Democratic free trade that causes the pres
ent condition of things in this country. Let
six men, whom you or | could name IN Inc
the United States Senate; let one man, whom
YOU or | could name, in the Executive char,
declare tomorrow morning that they, or he,
will not permit for the next three years any
change in the tariff policy of this country,
and will see that the Mckinley bill has q
fair trial, and if within six weeks the
wheels of the factories of the United States
are not turning again, and the fire III us
furnices are not lighted again, and the wofK
in its iron mines and coal mines IS not re-
sumed, and its capital is not beginning TO
move and prosperity and comfort do not
come back again to the homes of its work
men. you may sentence me to be a Tree
trader and a democrat for the rest of my
natural life, and | cannot invoke for myself
any worse fate than that"
"While we are speaking three exL;onfed-
crate soldiers, who, long after they had ar
rived at the time when men do not ordinarily
change their opinions, thought the true rela-
ton between the employer and the working
man was that the employer should own the
w~orkingnan, and who had given the best
work of their lives to overthrow the Constr
tuition of their country, are shut up N a
committee room at the Capitol to decide
whether it is for the interest of New Jersey
that this policy shall longer continue. What
ever creed they formulate, the entire Dem
ocratic party is expected to say sAmenV"
TRIBUTE TO NEW JERSEY.
In speaking of New Jersey Mr.. Hoar said:
tit is made up of brave, honest. sturdy
men. New Jersey saw on her soil the battles
of Monmouth, Trenton, Princeton. The
death struggle to which the sons of her W
soil so nobly contributed. When the great
Constitution was formed for the protection
of our homes, there were other States that
hesitated and were divided, but New Jersey
gave its approval at once. All glory to your
State. 1t has never been sectional, selfish or
narrow. Her influence today is the best
example for the South. Better than the
influence of the statesmen who m-isrepresent
her,"
GENERAL B%uRNETTs' ADDRESS.
sLincoln's Administration, was responded
to by General Henry L. Burnett, who served
under Lincoln, and was a personal friend OF
the President. He said:-"Abraham Lin
coin: that name has in it a magic charm
that will reach down through all time:-He
was the first transcenden mt leader of the he
publican party of the United States. Taking
him all in all, he was the most wonderful
character the world has ever produced. No
story. no romance, tells a story like his;
during ali his days his works struck into all
hearts:-No life begun so low and ended SO
high"
The speaker spoke of Lincoln's early life
in Kentucky, his meager schooling and hard
toll. How he would take a book and go into
the field and study. How he went TO Spring
field, ILL.,, and asked Joshua Spied how much
it would cost to fit up a room. Spied replied
that it would take about s17, but took Lin
coin UP to his own room and said:-"If you
can satisfy yourself here, you can stop with
me- Lincolnsthrew down his saddle bags and
said, "Spied, I'm moved
s'Chief among Lincoln's characteristics
was his fundamental principle of honesty.
a - +Lo% -f%ov. NNaChfao -
ton led the forces in the Revolution, no
greater fortune has ever come to the Amerl-
can people than the nomination OF Lincoln.
sHe thought slowly. He was not a mai
of quick perception. His one trait was to
see and ascertain what was true. lie reason
ed each question carefully and methodically
before coming to a conclusion, but when he
had made up his mind to the truth he was
like a rock in the seas against which the
tumultuous onslaughts of his enemies were
void. SANDER and calumny were like the
Kissing of the spray that beat against the
rock.
AND THE PEOPLE.
"Lincoln and the People" was responded
to by Rev. DIR. Lloyd, who made a brilliant
address, characterizing Lincoln's life as a
grand and magnificent one. He was the
most magnificent exponent Of liberty for all
men since the time when Adam was foolish
enough to eat the apple that EVE gave him.
The speaker dwelt upon the good works OF
Lincoln-how he overcame public senti-
ment and created a new sentiment IN
favor of the slave. "Public sentiment, the
speaker said was the foundation of all
countries, and if that sentiment was correct
the nation would be all right. We ourselves
should endeavor to mould our characters
after Abraham Lincoln, because a more rep
resentative American never lived"

cilessly scored the the rings and bosses,

thing, even the judiciary.
