Tho hour 10a. IN. fixed for the adj
dress Of Judge Nugent, candidate for
povetnor on the Third party platform,
was OF a time 20 incOnvenient, tho ar
ranqement for getting out 10 the park

campers not many heard the speech
Judge Nugent made the usual typo Of
Third party speech, on tho general
proposition that land, labor and finance
were the three subjects Of grave po-
liical interest to-day, and especially
that the bad condition of tho day
that so oppressed the farmer and other
labOrors was due 10 financial mal-ad-
ministration, for which tho remedy
was an increase OF the circulating me-
dium. While the speech was OF the
usual type IL Is also very true that the
language was more scholarly, the argn-
menis more logical and the effective
utterances OF the speaker wore given
with Evolutionary grace that was n
pleasant relief from the passion-tearlng
and air-sawing 30 common 70 tho gem
cral political stump speaker. Another
remarked element OF the address w.s
the large element OF intense humanity
that ran through II all. Judge Nug0nt
said he was not actuated by any sordid
considerations Of the love for Office or
desire for otiico; that he IL q candidate

moral aud material, OF humanity, and
especially, because they most need IL,
the labOing claas.
He said but one party, and that was
the party Of tho people, recognized
something substantially wrong In the
body polite and suggested the practic-
able remedy. The Republicans said
nothing was wrong while the Demo
Gratis said there was " wrong and the
reformation Of tho tariff on the lines OF

the condition OF the great body Of the
people, and the party saw the remedy
Tor this wrong and offered IL for the
acceptance Of tho whole people, The
Democrats could do nothing, for
there WINS no creator prospect for them
obtaining control OF the government
now than there had been FOR twenty-
five years past Tho orators Of tho
party had como pleading for more
timo until they could got control OF the
government and then thoy would re-
form everything and everybody. The
force bill wis talked Of By them, but
this was only a mode OF bulldozing you
back 10 tho old party
This led to Senator Coke who the
speaker said WIS engaged la the same
miserable and unmanly work to-day, as
he was sixteen years ago when no de-

Democracy as represented by Hogg.
AS for himself, Nugent said no did
not want TO be- called Democrat for
he was not ono. The car stable plat
form needed both apology and eXplaun-
ton though the English language ox-
hausted could not do the subject Justice.
He liked the iogg platform best be-

Judge Nugent Thought the cnuso OF
humanity was involved In this nghtnnd
