A NEW REPUBLICAN CLUB.

senator Dixon Spoke at Olneyvilie on
the Campaign issues.
The Johnston Republicans held an en-
thusastic rally last evening in Library
Hall, listened TO addresses by Senator
Dixon, George A. Lttleheld and the
Hon. Frank w. Tillinghast, and after
wards formed Republican club TO be
called the Abraham Lincoln Club Oh
Johnston.
DR.. Twitchell. chairman OF the town
committee, had the arrangements in
charge, and William "A. Phillips pre-
sided at the meeting.
Senator Dixon was the first speaker;
He said that in 1860 Lincoln was elected
to the Presidency. aud in 1861 began the
first Republican government or the
country. Since then the Repub'
iican party has held power save
for four years when Mr.. Cleveland was
president, mo administration OF any
country or government could have SHOWN
such progress. prosperity or recupera-
tive power as mas been made under the
successive Republican governments.
The Republican party in presenting Har'
rison for election for second term, mas
| considered his administration a sufficient
reason and will lookto the conservatism
| OF the people and will elect him.
The man who four gears ago went to
| Washington is now experienced and
| tried; who four years ago went 10 work
under the shadow Of his grandfather,s
| hat mas now outgrown 1t aud oyershad-
| ows il. Mr.. Harrison commenced his ad
ministratlon in the face of ridicule OF his
| associates and of his enemies. He now
| commands the respect and admiration OF
his party aud of many Democrats"
In reference to the nomination OF Mr..
| Clev land the senator said The Dem
ocrats threw out Of the question the fact
| of that legislation which would vitality
| affect the tariff. They have fixed AS the
policy of the party, opposition to the
| Force Bill and Negro domination.
1--WE of the North believe In the free
| dom of the ballot and an honest count
| aud IL seems incredible tol US. that oppo-
sition is made to legislation that assures
4 such to all the people OF the United States.
Laying aside any question as to the
| tariff, for all in the North believe In
| protection, the Democrats only differ
| from us as to the amount of duty. We
| all believe in advantageous trade and that
| il should be gained for our workingmen.
AS to money tne:senator said The
! Democrats profess to believe the amount
OF circulation should be larger. We have
| now in circulation S25 per capita, q
larger amount than ever in any other
country. For the purpose OF increas-
ing the circulation or medium
the tax on state banks 80 removed. Some
of you remember the old days of state
banks, when the face value of so-called
money lost its value when taken into an
other State. The Republican party years
| ago were forced to invent a system OF ma
tional bonds. so that bill issued IN
Maine would be taken for value in Wash
lngton or California. No man now looks
TO see from what bank or State bill is
issued for he knowsthe full credit OF the
United States supports IT..
The Senator referred to the RepuL lican
policy i'm regard to pensions and inter
national affairs, and said: There is nc
excuse for having. "a Democratic presl
dent the party having always opposed
the prosperity of the country.
