M. VI. Cannon of Omaha Speaks to 8
 Crowded House.
 Chairman Hynes called to order in the auditorium last night the largest audi ence that has listened to any political speeker in Waterbury since the opening of this campaign. Henry I. Boughton had been chosen to preside at the meet ing and before introducing the speaker he made a ringing appeal to the men of Waterbury to attend to the important duty of becoming voters, and personally attending to the matter of seeing that their names were on the list of voters. Mir Boughton went into the administra- tion of Grover Cleveland with enthus- iasm, and said that if elected he would make the best president since Washing ton. The Third Ward Democratic club came in while Mir Bougton was speak ing, and when they were seated he in troduced Judge NV. Cannon of Omaha who said practically:
 MT Chairman and Fellow Countrymen of Waterbury:
 "They say that when a man comes from the west as for as Omaha that he I is from the wild and woolly west; we'll I am wild enough, but (putting his hand on bald spot) I am not very woolly. The cry of apathy that has been raised l on both sides in the past has been due | in a manner to the Columbian exhibi- | tors and from this time on it will be | different. This is an intellectual cam- paign. What goes on behind the scenes \ in the way of money you and I my friends are not permitted to know. We hope that little can be done with money | for we regard the man, who is base | enough to make a merchandise of his | franchise, as great traitor as the man | who fired the first gun at Sumpter. He ! UnIIi6 horch xxynr6 onoiV7ct tho \ executive of America: We sympathize with President Harrison at the bedside \ of his sick wife, he was all that could be said of an American. We present to you man who is all that can be desired of an American, | a man who can set his face against every form of corruption the great, able determined Grover Cleveland. The republicans have been telling us that whenever anything was discovered | to be wrong, they would reform within | the party but they never reformed the tariff, leastwise not by lowering it. Sen ator Frye said in Patterson, N. J., the other day that the tariff is not high, it should be higher. The only trouble is | that so many immigrants are standing around the shop doors. The speaker
 then took up the force bill which repub
 licans proposed to pass for the purpose
 of remaing in power and of keeping uI
 this extraordinary tariff bill and spoke
 of its workings in the great cities of tho
 north under Davenport and Martin anC
 Dudley and Quay. Although he wal
 listened to with interest throughout, ye
 he appeared at his best when he touched | upon the question of Blaine and ReiC
 and Egan angling for the Irish vote '' yield to no man in America Tn my love
 for the Irish cause, I yield to no man 1T
 the desire to see my country free, to SCI
 the land that holds my mothers grave ;
 free land; but owe through the oath O
 allegiance which have taken my frs
 duty to America. I willno see Ireland
 made the sport of politicians. l an
 sorry that MT Blaine injected this ques
 tion into the campaign, but as he did s' ! propose to answer it. When we vot'
 m America we vote for American prin
 ciples, and it is foolish and shame fo
 the great ex-secretary to say otherwise
 When did Mir Reid begin to think st
 much of his dear friend Mir Egan
 It is only few months ago since his pa per, the New York Tribune, was crying for his resignation and recall from Chili The speaker then showed that protection
 and free trade had nothing to do wit lreland's state or condition, and showe the causes. The many different appeal which the republican managers ar
 making in different sections of tn l country were touched on. Tn great promises which those sam managers make before electio and the little they perform after electio were dwelt upon and the speake ? closed with a reference to the remark } of Chairman Boughton and the advic . to examine your consciences and vot 9 honestly to their dictates, and frow upon the man who would sell his frar
 chise. Preserve tho liberty that Jeffe1 son preserved for you. Hold to the las 8 this resting place of free institutions. Le not monopoly or aristocracy gain foot 3 hold in it. A rising vote of thanks wa
 given the speaker and three cheers fo Cleveland and Stevenson and while tn
 Canadian band played patriotic airs tn audience dispersed.
