Upon taking the chair, Col. Stump spoke of
the pleasure he felt in returning to his native
land, after short absence in Europe. He pre-
dicted that the rights of freemen will triumph
in this election and that Cleveland and Steven
son will be elected Referring to Mr.. Talbot,
Col Stump said he had been tried and proven
to be true and there can be no doubt as to how
he would vote when Democratic principles are
at stake He therefore urged every friend of
his to support Mr.. Talbot. The same issues
said Col. Stump, are before the country now
as In 1890, and we will have the same tidal
wave of victory for Democratic principles and
for the American republic. He then intro
duced Hon. }. +. C. Talbot.
MIR. TALBoTr's SPEECH.
Mr.. Talbot said the Second Congressional
district was the best country on the face of
the earth and any man might feel proud to
represent such country and such people. He
said he believed Cleveland is going to be elect
ed In 1884, when Cleveland was elected,
bankers and merchants said the Democrats
could not manage the country-that the bank
ing system would be Overthrown and business
derangcd. Even the colOred man WAS made to
believe he would be sent back to slavery. None
of these things happened under Mr.. Clevc-
out and Cleveland gave us such Il good admin
straton that he was renominated. With re-
gard to Mr. Cleveland's tarif-refOrm message,
Mr. Talbot remarked that while he did not at
the time approve it he was now convinced that
Cleveland was right. Mr.. Cleveland was crit
iCZed by the Republicans for recommending a
reduction of the tariff, but in this had only
done what Republican Presidents before him
had done. President Grant in message to
Congress, had recommended a revision OF the
tariff.
Is any Republican willing to say he was IL
free-tradcr! Mr.. Talbot said the last yea and
nav vote he cast in Congress was to place Cen
Grant on the retired list with full pay, and he
so voted in recognition of his kindness to Gen.
Lee at AppOmattox.
tariff should be adjusted every year so us to
get as much money As was needed for the ex-
penses of the government and no more. No
man can say Garfield was Il free-truder. Pres
idcnt Arthur also called the attention of Con-
gress and the people OF the country To the fact
that money was pouring into the treasury and
relief in tariff taxation was demanded. He was
not free-trader
Mr. Talbot said above all other people he
admired Il Republican farmer who can DELHI
erately walk up to the polls year after year
and vote to rob and plumber himself by means
of the protective tariff With all his labor-sav-
ing appliances the farmer can scarcely make
both ends meet. Mr.. Talbot then said: My
Republican farmer friend, if you have been
doing this thing, stand up and let me look at
you"
Mr. Samuel Matthews Lee, a wcll-known Re
publican farmer of the Third district, who was
listening nttentively to Mr.. Talbot, immedi-
ately arose and the audience broke into wild
cheers for Mr.. Lees pluck. Mr.. Talbot was
taken somewhat aback by the prompt response
to his request, but recovering himself he bow
ed his acknowledgements to Mr.. Lee and re-
sumed his speech.
Mr. Talbot showed that American manu-
factulers are selling Oliver chilled plows i'll
Canada for SO while they charge Hartford
farmers S940 for them. American sewing
machines, too, are sold cheaper in Liverpool
than in this country, and Cakes Ames shovels
are sold ut 81 less per dozen to the greasy Mex
leans than they are to our own people 1t is
the tariff laws, said Mr.. Talbot, which enable
manufacturers to charge what they please in
the home market. Let us, Democrats and Re
publicans, get together and So change the tariff
that American manufacturers will sell rs
cheap to us as to the foreigner. Mr. Talbot
said Mr.. Cleveland has signed more pension
bills than any other President He wanted the
voters of Hartford county to go to the polls on
the 9Th of November and cast their ballots for
Cleveland and local self-government and carry
him along with Cleveland. I'm vote with
my life in opposition to the Force Bill. | can
Talbot land say that there is no apathy in
the campaign in Hartford"
F. w. Baker, Democratic candidate for Pres
idential elcctor, followed in Il brief speech.
The crowd fingered in the court house yard
for some time, listening to the sweet strains of
the Norrsvilie and Emmorton bands.
