Of 'Aunie Laurie" Psrsoni fsvorite song,
and then Schvab delivered his address.
The earlier portion Of his speech was
taken up BY sn assount Of the last night in
jail prior 70 the execution of the anarchists.
He said: IL was the most wrstchsd night
sf my life; tho clicking of tho telegraph in
styumsnts conveying every act of the mar
tyrs throughout the world, slternated with
the moAotonous hsmneEinR On the soaffold
and the awful thunps when tho
ropes were tested. Al last the
day dawusd. The servants of the
Law. with distressed faces. were running
back and forth, smelling of the schnapps
which they had taken in order 70 be in
spirsd with courage for the murder In the
execution Of which they wsrs the instru-
nsnts Al II o'clock Sheriff MAtson ap-
pearsd. spiss. Par:ons. Fischer and Enele
were handou6sd and the death caps thrown
over them. Az they stood before our cells
they called n us . last farewell and the
march 10 the gallows began" Tho speaker
then reviewed the causes which led up to
the Haymarket massacre. He said: 1.-THE
preparations of the oapitalissie class caused
our leaders 10 xdviss us to arm and defend
Ourselves. This advise was perhaps foolish
wise under the circumstances, for
In ths sphere Of PHI ysioal power the capital
ist il far superior to the workingnan."
Regarding the throwing Of the fatal bomb
he sAid:s I'VE defy the police TO trace the
thrower Of the bomb TO our ranks or show
that the man Who threw ii was . working
man." In relation TO the pardon bv Gov
ornor Altaeld the speaker said: "The ao-
tion Of Gov. Altaeld brings 10 us the hors
that there are yet men of stern honesty Of
purpose who have the courage to stand up
for the truth. and there 10 bright future
before as BY vhieh truth and right shall
prevail" He concluded by earnestly ap-
psaling to the audience to submit oil Quss-
tions of difference between capital and
labor to arbitration.
Fisldea next spoke and said: To-day
We stand in the face Of . society based. not
on equal rights. but on the rights Of priv
ilsee. and the only thing that gives us oour-
age IN that here and there \ man rises up
like Gov. AltReld who has tho courage Of
his convictions. The men buried yonder
will receive justice In the future. I be-
seech that you 10 TO your homes and re-
solve to do your duty in riRhtina tho wrong
done them." After singing the asssmblags
dispersed.
