speakers of the occasion. The West
side band rendered several pieces OF
music, and the Sixth Ward Glee club

tioES. He read a letter from Hon. Dan
lei w. Lawler expressing regret that a

ence in the letter to Cleveland and the
issues involved in the campaign were
greeted with cheers.
Sick of NEonopOlists.
c. j. Buell. was called upon to address
the audience, and he proved to be an
able advocate of Democratic doctrines.
He was often greeted with cheers and
applause. He said lie was born and
bred Republican. He did not upbrald
his parents for their teaching. He be-
lieved in the abolition of slavery TWEEN
ty-hve years ago as much as he now be-
Ii fhn h.r,, L.,
day. which mean freedom from the
slavery of the mouopolists.
He said that Jefferson founded the
great Democratic party for the purpose
of freeing the country from the power
of the aristocratS. He believes that
Grover Cleveland is the Thomas Jeffer-
son OF today. who will be the means in
the hands of the Democrats to relieve
the country from the oppression of the
mOnopOlists, as did our grandfathers
100 years ago. Lawler he considered
the giant of Democracy who will lead
us from the bondage Of vicious legis-
latorS in this state
He likened the people of this country
to those of Ireland, who pay tribute to
tile few landlords. He condemned the
policy of the Republican party for
granting landed aud other privileges 10
the few monopoiSts. He declared that
the Democratic party never made
mistake upon the great issues that are
today before the people for national
and state solution.
Judge willis, Logic.
Hon. John w. Willis was in his most
fellcltous humOr when he arose to con-
graduate the Democrats of the ward
upon their interest i'll the living issues
OF the day. After referring to the fact
that it was the evening of Labor day
celebration, he inquired tue cause of
the banding together of laboring peo-
pie. and answering said the cause to he
the necessity for organization to resist
the encroachmentS of the oppressive
manufacturer and monopolist. The
banding of laborers together is based Oh
the same theory as is the Democratic
theory, namely to resist oppression and
TO secure the natural rights and iber-
ties of the masses of the people.
Mr.. Willis discussed the force bill and
characterized ii as Republican plan to
control the country, and to take away
the liberties of the people. The tariff
came in Tor discussion bv the Young
orator, and he hurled effective philippics
against the policy of a protective tariff
that does not enrich the United States
treasury, but pOurS money by the mill
ions into the purses of the few manu-
facturers. Mr.. Willis was happy in his
discussion of the tariff, and made it in
terestihg with profuse Illustration. The
audience was well pleased with his
speech. and many times emphasized
points in the address by comments and
expressions of approval.
Butler Oh State Issues.
Pierce Butler made an excellent
Snppnh- DWELLING c 10 ,ri,
cipally. He was fortunate in having the
enthusiastic applause of the audience.
fhe meeting on the whole was a pro-
nounced success. and the campaign in
the Sixth ward is already at white
heat.
