REPUBLICAN RALLY.
A GRAND SUCCESS.

One of the most successful meetings
ever held in this vicinity was held at
Central Hall last evening. The hall
was completely filled, and it was
noticeable feature of the evening that
there was large number of voters
from the surrounding country who
gave close attention to the convincing
arguments made by the various speak
ers.
One thing was clearly proven and
that is the fact that the republicans
have for congressman in Philip l..
Wilson a candidate of which they
may well feel proud. His discussion
of the tariff and other issues was made
in such clear and straight forward
manner that it was at once the most
convincing and pleasing presentation
of these matters that has been listened
to in long time. He so completely
answered every point and argument
made the previous evening by his OPP
ponent, Justin Il. Whiting, that even
the democrats present were forced TO
say, 81 was surprised in WiXson-he Is
certainly an able man." 1t is very
evident that the democratic leaders at
Port Huron haze an object in spread
ing the report throughout the district
that Wilson lacks ability. The reason
for this was made clearly apparent to
the republicans who attended last
nights meeting for he is most certainly
q candidate who will receive unani-
nous republican support, and one of
whom the people of his county may
Justly feel proud.
The other speakers were Alex X.
Avery, James III. White and DR.. Pace.
Mr.. Avery delivered one of his logic
al arguments that received undivided
attention, and at the close he called
attention of the audience to the fact
that the speakers of the previous
evening had followed in the tracks
of the Editor of the Yale Democrat
and had again tried to mislead the
people with series of statements
regarding State taxes that were abso-
lutely false.
He then called upon Mr.. +. +. Law
to make statement as to the facts in
yolYed in this controversy, which he
did in such clear and forcible man.
ner, giving page of State reports where
every figure can be found, and offer
ing democrats an opportunity to then
and there inspect them. His figures
as clearly shown to the audience prove
beyond controversy that the parties
have been publishing falsehoOd after
falsehood knowing them to be such.
The said Democratic editor being
present, and before DIR. Lar had said
lDOrd, took occasion to challenge
everybody and everything, including
Belva Lockwood and Windy Leonard
to mortal political combat, and IN
sisted that the meeting should be
stopped to give him an opportunity to
spout.
Attention is called to the fact that
these parties had had the same hall
the previous evening; that they then
and there undertook to misrepresent
Mr.. Law, and did misrepresent the
facts in the controversy; that Mr.. Law
was then present but did not try to
force himself upon the audience to re-
flute these false statements, but that
he sat still and listened TO the speakers
without disturbing them or insisting
upon using their time.
Attention is also called to the fact
that it is but Just and fair that the re-
publicans should be accorded the same
treatment.
Merely because the said Editor and
many-sided political crank bustles
around in a republican meeting like an
old hen in pants IL 1CdS not accessory
to stop the meeting and take the time
of other speakers who followed; and
that if he really wants an opportunity
to explain why he has been trying to
mislead the people he had better hire
hall.
