO American labor and American in
dustries. which is a libel on the face OF it.
We find that the Republican party is o
for the best interests of the masses, in
TACT, it is q party OF caste since it's organ
iaaation. I maintain, fellow citizens, that
since the declaration Of our independence
the Republican party comes before You as
being opposed to American labor,
and it is 9 false and iibellous
assertion Tor it to assert itself as q
friend OF the American workingman. Now
let uus sustain this argument With a few
facts. To-day, the national treasury is
contested with over 500, DOC, 900 OF your
money. That 500, 600, 600 Of money has
been extracted, legally OF otherwise, upon
the false projection, to build up a class OF
aristocracy, OF money lords, monop0lists
and capitalists, whilst labor in several Sec
cions OF our country is debased aud dis.
eliminated against. II you remember, last
campaign, their war cry against the Demo-
traffic party was, that it was a party OF
free trade. Well, the SOL histry OF this
ar0umeut il scarcely worth picking to
pieces, and when it comes before any intel
hpent minded man, any man who reads the
daily press, and / hope this audience here
Eontains people who read both sides OF the
question, it will appear that the Demo.
cratic party is not a party Of Tree trade,
and not determined to degrade and ham
Der tho working classes"
