send a representative to the nahonSl leg
stature with the message that he is a free
man. Things have come to this pass un-
der the leadership of Quay. the agent of
protected ~monopoIists. Reed at the bid
of this new party, throttled discussion of
measures of deep interest to every citi-
zen. Within the shadow of his throne
there is no free speech.
Next came the force bill, a measure to
take from the people the right to rule
themselves. What e~xigency demanded
such a law. Was there likelihood of war
or invasion? Why this bill? 1t was the
dastardly work OF this new party, a plan
to perpetuate it. But the people rebelled
against this u~surpation OF their inalienable
rights. Confronting this fTightful piece
OF legislation they were no longer Repub-
licans or Democrats, but citizens fighting
for a common cause. Judge Carey, the
idol of his party ID the state, is an able
man, and should be sent to the senate if
the Republicans win, but with all his
eloquence he cannot vindieate the in
famous measures thrust upon congress BY
this plutocratic third party.
Where was the force bill concocted? At
a convention of the people or their chosen
representatives? No. At festal board
in Philadelphia. Around the table sat
only beneficiarcies Of the protective tariff.
The want to keep big import taxes in force
forever that they may get richer and he
poor poorer. Clay and Hamilton regarded
the tariff as but temporary. In his letter
of acceptance Benjamin Harrison said the
tariff should be reformed. They are re-
fJrming it by increasing it. This robbery
is the work OF Quay and Reed with the
new party behind them. What was an
expediency they declare a principle. This
high tariff has generated a power that is
absolutely without thought of the people.
This power has a lobby that dictates to
congress and il Republicans go on to
Washington for Wyoming they will be
wheeled into line. They will uphold this
thing which has been enrichIog a few
men for twenty five years. Republican
orators shout that the country is becom-
ing wealthy. Yes, but how is it distrib-
uted? Where does the money come
from2 The labor of the poor man creates
it and the protected monopolist adds it to
that already in his Golfers.
No party should claim the favoritism OF
the women of this state. All know the
history of the movement. God endowed
them with a fine and noble sense Of JUS
tIce, with the power of discriminating be-
tween right and wrong. They will bring
up on the side of right and stand for fair
ness and truth.
As to his own candidacy, Judge Har-
vey said he had been made the mark for
utilization and vituperative SANDER.

whelps get after a man it is pretty good

of Warrcn's sheep and other scabby

Chinese. Also how he called out the
soldiers to shoot citizens all to blazes.
Geo. w. Baxter was very happily pre-
sented by the chairman. For nearly FIVE
minutes he was ~applauded and cheered.
Mr., Baxter has worked early and late for
a month, but was vigorous as usual. He
said it was tbe first time during the can
vass he had the pleasure of addressing his
t~ownspeople. as he had deferred to the
wishes of the committee in commencing
in another part of the state.
Mr.. Baxter told of Colin Hun

sions and of Judge Carey's insulting de-
clinatlon and blatant threat to overwhelm
the Democratic party. Then the judge re-
considered his decision and tho speaker

of an ancedote related of a mountaineer of

traction. One evening he noticed some
apparently live object in a tree near his
cabin. The splendid old gaint brought
