tions, and the increase that was made
in duty upon the necessities of life
He spoke briefly Of the repeal of the
sugar tax, and said the Republicans
were the oldest ,ons in the cane
brake. He believed in fighting all
along the line. He was opposed tc
the single shot policy adopted by the
present Congress in dealing with the
tariff question, but submitted to the
majority Of the Democrats. They had
done all men could do. He read a
few extracts from Winstead's speech,
and said that the only difference be.
tween him and Annanias, was that
Annanias lied because he wanted to
keep some of his property back, and
Winstead lied because he didn't
know any better. The. only fault
in the speech was that
there is no truth in it. The
then showed the fallacy
of the four planks of the Peoples
party's platform 1st. Purchase and
control of railroads. 2nd. Telegraph
lines. 3D. Land loan scheme, and
9TH, the treasury. He handled
each one without gloves and said
they were Capitalization run mad"
Democracy is as bold as all the
lions that ever left their lairs. 1t has
nothing to conceal and nothing to
fear. The leopard cannot change his
spots, and Democracy will not change
its creed. [Applause.] We are 60
ing to win from Beersheba to Dan,
from Cleveland to Dunbar. We are
asked: "What has the Democratic
party done for the people?" and the
same ones answer "Nothing." A
greater calumny was never heaped
upon people. The Democrats made
the United States three times larger
than it was when Jefferson took
charge. They prevented the search
of American vessels upon the high
seas. Under Cleveland's administra-
tion they recovered 100000 900 acres
OF the public domain that Was given
away by the Republicans, We have
had the world, the flesh, and the
devil to fight against, and it is as
tonishing that we have done as much
as we have. We must all get back
together. Our fathers fought to-
gether. Then let us get back again
and be brothers once more. Our
party began with the revolution, and
continues to 60 on. 1t was not born
to die while man is free. There is
that within the Democratic heart
that will never die"
Mr.. McMillin made broad, able
speech, that brought cheer after cheer
from the eager crowd. He did much
good by his earnest presentation of
the Democratic faith. 1t was nearly
4 o'clock when he finished, and
HON. JAS. d. RICHARDSON
Took the stand. He said it was late
and he would not trespass on the pa.
tience'of the crowd, and would only
say a few words. He directed his
darts almost solely at pensions and
the force bill. "We pay more money
in PENSIONS" said he, "than all the
autocratic and monarchical govern
ments of the world. Russia has a
standing army Of millions, and we
have an army Of $4,000, yet we pay
eight times more money in pensions
than Russia does This is the state OF
affairs begotten by Republican pen
sion bureau. You want to leave the
Democratic party? Where will you
go? To the author of your troubles,
the Republican party? 1t seems so.
He who is not for us is against US. If
the Democratic party has done moth
ing else for thirty years, 1t ought to
receive the plaudits of all free men
for preventing the passage of that In.
famous, malignant, and turpitudi-
nous measure known as the force bill.
1t is measure that menaces the lib
erty of the South. It's name is a
stencil in the nostrils of all good men.
Armed men at the ballot box, and
perhaps negroes themselves, Federal
supervisors, and returning boards, all
of this reeks with the essence OF cor
ruption ana tyranny If this bill
is once. passed there will never
again be free election in our coun.
try. Stand by the Democratic party
and prevent these direfu calamities."
Mr.. Richardson is fine speaker,
and it was regretted that his time
was limited. The meeting at Sailors
Rest was no doubt productive of
great good. 1t was great day for
Democracy, and one long to be re-
membered.
