LOUD AT HOME AGAIN.
The Congressman Given a Rousing Re-
ceptiOn.

The COngressman Given a Rousing Re-
ception.
Hon. Eugene F. Loud. Congressman from
the Fifth District, arrived from the East
last night at late hour and was given a
reception in the Wigwam. at the corner of
Fell and Lagnna streets. He was net at
the ferry by the Morrow, Loud and Mission
clubs, including over 500 men in uniforms,
and escorted up Market street accom- panied
by brass band.
When the Wigwam was reached a vast
crowd was In attendance. and the structure
was crowded to the doors. Hundreds of
people were in attendance who could not
gain admission TO the building and were
compelled to go away. So great was the
jam In fact that the street outside was lined
with people. ana even a number of ladies
were on hand TO do honor to the returning
Congressman.
The meeting was called to order by L. II.
Van Schaick. but owing to the absence OF
the secretary who had the matter in charge
no list OF vice. presidents had been prepared
and none were announced. letter WAS
read. however. from DIR. r. c. Meyers, who
had been invited TO be present, in which
that gentleman regretted his absence and
stated that his heart was with the Repub-
lCan party.in its battle against the Demo
Gratis. This epistle when read was received
with great applause and an attempt was
made TO raise a cheer.
Congressman Loud was then introduced
and spoke briefly. His appearance was the
slguai for great outburst of enthusiasm.
and when he walked out upon the platform
50 great was the enthusiasm that 1t was
several moments before he could proceed
1t was aa ovation in fact, and showed the
esteem In which the recipient was held by
those who were present 10 do him honor.
When the cheering had subsidized Mr. Loud
spoke Orleny, ana referred 10 the record of
the Congress which had just adjourned. 1t
was. he SAID, so overwhelmingly Democratic
that he IN common with other good Repub-
llcaus had been unable 10 accomplish much
OF importance, but he was glad 10 know
that the country had become educated to
the shortcomings of the party in power,
and would vote them out of Office by most
decisive majority.
There has never been in the history of
the country" said Mr. Loud, "a Congress
OF SO liIIle benefit To the people as the one
Just adjourned. and their record will defeat
the Democratic party. After all their talk
about extravaganza they outdid their pred
ecessors IN the way of expenditures, and in
spite OF their abuse of III eaker Reed aud
bis rules they found IL necessary to ADOPT a
cloture resolution in order TO transact bust
ness toward the close of the session In
other words all they did in the way of bust
ness was direct Endorsement OF the preeed-
ing session, and when they strove to get
away from 1t they failed most ANONYMOUSLY.
he truth Of the matter Is that the DEM
ocratie party did nothing in spite of their
great boasts and cannot hope to return To
power. The lines are drawn from this time
on, and. fortunately for us, it is a clean-cut
fight between protection and free trade.
Depending upon the wisdom of the people
there can be but one result-the triumph of
Republican principles"
At the close of his remar ks, which were
short, MIR. Loud was given another ovation,
and he was succeeded by L. G.. Phelps, Col
lector OF the Port, who spoke in a similar
strain.
The meeting wound up with three cheers
Tor Harrison, Loud and protection.
