The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1890-10-15

We take the following extracts from
speech made by Hon. William A. Wal
lace, the great Democratic leader in this
State, in Philadelphia on Saturday night
last, and commend thefn to the careful
perusal Of Republicans OF there be any
who think of voting against the candi-
dates of their own party. 1t is very OBJ
yious from the dfift of these remarks
that Mr.. Wallace hopes to succeed by
party drill and party fealtg of bis own
friends, aided by Republican votes. His
exhortatior 10 his Democratic brethren
10 accept the candidates of the party and
its platform, to submit TO organization
end discipline, to bow to party rule ard
to stand by the ticket, makes excellent
reading for Republican voters. Mr..
Wallace is a clesr-headed, shrewd,
practical politician, and the whole aim
and object Of his speech is 10 encourage
bis partisans TO stand firmly by their
own candidates, with the hope and ex-
pectation that enough Republicans viii
70 over to their camp, and thus ensure
them a victory. Said Mr.. Wallace:
