heDuDllChUS ldSU evening long DeIOre
the marching columns arrived with the
crowd which always waits TO see the pa
rade the galleries were partially filled and
many ladies were there To hear the
speeches.
After the people in the gallery had
waited patieu ly for n long time the
beating of drums ald the cheering of
drawing near escorting the speakers OF
evening.
There we're men who saw the Republi-
eau party start and young fellows who
will cast their first vote for Harrison and
Reid, Nov. s. Democrats were there, too,
not few.
Charles A. Wilson, John A. Coleman
and Joseph A Kendrick headed the first
column of Republicans who filed into the
room.
President George f. Barstow, escorted
Gov. Brown, Gen. Kendall, NJ Turner of
Tennessee, and the Hon. David Hail Rice
TO the pla form, aud the band struck up
a lively air.
Mr.. Barstow opened the meeting. He
was pleased TO see 80 many present con
sidering the postponement.
David Hall Rice was first introduced.
Mr.. Hall began with a passage of scrip
ture refe rring to locusts and wild honey,
snl wondered what the Democratic
party would do when it went into
the wilderness with its Hone
spoiled. lie congratulated the Re
publican party That IL had no plank In
It's platform that it wanted TO run away
from. lne Democratic party got a scar
Ing for not being so happily fixed. Pro
lection and tariff for revenue only as the
stand for them were eX-
planned The Democrats in 80 won by
telling what the Mckinley bill would do,
but now the Republicans mean TO show
what the bill has done. Mr.. Rice then

that tariff for revenue only means pro-
lection in any way The Dem Gratis saw
that with free trade they would De de-
feated and now attempt To show that
tariff for revenue only does not mean free
trade Notwithstanding that for 40 years
IL has always been understood so.
'Tnimble riggers" applied TO the Demo
Gratis seemed 60 please the audience. The
Demo mocrats' allies ac ;oss the water were
quoted 10 show thaG they considered il
Tree trade enough for them.
English explanations that the Demo
Gratis would open the markets to England
were brought and pretty clearly and the
audience saw IL.
"A revenue tariff lays the burden on
the people, but the protective tariff pro-
tects the people and helps them by build
ing up home factory TO reduce the price
Jonn "A. Coleman" he said, bought
pair of snoes In Boston Tor 50, and IN
London found that he could not aupli-
cate them for 81"
He read from an English trade paper
ali explanation OF how Americans get the
revenue out of foreigners aud protect
their own people.
Mr.. Rice then dwelt upon the in
crease of wages and reduction of the cost
of living In many States, as the reports Of
the labor bureaus show.
Some witty remarks on Peck and the
Mugwump papers were appr sciated by
the people in the galleries as we'll as the
club members on the floor. Peck was
shown TO be one OF the finest statisticians
on the earth. sThe decrease of three
iourths in farm mortgages on farms in
Minnesota was shown TO be contradictory
of the Democratic platform.
The great Democratic party, bound to
decry every interest in the country, Mr..
Rice considered pitiable. The beneficial
effects of reciprocity were also shown aud
figures given TO disprove Democratic
claims TO tue contrary.
''Reciprocity has made us masters Of
the commercial policy which governs the
world" a strong eulogy OF the caudi-
dates closed Mr.. Rce's speech. He was
loudly applauded.

with great applause. Mr. Turner said

Southern wOmaihood
Thousands OF Southern men are to-
day praying Goa TO give the Republican

Woe

lie believed IL was God ordained fact
that the success of the Republican party
ia this campaign was as essential TO the
political salvation of the country as the
