West Point.
| Sir. DiQes spoke of the Democratic ma
| iority which Manchester had rolled mp IN
| the previous campaigns, and spoke IN very
complimentary terms OF the progress OF
the city. He stated that 1t was not neces-
sary for him to discuss the Ihird-party
| movement nor the tariff. The Democratic
party was poor mans organization. and
was in favor of low tariff and low taxation,
| while the 2epu blicans were ayerse to these
principles.
The speaker said he had been re-
| Quested by the president of the club TO
speak in detail OF the force bill. The An
derson-M Met ormick law, continued the
speaker, has been pronounced by the Re
publlcans one of the most iniqultous
pieces OF legislation that has ever been
enacted by any people, and spoke OF the
force bill in comparison with this measure.
He said II was not this law that the Re
publcsns were striving against. but the
enviable majority which the Democrats
held in the Legislature, which was SUI
fcient to enforce the law.

measures and holding up 70 his hearers the
inquiries of the force bill, spoke briefly or
the Third party. euloglzed Cleveland,
