ried into every part of the land where
II has not been seeii, ana where IL nus
been kindled ietN ~ be kept brightiy
burning, still showing brighter days Tor
the people, and disclosing the plans ior
insidious foes.
In the wars TO come, when we look
back with patriotic satisfaction upon our
participant ion in the glorious struggle
for tariff reform and recall It's happy
termination, it Will delight us to remein-
Der every incident of discOuragenent
as well as triumph in tho people cause
Then, when we are asked TO speak oi
our proudest political endeavor and to
give the best illustration of American
intelligence and 10 pay the highest
tribute to the judgment of the American
people, we will rehearse the history and
grand result of "The Campaign OF Edu-
cation"
Senator Carlisle, OF Kentucky, fol.
lowed Mr. Cleveland, speaking ON Pop
ular Government"
simplest form is to be found only in the
states. Ii is no evidence of hostility to
the general governmental say II is not as
popular as state governments. IL mas
an important function TO perform and
its powers are as well distributed as
human forethought could design, In
the states legislatures are chosen by the
people and the members are personally
known to them. Real, genuine, Ell
fective popular government in this
country is found only in the states.
There Is great political party in
this country which Is trying to extin-
guish Tree government. The principle
that the majority should rule is the
true foundation OF popular government.
Yet, there Is no rule SO binding or op.
pressive as the rule of the unrestrained
ttt IN Il 4
tiuue to exercise their rights, and forms
of local government must be main
tanned"
W. U. Hensei, of Pennsylvania, dis
cusscd tariff reform at length and, re-
ierring to Cleveland's tariff message of
1887, said 1T ranks with the other three
great executive acts in American his
tory; Jefferson 8 purchase of Louisiana,
Jackson nullitication proclamation and
Ltucoin's emancipation decree.
Congressman Mills, OF Texas, was TO
have spoken to the toast, "Reciprocity,
but was unable to be present.
Congre ssman Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia spoke on "rhe Fifty.second
Congress" He dwelt on the uIunders
OF the present congress- ana said
ii the recent political experience proved
anything, IL Is that the democratic
party never blunders more fatally than
when 1t abandons or falters with Its true
principles, and that 1t never appeals so
strongly to the heart OF the masses or
enthusiasm of the young as when 1t
goes before them on the strength Of
these principles alone.
On the other hand, the republican
party, as dominated to-day never
blunders SO effectively as when II has
free scope and opportunity for the APP
pication ct its principles.
The recent campain was fought upon
the question OF which all great contests
of freedom had been waged-the ques
ton of taxing. The Filty-second con-
gress Will enter upon its labor with one
lesson that none of its members can mis-.
take, and that is, tbut its shortest road
to irrstrie vable bankruptcy will follow
in the footsteps of its predecessor, and
its surest road to popular approval Will
DC to present as clear u contrast as posi-
that predecessor.
Congressman Elect Johnson, of Ohio,
in II speech on "Mckinley's Discovery
declared himself to be an avowed, un-
compromising free trader, absolute, even
q single tax man, democrat OF demo-
Gratis. He warmly eulogized Mr. Cleye-
land, and declared that 30 sure as he
lived Cleveland would oe the next presi-
dent OF the American republic.
A massive silver cup was presen ted to
Mr.. Cleveland, said TO be one of q set
made for Jefferson on behalf OF his ad-
mirers in the thirteen original states.
Governor Boies, OF Iowa, and Governor
Elect Russell, of Massachusetts,, also
spoke.
