1--WE Named the Right MAN.
BALTIMORE, Oct, 2O.-Senator Cor
man today made his first campaign
speech Of the present canvass. lie ad-
dressed tho largest political audience
ever congregated in Howard County.
The Senator'S appearance on the stump
attracted almost every prominent De-
mocratlc politician Of the State to the
little town of Glenelig. The meeting
German was enthusiastically received.
In the course of his remarks, the Sena-
tor said:
have been called from my duties in
the National Committee to bring you
words OF cheer and comfort, and to say
to the sturdy Democracy OF Howard
county. and OF Maryland, the Nag OF
victory Will lly from the Democratic
masthead.
10 tell you this is in important elec
llon is TO repeat what You already
know: 10 say that the great pending
ISSUE is the tariff would be insulting to
your intelligence. 10 say that the Ire.
publican party has placed itself in the
hands OF corporate powers and is being
directed by influences that threaten
| your liberty is to tell an Old story.
say to you frankly that thought,
| from the division in our party in other
states, that we would not elect Mr..
Cleveland if nominated. | said this
freely in counsel with other members
OF The party, and thought it would DO
wise ior us to select some other leader
! we named the right man, and evil
J dehccS ol THIS are coming in from all
| quarters, and the honest expression of
J the country Will ratify our selection in
| November.
There is mole at stake in this con-
test than the success Of individuals
lhere Is involved Elany things that, If
Harrison IS elected, will fall upon us
with the same heavy oppression we en-
countercd in the bloody days succeed
ing the civil war.
1T was natural that the Republican
party, born in revolution and ushered
INTO power by aid of the hayonet,
should enter at once upon the robbery
Of the masses. 1t was natural that
when they saw their structure totter-
ing they should look out for to save
themselves from being throttled by the
strong arm Of popular in"ignation.
Away up In Massachusetts the cry was
stated that the ballot box was being
dchauched. This was the beginning of
the force bll!. They brought out a bill
so sklllfnlly drawn that 1t required all
the Lawyers in the Senate to find out
what IT meant.
We have two evils presented TO us at
the same tlmc-the Tariff bill TO rob
you and the force bill to take away
your liberties. We fought them and
succeeded In part. We let them steal
your pocket books in order that we
might save your liberties. We showed
that the paSSSge OF the bill meant Il BAY
Onet behind every ballot.
The Republican orators charge us
with dodging the bank tax issue. Well,
nave we not as much right to dodge
this issue as Harrison has to dodge the
force bill, which his party platform de.
claTeS in favor of? We all know that
he will urge the passage Of this bill if
he has sufficient control to secure its
enactment. They are doomed without
it.
