c~LEvELAND's EcoRD
Mr.. Cleveland is the representative OF
the Democracy. Now it is all right to
let him run, but it is not right to let
him be elected. He is against every
thing that points to prosperity. The
Democratic party is the party OF the
past. 1t is the party OF ~grayeyards. II
declared the war was unconstitutional;
it declares that the tariff is neon
stitutional, although the supreme court
has declared otherwise. In fact, it de-
clared everything the Republican party
did was unconstitutional. But in
twenty-five wears from now they will
say that the Mckinley bill was the best
measure ever passed. [Cheers. 1t
has ever been the party OF destruction
and negation. But this country Will
never come to free trade until England
raises the wages Of labor to q level with
that in this country"
''The Democratic cry is that the con-
sumner pays the tax. Now, let US take
this single example: A farmer in
Canada raises a crop Of barley worth
$1,000, and an American farmer
does the same, The Canadian farmer
wants to sell in this country in compe-
tition with the American farmer, who
has been paying taxes. Now, would 1t
be right to let the Canadian have the
same advantage of the market with the
Americana No. The government says
to the Canadian you must pay $l6O at
the custom house before you can come
in. Doesn't the Canadian pay the tax?
A voice: '0f course lie does. OF
course he does. No proposition can be
palmer.
"Now, if free trade is so glorious, if it
is so good for the worklngmen, II 1t 10
such a good thing for the country, why
don't some Of you Benwood working
men go over to Great Britain and get
workP IA voice: 'We couldn't get it.
eve have got hold OF this country
and we intend to keep it. "a voice,
that's the stud.' We are all right
now. We are prosperous and happy,
and We mean to continue SO. Under
the benign influences of protection the
balance Of trade in our favor last year
was 5000, 00O,0 0O-that is, We have that
much more Of their money than they
have Of ours"
~ESeLAND's FREED.
"If l have the honor OF addressing
any Irishmen in this audience l want
to address u few remarks to them. /
have Irish blood in my veins and am
glad of it. Look at Ireland, the fairest
Jewel that aver glistened in the sea.
England, by her despotic rule has
crushed the life out Of her industries
utterly ruined. The Democratic party
is the handmade of England in her
economic policy, yet two-thirds OF the
Irishmen in this country vote the
Democratic ticket, vote for a party that
has aided and allotted England.
Now there is Cleveland on the one
hand for free trade and Harrison on the
other for protection. Which are you
going to choose? IA voice, Harrison.
Mr.. Harrison has given the country a
grand administration, a pure admins
tration, an honest administration, and
1 believe that one good term deserves
another" "That's what it does"
FORCE BILL AND NEGRO DOMINATION.
"Now, what are the two false issues
the Democratic party is harping on
the force bill and negro domination?
Now, there are about 5000 negro
voters in this state. They are not here
from choice, many of them were born
slaves here. The Democratic party
loves the negro except on election day,
and then don't want him to vote.
| think l know something about the
negro. | am a southerner and | am
proud oft. My father owned slaves,
and l had a negro NANNY and If there
is ANYTHING the Democrats ought to re-
spect it is the negro. While the masters
we're ut war TO weld his chains Of slavery
still tighter the faithful slaves were at
the homes OF these taking care OF and
protecting their families. Negro
Nomination. There is no such thing;
there never will be. And the force bill.
There is no force bill. The Democratic
party wants a free election and a fair
count; so does the Republican party.
That's all there is about it 1t is
the only thing they have to dis
cuss. The Democratic politician is try
ing to deceive you. The Democratic
party has always tried to deceive. And
convict labor! Where do you find it?
Always in Democratic states. Never in
Republican states. Applause.
AS to the issues, they are plain. My
father was in the Confederate army,
and l fought in the Union army. But
these issues have passed away. Let US
bury them, and work for what is best
for the whole country protection and
good money. Fellow citizens, | thank
you for this cordial reception, and hope
to see you again when l can speak to
you at greater length"
A GREAT DEMONSTRATION.
When Secretary Elkins had taken his
seat the crowd went wild. Some one
proposed three cheers for Secretary
Elkins." And the way the welkin did
ring with the blare OF horns, the beat
ing OF drums and the aver rising sound
of human voices would have done
credit to a national convention.
1t was with much difficulty that the
secretary could make his way to the
carriage. Everybody wanted to shake
hands with him, and with great-good
fellowship he complied, and stood smil-
ing and shaking. Mr.. George Wise in
