The latest reports of the British cleo

business as revising the registration

The Ix-secretary Addresses Housing
Ratification Meeting in Easton, nd.
A rousing Cleveland and Stevenson
ratification meeting was held at Easton
Nd, yesterday afternoon. Hon. Thomas
2. Bayard of this city was the guest of
honor and one Of the principal speakers
The others who spoke were William
Pinckney Whyte and A. Leo Knott
Mr. Bayard said he had come TO Talbot
on the invitation of Colonel Lloyd to
sta the trueposition Of affairs before
the voters of the United States. ''The
situation, he said ''was one in which we
are to choose whether the organic forces
OF the government are to be changed
or not, whether the people are TO enjoy
equal benefits Of the government or
whether the sovereign forces Of the gov
ernment are to be relinquished into the
hands of class of men who
shall be our superiors and
no longer our fellow.citizens "
He dwelt upon the danger to the liberty
Of the people of creating n privileged
class and delegating to individuals the
power Of levying taxes. IF this is per-
mitted, he said, lit is bound to result
in the exercise Of arbitrary powers and
such power in the hands Of individuals is
bound TO be corrupting and cruel and to
be fruitful of incidents such as we have
read of in Pennsylvania. Mr. Bayard
spoke Tor more than an hour, deal
ing in a broad-minded way with the
fundamental principles of government.
which, he said, ARE involved in and
violated by the assumption of the Re
publican party that taxes may be laid by
private individuals for the protection of
individuals. The tendency of the Ne
Linley system, he said. is the building
up an ohgarchy, and the Force bill is a
consequence of the Mckinley system The
Force bill is the lock on the door TO Sc
cure the prisoners of the Mckinley
system. In conclusion Mr. Bayard paid a
high tribute to Mr. Cleveland's character
and his sincerity He said that Mr..
Cleveland deserves the confidence the
people have in him. To sum it all up he
said the American people have made no
mistake. There never lived a man who
more conscientiously exercised the public
power entrusted to his hands for the
public good alone than the man who is
the candidate of the Democratic party
for President of the United States"
Mr. Bayard was accompanied by Hon.
James Williams of Smyrna, and Henry
G.. Banning of this city. The speakers
were entertained at the HOTEL Avon be-
fore the meeting was held.
