Dr.. j. L. Windolph, of Darlington, called the
meeting to order and introduced the speakers, the
first of whom was Hon. Herman Stump.
Col Stump expressed his thanks for being hon.
ored by election and his congratulations that
Maryland has been redeemed. Seven Republican
States he said, have elected Democratic Cover
nOrS, and the next Senate will have only four Re-
publican majority, being the Senators from rotten
borough States brought in by the Republicans
to enable them to continue IN power. The
next House will contain more Northern Demo-
Gratis than Northern Republicans.
This is victory of the people and it will enure
to the benefit of the people How about Quay?"
some one in the crowd asked.
Quey has made for us the next President, replied
Col. Stump, and that will be Cleveland. When
Quay retired from public life, day before yester-
day, he said that the laboring man and the farmer
are responsible for the overthrow OF the Republi-
can party. and that is true. This has been an up
rising of the American people and 1t shows that
they to be trusted at all times TO protect their
liberties and their rights.
Heed will still have sway in the House of Repre-
sentatives for the neXtfou or five months. AT the
end OF that time he will take an humble seat along

whole American people.
of 40 men, fresh from the people, who have been
informed that excessive taxation must cease, and
knowing their duty they will perform it.
Cleveland left surplus of one hundred million
dollars in the treasury which belonged TO the peo
pie. That has been squandered under Harrison IN
six months and to-day there is a deficit in the
treasury. Cleveland advocated the Democratic
doctrine that no more should be eXacted from the
people than is necessary for an economical admis-
istration of the government This, he commended,
should be raised by tax upon the Importation OF /
Injuries and not upon the necessities OF the peo-
pie. The campaign was successfully fought on
this issue. The Republican doctrine was that tic
surplus must be reduced, but reduced by placil.
the entire burden on the consumer.
Col Stump showed that the Mckinley tariff took
out of the pockets OF farmers and laboring men
large sums which went to manufacturers and the
latter contributed largely to the Republican fund
to continue the unjust system. The Mckinley
tariff, he also showed, adds TO the cost of living
to such an extent as to compel every laboring man
give at least one weeks work i'll year to meet the
additional expense OF living.
The Republicans knowing they would lose in the
West, got up the Force Bill to capture Republican
congressman in the South and thereby continue
the high tariff.
l thank you with full heart, concluded Col.
Stump for this expression of your feelings-not TO
me- especially but it is the expression of your de-
termination that the doctrines of Grover Cleveland
shall triumph and shall be administered by him..
Every allusion to Mr.. Cleveland was heartily
CHI eered.
Col Stump was followed by Col. VIM. Young,
Geo. Y. Maynadier. Walter w. Preston. Jacob III.
Plowman and Jefferson Dallam, all of whom made
excellent speeches and aroused Democratic enthu-
siasm 10 the highest pitch.
Mr.. VIM. 7. Demoss, sterling Democrat of EN-
norton is entitled to the credit of arranging the
the affair and having it carried out successfully
