e. G Bradford Speaks.
Mr.. Hastings was followed by E. G.
Bradford, who spoke as follows:
The Republican party has no apology
to make in this campaign II is the
party Of constitutional reform and good
government and can point with pride to
the record it has made in this state The
Republican party is welded to the doc
trine that the first and highest duty is
to secure the welfare Of its own citizens,
by protection to American industries
giving living American wages. and keep
ing steady home markets. We repel with
Indignation the charge made that manu-
facturers are robbers because they seek
and accept protection that they may give
remunerative wages to their employees
That man Is an enemy to his city and the
workingmen, who expressly or by in
nuendo brings this charge against the
manufacturers of this city
Something was recently said about
the manhood Of the Demoratc party.
Where can be found in the Democratic
party to day the moral courage to de.
nounce the assessment and collection
laws that have disfranchised thousands
of voters. Where is the manhood that
makes Democratic minority run like a
lot OF Legislative bushwhackers from the
halls OF Congress every time a vote is to
be called, and gallop into the lobby,
No. oWry a 4.
wheels Of legislation. Worthy repre-.
sentatives Of the illustrious Jefferson.
II such be the manhood OF the Demo
cratic party, God save this state from
such political leprosy. gladly admit
that In the Democratic party there are
good AID manly men, but never desire to
hear the cry of manhood attached TO it
u as party. But ar talking under
limited.
1.-THE Republican party is the party Of
constitutional reform, and Ia solamnly
pledged to calling a constitutional con-
vention, The Democratic party is Cd
posed to calling a convention. They
promise to do so, but their promises are
cheap. The Republican party has shown
It's faith by its works. The Republican
one. Two years ago the House passed a
measure for a constitutional convention
IL was killed by a Democratic Senate
Every man nominated by the Republican
party is pronounced friend of consti.
tn tional reform, while the Democratic
party has rewarded its men who were IN
favor OF convention by leaving them at
home"

Bird Dances the can-can.
The great attraction Of the evening
had been held off by the chairman until
this time, and amid the cheers of an
admiring multitude, Levi O Bird, the

When the Republican party Is thoroughly
aroused II will carry the election by

be governor and that every man on the
Legislative ticket will be elected.
Talk about the tariff on tin plate |
There has been enough money stolen in |
this county to give every working man a |
,srt-load Of tin cups and a car load of |
dinner buckets. There has been enough |
money uncollected by collectors from |
Democrats to give every man set OF |
