NO KicKEns IN REPUBLICAN RANKS.
Fellow citizens, II we nominate goot
lawyer to-day, We will elect him as sur,
as fate; and know OF no court on eartl
that needs two or three good lawyers OF
It's bench as badly as our Supreme Cour
Of Appeals. We have a united party
What We most need now Is earnest, eau
did, individual effort. We have nc
kickers in our ranks. Windy Wilson aut
the Harr.Carr Legislature knocked at
the kicking out ofus. Loud applause.
This year tho honest voters OF West
Virginia will resent ,as far aB they can, tho
Infamous treatment heaped upon them
by those law.breakers and Constitution
ha.efs, and In 1892 they will complete
the job by burying the whole gang Of
them 30 deep that no trnmpet:tonyue
can ever resurrect them. [Applause.]
Pardon me, my fellow citizens, for a
moments atlusion 10 the platform
adopted by the Democratic State conven.
ton OF last week. My old and distin.
guishcd friend, the Hon. Henry G.
Davis, was there, and was Chairman OF
the Platform Committee. But be it said
to his credit, although the Chairman OF
Committee, he did not wti.a the hog.
wash it contained, and he had too much
seltrespect to read it before tho conyen-
lion. They, therefore, had TO call upon
the friend Of my boyhood, tho Hon.
George Washington Tippett, from the
town OF the late lamented Cornstalk.
They knew that although Brother Tip
pett held within his bosom a ponderous
heart, yet his gall was bigger than his
heart, and SO they called upon him to
read it. [Laughter.] 1t, among other
things, denounced the concentration Of
wealth and the combination OF trusts.
Heavens and ear.h Think Of eX-Sena.
tors Davis and Camden talking about
trusts. Loud app!ause.] Brother Tip
pett, like myself, who only owns one
suit OF clothes at time-he and | can
howl about trusts and mouopolies, hut
the two distinguished ex-Senators should
build a stone wall forty feet thick be-
tween themselves and tha. Grafton plat
form. Applause.
THE ONLY CURE.
Senator Davis, when he refused to
read that blood and thunder platform,
was in tho condition Of tho Irishman
whose wife was afflicted with an incur.
able disease. The physician informed
him that there was only one remedy,
and that was TO send her Immediately to
warmer climate. Whereupon the
kind hearted Irishman ran out into the
yard, procured m axe, and returning 10
tho room handed it to the physician
remarking, doctor, here, take the axe
and hit her, haven't got the heart to
doit myself" Langhter.l The Senator
procured the axe to break the head OF
the Mckinley bill that has already
made him rich, and will yet make him
richer, but he didn't have the heart 10
use it himself. [Applause.] -,
Fellow citizens, listen tu this resolu-
ton:

lions the sinews Of war may be supplied with

yirgiDla md elsewhere 10 purchase votes and
corrupt the ballot hox) and thus pc.petua,e
Republican mlsrule."
Shades Of julius Cesar, deliver usl
Think Of Henry G. Davis denouncing
protection. He knows aa well as Won
that he would never have built mile OF
West Virginia railroad, or mined
bushel Of West Virginia coal, were it not
for the principle laid down and fully
carried out in the Mckinley tariff bill.
which he 30 vigorously denounced in
the Grafton platform.
Think also, my fellow citizans, OF men
who claim to be decent and honest aud
fair and just standing up in, q public
convention and indorsing such iniamies
as the robbing Of Governor Golf OF a
seat to which the people had elected
him, and placing their seal upon Will
sons Tive" proclamation, the Welzel
county ticket scratching, and leaving an
entire county out OF the returns 30 US to
be able to certify the election OF those
Democrats to Congress whom the people
refused to elect. [Applause.l But l
cannot dwell longer here. -
WHAT CONGRESS HAS DONE.
My friends, there never was Con-
eress that has done more for the Ameri.
can people, and passed as many dis.inc.
tive American measures as the House OF
Representatives OF the Fiisy.Grst Con-
gress, which is presided over by Thomas
B. Reed, the second Blaine from the
State Of Maine. [Applause.] Call
Speaker Reed what you may, lie is the
biggest man, except Mr.. Blaine, that
ever filled the Speakers chair. Ap.
plause He is big in body, big in brain,
biz in energy, big in courage, big in Re.
publicanism, and big in opposition to
the methods rcaortel to by Democratic
managers to prevent u Republican ad.
ministration from enacting aud eniorc.
ing measures that will necessarily bury
the Democratic party out Of sight for.
ever. Applause. f
The present House Of Representatives
has passed tho Mckinley Tariff Bill--.s
bill gotten up exclusively Tor American
manufacturers and American labor. It
is vigorously opposed by the Cobden
Club, by all the English newspapers, by
all English manufacturers, by all Eug.
itsh exporters aud American importers,
and by the Democratic politicians OF
this country, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. The American Congress, this
year, is not legislating in the interest OF
foreigners, importers, or the Democratic
party. 1t is laboring exclusively for
Americans, and asks no clemency either
from foreigners Or Democrats. Tap
plause
1t has passed the silver bill, whic!,
directs the purchase OF 100000 ounces
