and spoke for an hour and half. holding
the crowd with his eloquent address that

of the day were of such a character as
among details. 'One or two men,"

globe has ever acknowledged q leader

The names of Grant, Garfield and others
were mentioned among those who had risen
from the humber walks OF life to high Re-
publican honors. Il am" said the Gov

lowing a change of administration from
the Republican to the Democratic were
given some attention. and the four great
commercial calamities OF 1917, 1881, 1887 and
1873 were cited, In each of which cases the
Governor affirmed that the results had
been lnstiRsted by the application of
doctrines antagODistic to those Of the Re.
publican party. The panics had been pre-
cIpitated by the lowering of the tariff.

On the subject of protection, the Gov

succeeded by the money question. which
was treated analytically, forcing from the
arguments much favor for the Republican

The Governor, In conclusion, drew at
