er, and forcibly cited the prompt
fall In price OF sugar upon placing it on
the free list. He showed clearly that
The bounty retained by the Mckinley
bill upon raw sugar is q INDUSTRIOUS and
fragrant violation of the Constitution,
and illustrated 1t by saying THAI the
farmer has the same right to demand
bounty upon the wheat, corn and other
products of his labor, as has the sugar
producer.
He exploded the heresy that the tar
iff accounts for what Republicans call
low prices for the necessaries OF life,
and showed that they were lower in free
trade countries than in the United
States. His explanation Of the effect Of
new processes and improved machinery
to cheaper commodities of necessity
was a perfect and overwhelming an-
swer to Capt Dovener's tame recital on
Friday.
Mr.. Pendleton rejoiced that the ma
tional wealth is increasing at the rate
of two thousand million dollars year,
but declared that the Democratic oppo-
sition and complaint arose from the I'M
equal and unequitable distribution OF
this wealth by reason Of class legisia-
ton, demonstrating that half Of it goes
into the hands of the few, and the bal
ance to the remainder of the population
of the United States. He knocked the
props from Captain Dovener's and q.
Wesley's fish story and bushel OF wheat
argument, and made it manifest that
the latter had never gotten beyond the
"a B C' in tariff knowledge.
Suffice it to say on this subject that
| the speech was the most thorough,
lucid, exhaustive and satisfactory which
| has yet been delivered here. He next
took up the Force bill, and his descrip-
ton Of it's odious and detestable feat
ures brought the house to round after
round of desfening applause, and the
| fact that his opponent had repudiated
| the measure himself on Friday was espe-
cially directed to the attention OF his
audience. He could not understand,
nor could his hearers, how it
is that Mr.. Davis, Gubernatorial
| candidate on the Republican ticket,
through his spokesman, Mr.. George
! Wesley, is so earnestly supporting that
1 revolutionary measure, while Captain
I ID. is denouncing it. He made it plain
that by opposing this measure Captain
d. is overruling the position OF his par
ty as expressed in its platform, and
that of President Harrison as shown in
his various messages, and also all the
other orators and party organs OF his
party.
Captain D. is sly and cunning law
] yer, but the joke wont work on the
people of the interior.
1t was plain from Mr.. Pendleton's
presentation of the facts that Captain
d. is an opponent OF the Force bill "for
votes only" His remarks upon the
Force Bill and its untold iniQuities were
loudly and repeatedly applauded. The
details of the detestable measure were
never truly explained here before, G..
Wesley, however, having read garbled
and false statements from radical news
papers and thereby misrepresented the
real object and scope Of the abom-
Unable and diaboical outrage on
American suffrage and constitutional
liberty. Our people had not been in
formed that the chief supervisor, in
whose hands almost the entire machin-
cry Of elections is placed, is to be life
officer, necessarily Republican, and is
to be appointed by Republican judges,
whose term of office is also for life, and
to whom any appeal is from Repuh-
lican creature to Republican creator.
They had not been informed that the
returning board, created by the bill,
could reject votes after they had been
deposited, at pleasure-at its own
sweet will.
Mr.. Pendleton concluded in perora-
ton upon the life and character Of
Grover Cleveland, which was sublime
in eulogy and magnificent in eloquence.
Mr.. Pendleton has made nine speeches
In the county during the past week, at
each of which enthusiastic and large
audiences were present.
w. w. Brannon, Chairman OF the
County Executive Committee, deserves
especial commentator for his tireless
efforts in behalf OF the ticket.
Look out for $50 majority for Democ-
racy in Lewis County.
