District Attorney Burleigh was then in
troduced. He spoke for half an hour, re-
citing the successes of the Republican party
since its birth and election of Abraham Lin
coin as its first chiettain and standard
bearer. His mention of the names of Grant,
Garfield, Hayes, Blaine and Harrison elic-
tied great applause. He lauded the admin
istration of President Harrison and
predicted success for the party in
November. He said there should
be more or less local pride in the ticket
named at Minneapolis, because of the stand
taken BY the local leader-C. L. Magee.
Hon. E. E. Cotton spoke next, making
stirring Endorsement of the ticket.
A. c. Robertson followed. He first re-
ferred to the work done by c. L. Magee to
secure Harrison's nomination. Then he
spoke of the Presidents administration
which he said was "clcan, able, conscien-
tious and irreproachable. Then referring
to Whitelaw Reid, he said: "For the bene-
fit Of the Southside working people
1 want to say a word about the tail of the
ticket.
A Word for the Tall of the Ticket.
SIT is said he has been running q
said to Mr. Reid: Before we nominate You
for Vice President of the United States you
must square yourself with your employee.
What does that mean? 1t means that the
principles of the Republican party are with
the workingmen and it will not have
standard bearer who does not recognize the
rights of wage earners" Mr.. Robertson's
remarks were heartily applauded.
Prot: George j. Luckey spoke very
briefly in humorous vice. He said: "The
human race in America is divided into
three classes-the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties and the Law and Order
Society" [Laughter.1 'Now," said Prof
Luckey, 1--WE all have our political prefer
men, Mckinley men, Lincoln men and
Harrison men. After the nomination was
over they were all Harrison men, and to-
night every Republican in the United
States is Harrison man. Cheers. I
presume Mr.. Cleveland will be the standard
bearer of the Democratic party.
Then we will have Cleveland men
and Harrison men. think it would be a
good thing if we could convert all the
Democrats and have nothing at all in
November but Harrison men. lCheers and
laughter1.
The meeting closed with three cheers for
the ticket
Only Praise for Harrison.

publican ticket BY a majority of about q, OOO,
ind she would roll up majority of 10000
or Harrison and Reid. Continuing, he

Presidents the country has ever had, and
he other is that the man who was largely
for the nomination is ''our own
