TIE SPEECH OF A DEMAGoGUE
"The time is earnest. Tho duties OF
the day and the hour are grave, serious
and important. This convention has
convened to naue candidates for the
different state Offices to be filled by
election in November next, also as the
representatives OF the doctrines, prin.
ciples and policy OF the Democratic
party, and to take such action as may
be most conducive to those interests
and 10 the public welfare. This con-
vention, therefore, among other things
means the absolute freedom and equal.
~ OF elections in the several states. It
means the condemnation and overthrow
ofall force bills and federal returning
boards. This convention also means
the reduction OF the rates OF tariff taxa
tion and the adjustment OF those rates.
SO that the public burden shall not rest
in the first instance upon tho daily
necessities OF men, but in some degree
upon their wealth and their ability to
pay and bear them. [ [Applause.]
ut means that the laborer,, the me.
chanic,i shall be entitled to hold and en-
JOY his earnings, and that no law shall
compel him to divide these without re.
turn, among the ruthless bandit OF tho
tariff trusts and combinations. (Great
applause laE ar
This great assemblage to-day has
another significance. 1t designs the
craze Of public expenditures and the
political death and burial OF all advo-
Gates and supporters OF that mammoth
extravagance, the billion appropriation
bill; and especially it indicates tho
political obsequics OF that very dcmure
and reticent billionist who resides at
present iii tho executive mansion Mt
Washington, and who signed and ap.
proved the bill, and without whose
name and signature this enormous draft
upon the peoples money could never
have been paid, made or presented.
[Applause.]
PURE DUNCoMBE., @
'"The billionists, great or small,
must perish together. They have for
gotten the tax payers; the tax payers
will remember them in judgment with
out mercy Great applause) and be.
cause we favor the return of administra.

strict economy and the highest intecri.
| tv VIC shall have more OF the public
funds to eXpend for necessary objects
and purposes. This convention means
that the pensions OF tho soldiers and
sailors, their widows and orphans in tho
war ior tho union, shall be promptly
and punctually paid as allowed by law.
The army pensions shall be generous.
ly provided for, but the tariff pensions,
the tariff subsidies and monopoles,
shall be rejected. finally and absolutely
repealed. Great applause.)
"The flesh and the blood and embodi-
mcnt, tho completest personification OF
the errors, falschoods and falacics Of
the Republican party, is now an incum.
bent OF tho presidential office. At the
opening OF the present session last De-
cember he sent a message to tho people
through their representatives in Con.
gress assembled. This message was
sent in period Of much depression.
Tens OF thousands OF workmen were
waiting for an increase OF wages, rs
promised after the passage OF tho Nc
kinney law, when other thousands were
waiting and are still waiting yet in vain
for work or employment, at any wages,
which had also been promised rs tho
result of that measure. There arc some
verbose and misty predictions, mysteri-
GUS prophecies about the benefits to be
conferred upon this portion OF mankind
by that very attenuated and shadowy
sham miscalled reciprocity. Ap.
plause. -
Really, to read this message care.
fully, one would think that the people
OF the United States had no methods OF
escape or. refuge, or release from tho
executions and eXtortions of Mckinley.

be shown them and confer upon them
by tho special grace OF the Brazilian
ministry. or, some other good hearted
.diplomatists Of the foreign powers.
