Grnhd--sir. rondieton's High E.timntlon
8 of MIR. Pendicton. IE'
Probably nearly thousand people
were In tho Grand Opera House Satur.
day evening. They were mainly drawn
by curiosity TO hear Senator Grady, OF
New York, but John o. Pendlelon wise.
ly spoke first 80 that the crowd would
not dee while he talked. Ns
Tho speakers wera escorted to tho halt
by the Young Mems Democratic Club,
and arrived u little late. Republicans
"intruded" 10 good number in spite OF
the Registers discourteous reference to
thc"uninyited presence" Of Republicans
Friday night.
Hon. Edward Robertson, tho man
who was "done up" by pendleton for
State Senate several years since, pre-.
sided. Mr.. Peudleton was received with
applause. lie spoke about two hours,
to tho great diagus. Of the crowd who
had come to hear Grady. Some very
uncompli.rentary remarks were made
about pend!eton. Oae boy remarked:
"ue makes me tired he talks too much
about himself" A Democrat said he
counted eleven rs, mes and myoeli's in
thirty words Of The fpeech. Ills speech
was II tedious aud weak harrAngue. He
opened with the elegant remark !:
"iouug Mr.. Pendleton Is here,
where Is old Mother Hubbard9 The
Last | heard Of him no was In cup.
board down in Braxton. Colonel Hat
aud Gen. Joseph Brady have sent G.
Wesley Atkinson aud Capt. Doyener
after him. But tho people say 1t will
take two such resurrection angels a
thousand years to resurrect him" lie
made his game old tariff speech, re-.
matkable mainly for misconceptions
and Inconsistencies, aud then went into
the mailer Of bis contest, referring fro.
quently TO the lNTELLlGENCRG. lie said
Mr.. Hubbard was now shaking hands
with the workirgmen, bu. II was
always ,heir friend. There never was
time workiugnan need hesitate to
approach mo or to shake hands with
me-" .-4
The Republicans OF the First district,
he aaid, have nominated for Congress a
representative OF every monopoly in the
district. The annual increase in wealth
il due to the tariff tax, and it ia divided
only among the few, owing to an artiG.
cial system OF taxation. Before tho Nc.
kinley bill was passed $40 was the tax
on every SlC0 worth Of foreign impor.a.
ton, aud now 1t Is $50 Oh every 500.
lie renewed his prophecy rs to Grover
Clevelanh's election, but he put in an al.
Tentative for the benefit OF Cover.
nor Hill. Ho Dragged "a usual of his
record" in Congress and Of tho way he
had wiped up the earth with Hubbard
in joint debates. = :
After I'sndleton finished his peculiar
address, Ex Senator Grady, known in
New York as "the pride Of tho Fourth
ward" and."the man with silver tin on
his tongue was introduced. lie was
heartily greeted, and waded ut once into
a TRADE OF abuse Of Wanamaker and
other Republicans. His arguments"
were more dcmagosic than anything
heard in Wheeling for many day.
While he was simply exhibiting his clio.
cutionary ability, he was frequently ap.
planded, but when he struck the kew
note OF his speech there was Geath.like
stiffness over the audience, and chilli.
ness 60 thick it felt like a food Of ice
water poured into the hall. Ho said:
There Is absolutely no protection for
labor and should be none. The best
protection for labor is free trade in the
open markets OF the world n
This break vas received with such
coldness that he FASTENED to try and
changs.Ee impression, but it ives hard
work. He had made the iraukest avowal
Of the Democratic doctrine ever heard
here, and the audience was paralyzed
with astonishment.
His remarks on the tariff were charac.
terizsd by gross Ignorance and deliberate
uniairness. He met with a second cold
reception when he took up tunbler
sad iilystrated bis views with it. He
would lesya the CONSUMES to buy the
imported tumbler at the lowest price he
could, without regard 10 the difference
here and abroad in wages. That nat
urally did not tickle the fancy OF local
g!esswoikera in the audience.
he read palt OF the bogus list Of prices
in ,ais country apa abroad OF articles
made here. This list has often baen
proven to be false. It can be ascertained
10 be false by any fair man who will in
quire Of hardware dealers hero. Some
of the articles named in that list can be
bought IN Wheeling, at retail, at prices
much below those I1mad in this cam
paien document as the wholesale prices
in this country.
Voters should take the list as repeat.
cdly printed in the Register land in
quire OF dealers, Garden rakes are
made in Wheeling in large numbers.
The manufacturer here does not get a
price nearly so large es that given in the
bogus list as the price prevailing abroad,
Voters can also ascertain this to be true
if they doubtit.
Mr.. GIady's speech, especially his
open advocacy of free trade, did the De-
mocracy harm. Ifthey will bring more
such orators here the Republican Com
mittee can afford To nav their sxnareao
