LOUISVILLE, KY, November 1.-THE
Democrats had monstrous meeting here
| tonight the Governor OF the State and
half Of the Legislature coming from Frank
fort TO take part in it. Fully 10000
men representing the Democratic clubs OF
the three adjacent cities took part IN the
parade.
The city was brilliantly Illuminated.
Fully $4,000 people gathered in Court
House square. Governor Brown was too
hoarse to speak, but reviewed the process
sion from the centre stand. The principal
speech was made by Mr.. Henry Waiter
son.
"If,n began Mr.. Watterson, " were q
Republican | should be like the gentleman
who returning from his club, suddenly
found his way blocked by tree. He re-
ceded and took another angle, but with the
same result. Finally, when this had hap
pened three or four times, he folded his
arms, sat down upon the curbstone, and In
despairing tones exclaimed: Lost In an
impeuetraDle forest
The speaker then proceeded to pay his
respects to those who had accused him Of
Inactivity in the campaign, declaring that
he mad been steadily at his post Of duty and
then addressed himself as follows to the
general situation:
"There Is no double meaning to the vote
of Tuesday. 1t sounds the death knell OF
the protective system. The robber baron
in his castle hears it and amid the cheers
of emancipated labor he is preparing to
meet the inevitable. The money devil, q
bully always, yet ever afraid OF his
shadow, and no wonder, it is so hideous,
has been knocked speechless and can only
gasp for breath.
"rhe sham heroes who, by making scare
crows and plucking pigeons and discover
ing rebels and traitors in impossible places,
have driven so brisk business pursuing
the old flag and a pension, already see their
occupation gone.
"The able statesmen and lawyers who
found such an astonishing likeness be-
tween the Democratic tariff plank and the
Confederate constitution have awakened
to the knowledge OF the fact that 1t was
not the Confederate constitution but the
Constitution of the United States that was
referred TO and that has been vindlcated by
the people at the polls.
1.-THE only cheerful note which can be
heard on any side comes from that Mark
Tapley of Republicanism, the brilliant,
prosperous and genial Chauncey Depew,
who because 1 extolled the greatness and
glory of the country at Chicago, thought
was making a Republican speech, which
of the two, since ascribe everything TO
God, which he ascribos TO the Republi-
cans.
1--WE simply mean to reverse the move
ment of engines that were driving US TO
ruin. We mean to do what the Republicans
promised to DO in the enactment OF the war
tariff, reduce it TO peace footing. we
NAV proceed with this work like statemen,
not like mountebanks and revolutionists."
Closing, Mr.. Watterson said: There is
no one among you more reioiced than | am
this night, no one who will 90 to sweeter
sleep or to happier dreams. Like the
greater number of you, want nothing but
a sound, successful Democratic admins
tration, and this expect to get.
"Nay, more: when it is over, expect to
get another and another until the prophesy
of the fathers is fulfilled and the right OF
every citizen to an equal share in the bless
iugs of free government is confirmed and
guaranteed by series OF Democratic laws,
disfgured, not even by the memory OF a
force bill, nor bartered by the shadow Of
one single protective duty"
