The Glee Club having sung several cam
paIgn songs, Mr. Campbell. one OF the
Presidential electors. opened his batteries
OF eloQuence on the Democratic party.
First he contrasted the war records OF
Harrison and Cleveland. When the great
crisis arrived Mr.. Harrison, he said. took a
musket in his hand, strapped kuaDSack
on his back and marched forth TO battle
with the determination that rot a single
star should be obliterated. What did the
Democratic standard-bearer do? He staid
at home in the city Of Buffalo and sent a
| substitute.
Mr.. Campbell pronounced the word sub
"a thnnUh
thing, and the audience loudly applanded.
He told of an incident which happened to
an Indiana friend of his who received bull
let through his knee in battle. His friend
was telling how he was going through the
Woods at the time he was shot, when by
stander interrupted him by asking him why
be didn't get behind tree.
Why" replied the veteran, "there were
not enough trees to go round among the
officers"
When the laughter at this story had sub
sided Mr.. Campbell made the application.
Had every man that wears the little cop
per button" he said. followed Mr.. CleVe-
lands example there would not have been
enough substitutes TO go round"
Mr.. Cleveland. he said. had vetoed every
| pension bill that he could getan opportunity
| TO veto.
Mr.. Campbell followed with an elaborate
| argument in defense of protection, in the
| course of which he indicated the evils OF
| free trade. He quoted from speech by the
| British Chancellor of the Exchequer, in
which the latter accounted for the indus.
| trial depression in that country by the pol
icy Of free trade, and in which he aseribet
the prosperity Of the United States to the
| American tariff.
In regard TO silver. he said that the Re
| publican party was doing all Is could fol
| silver. The party that saved the country
/ resumed specie payment and threw its pro
| tecting arm around every American indus
| try would in time have bimetallic con.
| greSs which would see to it that the silve
| dollar of the wOTkingman should stand sid,
| by side with the gold dollar Of the million
| aiTe.
Mr. Cleveland, he said, had been called
the Stuffed Prophet" but be was a false
prophet like the prophets Of Baal, and or
the Sth Of November he would, like them
be consumed with fire.
