Benjamin Harrison, that grandest
specimen of Americanis,n. The posi-
tion of the democrats and the lndepen.
dents was clearly shown. One has a
history that it is ashamed of, and the
other'has no history. The STAR has
used up its space in presenting brief
outlines Of the speeches just delivered
and therefore can not give much space
to the excellent addresses of its own
party orators. Therefore, comment up
on MIR. VanClse excellent address must
be cut short, as we'll as the one follow
ing him by our honored fellow citizen,
Capt. w. V. Lucas. Capt. Lucas be-
gan his remarks by sympa,hising with
the audience, or those Of them who had
for 16S hours been llatenlng to the
political harrangues from the four par
ties but he felt called upon to say some-
thing in defense of the republican par
ty that had been so bitterly assai!ed
from gentlemen who had been before
him upon that platform. The pro,ec-
tive policy of the republican party was
then clearly set forth IN most convinc-
ing arguments; the facts and figures
being presented from that horrible,
robbing Mckinley bill" and in such a
manner that the democrats present
WINGED about in their seats, until final
ly the blows came SO direct and with
such force that they Withdrew. The
speaker said we will admit every artl-
Gle free of duty that we cannot pro-
duce in this country, but we will levy
tariff so that every other article will
cost as much as if manufactured here
thus continuing the high wages of
this country as compared with other
countries. The creed of the republi-
can party is, to take care of the people
of our own nation and let Queen Vie
toria take care of hers. A home mar
ket is best; all believe that; If not why
is it that all towns are endeavoring to
establish manufactures, and even of
feriug big bonuses to secure them.
Capt. Lucas satisfied the large audi
ence present that he thoroughly un-
derstands the various questions that at
this time absorb public attention-par-
ticularly the tariff and financial ques-
tions. Republicans have reason to be
proud of that address-his first at the
beginning of the campaign. And his
closing remarks were that II want it
distinctly understood if you see fit to
send me to congress, 60 to do all in
my power to protect Black Hills, South
Dakota and American interests.
Then President Hancher took oc.
caslon to express his gratitude to the
people who had lent their aid toward
the success of the third annual Black
Hills Chautauqua Assembly, and es-
pecislly was he grateful to the people
of Hot Springs And with a song
from the Orpnean Quartet the assem-
bly, closed.

companled by his wife. MIR. Coad has
