Tho 5000 people assembled ut Fourth

CASTOR OF the unfurling OF tho Ropub-
lean lnvincibles' large and handso me
banner shows the interest taken in the
campaign. The banner fully descrlh-
cd Is the largest ever raised in the
State.
1t was S.:5 when tho Republican
Clubs with music and banners had all
arrived upon the ground, and at that
hour President Wigglesworth of the
lnvincibles, took the chair. As Hyatts
Military band ceased playing, Presi-
dent WiggleswoIth introduced the
DlSt speaker of the evening, Jonathan
5. Willis, Republican candidate for
Congress. MIR. WILLIS appearance
was the signal for grand ovation.
Mr.. Willis said, that although the
nomination for Congress hud come TO
him unsought he wns nevertheless
thankful for it, and his good will ex
tended to all good citizens without
regard to party utilization. He refer
red to the relations we sustain to each
other and makes us all fellow crea-
lures invested with common Instincts
and all tending towards common
destiny.
1t has been common freak of hu-
man nature to treat each other as il
we belonged to another stock. An
other relation we sustain to each other
Is that we arc all citizens OF n common
country and that the geatest country
on the face OF the earth, and therefore
we should all he bound together with.
out political preiudiees.
We all profess to bolleve In the prin.
ciples of self-Eovernmeht, and that
man is capable of exercising that prln-
clple, and the way to arrive at just
conclusions In the matter Is to con-
slider what we have been and we now
are. The duties that grow out OF
these opinions are subjects for our
considerations.
First our actions should he guided
by fairness and honesty. We should
DO frank In forming our political
opinions. Whether Il man DO II Repub.
lichn OF a Democrat he should DO one
from an enlightened conviction. One
OF the most cuntomptible objects to be
met with is the professional politician
guided by no principles nor motives
u honesty II a man believes honestly
in certain principles To he Republican
or Democrat it Is his duty to propa.
gate those opinions for the Information
and good of others.
But this is not ull. Every man in q
free country should be Interested in
politics, for there tho safety of the
country rests. But he should have
tolerance for those who have opposite
political opinions. 1t is not right to
forCo Into man that which he does
not want to tuko. This IS "a FREQ coun.

What are some of these differences Of
opinion? On the currency question
there are differences. The Democrats
are divided upon that question, aud O
segment Of tho Republican party in the
wesl have split OIL from the main body
on that question. There is differ,
ence of opinion on the banking ques
ton. The Republican party believes
in II national bank note that stands
for an honest dollar in every State IL
the Union. Our democrat il brothers
favor repeal OF tho tax on STATE
banks which would give us again the
old wild cat-currencya and shin plaslerf
upon which brokers graw rich in dis
counting. Tho Republican party thinks
that the present system of currency is
the correct one.

we have had tho admirable Mckinley
law In operation. and 1t seems to give
the greatest satisfaction to the indus
trial interests of the country. EyeI
since 1861, the Democrats have
been at the tariff passed by the patrl
OTIS Of that time. In the 40th Con
gre5s they tried to give us tho Morri
son horizontal tariff; in the 50th Con
Eress they tried to give us the Milli
thrill, but in tho List two years OF
Cleveland's administration they trlet
to give us raw materialn tariff. nnt
now they are trying to give us an GU
