Handsomely Deeorated-Hundreds of

Before the Speaking.
Colonel A. X. Mcclure, editor Of the
Philadelphia Times and one of the best
known journalists and political orators
in the United States will answer Nc
Kinley and Frye in Madison street rink,
this city tonight.
The meeting will be held under the
auspices of the Cleveland First Voters
club. which has been untiring in its
efforts to get the well-known Pennsyl-
vanian upon the stump in Delaware. 1t
succeeded when the county executive
committee had failed.
1t has only been few weeks since
Colonel Mcclure addressed a mammoth
mass meeting in the Academy of Music,
Philadelphia His subject then was
"The Mckinley Tariff Robbery and
Fraud.
He will speak tonight on the tariff,
and will treat of its baneful influence
upon the agriculturists and work
ingmen of Delaware. In his Philadel-
phia speech he said:
Let us take our latitude fairly at the
start so that all can intelligently judge
results am here to arraign the So
called Republican protection to labor as
presented in the Mckinley tariff, as
mingled robbery and fraud. Cheers. ]
1t is a deliberate fraud in its pretence of
protecting the labor of American work
men. and it is as deliberate robbery of the
great masses of the people for the bene-
fit of the few of favored classes.
Applause 1t has bastardized the
honest protection of our fathers by
subtle hypocrisy and insatiate greed,
until it is today simply the fostering
maggots of monopoly. Prolonged ap-
plause These are strong words; and
fully appreciate the fact that If fail to
Justify them in answering Governor Nc
Kinley. l must justly forfeit public respects
believe in fostering every industry
that promises to advance the prosperity
of the whole people: but quite agree
with Colonel Ingersoll when he said that
he believed in protecting infant indus
tries. but when the infant industry gets
70 wearing No. II boots, and proposes ia
get up and kick him all around the room
If he stopped rocking the infants cradle,
he thought it about time TO call halt
Laughter and applause

persons will hear him tonight In antic
