LOUISVILLE, Nov. 1.-THE Demo
Gratis had monster demonstration here
tonight, the government of the state
and half of the legislature coming from
Frankfort to take part in it. Fully TO-
600 men, representing the Democratic
clubs of three cities about the falls
Louisville, New Albany and Jefferson
Ville-took part III the parade. The
city was brilliantly illuminated. Fully
25,000 people gathered in court house
square. Gov. Brown was too hoarSe to
speak but reviewed the procession from
the center stand. The principal speech
was made by Mr. Watterson
If began Mr.. Watters0n, 81 were
n Republican, should feel tonight very
much like the gentleman returning
from his club who suddenly found his
way blocked by a tree. He receded and
took another angle, but with the same
result. Finally, when this had hap
pened three or four times he folded his
arms, sat down upon the curbstOne,
and i'll despairing Of life exclaimed:
Lost in an impenetrable forest
At His Post OF DUTY.
The speaker then proceeded to pay
his respects TO those who had accused
him of inactivity in the campaign, de-
claring that he had been steadily at his
post OF duty, and then addressed HIM
self as fellows to the general situation:
There is no doubtful meaning to the vote
OF Tuesday. 1t sounds the death knell
of the protective system. The roDber
baron in his castle hears it and, amid
the cheers of emancipated labor, he is
ILL
money devil, bully always, yet ever
afraid of his shadow, and no wonder, it
is so hideOuS, has been knocked speech
less aud can only gasp for breath. The
sham rose and mock patriots, who,
making scarecroWS ana plucking
pigeons and discovering rebels and
traitors in impossible places, have
driven so brisk a business pursuing the
Old flag and pension, already see their
occupation gone. The able statesmen
and lawyers who found such an aston
iShing likeesS between the Democratic
tariff plank and the Confederate con-
stitution have awakened to knowl-
edge of the fact that it was lot the
Confederate constitution, but the CON
stitution of the United States that was
referred to and was indicated by the
people at the polls.
THE only cheerful note which can
be heard on any side comes from that
Mark Tapley Of RepubIicanism, the
brilliant and prosperous and genial
Chauncey Depew, who said, because |
eXLOlled
The Greatness and Glory
of the country at Chicago, that | was
making a Republican speech, which
only proves me to be The better Chris
tian of the two, since / aScribe every
thing to God which he aScrlbes to the
Republican party - and Chauncey,
abandoning the high tenor notes Of the
advocate and dlScardlng the dark fore
DOdings OF the patriot in a crisis, says,
like a sensible man: OF course | am
disappointed. | shall remain diSap-
pointed for an entire day.
"That tells the whole story. The
lime fixed is TOO long by half; but let it
go at that, and as the measure of all
thoughtful Republicans, for no honest
interest, no honest class, no honest
man has any cause to fear. We simply
mean to reverse the movement of en-
glneS Jnal were driving us to ruin. We
mean to do what the Republicans prom
Sed to do in the enactment of the war
aritf-reGuce it TO peace footing. We
mean to proceed with this work like
statesmen, not like mountrbanks and
rev0lutiOnistS.
The Democratic party represents at
this moment not merely the numbers,
but the brain and conscience of the
people; and. mindful of its responsible
ties, ii will address itself TO the
Revision and Reduction
Of the tariff duties upon lines so en-
lightened ana conservative as will CON
duct us from the high protection scale
to the lower revenue scale by a process
so gradual and just as to make the
transition pleasure to everybody eX-
cept the unpatriOtic and rapaciOuS who
have grown rich oil such privileges cor
ruptly obtained"
Closing, Mr.. Watterson said:
There is no gentleman more elated
than l am this night, no one will 20 to
sWeeler sleep, or to happier dreams.
Like the great number OF you | want
nothing but sound, successful Demo
cratic administration, and this | expect
20 get. Nay, more; when it is over, |
expect to get another and another, until
The prophecy of the fathers is fulfilled
and the right of every citizen to an
equal share in the blessings of free gov
eminent is confirmed and guaranteed
by a series of wise Democratic laws,
dlsfigured not even by the memory of
force bill, nor darkened by the shadow
Of one single protective duty"
