At the close OF Mr.. Dorney's speech
Chairman Rochester read q lengthy dispatch
from T. &. Grisfitts, congratulating him on
the success he expected next Tuesday
Mr.. Rochester then introduced Mr.. w. II
Thompson
REJorsDKE nY Mr.. THoxrsox.
Mr.. Thompson made speech partly in
answer to Dorney's arguments. He said
that the great Democratic land grants were
given TO the states by the government and
not to the railroads. He lauded Seattle
and the other coast cities and explained the
fact that our prosperity was due to the
commercial facilities. lie called at
tention to the great falling of in the Amcri
can navy and blamed the protective tariff
for that state Of affairs. The Republican
party received the whole stigma at his
hands for bringing the Chinese TO our
country and for passing the Infamous
contract labor bili'' in the United States
congress in 1864. He read extracts from
the tariff laws TO show that the rich man
had TO pay very small per cent. of the
tariff and the poor man . very large pei
cent.
Mr.. Thompson Is an eloquent man and
he wandered all over the political field in
his remarks. His speech was heartily APP
plauded as were Mr.. Dorney's aud, Mr.
Lewis.
