WITH PYROTEOHNItS IN HONOR OF GEN. E.
@. STAHL
Who Delivers Masterfal Address in the German
Languags-Ths East End Meeting
Other Political Notes.

Gen. C. e. Stahl, the distinguished
German orator of Trenton, n. j., ad-
dressed big meeting of citizens OF Full
ton last night. The town was gaily be-
deeked with bunting and japanese Ian
terms, and the Democratic citizens fairly
outdid themselves in doing honor to
their guest and the organization which
escorted him to the place Of meeting.
Gen. Stahl arrived in the city yester-
day and registered at the Hotel Behler.
During the afternoon be was called
upon by many German citizens. Last
night the German-American Cleveland
Uuion formed In line at Rogers Hall
and marched down to the Behler, head
ed by McClelland's band. Gen. Stahl
was given three rousing cheers when
he appeared in the hotel lobby.
He entered a carriage with Henry Ro-
brecht, Michael Stein and Paul Rey-
mann, and the procession started on It's
long route, up Market street, and over
the hill, to Fulton. When the citizens
of Fulton saw the head of the procession
reach the brow of the hill, with its myri-
ads of red lights, their pent-up enthusl-
asm was given expression in loud cheers,
and as the column passed through the
streets there was display OF rockets
and candles never excelled in the little
town. Gen. Stahl uncovered his head
in response to the applause along the
streets.
After a short procession the line
halted in front of the platform, which
was erected in the street, opposite M.
STEMS place of business. The plat
form was hidden from sight behind the
mass Of bunting, tastefully arranged.
Above it was banner bearing the in
scription: German Democratic meet
ing" and beside it the two big Demo
cratic poles, between which was sus-
pended the magnificent flag presented
to the Fulton club by the ladies OF that
town.
When Gen. Stahl assembled the steps
of the platform he was wildly cheered'
and the applause was renewed when lie
was introduced by County Committee
man Michael Stein. The audience was
very large, and was made up OF citizens
OF all parties, who assembled to listen
to a discussion OF the vital issues OF the
campaign in their own language. Gen.
Stahl demonstrated TO them that pro-
tective tariff is as necessary to their
prosperity as the "p" in pneumonia"
He presented the subject in plain and
forcible way, and was cheered to the
echo. Many of the Germans present
stated that they never heard as eloquent
and interesting an orator. He held his
audience spell-bound, and it was larger
when he concluded than at the outset.
The Democrats of Fulton, men and
women-and there are no more enthuSi-
astic Democrats than the Fulton ladies'
WED with each other In their decora-
tions. Among those notably handsome
were those OF NJ. Stein, Christ Hoff-
man, Chas. Hoffman, John Kock, Law
renee Heller, Jacob Roth, Jos. Herden,

Stahnke, Chas. Yoke, Adolph Yoke,
the Hoffman sisters, Matthias Scheutz-
ner, Edw. Real, NJ. Freismuth, Hermann
Goehringer, John Kraft, VIM. Bayles,
and others.
The club returned on a special motor,
and proceeded up Chapline street to the
residence of DR.. A. +. Stifel, where a
very enjoyable serenade was rendered
the doctor. He responded in neat
speech.

Gen. Stahl will address meeting to-
night at the Opera House, and it goes
without saying that the house will be
packed. The meeting will be called to
order by DR.. A. f. Stifel, who will
name the Chairman of the meeting.
