The thunder storm kept down the attend
ancs at the meeting Of the Second Ward
Club last night at Odd-Fellows' Hall, and
kept back the Hon. F. NJ. Parrish till nearly
$50 o'clock. when he gave them one OF bis
earnest and hearty 'exhortations." as he
calls Thorn.
There was some preliminary business OF
the club. which, under President Merritt
was soon disposed Of. and Mr. Parrish was
introduced in few appropriate remarks
after calling Colonel G.. K. Macon. chair
man of the city Democratic committee. TO
the chair to preside.
Mr.. Parrish asked permission to take on
his coat. and asked that somebody 60 up
stairs and say to the Odd-Fellows in session
there that brother wants them TO listen 70
him. So The TINES man went and tolo
them, and increased the audience by twenty
or more. Senator Parrish was in good
torn and went on to address the voters IN
his forcible aud clear style on the issues or
the campaign. He reviewed at length the
claims of the Democratic party for the con-
fdence of the people and analysed the de-
merits of the Republican party from their
record.
The Third or Peoples party was handled
without gloves. their fallscies and preten;;
sions held up TO ridicule and he closed amid
great applause. exhorting them 70 stand TO-
gether and vote for Cleveland. Stevenson
and George D. Wise.
Dir. Isaac Diggs. OF West Point. was re,
ceived with applause and congratulated
Manchester on her recent growth. He SAID
that some newspapers had mentioned MS
being the grand chancellor of Knights OF
Pythiss in announcing his coming. he
wished to say that the order OF Knights OF
Pythias had nothing 10 do with politics.
He mentioned the disastrous effect or the
politician upon the Knights OF Labor ana the
Farmers Alliance lately by bringing poll
tics into the orders. He went ahead, as ne
said in opening he would do. IL plain
cOmmon-sense way. to tell them some IAcIs'
and he did tell them facts. -.
Contrasting the two parties, the hepupll-
can and Democratic. he showed them tnat
the Democratic party is that OF the poor
man and the people. and the hepuoncan
parry that of trusts and the millionaire
and the one under which we have seen the
rich man grow richer and the poor man
poorer.
The speaker then made clear ana iucld
expose of the expressions and shortcon-
ings of the Republicans, and made very
plain the claims OF the Democratic party
TOR the peoples support.
The horror of the Force bill and its prac-
tical gagging of the will OF the people In the
ballot-box was foroibly presented, ana ne
closed with an earnest appeal to MS EEL
low-Democrats to work without ceaslng Tor
the success of the ticket
