Last night in Kachlee's Bay Shore
House, Ocean and Wilkinson avenues.
rousing Democratic ratification meeting
was held 1t was under the auspices of
the Fourth Precinct Woodlawn Demo-
cratic Society. and was in the interests of
good government, honesty and Demo-
cracy. Kachlee's Hall has a seating
capacity of more than five hundred. The
room was crowded to sutfocation. The
assent mblage was enthusiastic and atten-
tive.
The meeting was called to order at
eight O'Clock, and Mr.. George 7. Bouton
was selected as the presiding officer. In
accepting the chair, MIR. BoutoR referred
TO the outrages of the present high tariff
to It's unjustness TO the poor to the bene-
fit and gain of the wealthy. son flannel
and shirts there is tariff of 100 per
cent" said he, ION .woolen blankets
tariff of 130 per cent, on looking glasses
118 per cent. These are things which
poor men require. but which are put
almost beyonu our reach by this tariff.
The Republican party knowing that re-
duction in the tariff was necessary
passed bill known as the Mckinley
bill, which frees from tariff uncut
things which are entirely unnecessary
to us. What use has poor man for dia-
monds aud such things What we want
to get cheaper are the necessities of life"
Mr.. BOuton then cited the case of the
President OF the German Pioneer Home
of Greenville, who for years has been
Republican, but is now out for Cleveland.
The Democratic party is the party of
the poor people," said he, 1.-THE Republi-
can party is the party for the poor only
about twenty days before Presidential
election. For the remaining three years.
eleven months and ten days they have no
use for us. They howl about British free
trade and the minute anything British is
said to an freshman, that settles it. The
brainest men OF the world are in the
Democratic party and so are the poorest
people. Do not be deceived by the Re-
publican party. Vote for your own in
terests aud assist in piling up a hand
some majority for Cleveland.
las for Mr.. George 4. Werts.Sa more
honorable man never breathed the breath
OF life. He is honest aud true and DEM
ocrat. Mr.. Kean is his mammals boy.
Last week heard khim make a speech aud
what he said was this: 1.-The issues of
this campaign, gentlemen, are the issues
of this campaign" Mr.. Potts says great
deal about the poor people and the coal
bill. Don't you all know that Herbert
Potts never raised mis- voice against this
bill 1t was inimical to his interests. He
had the power to oppose but cid not. He
was then, in my opinion, il the bill was
the Outrage he now parades it. a rascal
for not opposing it or fool if headid not
know its meaning"
JUDGE DALY's SPEECH.
Mr.. Bouton retired iu favor of Candi-
date w. d. DAILY, whose appearance was
greeted with cheer after cheer. Mr. Daily
thanked the emblaRe for the cordial
greeting and mace ringing speech which
brought out the enthusiasm of those pres
ent.
