evening was decidedly a g. O.. p. evening.
Never before has there gathered in Bis
marck such a large audience to listen to
political speeches as congregated last even
ing to listen to Messrs. Plummer and Tay-
lor. Every seat was filled and a hundred
or more stood up. Mr.. Spencer vas obliged
to take the 8 O'Clock train in order to make
connections for a Monday night engage
ment and therefore did not appear last
evening. Harvey Harris presided and in
trOduced Col. Plummer as the first speaker.
The colonel was not feeling we'll and did
not attempt a regular speech. However,
he talked long enough to pay a just tribute
to the old pioneers and to the republican
nominees OF the state ticket, several of
whom are representative of that element.
Hc pictured the refrigeration of the demo-
cratic party and the advancement of the
republican patty; how the republican par

ocratic party was always tagging behind.
party and show to the nation that North
Dakota is in line and full sympathy with
the progressive spirit of the day.
Col. E. s. Taylor of Chicago followed in
one OF the SmOOtheSt and most convincing
political talks it has been the good fortune
of Bismarckers to listen to. Mr.. Taylor is
eloquent and practical and carries his au-
dience with him in his argument. He dis
cuSsed the tariff because the democrats see
fit to bring it into discussion, notwith-
standing the fact that the question is set
tied for at least six years-or until the
complexion of the senate changes, which
cannot be for five or six years. He pic

ton over tariff for revenue Only-as advo-
Gated by the democrats. He cOntrasted the
condition OF Ireland to-day with her condl-
ton before England drove her industries
out and babe her raise raw material only.
He explained the advantages of having a
home market for our products and protec-
ton of our industries against the cheap la
Dor of Europe. He commended for the dig
nifty of labor and said that in no country
wa the condition of labor 80 satisfactory
as in protected America. He reviewed the
work Of a republican congress and re.
viewed the history Of the parties-the re.
publicans representing the front wheels of
that always follow after but never lead.
He contended that those who were howl
ing about the Mckinley bill-at least two
thirds of 'em-had never read it. He adj
vised the people of North Dakota to make
no mistake during this campaign,
and anything. but rousing
republican majority would be a mistake.
He opposed the democrats for many rea-
sons: one being that they were always
kicking about something-always pulling
down what genius and enterprise had
built. The northern democrat may be
ever so honest, but the fact remains that it
is absolutely impossible for him to do
right when the bulk of the party-the con.
trolling element--reside in the south.
The speech was frequently applauded
and was not all all tedious. Mr.. Taylor is
an excellent talker, and last evenings pro-
gramme was a treat of unusual import
ance.
