the way-Roberr e. wright's speech.
Hon. Robert E. Wright, of Lehigh, the
next speaker, referred to the part Pennsyl-
vania had taken in the creation of the Re-
publican party and said he was informed in
this city, where the Republican party was
born, that this was the largest meeting that
ever turned out in honor of the Democratic
nominees.
The speaker dealt with the rise of bossism
in the State, and following this line touched
up the record of Senator Quay and the
charges under which he was SO silent. He
but he said it mattered not whether they de-
MED these charges or not. The people
looked for something higher; they were not
electing men simply because they could not
prove they were embezzlers or forgers. The
speech was full of sharp hits, and the men
ton of Montooth met with quick and
hearty response.
Late as the hour was, the great crowd did
not propose to miss hearing Hensel, and the
Lancaster statesman was brought forward.
Chairman Watson said often the best sol
diers were kept in the rear until the hard
fighting begun, and presented Mr.. Hensel
as the last speaker.
NO REAR IN ONE ARMY.
Addressing the audience, Hensel said:
ave have no rear in this army. It's all
front and all full of fight" This sentiment
was cheered to the echo. Mr.. Hensel said:

SALT FOR AN OLD SOLDIER.
When was in Crawford county heard of
powerful politician there. yearsago. who nom-
mated candidates for county offices, and the
sure majority elected them. An old soldier,
John Morris, shot to pieces in the seven days
dght," had been nominated for County Treas
urer. This politician sent for Morris and
asked him to pledge himself to deposit
the county funds in the politicians bank.
Morris refused TO maxi pledge that would
compel him to perjure himself in taking the
oath of office The powerful politician had
then proved recrean. to his party and defeated
the crippled soldier. That politician was the
Republican candidate for Governor, George
w. Delamater. (Someone here asked if the
speaker made any charge against the Republi-
can candidate.) Yes, did. l want to make
specific charge that he was guilty of a
misdemeanor under the Contribution. l make
the charge as lawyer, and want to refer it to
Thomas NJ Marshall The charges made by
Emery are true X and z are not myths:
they are flesh and blood and stand ready

suit for libel. The man who said
he had carried the money for Delamater was
a neighbor of the candidate, and he didn't dare
take him into court in Meadville
The enemy may say the Republican paper of
Philadelphia calling on Deamai er to prosecute
Emery for libel or retire was not Republican

Republican papers in Pittsburg any longer

PAID A TRIBUTE TO PATTIsoN.
He paid a tribute to Pattison as the rep
resentative of honest politics and summed
up his record, being frequently interrupted
by applause and conirlnatory CALCULATIONS,
and when he referred to the investigation Of
the soldiers orphans schools, soldiers or
phan, not yet of voting age, started the ap-
plause by hearty hand-clapping. In con-
ciusion he referred to the triumphal tour
through the oil regions, the Western coun-
ties, Westmoreland, Greene and Fayette,
and finally this wonderful demonstration
in Allegheny. Everywhere he had found
every Democratic line fighting front, and
every Republican column shattered and
broken.
The vast assemblage cheered itself hoarse,
but quieted to hear GLORIOUS Old Tom"
Marshall relate another anecdote, after
which it dispersed to comment on the meet
ing on the streets. The comments were all
Of one tenor, that it was one of the biggest
political meetings ever held in this city,
aud that it was only an index to the ava
lanche in November. A good Delamater
man was heard to saw: "If it's like this all
over the State, Delamater is irretrievably
lost"
