caniSm.
He Points TO the Tilden Outrage
and Other Political

Roast.

Philadelphia, oct. 1o.-One Oh the
largest political meetings Of the cam
Daign was held tonight under the au-
spices Of the Young Mems Democratic
association of this city, which invited
Wayne McEeagh, formerly attorney
general under Garfield, to make an adj
dress. McVeagh said in part that up to
the present time lie had not felt at
the electoral vote Of Louisiana, but
liberty to vote for any but republicans.
In 1876 he believed Iildeu entitled to
tn electoral vote Of Louisiana. But
President Grant, Secretary Chandler,
Secretary Cameron, General Sheridan
III command Of the troops i'll that state,
anl Secretary RoDesCn, with gunbOats
In its waters, were all deeply interest
cd in the election. United States Mar
shall Packard were seeking the COVER
norship with 4 host Of deputies 1T his
coAmind, and yet when the polls closed
Iildcn had 1000 votes more than
Hayes. The speaker objected to this.
lie watched with pain the s<tcady
growth OF the corrupt use Of money in
politics lie hoped the republican
party would turn itself against con-
grcsSion1I bounlIeS and diminish the
awful traffic III votes. Ills hopes were
disappointed and nc WAS convinced
that unless the republican party was
checked il would make the poor poorer
and the rich richer, more corrupt,
selfish AMI less patriotic. lie de
manded that lie rich shall not destroy
the source OF national life. There
was too much truth, he said, III the
TuIHGrS that the election Of 1888 WAS
bought. There is no way in account
ing for the action of the republican
party for the last four years other than
III the bargain and sale Of legislation.
lie did not see how any man i'll his
right SENSES thought it wise to inflict
upon the poor tic awful burdens 81

And what is trile Of the Mckinley bill,
