! who made one OF his pleasing addresses
! His remarks were eloquent and interest.
4 ing, He spoke in substance as follows
u Fellow Democrats: / notice in looking
| at my watch that the time is coming when
| the Mahoning county Democrats must
leave you, and as there are at least hall
| dozen Democrats yet to Rpeak who are
far more eminent than / am, | will not
leave you in a doubtful state as to the
length of time shall speak. AS to the
| doubtful states l consider the doubtful
| states Indiana in the west and Connect
l cut in the east, and was about to say
| New York but will leave that unsaid, as
| when great New York let forth her voice
| in 1891 she spoke for 1892 and whether
J Grover Cleveland, the great and magnifi-
! cent, he who once sat in the chair of state
| shall lead us on, or whether some other
leader shall marshal us in 1892 she ia
| stricken from the list of doubtful states,
Whether Mckinley or Blaine lead the pro-
lection forces against the leader of the
past or Boise, or Campbell, New York is
safe and the fight will be in Indiana and
Connecticut. II the fight OF 1890 indicate
anything political, II points as surely as
the writing on the wall to the fact that the
Republicans have been weighed in the
balance and found wanting. While there
may be doubtful states this year, next
year there will be none.
"THE ISSUES OF '92"
Hon. S. d. Dodge an able and eloquent
speaker ofCleveland, was nextintroduced
and made a most pleasing address. lie
is a gentleman of more than ordinary
ability and his remarks will be remember
ed as one of the most agreeable features
Of the evening. He said: feel like ex-
pressing to the club my gratitude for
being here tonight and assure you that
appreciate the compliment, l feel like
congratulating the club because il has
rallied almost before the smoke of battle
has cleared away. You stand ready to let
your voices ring out as bold and defiant
as ever against the unjust taxation that
has been fastened on the nation. Your
organization says to the nation that you
believe what the message of 1887 said
about the tariff, was just and right, you
endorse the message OF Grover Cleveland,
Mckinley says that the tariff question
is settled and that further agitation is
wrong. 1t will be settled, Mr.. Mckinley,
only when your bill which fastens upon
the nation the most barbarous policy, is
stricken from the statute books and in its
place is law passed by a Democratic
House Of Representatives, and Demo
cratic Senate, and approved by Demo
cratic President. 1t will not be settled
until the workinRmen get twelve months
work year. 1t will not be settled until
new industries are established and not
established by dedicating portion of the
laborer's salary. These high priests of
protection burne d incense on the altar of
free trade, when they asked for recipro-
city, There will be no peace Mr.. Blaine
until we have reciprocity with every
nation on Gods footBtool. Then we will
have peace accompanied by her sister
plenty, for those who toll in the factory
or on the farm. The issue is to lift the
burden off the people and make the
- 4 n a a -.
monopolist. The Democratic ship Is full
rgged and ready for action and when the
contest comes, all the guns will be point
ed toward the enemy. Who the master
OF the ship will be, we are not wise enough
10 say.
MR.. ATLEE POMERENE
was introduced as one of the youngest
Romans of them all and made speech
that would have reflected great credit on
"The Old Romann were it not that the
subject treated of that distinguished gen
tleman. His remarks were able and elo-
quent. He said: at is fitting as loyal
Democrats that we should commemorate
the anniversary of that message, which
struck terror in the hearts of the monopo-
lists. .It is fitting that while we are singing
the praises of Grover Cleveland, we should
remember the noblest Roman of them all,
who by his power of intellect, breadth of
learning, ,eloquence of tongue, keenness OF
logic and patriotic devotion to the inter
ests of the people, gathered the hosts of
Democracy, drew them up In battle array,
increasing his strength as he went along,
until the Democrats outnumbered their
opponents half million, and seated a
Democrat in the Presidential chair at
Washington. We should not forget the
man that made Il possible for that mess
age to be uttered.
